5 Tips to Buy a Mattress You're Not Planning to Sleep On
Here are a few things to consider if you're buying a mattress for someone else:
1. Familiarize yourself with how they sleep.
There are many variables that go into mattress buying, so set yourself up for success by doing some research on your recipient's sleep preferences before heading into the store. Do they sleep on their stomach or their back? Are they used to a firm mattress or a soft one? Knowing as much as you can about his or her favorite sleep positions, preferred firmness and ideal size will help you narrow down the options and leave your loved one with the perfect mattress.
If you're using this mattress to upgrade your guest bed, it is best to find a mattress that fits all sleep types. This way, your guest bedroom is comfortable for anyone who stops by for a visit. Purchasing a firm mattress, such as the Beautyrest Greenwood will provide your guests with enough comfort and support to keep them sleeping soundly.
2. Ask an expert.
Once you get in the store, be sure to share everything you know about your loved one's sleep preferences. Mattress Firm's salespeople are experts when it comes to understanding your sleep needs, and all are trained to help you find the mattress that meets your needs — or the needs of your loved one. They can easily guide you in the right direction and help you decide which is the best bed to buy.
3. Test it yourself.
Your loved one isn't there to test the mattress for themselves, so you get the pleasure of doing it for them! Keep in mind all of their sleep preferences you might be aware of as you lay on the different options, and put yourself in your loved one's shoes to see which mattress you think they would enjoy most. If you don't know much about their sleep preferences, default to the “Goldilocks Test." Try the different mattresses out and go with one that's not too firm or too soft.
A good in-between for either your guest bedroom or a loved one, is the Beautyrest BR800 12" Medium mattress. With a luxury firm pillow top, this mattress provides a unique feel that is both soft and supportive. Try this and similar options in-store today!
