Is your current mattress more than 10 years old? Then it's probably time for you to replace it. The average mattress is only going to last for about a decade before needing to be replaced.

You should also start looking for a new mattress if your current mattress isn't as comfortable as it can be. You're going to have a tough time getting enough sleep if you're not lying down on the perfect mattress night in and night out.

Before you begin searching for the best mattress, though, you should learn all about how to buy a mattress that you'll love. By using some simple mattress buying tips, you can ensure that you end up with the right mattress in the end.

Here is a dreamer's guide to choosing the perfect mattress while sifting through all the different types of mattresses that are out there.

Kick Things Off by Learning About the Different Types of Mattresses

A lot of people struggle to find the perfect mattress when they're in the market for one. More often than not, this is because they get overwhelmed with all of the options that are available to them. There are just so many different types of mattresses to choose from!

Your first order of business should be learning about the different types of mattresses so that you're not confused when you're shopping around for them. Some of the most popular types of mattresses today are:

• Innerspring mattresses
• Memory foam mattresses
• Latex mattresses
• Hybrid mattresses

If you don't familiarize yourself with the various types of mattresses, you're going to get confused when you start your search for one. By learning about these mattresses, you'll put yourself in a much better position and increase your chances of tracking the perfect mattress down.

Find Out What the Best Mattress Brand Is at the Moment

The mattress industry is worth almost $30 billion these days. That has led to a huge spike in the number of new mattress brands entering the marketplace.

Your goal should be to find the best mattress brand of the bunch. This is going to be easier said than done. But if nothing else, you're going to need to have a mattress brand on your side that you know you can trust to set you up with an excellent mattress that fits all your specific needs.

Nest Bedding is a mattress brand that definitely falls into this category right now. We sell a variety of high-quality mattresses, including everything from the Alexander Signature Hybrid mattress to the Certified Organic Hybrid Latex mattress, and have made a name for ourselves by supplying our customers with the perfect mattresses time and time again.

Figure Out Which Mattresses Work Best With Your Preferred Sleeping Position

What is your preferred sleeping position? Are you a:

• Back sleeper
• Side sleeper
• Stomach sleeper

Your answer to this question is going to play a big part in what your perfect mattress is ultimately going to be. It's why you should figure out where you stand when it comes to sleeping positions prior to purchasing a new mattress.

If, for example, you are a back sleeper, you're usually going to do best with a mattress that falls somewhere in the middle in terms of firmness. A hybrid mattress is often going to be your best bet.

But if you are a side sleeper, a somewhat firm memory foam mattress might work better for you. It's going to provide you with all the support that you need to relieve the shoulder and hip pain you might experience with other mattresses.

Stomach sleepers, meanwhile, tend to do best with innerspring or hybrid mattresses that are firmer than the mattresses that back and side sleepers need. And if you're some combination of these three, then you're going to have to think about what level of firmness will suit you best based on how you spend most of your time sleeping.

If you sleep next to someone else every night, you should also take their preferred sleeping position into account when trying to find the perfect mattress. You should be able to blend both your needs to find something that's firm enough and comfortable enough for each of you. 

Consider How Much You're Willing to Spend on a Mattress

You're going to spend about one-third of all your time lying down on your mattress. So you should not skimp on it if you can avoid doing it.

That being said, you also don't want to break the bank on a mattress when it's time to buy one. It's why you should create a budget for it ahead of time and vow to stick to it while you're in pursuit of your perfect mattress.

No matter what your budget might be, a brand like Nest Bedding has something for almost everyone. Come up with a price that you feel comfortable paying for a mattress and see what falls into your price range.

Narrow Down Your Options and Choose the Mattress You Like the Most

Once you've learned about the different types of mattresses, found out about the different mattress brands, and considered which mattresses would work best for you, you should be all ready to pick out the perfect mattress. It can be a daunting task for some people, but it'll be well worth all the work that you put into it.

You're going to be sleeping on your mattress for at least the next 10 years in most cases. You should make sure it's a mattress that you love from a trusted name like Nest Bedding.
