The Best Mattress to Buy Today

Buying a new mattress can be just as hard as buying a new car. You wouldn't buy a car just because it looked nice. You would probably read up on that particular model and even take it for a test drive. The same thing should be true when it comes to mattresses. You keep the mattress for about as long as you would keep the car and you use it just as much. And yet, you're expected to buy a mattress without so much as a test drive. Finding the best mattress to buy can be a difficult task. That's why we've put together some of the latest information to help you make an informed decision. Consider this your mattress test drive.

Consumer Report Mattress Test Drive

Sealy Mattress Models

In May of 2010, Consumer Report Magazine cut up 11 firm mattresses from Sealy, Simmons, Serta, along with adjustable air mattresses from Select Comfort and memory foam mattresses from Tempur-Pedic. They had 54 staff members try out the mattresses in a blind test. The results were highly static according to what staffers preferred. For that reason, they found that the same rating system that would normally work for rating televisions or appliances or even cars couldn't be used in the case of mattresses.

The most important thing to note about the consumer reports mattress reviews was that within any particular brand of mattress, the insides were basically the same. The prices varied greatly but the mattresses had the same box spring, or foundation and had the same design with slight variances in stitching and outer fabric and padding. As the price went up, so did the amount of coils inside. However, Consumer Reports found that even models with the least amount of coils were perfectly adequate.

Consumer Reports Ratings for Mattress Brands

Tempur-Pedic had a reader score of 83 and 60% of those surveyed said that they would buy it again. Scores of 80 or higher meant that customers were very satisfied. The Original Mattress Factory scored 81/52%. Select Comfort scored 80/57%. Denver Mattress was next with a score of 78/43% with scores over 60 meaning that the customers were fairly well satisfied. Simmons scored a 76 with 39% saying they would buy a Simmons mattress again. Kingsdown and Serta were next with reader scores of 74. Kingsdown had a higher number of 34% while Serta had 31% people who would definitely buy again. Sealy was next with a reader score of 73 and 32% of consumers claiming that they would definitely buy again.

The Bottom Line

Go with the model that is within your price range without being too cheap. Don't be swayed by the big differences in prices. Remember, that as the price goes up, you're basically paying for additional coils that you don't need and fabric and design that will be covered by your sheets anyway. Memory-foam can be uncomfortably warm and smell like chemicals. Skip the really cheap mattresses as they can be so thin that you can feel the springs through the padding. Skip the inflatable air beds. They can be complicated, noisy and fall apart faster than the traditional mattress. Latex foam mattresses are an ideal choice because they last long (20 years or more) and they are bio-degradable. Sealy, Simmons and Serta all ranked well in the Consumer Reports for best brands and they all offer latex foam mattresses.

Final Thoughts on Mattresses

I am a firm believer in getting the best products for the right prices. What is cheap isn't always a deal, and what is expensive isn't always of the highest quality. In my mattress research, I tried to combine consumer reports, customer opinions as well as expert advice. That combination of information has led me to believe that the best mattress to buy at this time is a Simmons Latex-Foam Mattress. The Simmons brand ranked well in customer satisfaction and they offer latex foam mattresses. The latex-foam mattress was recommended over all other types of mattresses by expert and author Barbara Flanagan of Flanagan's Smart Home.

Quick Review of Adjustable Beds

The goal of this article is to provide a brief overview of some of the more popular adjustable beds on the market today. Many of these beds can be found both online and at local retailers and include prominent manufacturers such as: Sleep Comfort, Sealy, Craftmatic, Tempur-Pedic, and Spring Air.
Craftmatic Adjustable Beds

Sealy Mattress Models

This company has been marketing adjustable beds for more than 30 years and sold more than 800,000 of these units around the world. Craftmatic offers options such as heat and massage, which for some provides important health benefits as well as comfort. Some of the problems that these types of beds are best suited for include: low back pain, hernias, blood circulation issues, water retention and swelling of the legs, arthritis, join pain, muscle pain, frequent heartburn, stress related aches, and neuralgia.

Sealy Mattress Models

Sleep Comfort
This company offers two models of bed: standard and wall hugger. The beds are offered in twin, full, queen, dual queen, king, and dual king sizes. Mattresses can be purchased for these beds in Dual firm coil, pillowtop coil, latex foam, or visco memory foam. The company is based in San Diego, California, and supplies bedding all over the United States.

Sealy
Sealy is one of the most recognized and trusted names in the bedding industry. They also happen to be one of, if not the biggest bedding manufacturer in North America. This company produces a wide range of quality mattress and foundation products from conventional bedding. Some of these include: Sealy Posturpedic, Sealy Posturpedic Luxury Collection, Sealy Backsaver, and the posture premier products as well as the Reflexion Latex Foam Collection. Sealy products can be found in more than 7,000 retail locations across the U.S.

Tempur-Pedic
This is the company that is most often associated with the visco foam mattresses (visco would be the space aged material discussed in the commercials). These mattresses are made of 100% visco-elastic memory foam. This foam has a unique ability of responding not only to the shape of the body lying upon it, but the temperature also. This combination makes for a heavenly night of sleep. This company provides the Tempur-Pedic mattresses, beds, pillows, and mattress pad toppers to more than 60 countries around the world. These products are sold in retail locations as well as online.

Spring Air
The most advanced product at the moment offered by Spring Air is the Ovation, which is an adjustable base having Comfort Reach action. While the Ovation looks like a standard bed, it has the Comfort Reach Smooth Glide Action. The head and foot elevation that this bed offers is instrumental in relieving symptoms of poor blood circulation, nighttime heartburn, and backpressure. Additionally, Ovation offers a wireless remote control with programmable memory. This device is glow in the dark so that you might find it in the middle of the night and has a memory massage program that many find to be a very enjoyable feature.

Given the choices available to you, finding your perfect adjustable bed should be easier.

Best Mattress Reviews - Should You Choose a Serta Or a Simmons Mattress?

Serta and Simmons dominate the mattress market. Since Sealy takes the top spot quite frequently, these two companies fall neck on neck at the second and third spot. However, choosing a mattress is not all about picking the right brand. It takes a load off your mind to know that you are using a reliable brand but you also have to take everything in consideration.

Sealy Mattress Models

Here is the deal: when you shop for a mattress from either Serta or Simmons or any other mattress for that matter, you may be faced with a list of mattress names gibberish. If the name alone does not confuse you, I don't know what will.

Sealy Mattress Models

There are mattress shopping gurus out there that say these mattresses are just one and the same. They just change the name for anonymity's sake. This way you cannot compare the price of that same product model in other mattress stores. The truth is, most of them have the same kind of technology (or close to it) included in the mattress.

If you want to make the most of your money, scratch the Serta and Simmons comparison thing and go for the essentials of the mattress. Technically, Simmons has a better reputation when it comes to the durability of their mattress. But even this is not that absolute. There are also Serta products that have been making a trademark in the mattress industry.

If you must know, Serta has a bad reputation when it comes to customer service. That should clue you up on whether or not you will try their products. Remember that when you have already purchased your mattress, the customer sales representatives of the mattress company will be your new best friends. You need to know if you will have a shot of getting your money back or having a replacement mattress when something goes amiss with your mattress.

Simmons is a well-publicized and well-endorsed company. Their commercials are drilled in our heads. But let us cut the publicity and go straight to the essentials. There was a time when Simmons was bombarded with here and there sagging and mattress depression complaints with their beauty rest collection. Credits to them because they have integrated some new technologies that can get rid of this problem. But you still need to do your own research and find out if the mattress you want from them has more than good average satisfaction rating.

If 8 out of 10 people are not satisfied with either Serta or Simmons, chances are slim that you will also be satisfied with your purchase. Before sealing your purchase, do yourself a favor and look at the technology incorporated first and find out if it is really worth every cent you are going to pay for it.

What is an Insanely Comfortable, Soft Mattress?

Looking for a very comfortable and very soft mattress? There are a lot of these around. Simmons Mattress Company is purported to have the softest and the plushest mattress around. If you have seen that commercial of a bowling bowl dropped on a mattress, it is from this company.

Sealy Mattress Models

An innerspring mattress is usually softer than other types of mattress like air, latex and especially memory foam (these ones are usually very firm). The more innersprings integrated in the mattress, the softer it gets. This is because the springs integrated are not as thick.

Sealy Mattress Models

If you want an even softer mattress surface, you can always go for a wool fleece mattress pad. This will complete your craving for an ultra soft mattress. The key there is in the materials used. Pick those that are made form soft materials such as fleece, cotton and satin.

You might also want to go for water beds. Since water conforms seamlessly to body contours, it will surely have the softness you want. Another advantage to this mattress is that you can heat it up during winter so it is even more comfortable.

There is a point to ponder on though. While these mattresses may seem like the most comfortable mattress in the world, it is still not a good idea to solely rely on softness for comfort. In fact, most people who purchased a very soft bed could not sleep on it because it triggers the development of back aches.

Your back, especially your upper body needs more support. That means, it requires more mattress firmness on that area. Just a suggestion, instead of purchasing a plush bed, consider your body type and what your body really needs. Soft does not really equate to comfort in the mattress industry.

Opt for those beds with a combination of plushness and firmness just like talalay latex. It is a softer kind of latex mattress. This will give you a balanced firmness and softness. If you want to make it a lot softer as you are used to that kind of bed, you can always place a wool fleece pad on top of it.

This is a point you should consider before you buy a mattress. But whatever you do, make sure that it is really the right mattress that will address your body and sleep concerns. Consider comfort and support above everything else so you will end up with the best mattress.

Using an Air Bed As Your Main Bed

There are many benefits to owning an air bed. Most people think they are for use only when camping or if you have an extra guest over for the night. While this is the typical use of them, there are some who prefer to sleep every night on an air bed. Before you call them crazy, let's look into why this might actually be a viable method for some people to catch their nightly Z's.

Sealy Mattress Models

First of all, I know of no other bed which can be so adjustable to your exact comfort needs as an air bed. At least at this price range you won't find one. Yes, you can spend thousands of dollars on a Sealy Posturepedic or another type of mattress you see on late-night infomercials. I can't deny this but you can't deny that that is a costly way to go. It's nice to dream about but we all can't afford that expensive of a mattress.

Sealy Mattress Models

The fact is that an air bed can be blown up or deflated to the exact specifications that you have. If you want a very firm sleep, you can inflate it all the way so that it's like sleeping on wooden boards. Or if you like to sink down into your mattress you can just simply not blow it up all the way.

Can you do that with a regular mattress? No, I don't think so. However it comes from the manufacturer is how you're supposed to live with it. I've never quite understood how we're expected to get a good feel for a mattress just by lying on it in a crowded and busy mall. Half the time people find out that they've made the wrong decision only after they've brought it home and slept on it for a full night. This can be quite a costly and uncomfortable mistake.

While I believe that air beds are still most appropriate for occasional use, I definitely feel that for some they are the best daily mattress. Is this you? I don't know. Just ask yourself if you have enjoyed the nights' sleep you have gotten on an air bed in the past. If the answer is yes then this may be the best choice for your main bed. If it doesn't work out, well at least you haven't spent an arm and a leg finding that out. Plus, you can just recycle it into an occasionally used item.
