Which is the best bed to buy?

That depends entirely on your sleep needs. There is no one size fits all best bed. So when you do your research, there are a couple of things to consider:

• Comfort rating: How firm or soft should your mattress be?
• Budget: You spend a third of your life in bed. So don’t skimp.
• Size: Are you buying for a master bedroom, guestroom or a child?

Keeping these three points in mind, you might be wondering…

What should I look for when buying a bed?

You want a bed that is both comfortable and supportive. If you sleep on your stomach, you need a mattress with a firm comfort rating. Back sleepers require a medium-firm comfort mattress and side sleepers should look for soft to medium mattresses.

Comfort vs. support

But wait, is there a difference between comfort and support? Indeed there is. The comfort rating of a bed simply refers to how soft or firm the mattress feels. Whereas support is how well the mattress keeps your spine aligned. No matter the comfort rating you choose, always make sure that your bed provides adequate support. Otherwise, your spinal health will deteriorate over time.

Budget

We stock a wide range of beds at The Mattress Warehouse. From the very affordable Strandmattress to luxurious Magniflex Beds. A rule of thumb is to spend more on a bed for the master bedroom than for the guest bedroom.

Size

The size of your bed is important. You don’t want to be cramped while you sleep because that can lead to medical complications. Ideally, you should get a bed where both you and your partner can sleep undisturbed and at peace. It is not great to have a bed that is too short, so make sure the bed you buy is long enough.
