Mattress Myths from Consumer Reports

Here are some more items I found interesting from Consumer Reports:
If you move in your sleep, the bed is to blame. Turning is normal; it’s a problem only if it disrupts your sleep. The mattress may or may not be at fault.
A mattress should be used until it sags. Changes in the human body tend to make a mattress less comfortable long before it wears out.
You must include a box spring, to save the warranty. Despite sales pressure to buy both mattress and foundation, it’s not always required. Check with the store or company. You may be able to keep your old box spring, if it’s in good shape.
Warranties cover a sagging mattress. Manufacturers say a mattress can compress by as much as 1 1/2 inches before it’s considered defective.
Firmer is better. The best bed is the one that’s most comfortable to you. Medical experts Consumer Reports interviewed say there have been no well-controlled studies to indicate the best firmness overall.

Price Increase on Chineese Steel

Steel prices in China are increasing about 17%, which, among other things, will increase the cost of bed frames. We expect mattress stores who've included a bed frame in the cost of their mattresses to begin charging for bed frames to offset this increase. Well made bed frames typically sell for $35 - $70.

Mattress Buying Tips

Consumer Reports editors found that you can determine the long-term comfort of a particular mattress by trying the mattress in the store for 15 minutes. They suggest you lay on the bed in your typical sleeping positions; side sleepers shouldn't lay on their backs while testing the mattress, do just as you would at home.
