HOW TO: Shop for a mattress
What you like in a mattress is as unique as you are! Because a mattress is a major purchase, it might feel overwhelming to shop for. Don’t panic! There are several steps you can take to set yourself up for success — and ultimately a better night’s rest — by doing a little research before you start shopping, and once you’re at the store comparing your options.
Follow these simple suggestions for how to select the mattress of your dreams!
Dollars and sense.
Before you research your mattress options, determine your budget and consider your personal needs. A mattress is an investment in your health and well-being. Remember— you spend a third of your life in bed!
Do your homework.
Research your options before you go to a store, narrowing down the mattress size and mattress type that suits your individual needs. Think back to a time when you had an amazing sleep at a hotel or friend’s house. Use that as your starting point to help narrow down choices.

Buy a two-sided innerspring mattress or pillow top mattress.
All Jordan innerspring mattresses can be flipped completely over, not just turned from side to side. One-sided or “no flip” mattresses save mattress manufacturers money but do not hold up in the long run. Remember — two sides last longer than one.
Go for a test drive.
Once you’ve found a few mattresses you’re interested in, try them out using the S.L.E.E.P. test. Take off your shoes and lie down in various positions. (It’s best to go mattress shopping in comfortable pants so you can move around.)
Get comfy.
While testing out a mattress, spend extra time in the position you usually sleep in. It can take up to 15 minutes to relax enough to feel the true support of a mattress, so don’t rush it. The more time you take in a store, the less likely you’ll have buyer’s remorse later.
Take the S.L.E.E.P. Test.
To try out a mattress, follow the S.L.E.E.P. steps:
Select a mattress.
Lie down in your typical sleep position. Evaluate the level of comfort and support.
Educate yourself about each selection.
