What should you consider when buying a mattress?
Comfort, support and durability are the most important factors to look for first. Consider brand and retailer support are a larger factor as well. After that, take price into consideration.
Does my sleep position matter when buying a mattress?
Yes, sleep positions matters in terms of which pressure points are affected during sleep, as well as how the spine is supported. Because each individual sleeper is different, the only way to determine which mattress and comfort level works best for your sleep position is to test out the different mattresses in the store. It helps to talk to the salesperson about which options are available so they can make recommendations based on your personal needs.
Does a mattress need to be firm to be supportive?
With today's modern mattresses, the support comes from the innerspring. The comfort layers determine the surface "feel." For example, every Mattress on Demand mattress features an advanced and durable innerspring system designed to deliver proper spinal support. That means you can choose the mattress that feels best to you in order to receive the support you need.
What's the difference between a box spring and a platform bed frame?
A platform bed frame (like the Weekender Folding Metal Platform), eliminates the need for a box spring because it provides a supportive base for your mattress. It is a cost-saving option that is much easier to move than a box spring while providing space for storage under your bed. Box springs are essentially a wooden box covered in material designed to support your mattress. A bed frame provides the same option with a different look and feel. Our platform bed frames are durable because they are built to hold up to 2500 pounds of weight. Stop in to see them for yourself. A basic bed frame is designed to be placed under a box spring.
What is a hybrid mattress?
A hybrid mattress is a multi-layer bed that combines memory foam, latex, or gel along with an innerspring pocket coil system. Sleepers can experience both the pressure relief of the foam layers and the sturdy feel of a classic spring mattress. It is the perfect blend of two or more superior products. At Mattress on Demand you can purchase hybrids from the top brands Helix, Puffy, Sealy and Stearns and Foster. Helix offers a perimeter pocketed coil mattress paired with high density support foam offering medium to plush feels. The Helix Midnight Luxe is ideal for side and back sleepers. The Puffy Hybrid mattress is for strict side sleepers that want the deepest sinking. The Sealy Brenham Hybrid Firm is perfect for stomach, back and side sleepers looking for a firm to medium firm feel in their new mattress. The Helix Luxe mattress paired with GlacioTex is the ultimate in hybrid mattress featuring ice touch fabric to regulate body temperature, pressure relieving gel memory foam, and a premium pocketed coil support system. The most popular selling mattress at Mattress on Demand is the Helix Luxe Midnight mattress.
Does a Helix mattress need a bed frame?
A Helix mattress needs a hard surface which can be a box spring, platform bed, adjustable bed frame, or a Malouf Platform folding bed frame available at all locations.
How long does a Helix take to expand?
A Helix mattress needs up to 24 hours to completely expand. Once you open the mattress it will expand to close to 80% and can be used at this point. It will expand 100% in 24 hours from unboxing. Most mattresses will be ready to sleep on the same night!
Can you use any mattress with an adjustable base?
All mattresses sold at Mattress on Demand except our Value Mattresses are adjustable base friendly. While pocketed coil mattresses work on adjustable bed bases, a traditional spring mattress will not.
