Many people think that buying a new mattress will give them a brand new bed. However, it’s very important to establish the condition and type of the customer’s existing base.

Different people find different beds comfortable so it is important to try a range of beds for comparison. If the bed is for two people, it is also important for both to try the beds. Things to avoid when choosing your bed Prodding with your hand is no use, especially pocketed sprung mattresses that are designed to depress with your full body weight. Sitting on the edge of the bed will also give a false impression, particularly if the divan has a sprung edge. The only proper way to test a bed is to lie on it – preferably both on your back and side for an extended period of time.
