The most important piece of furniture in your room (and perhaps your entire house) is your mattress. You spend approximately a third of your life on it, so it’s never something you should settle on.
If you’re constantly waking up tired, it may be time for a new mattress — one that’s so comfortable, you can’t help but sleep like a baby.
That’s why we have bedMATCHⓇ, our diagnostic sleep system. bedMATCHⓇ takes the guesswork out of mattress shopping by using scientific measurements to make objective recommendations on the best mattress specifically for you.
Since we know not everyone will be able to take our quick three-minute test in-store, we’ve created an online bedMATCHⓇ quiz so you can discover the perfect bed for you without leaving your house.
