3 Things to Look for When Buying a Mattress

 

Shopping for a new mattress can feel overwhelming with so many options - spring, foam, hybrid, and latex. But the truth is, you don’t need to test every brand under the sun. Instead, focus on a few key indicators that reveal whether a mattress is truly high-quality and built to support you for years.

In this article (and video), we’ll share the three essential things to check when buying a mattress, so you can make a confident decision.

 

1. Edge Support

The edges of your mattress carry the most pressure—think about sitting down to tie your shoes or lying near the side of the bed. A quality mattress should hold its structure without collapsing.

Test it: Sit on the edge. If it collapses, it’s poor quality.
The Simply Dreams Advantage: Our Organic Latex Mattress offers excellent edge support, keeping you secure and supported from corner to corner.

 



2. Spring Poking Test

Nobody wants to feel springs digging into their body. Poor-quality spring mattresses often have weak padding that wears down, exposing hard coils underneath.

Test it: Place your knee on the edge. If you feel springs poking through, it’s a red flag.
The Simply Dreams Advantage: Our latex mattresses are 100% spring-free, giving you smooth, consistent support without pressure points.

 



3. Balanced Support & Pressure Relief

A good mattress should never feel like a trampoline (too much bounce) or a rock (too hard). The ideal mattress balances gentle contouring with firm support.

Test it: Lie down and notice how your body feels. You should feel pressure relief without sinking too deep.
The Simply Dreams Advantage: Our organic latex naturally contours to your body while staying supportive, so you get the best of both worlds.

 



Try It Risk-Free

Finding the right mattress shouldn’t feel like a gamble. That’s why Simply Dreams offers a 100-night sleep trial. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll adjust the firmness until it’s perfect for you.

 


 

Conclusion

When buying a mattress, don’t overcomplicate it—just remember to check:

  1. Edge support

  2. No springs poking through

  3. Balanced comfort with pressure relief

With these three checks, you’ll know whether a mattress is truly built for long-term comfort.
