What type of mattress is best?

The perfect mattress depends on the individual, but there are a few key considerations when you ask yourself, “What type of mattress should I buy?”

• Spine support and alignment are key when choosing a new mattress.
• How do you sleep? Side, back, and stomach sleepers will find benefits in different types of mattresses.
• Do you share the bed with someone who has a different sleep position?

Pocketed coil mattresses come in most comfort levels, including extra firm, firm, and medium, so they’re good for back sleepers. Pillow top mattresses offer everything from firm to ultra plush, so try them out and match one to your sleep habits! Our firm memory foam mattresses will help back sleepers as well. Hybrid mattresses come in all comfort levels, so they can work for any type of sleeper, including partners with different sleep positions.

What type of mattress is best for back pain?

The proper mattress will eliminate most back pain, so you wake up with fewer aches and pains. As stated in the above list, the best mattress type to buy in store depends on you. For back sleepers, medium-firm mattresses are the best types of mattresses to eliminate back pain. For side sleepers, shop for a plush mattress for proper spine support. And for stomach sleepers, a firm mattress provides the support you need to get better rest.

What type of mattress is best for side sleepers?

Let’s talk about the best type of mattresses for side sleepers. If you like to curl up on your side at night, you might find that a firm or even a medium mattress is too hard. A plush or ultra plush mattress will support your hip and shoulders to take away that back pain that plagues your mornings. Look for memory foam, pillow top mattresses, and hybrid mattresses to give yourself the right amount of support and deeper sleep

What type of mattress is best for kids?

Your child’s sleep needs are just as important as yours. The younger your child, the more sleep they need, so you’ll want to make sure they’re getting the proper back support to give them rejuvenating, calming, and restful sleep. Just like with an adult, the right type of mattress to buy depends on your child’s sleep habits. Back sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers all benefit from the same type of mattress, regardless of age.
