When trying out the beds, avoid these common mistakes;

a.   Squeezing the bed with your hands
Never around the beds looking at the price tags and pushing the or squeezing mattress with your hands. The bed will not bite and neither will you sleep standing on your hands. Start lying down on the bed and your body will instant start talking to you.

b.   Legs on the bed please
Dont lay down on the mattress with your legs hanging over the side. Doing so will only create a strain on your back muscles and neither do you sleep this way. Your back will start hurting and you may blame the bed for the pain instead of the weird way you are lying.

c.    Wear Sandals
Avoid wearing shoes when you are going to test mattresses. Most companies will allow you to test the beds with your shoes remove. So it’s advisable to wear sandals or footwear that can slip in and out easily.

When testing the mattresses, focus on your body and the bed instead of how many people are staring at you. And lastly, be careful at how you get out of the bed as some beds may not be suitable for your body. Slowly roll over to the side and get up. This will prevent unnecessary back sprains.

3. Do some research
Once you have identified the beds that you like, you can start comparing prices and research on the types of materials they use. For example, if your kids are sleeping with you, spring mattress may not be the best option as your kids may wet the bed at night. Constant wetting can rust the springs in the long run, damaging your mattress.

4. Price Expectations
By know you will know more about the price. Don't expect a two hundred dollar mattress to last you ten years without collapsing. But once you find the right bed, look for companies that offer 1 or 2 year interest free instalments.
