Common Mattress Buying Questions: What to Know Before You Shop

1. How long should a mattress last?
Most mattresses will last between 7 and 12 yrs depending on the quality and materials used. People ask this question alot. Our bodies are ever changing as we age. Some gain weight, Some lose weight. Some go through surgeries, medical conditions or accidents and all of these things contribute to how long the mattress may or may not feel good to us.

2. What’s the best mattress for back pain?
A medium-firm mattress with proper lumbar support is often recommended, but the right choice can vary based on your specific needs. Ask our sleep experts to help you find a mattress that aligns your spine and cushions pressure points for better sleep and less discomfort.

3. What’s the difference between memory foam and hybrid mattresses?
Memory foam contours to your body and absorbs motion, while hybrid mattresses combine foam and coils to give you both support and comfort.

4. How do I know if I need a firm or soft mattress?
Firmness depends on your sleep position and body weight. Side sleepers often prefer softer mattresses, while back and stomach sleepers may need a firmer surface for support.

5. Do I need a box spring with a new mattress?
Not always. Many modern mattresses work well on platform beds, slats, or adjustable bases. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for support and warranty requirements.

6. Are mattress protectors worth it?
Yes. Mattress protectors help prevent stains, moisture, allergens, and dust mites. They can extend the life of your mattress and keep your warranty valid.

7. Is there a break-in period for new mattresses?
Most new mattresses need about 30 days to fully adjust to your body. During this time, the materials soften and contour better with regular use.

8. Can a mattress really help with snoring or sleep apnea?
While not a cure, certain mattresses and adjustable bases can reduce snoring by improving your sleep position and keeping airways more open.

9. How do cooling mattresses work?
Keeping your room temperature between 66 and 69 degrees will ensure that your mattress with cooling properties stays cool and gives you a great restful sleep, especially if you are hot natured. Also the right sheets and protector also play a big part in how much cooling you can actually feel with your cool mattress. Tencel cool or Bamboo sheets are highly recommended for the coolest sleep.

10. Are natural or organic mattresses better for allergies?
Yes. Mattresses made with organic latex, cotton, or wool are often hypoallergenic and chemical-free, making them a great option for sensitive sleepers.

11. What’s the difference between mattress size names?
Twin: 38″ x 75″
Full: 54″ x 75″
Queen: 60″ x 80″
King: 76″ x 80″
California King: 72″ x 84″
Queen is the most popular size for couples or single sleepers who like more space.

12. Why do some mattresses cost so much more than others?
Higher prices usually reflect better materials, longer warranties, and more advanced comfort layers. However, you can still find great value at local stores with personal guidance.
