How to Find the Best Mattress for You

Sleep doesn’t just boost your disposition and banish your crankiness and dark circles. It also promotes a healthy lifestyle and benefits your heart, weight and mind.

Of course, a good night’s rest is completely dependent on the mattress you sleep on. Here’s how to find the right mattress for you, so you can get the sleep you deserve.

1. Test it out in person

While it’s easy to order just about everything online these days, some things are better to try out in person. Stopping into a real mattress story and taking a quick catnap on the mattress can help you decide if it’s for your bed or not. If it’s too soft or too firm, or if your elbow sinks into it, simply move on to the next one until you find the one that’s just right.

To better your chances of finding your dream mattress, choose a local mattress store with a great selection. Buckeye Furniture Mattress Center in Lima, Ohio, for example, offers all of the best mattresses on the market today, including Serta.

“We strive to put together the finest mattress gallery in the area,” explains Daniel Platz, general manager. “We’ve been carrying Serta for more than 10 years, which has been the No. 1 brand recently. We always carry all the best sellers so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying your new bed.”

2. Go foam for backache

If you have back problems, Platz recommends investing in a memory foam mattress. It reduces pressure between the body and mattress and alleviates discomfort. If you are prone to sweating, go for a mattress made with latex. Some models are even made with a gel memory foam for a cooling sensation on aching muscles for extra relief and comfort.

3. Choose a double-sided model for resilience

Mattresses are an investment, so it’s important that you get the most out of your money. A double-sided mattress offers you the option to flip it over, which means it lasts longer and wears more evenly. Unfortunately, many modern brands don’t offer two-sided models, which is why Buckeye Furniture decided to make their own.

“We consulted our customers and found that double-sided mattress were in high demand,” Platz explains. “So we partnered with a manufacturing company to create our e2 mattress collection. It is more than a private label – most private labels you just put your name on the already-made product. We actually developed, designed hand-in-hand with a company in Cleveland.”

It takes special machines to make a double-sided mattress. Finding one was really a jewel, Platz says. The e2 mattresses are exclusive to Buckeye Furniture Mattress Center and come in two different tiers – the Grab-n-Go collection (starting at $399) and the Welcome Home collection (starting at $799).
