Know anything about mattresses?
| Tue, 09-30-2008 - 6:48pm |
My daughter's mattress is old and she'd like to get something "squishier." I always thought that harder mattresses were best--my own feels like a slab at the morgue--but is this true for kids and teens as well? Anyone know anything about how mattress firmness affects posture, development, etc?
And I haven't shopped for a mattress in years. How do I not get ripped off?

I agree with Nancy. Firm with a pillow top. We just bought a new mattress and opted for a Simmons Beautyrest - firm with a foam pillow top. We LOVE it. We call it our vacation bed. As we have a queen size bed it was pricey but we caught a Labor Day sale so we got it for about 40% off. Oh, the pillow tops can be a little warm so ask about which pillow top is the coolest. Some of them are made with latex if latex allergies are a consideration, be sure to ask.
HTH - sorry I couldn't give you any information about development, posture, etc.
If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them...
When we replaced ds's mattress a few years ago, our chiropractor said to make sure we got a firm mattress for him.
