A Mattress is a thick sleeping mat often placed over a box spring on a bed. The most common type of mattress is the innerspring. It consists of padding and metal coiled springs.
Buying a Mattress:
Mattress manufacturers will sell the same mattress under different names to separate retailers, so choosing a mattress can be quite confusing. To avoid all the name confusion just ignore the brand names and focus on the comfort.The comfort of a mattress is dependent on its firmness or softness. The firmness is related to the wire gauge and coil count. Stronger metals provide more support as does a higher coil count or a thicker wire gauge. The combinations can be confusing as some have a high coil count with a low gauge while others have a thick gauge and a low count. So to determine comfort the best thing to do is test it. Lay down on the mattress and let your body tell you how it feels.
