Whether you’re working from home, juggling a busy schedule, or simply in need of some quality rest, the foundation of better sleep starts with choosing the perfect mattress from Godwin’s Furniture. But with so many options on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?
In this ultimate guide, we’ll walk you through the most important factors to consider when shopping for a mattress in 2025, from understanding your sleep needs to exploring the various types and brands that may work best for you. Get ready to make an informed decision and invest in your sleep like never before!
1. Know Your Sleep Position
Your sleep position plays a major role in determining which mattress will best support your body. Whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper, the mattress you choose should align with your unique needs.
-Side sleepers generally benefit from softer mattresses that cushion the shoulders and hips while still providing adequate support for the spine.
-Back sleepers need a medium-firm mattress that offers a balance of comfort and support to maintain the natural curve of the spine.
-Stomach sleepers often require a firmer mattress to prevent the body from sinking too deeply, which can cause back pain over time.
The best way to figure out what kind of sleeper you are is by taking advantage of our advanced Support Report Technology. Originally created for the medical industry, the Support Report will accurately diagnose your body’s pressure points and recommend the right mattress for you to get a Better Night’s Sleep!
Our system utilizes 1,664 sensors to measure support and pressure relief. The Support Report will then generate a live pressure image and comfort map showing peak pressure areas that need comfort and support. It can even help you select the correct pillow for proper head and neck support to keep your spine alignment straight.
Once measured, the software will give you an unbiased mattress category recommendation showing you which mattress type will provide you with the best comfort and support. Couples will be mapped individually and will be able to see their individual results as well as their combined result and recommended mattress type. You can feel confident that you’ve found the right mattress after using Support Report.
2. Consider Your Preferred Mattress Material
There are several types of mattresses available, each with its own unique benefits. Here's a quick rundown of the most popular materials all of which are offered at Godwin’s:
-Memory Foam: Known for its body-conforming qualities, memory foam offers great pressure relief and motion isolation. Ideal for people with joint pain or those who share a bed with a partner.
-Innerspring: Classic and supportive, innerspring mattresses feature coils that provide bounce and firmness. Great for those who like a traditional feel and added durability.
-Hybrid: A mix of innerspring coils and foam layers, hybrids offer the best of both worlds—combining the support of coils with the comfort of memory foam or latex.
-Pocketed Coil: If you’re looking for exceptional support and motion isolation, pocketed coil mattresses are a great choice. These coils are individually wrapped, allowing them to move independently and conform to your body’s shape. This feature reduces motion transfer, making pocketed coil mattresses an excellent option for couples or light sleepers.
3. Figure out Your Preferred Firmness
Firmness is one of the most important factors to consider, but remember—everyone has different preferences. What feels “just right” for one person may not work for another. We make sure to offer several firmness ratings including plush, cushion firm, and firm, so be sure to stop in and test out a few options before committing. Some people prefer a softer feel, while others need extra firmness for optimal support.
4. Adjustable Bases: Comfort at Your Fingertips
An adjustable base is a great addition to your sleep setup if you’re looking to take your comfort to the next level. With an adjustable base, you can elevate your head, raise your feet, or find a customized position that works for you, all with the press of a button.
-Ideal for personalized support: Adjustable bases are perfect for people who suffer from back pain, snoring, or even acid reflux, as they allow you to find a position that minimizes discomfort.
-Great for couples: Adjustable bases offer the flexibility to set each side of the bed to a different angle, ensuring both partners are comfortable without compromising on sleep posture.
-Increase relaxation: Some adjustable bases even come with added features like massage settings, which can help promote relaxation before bedtime.
5. Check for Durability
A mattress is an investment, and you want one that will stand the test of time. Be sure to check the materials used in the mattress to make sure it will remain durable for several years to come. You can be confident shopping at Godwin’s that whatever mattress you pick will hold up for a long time since we only carry the best brands such as Serta, Bedgear, and Mattress 1st.
6. Affordable Mattresses for a Good Night’s Sleep
While it’s tempting to choose a mattress based on price alone, consider it an investment in your health and well-being. A quality mattress can improve your posture, reduce back pain, and leave you feeling more rested and energized. That said, there are plenty of great options at various and affordable price points when shopping at Godwin’s Furniture, so take your time and find one that balances comfort, support, and value.
