FAQ: Mattress Basics

Q1. Should I finance a mattress?

A mattress is a fairly large purchase, but many people are able to buy theirs immediately without a payment plan. If you decide that you need a more costly mattress that is out of your current budget, then financing is a good option to help you out. Make sure you go through the terms of the financing offers so that you can get the best mattress at best price.

Q2. Should we rotate mattresses periodically?

We recommend that you rotate your mattress at least once every three months. But zoned mattresses can’t be rotated.

Q3. How to store a mattress?

Tips to store your mattress:

  1. Vacuum the mattress thoroughly
  2. Apply upholstery cleaner or baking soda
  3. Place the mattress outside to air out and dry
  4. Use a covered moving truck to transport to storage
Q4. How will holiday shipping affect my order?

Holiday shippings are mostly slower and expensive compared to normal days. The delivery of your order might be delayed due to holidays as most of the staff are off-duty.

Q6. What are two Twin beds equal to?

2 Twin size beds make a King size bed. A standard King size mattress is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. A standard Twin bed is 38 inches wide and 75 inches long. Two Twin beds will be wider, but 5 inches shorter than a King.

Q7. What’s the difference between Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm?
  • Plush Soft: The plush has soft foams and extra cushioning which gives a feel of sinking in to the mattress. If you are a side sleeper, light sleeper or want a softer mattress this is a great option for you.
  • Luxury Firm: The luxury firm gives you the perfect comfort and support for a good night’s sleep. If you are a back, stomach or side sleeper this is the best option for you. Couples with different sleeping preference also go for luxury firm.
  • Firm: The firm foam gives you the feeling of lying on the top of the mattress rather than sinking in to it. So, if you don’t like the sinking feel this is a great option for you. This is ideal mattress type for heavy and stomach/back sleepers who need some extra support while sleeping.
