Hi Emily;
Welcome to the mattress jungle. Our access to information in the internet age can be empowering as well as debilitating. When shopping for a mattress try to avoid the noise and focus on yourself. First off comfort is key. If you are not comfortable in your sleeping space good sleep is not going to happen. Next what you are trying to achieve on your new mattress is good spinal alignment in your preferred sleep position. The materials in the mattress are for comfort and stability. It would be helpful to try out different kinds of mattresses to see which ones fit. We focus on natural materials in our store and there countless configurations that work for different customers. Trust yourself and your first impressions of different types of mattresses. Once you have tried a few makes and models come back to the forum give us your questions and concerns.

Welcome to the forum Emily. I hope the mattress research will be too frustrating for you. I once had a lady come to see our beds in Toronto who said to me “It feels like one needs to get a Ph.D in mattresses before one can buy anything given the amount of information and false claims out there!”

Welcome! There’s definitely a lot to learn here. I’d start with the basics like mattress types, firmness, and support.
