Mattress Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Bed

A good mattress is one of the best investments you can make in your health - you spend a third of your life on it. Our team at DFW Furniture Warehouse in San Leandro put together this quick guide to help you choose with confidence.

Match firmness to how you sleep

• Side sleepers - softer to medium, to cushion shoulders and hips.
• Back sleepers - medium-firm for balanced support.
• Stomach sleepers - firmer, to keep the spine aligned.

Know the mattress types

• Innerspring - bouncy and breathable, classic support.
• Memory foam - contours to your body and isolates motion - great if a partner moves at night.
• Hybrid - coils plus foam for the best of both: support and pressure relief.

Get the size right

Twin and full suit kids and guest rooms; queen is the most popular for couples; king and California king give couples (and pets) extra room. Measure your bedroom and leave space to walk around the bed.

Do not forget the foundation

The right box spring or platform base protects your mattress and can be required to keep the warranty valid. Ask our team which base pairs with the mattress you choose.
