SUMMARY/CHECKLIST YOU CAN BRING IN-STORE WITH YOU

1. Visit a Store with a Diverse Selection:

- Ensure the store offers a variety of mattress types (memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, etc.).

- Confirm that the store carries mattresses within your budget range.

2. Bring Your Pillow:

- Select a pillow in the store that is similar to your preferred one, or bring your own from home. Use this for testing the mattresses

3. Quick Firmness Test:

- Test a range of mattresses by lying on your back for a quick assessment of firmness.

- Make a note of the firmness levels that feel most comfortable for you.

4. Narrow Down Choices

- Based on the quick firmness test, select a shortlist of mattresses that match your preferred level.

- Consider any additional features or technologies that may affect your choice (e.g., cooling gel, motion isolation).

- Keep track of your favorite mattress as you test others. Compare each one to see if it surpasses your current top pick. This way, you'll narrow down your choices effectively.

5. Thorough Testing

- Lie on each potential mattress in various positions, especially your preferred sleeping positions (side, back, stomach).

- Lie on each potential mattress in various positions, especially your preferred sleeping position.

- Take note of how the mattress feels in each position and ensure it provides adequate support to maintain your normal posture.

6. Final Selection Process:

- Test your preferred mattresses in your normal sleeping positions, focusing on relaxation and alignment.

- Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel how your body settles into the mattress.

- Ensure the mattress is touching all of your body without pushing you out of position, and maintains your spinal alignment.

Additionally, if you're testing with a partner:

- Discuss preferences and find a compromise if there are differing opinions on the best mattress.

- Consider mattresses with dual firmness options if significant differences cannot be reconciled.

Remember, it's important to spend sufficient time on each step to ensure you make the best choice for your comfort and sleep quality. Happy mattress shopping!
