Are you sleeping on a lumpy mattress? If so, you could be jeopardizing your health. Lack of sleep can make you prone to a variety of illnesses, so why take chances? You probably spent a lot of time selecting the bed you sleep on so why not spend as much time looking for the right mattress?

Think about it. If you are waking up feeling tired or with an aching back it very well could be because of your mattress. It pays to treat your body kindly with a new mattress.

When you go mattress shopping it helps to have a plan and know what you're looking for. Follow these suggestions and you're be fine.

First off, only select from mattress that have quality construction. This will ensure your mattress serves you well for many years to come. A good mattress starts with a good foundation. Look for one that has steel reinforced springs.

Mattresses are built with coils to support your body when you sleep on it. When you're purchasing a new mattress there are certain things to look for in a coil. For example, mattresses with a higher number of coils will generally provide a more supportive night's rest.

It's not hard to do the math. If you buy a mattress with 300 coils you will have considerably less support than if you purchase one with 700 coils. Generally, the higher the coil count the firmer the mattress.

Also, take into consideration the gauge of the mattress coils. This is the number of coils in an inch. You'll find that mattresses with heavy coils will give you the best support. Light gauge coils will give you less support and tend to be lumpy. You should also be aware that the wires found between the coils matter. A good mattress will have more connecting wires between coils.

Better mattresses companies will also offer styles with "pillow tops" These provide luxurious comfort to the sleeper and provide deluxe support.
