It's Time for a New Mattress When You're...	Waking up with tender/sore body Consistently getting a poor night’s sleep Sleeping better in places besides your bed
Things You Should Know Before Shopping	Be prepared Know what you want & need Consider your budget, living Style, and bedroom Size Research mattress types, styles and sizes Know what features you want in both your bed (ex: pillow top, memory foam, etc), bedding accessories (ex: high thread count, water proof mattress pad, etc), and bed frame.
Things to Keep in Mind While Bed Shopping	Purchase mattress and foundation together (the mattress usually has a particular box spring that accompanies it, as they are designed to work as one)  Look for comfort and support that best suits your body size and shape Try out all beds that interest you (get comfortable, position yourself on the bed as you do when you sleep) Seek out durability (high quality materials coupled with a well-crafted bed will last longer) Keep space in mind (be sure to give yourself and your partner enough room to move around comfortably)
Tips for a Good/Better Night’s Sleep	Sleep on a quality mattress and foundation Choose a pillow that supports and comforts your neck and spine Close blinds/cover windows and turn off any other light source Sleep in a quiet environment free from loud, intense sounds or use a fan or some other calming sound to mask unwanted noise Keep room at a comfortable temperature
