When the time comes for you to visit your local Knoxville mattress store in search of the perfect new mattress, do you know what to look for? It’s a simple fact that most people who visit a mattress shop simply don’t know what they should be looking for and end up with whatever mattress the salesperson guides them towards buying.

At Bed’r Mattress, we believe in doing our best to educate our customers. Our goal is to ensure that when you leave our mattress shop, you have the best possible mattress for your specific needs. Here are five ways our sleep experts help you select the perfect mattress.

How Do You Sleep?

The sales person in our Knoxville mattress store will start out talking to you about how you sleep. Not just how well you sleep, but more importantly, what positions you and your partner tend to sleep in. The reason for this is that different mattresses are designed to support you based on the position you sleep in.  For example:

  •        Side Sleepers: a very soft to medium mattress is going to provide you with the best support.
  •         Stomach Sleepers: a soft to medium firm mattress will be a better choice.
  •         Back: a medium to medium firm mattress is the perfect choice.

Your Budget

While your budget should never be the only deciding factor when buying a mattress, it definitely plays a role in your final decision. In our mattress shop, we will talk to you about price, but you will find we have the best prices on brands like Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns and Foster, and of course our own Bed’r Mattress brand. Keep in mind: higher prices do not always mean better quality.

Explain the Different Materials

With so many different materials being used in the construction of the mattresses in our Knoxville mattress store, our sales team will explain each of them to you. They will go over the materials, the advantages and disadvantages of each. They will also listen to your personal preferences and guide you towards a mattress that best fits with your tastes, needs, and budget.

Your Weight May Affect Your Choice

You might feel a little put out at first when the salesperson in our mattress shop asks about your weight and that of your significant other. Yet this is a very important factor in your search for a new mattress. Not only does your sleeping position have an impact on the firmness of the mattress you choose, so, too, does the amount of weight the mattress must support. The more weight the mattress must support, the firmer it will need to be.

Comparison Shopping In House

While you are in our Knoxville mattress store, we encourage you to test drive any of the mattresses you are interested in. To shop for a mattress, you should be wearing loose fitting clothing and be prepared to spend 5 to 10 minutes test-“sleeping” on each mattress you are interested in. Try laying in different positions, especially the one you prefer to sleep on.

At Bed’r Mattress, your Knoxville mattress store, we have only one goal in mind: to sell you the perfect mattress. To ensure you are happy with your purchase, we offer a 100-day test drive. If for any reason you are not happy with your mattress within this time, we will happily replace your mattress with another one from our mattress shop.
