How to Choose the Right Mattress
How to choose the right mattress for your individual needs

Consider The Different Types of Mattresses
- Memory foam
mattresses are for those who prefer body shaping, contouring, pressure relief, and support. There is a variety of foams classified as memory foams giving sleepers more options, but these are a good option for those who prefer a more pronounced hug in a mattress.
- Innerspring coil
mattresses are the most widely used mattress types and are a good option for those who prefer a more traditional spring feel and want bounce, cooling, and strong edge support.
- Adjustable
mattresses allow those who have specific needs to benefit from an adjustable foundation. This may be the right choice for those sleepers who have medical conditions, sleep apnea, chronic back pain, and other circumstances.
- Pillow-top mattresses are great for those sleepers who prefer a softer and more cushion-like comfort. If you enjoy a cloud-like type of support, then this type would be an option for you.
Consider Firmness Options
Your body type, weight, size, sleep position, and other factors play into what firmness is the best choice for your individual needs. The average preferred firmness for mattresses falls between a 4-7 out of 10 range.
Consider Your Sleeping Position
- Side sleepers often rotate and switch sides and often prefer mattresses that are soft-medium firmness as the mattress should be soft enough to conform to their body while still offering enough support.
- Back sleepers require a mattress that is more on the firm side in order to give the support needed to create the right amount of pushback needed.
- Stomach sleepers should prioritize support as the torso applies the most pressure to the mattress. A firmer mattress can help provide better back support for those who sleep on their stomachs or backs.
