Comfort

The mattress for a great night's sleep is the one that meets your personal needs for comfort and support. Evaluate your selection for comfort, durability, and support. The durability of a mattress set is determined by the quality of the materials used and the manufacturing process. The proper mattress set will gently support your body at all points and maintain your spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture.

Material

Top quality mattress and foundation sets are constructed of luxurious new cushioning materials along with surface treatments that deliver a comfortable sleep experience. The most common is the coil mattress. These mattresses utilize steel coils that are tempered, giving the mattress additional strength and durability. The other leading mattress material type is the Visco Elastic also known as memory foam. These types of beds are generally more expensive than the more popular coil design.

Size

Size is one of the important decisions you will make that will impact the quality of sleep. A twin is perfect for a child. Full or double is ideal for use in small rooms, or a college dormitory. Queen is perfect for couples who like close quarters or a king for couples that want optimal personal sleeping space. California King provides more length and less width than a standard king size. In most cases, the California King is the standard king size on the West Coast.

Quality Bedding for a Good Night's Sleep

The Cornell University's Ergonomics group recommends looking for a mattress designed to conform to the spine's natural curves and to keep it in alignment when you lie down. Also suggested are mattresses designed to distribute pressure evenly across the body to help circulation, decrease body movement and minimize the transfer of movement from one sleeping partner to the other. The best brand and model is the one that meets this criteria…for you!
