Did you know that pillow top mattresses have a tendency to compress more than the rest of the mattress over time? As a result, you may need to replace this type of mattress sooner than the conventional type.
If you love that cushiony feel associated with the pillow top, a better option when mattress shopping would be to buy a replaceable padded topper instead.
Experts also recommend sitting on the edge of the bed you are thinking of buying for five minutes. Watch to see if it dips noticeably, which could mean the construction of that mattress is inferior. The best thing you can do is get up and look for another one.
Another important tip to look for when mattress shopping is how tightly woven the fabric of that new mattress is. The tighter the weave, the better protection you’ll have from keeping dust and shedding skin from getting into the mattress. In the long run, a looser weave in the construction could end up aggravating an allergy problem.
What else that can help when mattress shopping is to actually lay down and test the mattress for at least 10-15 minutes. Don’t be worried that salespeople or other shoppers will stare as you stretch out. With all the hours you spend in bed, you want to make sure that the one you are considering is comfortable since you will be living with that new mattress for at least 7 to 10 years.
Just keep these few tips in mind when mattress shopping before making that all important investment. After all, you spend a good part of your life sleeping so you might want to safeguard that investment for your wallet and health.
