Mattresses are long-term purchases that most households keep from 8-15 years; sometimes people keep them even longer despite studies showing you should replace them sooner. When the time comes for choosing a brand new mattress, it is crucial that your choice be able to suit your needs for the long haul. From price and level of support to the brand and the size, and there are many factors to consider. When trying to find a mattress size that will fit your lifestyle, here are just a few things to keep in mind:

Do you share your bed?

If sharing your bed with a partner, you should invest in a larger bed and mattress. One of the most common complaints amongst couples is being disturbed during sleep by their partner. You can reduce the chance of night-time disturbance by purchasing the largest mattress within your budget, ensuring a good night’s rest for both of you.

While our range of Sealy mattresses offer unparalleled comfort, it’s not just the quality of mattress that counts. Space to move is equally important if both partners are to enjoy a restful night of sleep. Queen size, or even a king size might make for a more comfortable experience than the standard double.

How tall are you?

Your height will have a bearing on the size of mattress you will need. Most mattresses are 80 inches long (or 6 foot, 8 inches), which is ideal for most people. For taller individuals, our Albuquerque mattress store stocks Tempur-Pedic mattresses in California King Size, which adds an extra four inches to the length, for seven full feet in total!

How much space do you have?

Buying the largest mattress you can afford is all well and good, but only if you have the space to fit it. Both the bed frame and the bedroom need to be taken into consideration. Don’t assume that a queen size mattress will automatically fit into a queen size frame, so take the time to measure the dimensions of both before making your purchase.

Remember, the bed frame will be slightly larger than the mattress it supports, and those few inches can make all the difference between accenting a room, and dominating it.
