How to Choose the Right Mattress:
If you feel a little uncomfortable about shopping for a new mattress, you're not alone. Most people only shop for a mattress once every decade, if that, so it's understandable if you're not completely sure what style or size of mattress you should be looking to purchase. That's why we have compiled this list of a few of the important things you should consider to find a mattress that delivers the comforting and rejuvenating sleep you deserve.
- Mattress Size
- Things to keep in mind when choosing a mattress size:
- Length of mattress should be minimum 6" longer than height of tallest person sleeping on the bed
- To test the width of a mattress, lie down next to your partner and both place your elbows behind your head. Your elbows should not touch one another or go beyond the edge of the mattress.
- Keep a minimum of 22" clearance at the sides of the mattress to allow sufficient movement throughout your room.
- If you have children, keep in mind their increase in height over the next couple years!
