Mattress Reviews and Buying Guide:First, make sure you know what size mattress you need to buy. Do you need a king mattress, queen mattress, full mattress, twin mattress or futon mattress. Next, do you like a firm mattress, or perhaps one of the latest foam memory mattresses that are made of foam and form to your bodies contures. Comfort should be the #1 consideration so going to a mattress store and laying down on the mattresses is the best way to see if it's the right fit. Good back support from your mattress (since you are sleeping on it for 8 hours/night) is essential for good long-term posture. Tempur Pedic mattresses are considered the best for the money and offer the highest comfort levels (in a consumer reports survey). Make sure you shop at a reputable mattress store like Mattress Discounters, Mattress Warehouse, Giant Mattress, or Mattress World. A good mattress should have a warranty for 5-10 years and you should get 5 good years from any mattress before you may need to replace it.
Best Memory Foam Mattress:Visco-Elastic Memory Foam products have been regarded as one of the biggest breakthroughs in sleep technology in the past 25 years. These products have proven that a bed should not be hard, but yielding and pressure relieving and that the mattress you sleep on shouldn't force your body to conform to it- rather your mattress should conform to you. Tempur Pedic mattresses are the best memory foam mattresses on the market but many newcomers have the market rush to buy these memory foam mattresses and new models from Sleep Aid are now recognized as the leading name in memory foam. Is the most expensive foam the best, not necessarily. A memory foam mattress for a king bed should cost about $2400. Foam mattresses are available as either the "topper" or the full mattress. We recommend buying the full mattress which has several built in layers of foam versus just the "topper" which is just a layer of foam that rests on your mattress. Toppers should be at least 2 inches thick, preferably 5 inches. Density, is another factor to consider in a memory foam mattress. The most comfortable foam has a density between 3 to 5.5 lbs per cubic foot. Memory foam is temperature sensitive so when you lie down on the mattress, your pressure points are going to rest more heavily on the foam and the foam (acting on the increased heat) will become softer where you need it most.Top Rated Air Mattresses:AeroBed makes the best air mattress on the market. Air mattresses are great for camping trips or used as additional bedding for overnight guests. One thing to consider before buying an air mattress is the method used for inflating the thing. Larger air mattresses require lots of air for maximum comfort which means you will need to time and effort blowing the air mattress up. The cheapest models require the owner to use their own lung power as the inflation source while more expensive air mattresses have electric or manual air pumps for fast and efficient inflation. You should consider durability and construction of the mattress as well before purchasing. Plastics used to make air mattresses appear thin and weak but are actually quite strong. You really need to look at the quality of the welds which hold the mattress together. Some discounted mattresses may be inferior and fail along the seams leaving you with a repair. Some air mattresses are made of thicker plastic with a softer fabric coating on top for comfort. Whatever the material, a repair kit is always handy for fixing small punctures and leaks. Lastly, an air mattress should be cleanable and easily storable. An Aerobed inflatable Premier Classic Air Mattress with cover (Queen) cost around $150-$175. Air mattresses are convenient, portable, and add comfort to camping trips. The AeroBed is the top manufacturer in this product category with Coleman making a nice air mattress for outdoor purposes as well.
