If you&#;re on the hunt for a new mattress, you&#;ve probably seen plenty of ads discussing the latest sales. Before you visit a mattress store in Rockford, IL or Beloit, WI to find your new bed, there are several crucial questions you should ask to ensure you&#;re not only getting the best deal, but also the best possible mattress for your needs. Read on for a list of 10 questions every consumer should ask during a mattress sale.

1. How Firm or Soft Should My New Mattress Be?

When it comes to mattresses, the firmness level can have a huge impact on how well you sleep. Some people prefer a firm sleeping surface, while others like to &#;sink in&#; to their mattresses while they slumber.

If you sleep comfortably on your current mattress and it&#;s soft, look for a new mattress that&#;s also of the same firmness level. Think about the mattress you use now and if you feel like it could be firmer, consider buying one that&#;s a bit more firm than the one you sleep on.

Make sure you test out several mattresses to determine which firmness level works for you. Soft mattresses are comfortable, but they don&#;t always give your body the support it needs.

2. Which Material Should I Choose for a New Mattress?

When you visit a mattress sale, make sure that you understand the differences between the various mattress materials and types. Memory foam is a very popular choice, however, some people claim that it absorbs too much body heat which can make it difficult to stay cool at night.

An innerspring mattress is typically firmer than memory foam and works well for those who sleep on their stomach or sides. If you&#;re a &#;back sleeper,&#; memory foam should be a good option for you.

When in doubt, consider a hybrid mattress. These mattresses combine the support that comes with an innerspring coil mattress along with the softness of memory foam. Again, make sure you try each style out until you find the perfect feel for you.

3. Am I Sleeping with a Partner?

If you sleep with a partner each night, you can be interrupted by the other person getting in and out of bed. Look for mattresses that have little to no motion transfer, which means you won&#;t feel anything when your partner gets up for a midnight snack.

Mattresses that won&#;t wobble or bounce when your partner moves or gets out of bed ensures that you stay asleep no matter what. If you get interrupted sleep, it can make you feel groggy, fatigued, and grumpy the next day.

An adjustable bed is a good alternative to traditional mattresses if you have a sleeping partner. These beds often come in split designs so that each of you can control your own settings. It&#;s also a great way to prevent that transfer of motion whenever someone needs to get up during the night.

4. What&#;s My Sleeping Style?

If you deal with back, neck, or joint pain during the day, it could be because your mattress isn&#;t giving you the support you need. Different sleeping positions require varying levels of support to prevent this type of pain and discomfort.

If you&#;re a side sleeper, you need a mattress that can support your body and keep it aligned. Too much pressure on your shoulders or legs can make you feel extremely uncomfortable in the morning.

For stomach sleepers, a firm to medium-firm mattress is best. When you sleep, your body can start to sink into a soft mattress, putting extreme pressure on your neck and lower back.

Back sleepers can usually sleep on any type of mattress, so a soft memory foam option should be just fine. It really depends on your preference, but you can generally use anything ranging from sinking-in-soft to supportive, firm mattress styles.

5. Will the Mattress Sale Give Me the Best Price?

A quality mattress is a smart investment, but that doesn&#;t mean you have to spend a ton of your hard-earned money to reap the benefits. Most mattresses range greatly in price and can be anywhere from as little as a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.

Factors like brand names, features like adjustable positions, and extras like quilted pillow tops can increase the prices of your mattress. In order to save the most money, shop mattress sales during holidays like President&#;s Day, Memorial Day, or Labor Day. This is the time of year when most mattress stores offer their customers the best deals.

You don&#;t want to overpay, but you also don&#;t want to sacrifice on quality when it comes to your mattress. Do some price comparisons online before you head out so you know what to expect. Many mattress stores will offer to match the price of their competitors if you ask.

6. Does the Mattress Come with a Warranty?

You may not know that many mattresses include a warranty with every purchase. These warranties typically cover things like manufacturer&#;s defects or if the item itself is defective.

Some brands and stores are now offering a trial period where consumers can try the mattress in their homes for a set period of time. If you decide you&#;re not happy with your mattress within that time frame, you may be able to return it for a full refund.

Never remove the tag on your mattress, or else you will void the warranty. Ask your salesperson about which mattresses feature a warranty, and make sure you get all of the terms and conditions in writing.

7. Will My New Mattress Be Delivered?

If you shop at a mattress sale and decide to make a purchase, it&#;s important to make sure that you can get it to your home. Many mattress stores offer free delivery with any purchase as long as you live within a certain radius from the store&#;s location.

Free delivery will make your life a lot easier since you won&#;t have to worry about finding transportation for your new mattress. Keep in mind that most stores will not remove and/or dispose of your old mattress, so you&#;ll need to make plans for the other one on your own.

If the store doesn&#;t offer delivery, you may need to drive in a truck or van. Unless the mattress is compressed and in a box, and it can be unrolled and set up later, you will need something big enough to accommodate the mattress so you can get it into your home.

8. Is Financing Available?

Buying a new mattress can be expensive, and you may not have all of the cash available to purchase one at once. However, if your old mattress is causing you pain and you really need a new one, financing options may be available so you can buy a new mattress now and pay it off later.

Ask the mattress store if they offer special financing for customers. Some retailers will offer low or no interest rates for a set period so you won&#;t have to pay extra fees or other charges.

Make sure you understand all of the terms and conditions before you apply for the financing of your new mattress. If the store has a good program, it could be worth it to sign up so you can save.

We offer Affirm financing on our ecommerce storefront for most every mattress.   We also offer a few other great financing options to choose from instore.

9. How Much Should You Spend on a Mattress?

Since mattresses come in a wide range of price points, the answer to this question largely depends on your budget. If you don&#;t want to spend a lot of money, look for something that&#;s offered in a mid-price range. A mattress sale will help find the price you want.

If you spend too little on your mattress, you may not get the quality you need. That means you&#;ll end up having to replace your mattress much sooner than you may have hoped.

Of course, you also don&#;t need to spend thousands of dollars on a new mattress. Generally, anything from $800 to $1,800 or more indicates that you&#;re buying a high-quality mattress made to last.

10. What Kind of Accessories Do You need?

If you already have a bed frame, you can usually just place your new mattress on top. Depending on the type of bed you use, you might also need a supportive box spring.

Aside from the foundation of your mattress, consider other accessories like a mattress cover, new pillows, and bedding. Getting a fresh start will make your sleeping experience all the more pleasant.

A mattress protector is a great option, especially if dirty and allergies are a concern. You can also purchase a mattress topper to add a layer of softness and protection to your new mattress.

Whether you&#;re new to sharing a home with your partner or you&#;ve been sleeping in the same bed for years, mattress shopping as a couple can challenge your relationship. Many couples assume that they will end up with a bed that isn&#;t quite right for either of them or that one person will have to forego restful sleep for their partner. That&#;s not a sacrifice we think anyone should have to make. So, to help you and your partner make your dream of finding the perfect mattress a reality, we&#;ve gathered research-backed sleep insights so that you know what questions to ask when buying a dual firmness mattress to help you and your partner make the right choice.

There are several general questions to ask when buying a mattress before your purchase. As you consider each option as a couple, you and your partner will want to keep additional questions in mind. We&#;ll start with the general questions and then tackle the issues that are specific to couples.

General Questions to Ask When Mattress Shopping

Even when you&#;re an experienced mattress shopper, this process can be confusing. There are many, many mattress types and technologies, so cross-shopping is difficult at best. What&#;s more, most people have very different mattress needs from their partners, due to body type, medical conditions, sleep schedules and plain old comfort preferences. Feeling overwhelmed? We&#;ve got your back. Literally.

1. Who Can We Contact for Support After Our Purchase?

Before you even start shopping and asking specific mattress questions, make sure you know how this retailer takes care of their customers. Buying a mattress is a big commitment. You&#;re going to have questions or concerns as you set up and experience your mattress in real life. It&#;s important to know where to turn when this happens. If you have a question or concern after your new mattress arrives, is there someone who can help you? Who do you call&#;the retailer or the manufacturer? What kind of help can they give? Ask for names, addresses and numbers of contacts, and remember to ask the representative to be as specific as they can be. If you don&#;t get a clear answer, you&#;ll know that this mattress retailer may be difficult to reach if you have any problems with your purchase.

2. What Happens if We Sleep on the Mattress and It Isn&#;t a Good Fit?

This is one of the most important questions to ask when buying a mattress because traditional showroom mattress shopping isn&#;t what it&#;s cracked up to be. In a collaborative report by RTI International and Duke University, researchers found that the average 10-15 minutes people spend testing out a mattress in a showroom setting makes a person less likely to choose a mattress that gives them a restful night&#;s sleep than if they took home a random mattress. This is just one of the reasons you need to know which mattress questions to ask before you start shopping.

Researchers of the same Duke sleep study found that the key ingredient in a restful night&#;s sleep is catching Zs with little to no tossing and turning. Moving around at night is a sign that you&#;re not getting high-quality sleep and it stops your body from being able to rejuvenate. You know what we&#;re talking about&#;you wake up in the morning with a serious bedhead, a crick in your neck and the feeling that you were doing CrossFit in your sleep. And the day goes downhill from there.

In a traditional setting, it has been hard to find a mattress that melts you and your partner&#;s body into a deep, restful sleep. You each respond differently to firmness levels and mattress technology. A great night&#;s sleep for both of you is out there, but identifying the right mattress takes time and real-life experience, not to mention a great return or exchange policy. Some mattress brands and retailers will let you try the mattress for a no-risk trial period&#;like every one of the ground-breaking isense adjustable mattresses&#;so take advantage of that benefit.

3. What Is the Return, Exchange and Refund Policy?

Get a copy of the company&#;s return and refund policy&#;including who is responsible for transporting the mattress for repairs or returns. Do you pay and arrange for shipping or do they? You don&#;t want to be stuck with a damaged mattress and a company that says, &#;Sure, no problem. Just bring it on into the factory and we&#;ll take care of that for you.&#; If you or your partner work full time and don&#;t have the time or means to bring the mattress in during regular working hours, you&#;ll have a hard time getting the problem fixed.

4. What Are the Terms of the Warranty?

This is also a good time to ask about the terms of the warranty. The legalese in many warranties can be confusing, so don&#;t be shy about asking questions about the exact terms. Warrantees can often be voided if you don&#;t properly care for the mattress or fail to place it on the correct base, so understand what you need to do to ensure you&#;re protected.

5. How Do We Take Care of Our New Mattress?

Some mattresses have specific care instructions. Ask these technical mattress questions about the kind of maintenance the bed needs:

• Will we need a mattress protector?
• What is the recommended way to clean your new mattress?
• Are there specific instructions for moving mattresses?

The decorative handles on many mattresses are actually adjustment handles and aren&#;t meant for bearing the full weight of the mattress.

6. Is the Bed Adjustable if We Need Different Support in the Future?

For most brands, the answer is &#;no,&#; but for you to have confidence in your purchase, you should be able to adjust it after you get home, easily, any time you want. This is an especially important question to ask when buying a mattress because it turns out that there is no universal firmness level to reduce tossing and turning at night. Each person is different and what makes you sleep like a motionless rock (yes, in a good way) may make your partner spend all night moving around in restless sleep limbo.

Your mattress needs may change over time, too, depending on your lifestyle and other factors in your overall health. As a follow-up question, ask how easy it is to make these adjustments. Do you use a remote control or an app on your device, or do you have to use a control pad on the mattress?

Questions to Ask When Mattress Shopping as a Couple

Now that we&#;ve covered questions to ask the retailer, you need to know what questions to ask when buying a mattress when you&#;re ready to sign on the dotted line or click &#;complete order&#; from an online retailer. Let&#;s continue the list with a few more mattress questions just for you and your partner.

7. Do We Have Similar Sleep Needs?

You might not know the whole answer to this multifaceted question until you&#;ve shared a bed for a while, and that&#;s OK. It&#;s likely to change over time. By sleep needs, we mean the factors that lead you and your partner to have a comfortable and restful night&#;s sleep so that you&#;re energized and healthy every day.

• Does your partner roll back and forth restlessly when the bed is too soft?
• Do you need a mattress you can sink in to like a cloud?
• Does one of you experience seasonal joint pain and need to adjust the firmness depending on the weather conditions?

It&#;s very unlikely that you and your partner need the same sleep conditions to wake up rested. That&#;s not an insurmountable incompatibility&#;it just means you need a mattress both of you can personalize.

8. What Type of Mattress Do We Need?

This is another question to ask before buying a mattress that, unfortunately, gets overlooked by couples. Often times, we go straight for the comfort test without thinking about the technology behind what we need. But choosing a mattress based on you and your partner&#;s sleep needs comes down to selecting the right kind of mattress. These are the three most popular types of mattresses:

• Latex Mattresses: When you need an affordable and durable mattress, consider latex. Made from natural or synthetic rubber, latex mattresses give you great support and hold their shape after every night of sleep. They literally bounce back and can be an eco-friendly option.
• Memory Foam Mattresses: Raise your hand if you want your mattress to feel like a hug. That&#;s not cheesy&#;it&#;s restfulness. Memory foam is made from layering different densities of foam so that your body gets both support and plush comfort.
• Innerspring Mattresses: For several decades, mattresses have combined spring technology with layers of foam or cushioning. Because the coiled springs respond to your bodies&#; movements individually, innerspring mattresses like our isense Revive - Hybrid Premier mattress are a great choice for couples who need extra support.

9. What Changes in Sleep Needs Do We Expect Over the Life of This Mattress?

This mattress question might sound like it&#;s more for you than it is for the mattress itself, but it will influence how you see your new bed as a long-term investment. It&#;s time to have an authentic conversation about your lifestyle and health at this point.

• Do you expect your need for joint support to change?
• Are you or your partner planning to be pregnant in the next few years?
• Do either of you have a career that requires you to be on your feet for most of the workday (or sitting at a desk for hours at a time)?

All of these factors will affect your sleep quality over time&#;for better or worse.

Most mattresses are manufactured to last approximately 10 years, and you&#;ll want a mattress that can adjust with your life. So, even if you&#;re satisfied with your quality of sleep now, make sure you choose a brand that answers &#;Yes!&#; to question 6, because you have many more adventures ahead of you.

We&#;re confident that when it&#;s time to take this important step with your partner, you&#;ll get the answers you need from isense, the first and only mattress designed specifically for couples. Wherever you do your mattress shopping, we hope that knowing the key questions to ask when mattress shopping will help you put your comfort and quality of life first. Your happily ever after starts with a good night&#;s sleep every single night.
