There are a number of things that every bed shopper needs to consider before we make our purchase. Let’s start with one of the biggest problems that consumers face.
It’s normal be to overwhelmed
As you’ve probably realised by now, buying a new mattress is one of the most difficult and confusing purchases you will make. With an endless number of retailers, products and prices, it’s totally normal to be overwhelmed by choice.
Just check out below how many major Australian bedding retailers there are to choose from! Keep in mind that this does not even include all of the online ‘mattress in a box‘ options that are now available.
Price
As well as navigating through all of the different retailers, you will also need to consider how much money you should spend on a new mattress.
Generally speaking, you can get a very good mattress for between $1,000 – $2,000 (queen size). Having said that, this is a general guide and the right mattress will depend on your individual needs and your life situation.
There are also some outstanding products in the $2,000 – $3,000 range, but our team does not believe you have to spend much more than this to get a great mattress. You can read more about pricing here.
Comfort
Based on a recent Bedbuyer survey of over 1,000 people, comfort was (by far) the most important factor that people considered before buying a new mattress.
Comfort relates to how ‘pleasurable’ the mattress surface feels to lie on, and how effortlessly the comfort layers absorb body weight. When assessing comfort, make sure you consider this in all sleeping position/s relevant to you.
Spinal support
How a mattress supports the spine is also critical in your selection process. If your back is not supported correctly during sleep, this can lead to back pain, muscle tightness, and restless sleep.
A good mattress will maintain a good spinal position throughout the night, without any sagging or dipping. As you would expect, this will help to keep your spine healthy and well rested.
Quality and durability
Quality and durability are difficult things for a customer to assess, but as a general rule, innerspring mattresses (e.g. Yinahla Classic Comfort) will be more durable than foam mattresses (e.g. Ecosa Mattress). Ultimately, it is the foam components of a mattress that degrade over time.
Most mattresses should last 7 – 10 years, but understandably, this will vary depending on the quality of the product and how much use the mattress gets.
Warranties
Almost all retail store mattresses will come with a warranty that should cover any major defects. Some warranties will require certain bed bases for the warranty to be valid, so make sure you check the details of the product warranty before buying.
It’s worth noting that warranties won’t usually cover you if you decide on the ‘wrong product’ (e.g. too firm or too soft). This emphasises the importance of taking your time when when making your selection in-store.
A typical length of warranty for a mattress over $1,000 is 10 years.
