How To Shop For Your Next Mattress

What should you consider when buying your next mattress

Let's face it, even we in the mattress industry know that buying a mattress is one of the least fun things to go shopping for...

And yet it's one of the most important purchases we can ever make. So much that's important to us is reliant on getting good sleep. But we spend less time researching our mattress purchase than we do buying something as inane as a new toaster. But how we sleep has such a massive bearing on mood, performance, beauty, and of course health.

With that in mind would probably pay to spend a little longer researching what we're going to sleep on, wouldn't it?

One of the things that makes people postpone buying a new mattress is they simply feel that "if it ain't truly broke then why fix it, after all we might end up with something worse". Trying out a new mattress in a showroom is never going to feel like actually lying on it in the privacy and comfort of your own home, so people decide just to focus on something else instead. But the Sleep Council of Great Britain recommends changing mattresses every 7 years, for very good reasons.

So we decided to put this handy infographic together to help you make these first tentative steps into buying a new mattress.
