Experts recommend that we change our mattresses every 10 to 15 years. Mattresses can accumulate germs and dust mites that trigger allergies, and after a while they simply don't support us adequately as our bodies change. Orthopedic surgeons tell us that the right mattress should support your body in a neutral position where your spine has a slight curve. Your shoulders, head, heels and buttocks should be aligned properly. A mattress that is too firm or too soft can take you out of alignment and cause aches and pains when you awake. A good night's sleep can help protect people from serious illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.


If you are in the market for a new mattress, here are some tips for choosing the right one to get the rest you need.

Choose the Right Size


Ashley Furniture California King Mattress


Mattresses come in a wide range of sizes, from narrow twin and bunk bed sizes to full, queen and king. California king mattresses measure 71" w x 15" h x 83" d to accommodate a person with a larger frame. If you are replacing your mattress, the size you choose depends on the size of the headboard and the bed frame.

Innerspring mattresses are the most common mattress type by far, where each coil is enclosed individually to prevent them to pop out of the mattress. There are many materials on the market that are added on top of the coils, including latex, memory foam and air mattresses, and in some cases a pillowtop for softness. A count of 390 coils or above is recommended. Innerspring mattresses have a range of firmness and come in a range of price points.

Consider an Adjustable Bed


Adjustable beds bend and elevate at various angles. To accommodate this feature, a mattress must be suitable for an adjustable bed. Spring mattresses are not particularly good for adjustable beds, but foam, latex and air mattresses can work. Adjustable beds are a good choice for people who have sleep apnea, have acid reflux or suffer from hip or back pain. They are also appropriate for people who find it difficult moving from a prone position to a sitting or standing position.
