Pick the Right Mattress for Your Sleeping Style

Believe it or not, there’s more to picking the ideal mattress than a soft “ride” with firm support at the center. Also take into consideration the way you normally lie on your bed. Different mattresses have their relative strengths and weaknesses depending on if you prefer sleeping on your back, side, or stomach. That’s why Best Buy Furniture’s mattress store keeps a wide variety of constructions and materials available in-store and available to order. No two sleepers are exactly alike. So after you’ve read this overview on sleep posture and its impact on your mattress choice, stop by our store to test-drive a few hybrid mattresses yourself!

Medium Firm Mattress for Back Sleepers

If you’re sleeping flopped out on your back, congratulations! You may not win a cash prize for it, but you are the easiest person to get a mattress for, the sleep experts say. Celebrate your good fortune by investing soundly in a medium-firm mattress in your choice of size. Even our most basic, inexpensive innerspring mattress will do the job if you don’t jump on it (your mom was right) and if you turn it over regularly and replace it every decade. The trick to the right mattress for you is to make sure your spine’s lower indentation, the lumbar curve, is ably supported. We especially suggest you consider a medium-firm mattress made with pocketed coils, a slight expense well worth it, and a firm foam core.

Super-Soft Mattress for Side Sleepers

Okay, you know who you are: you like sleeping on one side! Maybe your sinuses stay open better that way or it just feels good. Well, you’ve got a challenge in picking a good mattress for you. Sleep experts say this position is the hardest for even the best mattresses to adjust to. But don’t despair. There IS a sleep solution for you at Best Buy. Check out our selection of extra-soft latex foam mattresses. These are especially forgiving to the sharp angles such as your elbow that a side sleeper digs into the mattress.

Extra Firm Mattress for Stomach Sleepers

Maybe you’ve slept face down all your life. The trouble with this sleep preference is you’re more liable to suffer back pain. Achy pressure points are another problem you have to factor in when buying your next mattress. That’s why you should opt for something super-firm. Look for tough steel springs and/or high-density foam core mattresses to best suit your posture in bed.

No matter your preferred sleep position, our Philadelphia,PA store has a mattress for you!

Which Size Mattress Should You Share?

No matter if you prefer sprawling or spooning, there are a number of mattresses that will please you and your partner. First and foremost when shopping for a mattress, which you should do ever 10 years to stay healthy, is SUPPORT. Your bed needs a good foundation to completely take over from your muscles to let you rest, and accommodate your partner’s needs and preferences as well. Does he or she need a Euro top for extra softness to easily fall asleep? Second comes COMFORT of course, such as a pillowy feeling to sink into while the firm mattress below does its job.

Cozy Full Mattresses for Extra Closeness

It may so happen that you and a partner’s sleep needs are perfectly in sync, and neither of you are “hot sleepers” giving off excess heat when at rest. If you are among those so fortunate, then a full-size mattress is ideal for snuggling! One thing to consider, however, are your heights; full mattresses are best if you’re both at most 5 feet 5 inches tall.

More Than One Mattress Solution for Motion Issues

Of course you want to sleep with your significant other but it’s often a tradeoff: people who snooze together report 50% more interruptions to their rest than those who don’t. If you share your mattress and one of you gets out of bed a lot during the night, you work different shifts, or one or both of you move a lot in your sleep, there is more than one mattress solution to keep both partners happy and help the relationship! There is the drastic solution of two twin or full beds, which isn’t just something you see in old movies: about 1 in 4 American couples go this route. But before you do that, sacrificing the closeness that builds your relationship, we’d like to tell you about the latest in gel-infused memory foam mattresses. These fine lab-developed items not only give your tired body a comfortable “ride” and diffuse excess body heat. They also maximally absorb your motion so your partner remains peacefully asleep! Of course if you need extra room to stretch out on top of that, go for a king mattress. But if square footage in your bedroom prevents that, not to worry. America’s favorite size is the queenmattress. With this state-of-the-art polymer technology, your new mattress will give you the sleep you need to be on top of your game AND ramp up your love life!

Whichever size mattress you prefer, you’ll find it among the top brands available at Best Buy Furniture & Mattress in our Philadelphia,PA area stores!
