Purchasing a mattress is the most important furniture purchase you”ll make because you spend more time on a mattress than on any other piece of furniture you own, unless you have a tendency to fall asleep every night in a recliner like my husband does.

The seven items below are things you should be aware of and to consider before you purchase a mattress since that mattress will be a huge factor in the quality of sleep you receive each evening.

1) Decide on a budget. The prices of mattresses vary a great deal. If price is your number one consideration you can find an inexpensive mattress and box spring set for a few hundred dollars. But I recommend buying the best mattress and box spring you can afford. When you buy a mattress you get what you pay for. My first two mattress purchases were based on price and I never really got a good night’’s sleep. I saved and bought a high quality mattress a few years ago. It was a great buying decision. I now wake up feeling rested and refreshed, not tired and sore like I used to.

2) Decide what size mattress you are going to buy. If you are buying a mattress for a child a twin size mattress is fine, but if you are an adult and there are two people sleeping in your bed I don”t recommend going with anything smaller than a queen size bed. If you can afford a king-size bed and you have the room for it, I recommend it.

I now own a king size bed and it’’s nice having enough space in bed to move around a little without disturbing my partner like I used to. In our old bed (a full size) I once accidentally hit my husband in the mouth in the middle of the night when I rolled over and flung my arm out. He was not a happy person! If you think a full-size mattress is big enough for two people consider this: a full size mattress gives each person the same amount of bed width as in a baby crib. Queen size mattresses are the most popular size but if two people are sleeping in a queen size bed each person still has 10 ½ inches less bed width than if they were sleeping by themselves in a twin bed.

The standard sizes of mattresses are: TWIN: 39″ wide, 75″ long; TWIN EXTRA LONG: 38″ wide; 80″ long; DOUBLE/FULL: 54″ wide, 75″ long; QUEEN: 60″ wide, 80″ long; KING: 76″ wide, 80″ long; CALIFORNIA KING: 72″ wide, 84″ long. Read more »

If you’re looking to improve your sleep with platform beds you should also look toward the concept of organic mattresses. With so much concern over the types of materials that come into contact with our bodies it is only natural that there would be an increase in popularity of organic mattresses. While the process begins with sheep shearing in New Zealand and France, organic mattresses are available all over the world. With people becoming more concerned about the toxics and chemicals in everything that surrounds them, there is little reason to doubt the reason organic mattresses are gaining popularity.

Eco friendly mattresses gained their start as people began to care more about both their health and the environment around them. It started with organic meats and vegetables and has evolved into other areas as well. The pesticides and other chemicals that are contained in other products we eat or breathe have started to create a surge of consumers who care about the products they use and the foods they serve their families. The more this becomes an important issue, the more of an audience there will be seeking information about the benefits of organic mattresses. Read more »

Basically, the latex mattress is a mattress made from the sap of an actual rubber tree. There are two methods used to make them, thus producing the Dunlop latex mattress and the Talalay latex mattress. The Dunlop method whips the rubber in its liquid form and incorporates air into the mixture, and then it is put into a mold. The Talalay method also whips the rubber into a mold, but in addition, it will use core pins to cure the rubber, along with a vacuum system, thus producing a superior quality foam mattress with a more consistent cell structure. Of course, the more expensive of the two will be the Talalay latex, although both offer superior comfort and durability.

With a latex mattress, you have the opportunity to experience a superior level of comfort that just cannot be reached with a conventional inside spring mattress. A latex mattress comes in a variety of foam densities, generally the higher the density of the foam, the higher the quality. The latex foam mattress has the ability to conform to your bodies’ many curves, allowing the weight of your body to be evenly distributed, thus eliminating the existence of pressure points while you sleep soundly. After all, the bonus of a good sleep just might be that you will wake up feeling completely refreshed and ready to take on the day. In the end, whether a Dunlop latex or a Talalay Latex type, a latex mattress is at the very least, well worth considering.

It requires no chemical catalysts to foam the latex or to cure it. Really natural latex is cured by mechanical and environmental processes that do well to maintain consistency in the foam and leave the foam almost completely odorless and chemical free. Latex comes in all densities and has an almost springy feel. Read more »
