Buying a new bed and mattress may be something that you have looked forward to but it can be a bit of a minefield. You need to know what sort of mattress you want as there is a huge selection on the market. You may decide to go to a bed shop to try out some mattresses but this can be tricky at present as some are not allowing you to sit / lie on them.

When researching mattresses, it is important to remember that they all use sales tactics so just because they say their mattress will offer you a great nights’ sleep, doesn’t mean it actually will.

It is important to try and find independent reviews and find a seller that offers a money back guarantee. Many of the larger mattress companies offer a 100-night returns policy, stating if you are not happy with your mattress during this time you can return it to them for a full refund.

Some mattresses are developed for people who sleep on their sides and others of those that sleep on their backs or fronts so check carefully as to who that particular mattress is recommend for.
