The 10-Point Buyer's Checklist
Buying a mattress is an investment in your health. Follow these steps from top to bottom to ensure the perfect night's sleep.
Determine Your Sleep Position
Your position dictates the firmness you need. Side sleepers usually require a softer surface for pressure relief, while back and stomach sleepers need firmer support.
Understand Material Types
Look at the "guts" of the bed: Innerspring (bouncy), Memory Foam (pressure relief), or Hybrid (mix of both).
Measure Your Space
Account for the bed frame or room clearance. Check dimensions of Twin, Queen, and King sizes against your actual floor space.
The "15-Minute" Comfort Test
Don't just sit on the edge. Lie down in your natural sleeping position for at least 15 minutes to feel the true support.
Check the Motion Transfer
If you sleep with a partner, memory foam and wrapped coils are the best options for minimizing the feeling of them tossing and turning.
Temperature Regulation
Do you sleep hot? Look for mattresses with cooling gel, copper-infused foam, or breathable wool covers.
Weight Capacity and Density
To ensure your mattress lasts, check the foam density. High-quality materials support your body weight without sagging within the first year.
Ask for Warranty
Check if the warranty covers "sagging" and what specific depth of indentation is required for a replacement.
Ask for Same-Day Delivery
Most reputable stores (including Cheap Mattress Store by MATCO Mattress) offer same-day delivery so you can sleep better tonight.
