4 Things To Look For In A New Mattress

There are literally thousands of different mattress brands on the market, and new trends pop up all the time. If you were presently looking for the perfect mattress, it can be difficult to know what makes a mattress better than another, and you might be overwhelmed. However, the search becomes easier when you narrow down your choices based on your lifestyle, sleeping habits, and personal preferences. Let’s take a look at some of the things you should consider when picking a new mattress.

What Kind of Sleeper are You?

Some mattresses will be better depending on your favorite sleeping position. For instance, if you prefer to sleep on your side, a firm mattress might not be the best option as it will put more pressure on your shoulders and hips. Instead, you should choose a thick and soft mattress that will cradle your whole body and distribute the weight evenly.

People who like to sleep on their back, on the other hand, can go for a thinner mattress with moderate support. If you prefer to sleep on your stomach, you should consider a firm mattress that will also be on the thinner side as there will be few recessed areas that will need support.

Then you have combination sleepers, who actually are the majority. These people switch positions multiple times during the night, and need a versatile mattress. In this case, latex mattresses that are softer on top with a middle layer and firmer on the bottom will give you a combination of pressure relief and support.

Also, if you’re dealing with pain issues or chronic injuries, it’s important that you ask your physician for recommendations. They’ll also be able to advise you on which models you should avoid entirely.

Easy Shipping

If you don’t like the idea of having to spend a whole weekend going to your closest mall or mattress retailer to look at mattresses, know that buying mattresses is now easier than ever with beds in a box. 

The principle behind them is simple. These mattresses will be compressed, rolled up, and shipped to you in a box, hence the name. They’re often much cheaper, high quality, and they usually come with a long risk-free trial period. 

One of the easiest ways that you can find a good best bed in a box is by looking at reviews. This will give you a good idea of what to expect from a new mattress before you make a purchase.

Check the Warranty

Another thing you want to look at when picking a new mattress is the warranty. You never know what could happen, and you want the warranty to be easy to redeem as well as long. Look for a mattress with a 7 to 10-year warranty if possible.

This also goes if you want to try a bed in a box. It’s important that you privilege companies with longer trial periods, and make sure that there aren’t any hidden clauses in their return policies.

Look at the Price, but be Careful

One of the biggest mistakes you could make when looking for a new mattress is imagining that the most expensive mattresses are automatically the best ones. However, you’d be surprised to know that some mattress stores and companies will sell the exact same mattresses under different names, and at different price points. So, don’t fall for the marketing and base your choice on research first and foremost.

If you pay special attention to these factors when shopping for a new mattress, you should be able to find the best model for you in no time. Don’t be afraid to look around, and learn as much as you can about manufacturers, models, and materials before you make your final decision.

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub.

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, the β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

β€œHe himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
