I can already feel my current mattress aging and I sense that I will probably be buying a new one soon. The problem is that I've never really bought my own mattress before so I don't really know what to look for. I'm of course tempted to just buy the cheapest option but after thinking it over a bit more, I realized that I will be using it for a long time anyway so it might not be a terrible idea to splurge a little. I just thought I'd ask here first in case any members here have any tips regarding purchasing mattresses. What types of mattress do your prefer? Any particular brand you favor? What are some things to consider or look out for when shopping for mattresses?
