It’s that time of year again – as spring turns to summer, so do students become college graduates. There are a lot of things running through a grad’s mind, such as where am I going to work and where am I going to live?
One thing all college grads need to think about is how well do they want to sleep at night and what type of mattress is going to help make that happen. It all starts with buying your first mattress.
If at any point you slept in a dorm room, you know firsthand the difference between a good mattress and one that is basically padded cardboard. That’s why your first mattress needs to be one that fits your individual sleep needs. There are so many choices out there, you might be tempted to just go with a cheaply-made option, thinking “all mattresses are the same.”
Here are a few tips on buying your first mattress:
If your first residence after becoming a college grad is an apartment, there are a few things to keep in mind when looking for your first mattress. You don’t want to get a king-sized mattress if you have a small, one-bedroom apartment. Of course, on the other side of the spectrum, a twin mattress might be too small.
Everything depends on what you decide to do with the space you have. If you plan on having a lot of furniture in your bedroom, you might want to opt for a smaller mattress. That being said, if you have a larger bedroom, or if you only plan on having a few pieces of furniture, then a full- or queen-sized mattress might make more sense.
Of course, if you’re moving into a new apartment with your partner, then you will almost assuredly want a mattress with a little extra space.
Some college grads might have stayed at home and commuted to school or, during the pandemic, did remote learning. If that’s the case and you’re ready to move out on your own, you’re probably looking to upgrade your first mattress into something that fits you a little better.
As mentioned above, finding a great mattress is all about finding the right fit for you. Fortunately, at Mattress Warehouse, you can find the right mattress at the right price just for you. With bedMATCH®, Mattress Warehouse’s patented diagnostic sleep system, you’ll be able to take the guesswork out of picking your first mattress.
