A good mattress does more that providing you soft cushy place to rest after the long day. The right mattress may actually improve your sleep and posture. Most people are unaware that their mattresses are old and don’t provide enough support, doing more harm than good. If the mattress disturbs your sleep, so that you feel some firm details or even springs under the fabric and cushioning, then it’s definitely the time to replace the mattress and shop around using the mattress ratings and reviews.

To determine whether you need a new mattress, note if you experience any stiffness or sore muscles or joints when you wake up in the morning. If your sleep is worse than it used to be a few months ago, check for signs of mattress deterioration. Any frictions of the fabrics, unusual sounds and the noticeable dip formed by one or two sleeping bodies in the mattress will tell you that the mattress needs to be replaced.

Most of mattress ratings consider such attributes of a mattress as thickness, material the mattress is made of, warranty, price and special features such as hypoallergenic qualities, stress-relieving design, and the fabric of the covering. After carefully studying the customer reviews and mattress ratings, we found what most people look for in the mattress:

1. The material. Organic cotton and soft wool have become very popular among health-conscious buyers. The mattress should not contain any polyester fillings and should be made of pure wool, preferably lambs or alpaca wool or at least latex foam. The perfect mattress should be dye-free, dust mite repellent, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. Ideally, the mattress should be moisture repellent and flame resistant, too. The mattress should be encased in unbleached organic cotton. Memory foam mattresses were highly rated as the most suitable mattresses for allergy sufferers, but some people suggested that these mattresses become harder in hot climates. Organic cotton and soft wool have become very popular among health-conscious buyers, but these beds are not treated with fire-retarding chemicals required by law.
2. The shape. Firm mattresses provide support and the most upscale models are doctor-prescribed. In general most reviewers prefer soft and thick mattresses which provide more comfort. The most common wish is that mattress should regain its shape and should not flatten over time. People highly rated the mattresses that are durable and likely to last many years.
3. The size. Most mattresses reviewed in mattress ratings are available in twin (single), double, queen, king and Californian king sizes. In general, people prefer to buy a mattress from a manufacturer that offers all imaginable sizes.

Getting a proper mattress foundation is also important. Ideally, you should get it from the same manufacturer because it will prolong the life of the mattress. Working together, mattress and foundation will keep your spine healthy and naturally curved, ensuring your good sleep and pain-free morning. After a good night sleep on a orthopedic mattress your sleep will become deeper, and you will have much more energy during the day.
