"Finding the sweet spot between your budget and ideal mattress enhances sleep satisfaction.”
Choose the Right Mattress Size
Your new mattress needs to fit both your bedroom space and sleeping habits. Key factors like room dimensions, existing furniture, solo vs. co-sleeping, and individual height should dictate your best size mattress.
Mattress To Door provides all standard mattress sizes to suit your unique needs:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- King
- California King
For example, queen and king sizes work well for couples, while twin and twin XL better fit single sleepers. Measure your room’s length and width, account for existing furnishings, then select the largest mattress dimensions accommodated.
Getting the right mattress size ensures maximum comfort so you get your best night’s sleep.
Evaluate Types of Mattress
Understanding differences between mattress varieties helps identify optimal sleep surface. Main types include:
Foam mattresses conform closely hugging body contours. Memory foam mattress specifically reacts to pressure and warmth molding to your shape.
Hybrid mattresses combine foam comfort layers with an innerspring coil support core for contouring cushion and bounce.
Latex mattresses offer impressive durability plus consistent cushioning from natural or synthetic rubber foam.
Innerspring mattresses feature steel coil support systems ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand pocketed coils depending on quality.

Determine Your Firmness Preference
Identifying your optimal mattress firmness (firm mattress) ensures both proper spinal support and pressure point relief. The right firmness levels largely depend on your:
- Body type
- Weight
- Dominant sleep position
- Any pain issues
Mattress firmness ranges from ultra-soft to extra-firm using a universal standard rating scale from 1-10. Lower numbers represent softer feels while higher numbers mark firmer feels.
Mattress To Door labels every mattress with its firmness rating so you know precisely what to expect. Their selections span the full spectrum so all body types and preferences get their perfect match.
Consider Your Dominant Sleep Position
Your go-to sleeping pose plays a major role in choosing an appropriate mattress. Different positions create pressure points in distinct areas of the body that your mattress must adequately cushion and support.
Back Sleepers
For back sleeping, ideal mattress firmness falls between medium to medium-firm, around a 6-8 rating. This prevents excessive sinking while supporting the lumbar spine in proper alignment. Many Mattress To Door options like the responsive Beautyrest and Serta collections suit back sleepers’ needs.
Side Sleepers
Softer mattresses work best for side sleeping, conforming closely to cushion pressure points like shoulders and hips. Look for plush to medium feels in the 3-6 firmness range. Mattress To Door’s value collections offer quality picks side sleepers love.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers require adequate reinforcement preventing the “hammock” effect which strains the back. Firmer mattresses over a 7 rating prevent sinking keeping everything aligned. Plenty of Mattress To Door selections like the Serta line suit stomach sleepers’ needs.
Combination Sleepers
People frequently changing positions need balance between contouring and support. Medium options around a 5-7 rating cushion side and back positions while preventing excessive sinking for stomach sleeping. Mattress To Door’s value collections offer quality hybrids combination sleepers love.
“Aligning mattress firmness and support with your regular sleep positions results in a more restful night's sleep.”
Consider Special Factors
Certain issues like sleeping hot, larger body types, or age can further impact mattress selection.
Hot Sleepers
If you sleep hot, consider breathable designs, cooling gels, or heat-wicking covers. Mattress To Door’s specially-engineered hybrids offer exceptional temperature regulating features for cooler sleeping.
Plus-Size Sleepers
Heavier individuals over 230lbs require durable mattresses effectively absorbing body weight without sagging. Softer feels around a 4 rating complement plus-size bodies best. Mattress To Door makes supportive hybrids specifically for bigger body sizes.
Seniors
For seniors, balancing cushioning pressure relief and ample reinforcement for mobility is key. Medium feels around a 6 rating prevent aches and pains while responding to shifting needs. Mattress To Door’s responsive Beautyrest hybrids suit seniors ideally.
