It costs a lot of money, it will change the way you sleep (and live) and it comes in hundreds of models and brands. No wonder choosing the best mattress sounds like mission impossible. Water, inner spring, air, latex, feather, organic, magnetic memory foam mattresses - they all look and sound very good in the show rooms. But which of them is the best for you$%:
What you need right now is a list with the most important criteria in evaluating your candidates. These are the top 5 sleep tips you must consider when comparing two or several mattresses that you placed in your wish list.
Allergy potential
Latest news:
No matter what the manufacturers may promise you, remember that there are no allergy-free mattresses readily available (except for the ones manufactured especially for people suffering from allergies). There are mattresses with lower allergy potential (like the waterbed, for example), but most of them can host dust mites, even if they are not a food source in itself, nor do they promote nesting. Memory foam and latex are no exception. The only way to prevent allergy-provoking mites in most mattresses is to use dust-mite resistant encasings and covers.
Major Known Benefits
The most important benefits that you should seek in a mattress are good back support and spinal alignment, pressure relief, long life span, ironclad warranty, maneuverability and other special features that make that mattress perfect for you (for example, viscoelastic foam mattresses offer a unique quality: heat responsiveness, which means the memory foam reacts to your body temperature and contours your body).

Major Known Drawbacks
The things that should deter you from buying a certain mattress are bad consumer references, lack of warranties, short life span, medical contraindications, allergy potential, maintenance and cleaning requirements, possible breakdowns (for example, an air mattress remote control can malfunction, not allowing you to control the firmness of your side of the bed).
Before we go ahead and talk about the other mattress comparing criteria, find out why in-store tryouts are irrelevant for deciding .
General Consumer Opinion
This is probably the best guide for finding out the real deal about all products on the market. There are lots of independent consumer review sites - don't trust the testimonials on the manufacturers' official sites, they are 99% tailored to present the bright side of the respective products. The more reviews (positive or negative), the better. The total lack of reviews on a certain product means lack of popularity, which leads us to the last (but not least) tip on our list...
History and Popularity
A traditional type of mattress still appreciated by the 21st century customer clearly deserves your attention. For example, waterbeds are still extremely popular after 40 years, while inner spring beds have lost their buzz ever since latex and memory foam mattresses were introduced to the public eye.
