How to Find Your Comfort Preference
Discovering your comfort preference is important to help with sleep quality. The steps below will help with your bed selection.
Step 1: Get Prepared
It is best to be prepared before you head into store. Firstly, work out the ideal bed size for your room. Also, take along your pillow, so you can replicate your normal sleeping environment. You might like to consider wearing comfortable clothing as well. Once you are in-store, take a note of your preferred mattress choices. Think about your normal sleeping position and try to recreate this in-store. Keep in mind that side sleepers usually need a softer comfort level, while front and back sleepers are best to consider a medium or firm comfort feel.
Step 2: Try Them All
Be sure to try a mattress in each comfort level: plush, medium and firm. Spend a few minutes so you can get a feel for the differences. Take note of how comfortable you feel on each of them.
Step 3: Narrow Your Selection
Once you find the comfort level you like best, try a range of beds within this comfort level. Once you identify your favourite, be sure to ask a retail consultant for more details about the main features and benefits.
Step 4: 10 Minute Trial
When you have narrowed down your selection, it’s time to do a full comfort test. Lie down on your preferred bed for at least 10 minutes in your normal sleeping position, this will help you determine whether or not you have found your preferred comfort choice.
Keep in mind, if you are sharing this bed with your partner, it will be important to both test the beds. Then, you can find an option that will suit both of your needs.
