Mattress Buying Guide: How to Pick the Right Mattress

A good mattress makes a big difference in how you feel every day. Here's how to find the right one.

Know your sleep position

  • Side sleepers: usually prefer a softer to medium feel that cushions shoulders and hips.
  • Back sleepers: often like medium to medium-firm support.
  • Stomach sleepers: typically need a firmer mattress to keep the spine aligned.

Mattress types

  • Memory foam: contouring comfort and motion isolation.
  • Innerspring: bouncy, classic feel with good airflow.
  • Hybrid: coils plus foam layers for support and comfort.

Choose the right size

Twin and full sizes are great for kids and guest rooms; queen is the most popular for couples; king and California king give the most room.
