Some tips for buying a mattress:
1. | Pick a size. |
Are you buying a mattress on its own or as a set? Think what you'll be using the mattress for in future years. Plan ahead for partners, pets, kids, etc. Simmons® mattresses come in a variety of sizes. The following are our most common: |
|
Single: 91 cm x 183/190 cm (36” x 72”/ 75”) Large Single: 122 cm x 183/190 cm (48” x 72”/75”) Double: 135 cm x 183/190 cm (54” x 72”/75”) Queen: 152 cm x 190/198 cm (60” x 75”/ 78”) King: 183 cm x 198 cm (72” x 78”) |

2. | Choose a comfort level. |
Basically, you want a well-built mattress that gives you both great support and good value for your money. A good, strong coil support system will help your back. | |
3. | Keep your height and weight in mind. If your height and weight are average, you'll have an easier time determining your desired firmness. |
4. | Suffer from back pain? Be sure to pay a little more for a better quality mattress. Your doctor can advise you. |
5. | Do you sleep on your back or your side? Many people say their mattresses feel firmer when they sleep on their side. Do the same when you test out a mattress in the store. And spend some time on various mattresses to see which one suits you best. |
6. | Think about how much you want to spend. Buying a decent mattress is like buying a decent sound system. A higher quality mattress is usually bought at a higher price. However, price isn't everything. Focus on the models that suit your needs best. |
