If you are waiting for the best time to buy a mattress you may be missing the point. Sure, if you keep shopping around you might save a few dollars but is it really worth it? Your body will tell you when it is the best time to buy a mattress. When you start waking up in the morning tired and sore, it is most likely time to consider replacing your mattress. And while a Knoxville mattress store may be filled with sales at certain times of the year, what is more important than the few dollars you might save is finding the right type of mattress to ensure a quick end to those aches and pains.
There are 7 different types of mattresses to choose from, and choosing the right one will depend on a lot of factors such as body types, how restless you are in bed, whether you sleep cool or hot, and generally what your preference is in terms of soft versus firm mattresses. Here are the 7 different types of mattresses you might find in your local Knoxville mattress store and how to determine which one is right for you.
Innerspring Mattresses
Considered the traditional mattress, innerspring mattresses have been around since the 19th century. They are frequently the least expensive mattresses. Some people still find they prefer innerspring mattresses which provide plenty of support. Innerspring mattresses tend to transfer more movement than other types of beds, which may be a consideration if you share your bed with a partner.
Pocketed Coil Mattress
Pocketed coil mattresses are similar to innerspring except that each coil is individually wrapped in fabric and works independently from other coils. This type of mattress provides similar support to innerspring, but it conforms to the contours of the body better and does not transfer as much movement.
Memory Foam
Mattress stores in Knoxville, TN first started carrying memory foam mattresses in the 1990’s under the name Tempur-Pedic. Memory foam is higher in cost than traditional mattresses but is well known for the support it offers. This unique material molds to the shape of the sleeper and helps to distribute their weight, taking pressure off certain areas of the body. This type of mattress is a favorite for those with back and joint pain, but some people find it too hot and those that tend to be restless may not appreciate the effort it takes to move at night.
Hybrid Mattresses
Our Knoxville Mattress store offers hybrid mattresses such as the one from Sealy Posturpedic that offers the best of both worlds. Memory foam top offers the conforming comfort and cooling people love about memory foam mattresses and the pocket coils in the second layer offer more support for the entire body.
Latex Mattresses
Latex offers many of the benefits of memory foam without some of the drawbacks that people complain about. Like memory foam latex conforms to your body, but it has more spring so movement is easier. Latex also sleeps cooler than memory foam making it much more comfortable. Latex mattresses are some of the more expensive mattresses in Knoxville, but they make up for it by being some of the most comfortable and cool mattresses available.
Gel Mattresses
Gel foam sleeps very cool and eliminates motion transfer. It conforms similarly to latex and memory foam, offering good support and comfort. Gel can be one of the more affordable beds available at our Knoxville mattress store.
Adjustable Beds
Mattress stores in Knoxville, TN also carry a line of adjustable beds that allow you to elevate your head and your feet independently based on what you find to be the most comfortable. They are excellent for those needing added elevation for whatever reason. Adjustable beds are usually sold separately from mattresses. The mattress experts at our Knoxville, TN mattress store can help you pair the right mattress with your adjustable bed.
