Too often, people are unaware of mattress wear and tear until their bodies start to notice for them. The Better Sleep Council recommends carefully evaluating the comfort and support of your sleep set at least twice a year. To find the one that best suits you, go to a local mattress retailer and compare the comfort and support of the new sleep sets in the store to your sleep set at home. If you sleep with a partner, take your partner. It's important to decide on a sleep set that meets both your needs.
Correct support is essential to healthy sleep.
A good mattress and foundation will gently support your body at all points and keep your spine in the same body position as good standing posture. Mattresses don't have to be hard as a board to be good for you, though some people may prefer a firmer feel. Today, mattresses are built with luxurious new cushioning materials and surface treatments, creating a plusher feel. While these mattresses may feel more plush, the core provides the needed support for your body. You'll sleep best on a mattress and foundation that offer you superior comfort as well as appropriate support.
