Avoid These Common Mistakes When Buying a Mattress Online

Online shopping has certainly made our lives easier, but there is that skeptic in all of us who doesn't believe in shopping for a mattress online. Why? Because you need to feel the mattress, you need to do your research and ask as many questions to the salesperson before you finally spend the money on something as important as a mattress. 

But there are a whole lot of people who like to buy mattresses online and have the best mattress. So what have they done to get the best mattress, and you, on the other hand, are doubting? Their secret is avoiding certain common mistakes that we will discuss in this article. If you are looking for the best mattress in UAE, then to buy mattress online can be a great option for you. Here are the things you must avoid to get to your best mattress for sleeping. 

1. Ignoring Your Sleeping Needs: If today one mattress is claimed to be the best mattress in the UAE, that doesn't mean that it is the one meant for you. Your sleeping needs, which involve your sleeping position, your body weight, and your spinal health situation, all come to play. While a mattress may be termed as a comfort mattress, or premium or luxury, what you need is an orthopedic one, then that is what you should get for yourself. Check the firmness, what goes inside the mattress, how the layering of the various foams is done, the warranty and only then you should consider buying the mattress.
    
   
2. Overlooking Mattress Firmness and Comfort Levels: There is a reason why comfort mattresses come in varying degrees of firmness levels. The number one reason is catering to sleeping positions. While the stomach sleepers and people with severe back health issues benefit the most from a firm feel mattress, side sleepers, on the other hand, should sleep on a soft feel mattress for better body contouring. Back sleepers, on the other hand, should use a medium-firm feel mattress for sleeping, as it gives the right balance of spinal support and body contouring.
   
   
3. Not Checking Size and Room Compatibility: Size compatibility can be determined by two things: the size of the bed frame that already exists and the size of the room ratio to the bed. If you already have the bed frame, then all you need to do is measure your frame correctly, and then you can place the order for your mattress. If a frame is something you’ll buy after the mattress, then you must follow the 1:3 ratio formula. The size of the mattress should be one-third of the size of the room. This makes space for your other essentials and leaves room to move around.
   
   
4. Focusing Only on Price: This is the biggest mistake that people often commit while buying a mattress. Mattress buying is not an expenditure but an investment in sleep, spinal health, and overall well-being. Before buying a mattress for sleeping, one should list out all the things you want in a mattress, like firmness level, type of foam, size, loftiness, and warranty. Then find the best comfort mattress that caters to those needs, and allocate the budget to that mattress. This is “going expensive to go cheap”. A cheaper mattress might last you only for a few years. But investing in a good quality, expensive mattress will last you a generation.
   
   
5. Skipping Policy Details: Many buyers forget to read the return, exchange, and warranty policies before they buy a mattress online. That’s how they get stuck with the mattress. A good and reliable mattress brand that has built its name over the years provides an easy exchange and return policy along with a good warranty period. But as a buyer, it is important to read these policy details before making the purchase. It's an intelligent thing to do, not just before you buy a mattress online, but also with anything that’ll stay with you long term.
   
   
6. Ignoring Climate Considerations: To buy a mattress in Dubai and not care about the climatic conditions is inviting sleepless nights drenched in sweat from the summer heat. Modern comfort mattresses come with what is called a heat regulation system. The foams that make up the various layers of these mattresses are designed in a way that it dissipates heat. This facilitates airflow throughout the mattress that keeps it cool throughout the night. Check for this particular specification before you buy a mattress online.
   
   
7. Relying Blindly on Reviews: While reviews can be helpful in getting you to the best mattress in the UAE, there is only so much that online reviews can do for you. Everyone’s body and comfort preferences are different. Instead of looking only at star ratings, read reviews that mention sleep position, firmness preference, and long-term usage. Look for specific keywords that align with your sleeping needs. They can be - “neck pain relief”, “spinal alignment”, “ease of movement”, “cool sleeping experience”, etc.
