There are many different makes of quality mattresses so you have a large choice of mattresses that you can look at online and then purchase. When you are making this decision you should take your time because it is a large dollar item and you will have to sleep on it for the next seven to ten years which is the expected lifetime of use for most mattresses. The life expectancy of a high quality memory foam mattress may be from ten to twenty years but they are fairly new to the market and they are also still evolving. You also have to consider how many people are going to sleep on the mattress one or more because you will need to make sure the mattress is large enough for the number of people who are going to use it. That means each person needs enough room to sleep comfortably at night. If one person tends to sprawl you may need a larger mattress than if both sleep like logs that never move. If you are buying a mattress for a small child and it’s for a youth bed which you may change to a larger bed in two years or so then you may not need the same quality of mattress as you would if it is going to be slept on for the next seven to ten years. Mattresses also come in a variety of sizes and also softness through hardness. There are several different general mattress sizes which go from single or twin size to double, queen and king size plus some variations within those sizes. Mattress sizes in Europe and the UK differ slightly from those in the US. Within the different size ranges there is also the hardness or softness of the mattress. This is from very firm down to quite soft. There are some general rules of thumb when you are considering the degree of firmness or softness. It is generally recommended that if you are a stomach sleeper then you should consider a firm mattress. If you generally sleep on your side the mattress should be softer. A medium firm mattress is generally recommended for someone who sleeps on their back. Some of them may even come in a variation with one side softer than the other side of the mattress. Or there is also a mattress that is considered adjustable in firmness. You may encounter these in the better quality hotels. When you are looking for a new mattress you will be purchasing a mattress and matching box spring. It is not recommended that you put a new mattress on an old box spring. For one thing if the box spring is made from coils those coils will also weaken with use just like the mattress does. Also there are always improvements being made so at various points in time you may be getting better designed quality for these parts. And the mattress and box spring are meant to be paired with each other for the best sleep.
