Is your mattress more of a nightmare than a dream? Whether it’s gotten lumpy, sinks in the middle or just isn’t as comfortable as it once was, there’s no better time to grab a new one.
If you’re looking to save some cash, the Labor Day mattress sales are where it's at. And there are tons of deep discounts from top-notch brands, including Casper, Bear, Purple, Nectar, Leesa, Tempur-Pedic and more.
Shopping for a mattress online just makes sense — especially these days. It's just more comfortable and safe to grab a new mattress online. Been thinking about getting a new mattress but aren't sure if you need one? There are a few key signs that it's time for an upgrade, Dr. Christopher Winter of Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine, and author of the book, The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How to Fix It, tells Yahoo Life.
You’re restless at night. “A lot of times, pain or discomfort makes you move a lot to try to get comfortable,” Winter says. If you're not sure if you're a night-time mover, he recommends checking out the status of your sheets in the morning. If they're bunched up or twisted, the odds are high that you were tossing and turning at night.
You’re sore in the morning. The wrong mattress can put pressure on your hips, shoulders and knees, leaving you feeling stiff and sore in the morning, Winter says. “Soreness is a great way to find out if your mattress is supporting you the right way,” he says.
You overheat at night. If you keep waking up drenched in sweat, your mattress could be to blame. “Some mattresses that offer more support can sometimes make you feel hot,” Winter says. “Sweating in bed is a big thing people often put up with, but they shouldn’t.”
Ready to take the plunge? Go for something on the firmer end. "A mattress should be medium-firm," Dr. Vinita Mathew, a physiatrist at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, tells Yahoo Life, noting that those that are too firm or too soft are "inferior" to those in the medium-firm range. Medium-firm mattresses can also help reduce chronic lower back and leg pain, she says, making this a good choice if you tend to struggle with those health issues.
Just a heads up, though: It can take a little while for your body to adjust to a new mattress. "It may take a minimum of 30 days to soften a new mattress and for it to adjust to your sleeping positions," Mathew says. However, most online mattress companies have liberal return policies, so the process is super easy if you eventually find that you and your chosen mattress aren't a good fit.
Whether it’s memory foam, spring or a hybrid you’re seeking, you can get a high-quality mattress you’ll look forward to snoozing on each and every night.
