Mattresses: how to choose yours
Sleep Shop sells a line of luxury mattresses along with their bases, new in box:
- Luxury Mattress (Full) — $300
- Luxury Mattress (Queen) — $400
- Luxury Queen Mattress, 12 inches high — $450
- Luxury Mattress (King) — $500
The assistant will confirm the exact features of the model and size you are looking for during the call. In the meantime, here is what you need to know to choose correctly.
Size first, always
The mattress and the base must be exactly the same size: a Queen mattress (60 × 80) on a Full base (54 × 75) will be too narrow and too long. If you are buying both, choose the size once — the size guide will help you — and then the height.
The sum that matters: total height
Your finished bed measures base height + mattress thickness. Examples with models from the catalog:
- Low Queen base (from the height line) + 12-inch Queen mattress = a low, modern bed.
- 14-inch Queen base + 12-inch mattress = 26 inches total: hotel height, with moderate storage space underneath.
- 18-inch base + thick mattress = 30 inches or more: verify with the flat-feet test in Heights.
Firmness: the general idea
Without getting into brands, the rule of thumb used by sleep specialists is:
- You sleep on your side: a surface that gives a little at the shoulder and hip helps keep the spine straight.
- You sleep on your back: medium-firm support maintains the natural curve of the lower back.
- You sleep on your stomach: a firmer surface prevents the hips from sinking and arching the back.
- Couples with different preferences: negotiate in the middle, or go up in size to move less on top of each other.
This is general guidance, not a promise about any specific model: the exact firmness of each mattress in the catalog is confirmed by the assistant before ordering, and we expand on the topic in Health and rest.
When to change your mattress?
Classic signs: you wake up with a sore body more days than not, the mattress has a visible sag where you sleep, or it is over 7–10 years old. If your base is firm and level but you sleep poorly, the problem is usually the mattress; if the base flexes or makes noise, start with the base.
