To help take some of the confusion out of buying a new mattress, Cheap Mattress Reviews was founded to provide you with consumer reviews of all the leading mattresses available today.
We will help you find the best possible mattress to suit your needs at the best possible price. We do this by providing honest and accurate mattress reviews, buying guides, tips and articles that will cover all the leading mattress manufacturers such as Kingsdown, Jamison, Sealy, Simmons and many more…..
You can spend as little as $100 to as much as $3,000 on a leading brand memory foam mattress, and although this website is called ‘Cheap Mattress Reviews’, we review mattresses in every price range – this site is all about buying a mattress at the cheapest price possible.
While we can help you with information, unfortunately we can’t accompany you to the store when you go to make your purchase. You will need to do a little work yourself, so have a read through some of our reviews of Latex mattresses, memory foam mattresses, pillowtop mattresses, or Kingsdown mattresses to get an understanding of what to look out for.
Best mattress – How to choose the right one?
There is only one factor to consider when choosing a new mattress, and that is comfort. Whatever style or type of mattress you finally decide on, you should only be guided by how comfortable it is for you to sleep on…….Sure, price is always an issue, but it should never come before comfort.
To decide though, you first need to determine what features are most relevant to your needs. If you suffer from chronic back pain for example, an orthopedic mattress might be the best choice for you. If you are larger than the average build, a king size or California king mattress might a better option.
Personally I suffer from intermittent back problems that are sometimes worse when I wake up in the morning, what solved the problem for me was to buy a medium firm inner-sprung mattress with a high coil count. Within a week of buying my new mattress, my occasional back aches had disappeared for good.
What are the best mattress brands?
We are asked this question all the time, and it really depends on your own personal circumstances. You could argue that the Vividus mattress by Hastens is the finest mattress available, but costing in the region of $50,000 (no that’s not a typo
), it is well outside the range of 99% of the population……so we can hardly provide a cheap mattress review on that model!
Most of the leading manufacturers have ranges to suit most budgets, and they all have good points and bad. One of our aims with this site is to provide you with honest feedback on each of the best mattress reviews we bring you, and we promise to give you the good and bad about each model we review.
So unfortunately, without knowing you all personally, it is impossible to say what the best mattress is going to be, because there is a good chance that will be different for each and every one of you.
What are the best mattress types?
To make the right choice, you first need to start by understanding the different types of mattresses that are made.
Inner-sprung mattresses are by far the most popular type of mattress that is sold in America today. The design has been around for quite a while now, although it has been improve enormously since its initial introduction.
You will find from our innerspring mattress reviews that this type of mattress is constructed of spring coils, which support the body’s weight, covered in a variety of different padding materials and sometimes finished with luxury fabrics such as silk. Generally speaking, the quality of the mattress is governed by the thickness and number coils built in to the design. As a rule of thumb, the more springs a mattress has, the more comfortable it will be, although there are exceptions to this rule.
Memory foam mattresses have become increasingly popular in recent years, and some people say they have transformed their sleep quality. There are many different grades of foam mattress, and generally the more you pay the higher the quality of the mattress you get.
The best foam mattresses are made from natural latex rubber and adapt themselves to the contours of your body – many manufacturers also claim that their mattresses are hypoallergenic, which is important if you suffer from any form of allergy.
Mattress things to consider
There are a number of other things to consider before committing to buy:
- Robustness – A new mattress is a big investment, so you need to make sure that your new purchase will last. Part of that equation is down to how you take care of it after you’ve bought it, but the biggest factor in how long it will last is the quality of the materials used in its manufacture.
- Comfort – I keep stressing that comfort is the most important factor, and I make no apologies for repeating it here. It is vital that any mattress supports your body frame adequately, so make sure that you get one that provides lots of support around your head and neck, and in the pelvic region. These are the areas that will make the difference between you getting a good night’s sleep or not.
- Size – There are two things to consider when choosing the size of your mattress. Firstly you need to know the dimensions of your bedroom to ensure that your new bed will fit. Second, if you have the space in your room, you should never scrimp on the size of the mattress you buy. A king mattress will generally be more than big enough for most couples, and it is a great size if your children are in the habit of sharing your bed.
To help you choose the right size, here’s a handy mattress size chart:
| California King Size |
72″ x 84″ – (182cm x 213cm) |
| King Size |
76″ x 80″ – (198cm x 203cm) |
| Queen Size |
60″ x 80″ – (153cm x 203cm) |
| Full – Double Size |
54″ x 75″ – (137cm x 190cm) |
| Twin Size |
39″ x 75″ – (99cm x 190cm) |
Never forget that you will be sleeping on your new mattress for the next 10 years or so, so take your time making your decision. Use the cheap mattress reviews on this site, and don’t base that decision purely on price, because if the mattress is not comfortable as well, it will probably need replacing quite quickly.
