How to test a mattress − at home or in store

A Leesa Mattress on a bed in a bedroom next to a Leesa delivery box.

I like to think of a mattress as an investment. You're spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to find a bed you want to sleep on for the next 10 years. That's why I always recommend that customers test a bed before you buy it, so that you know exactly what you're in for. 

If you want to take stock of your options, you should head to a mattress showroom and learn how to test a mattress in-store. That way, you can sample multiple beds from the same brand or compare mattresses across the market. If you can't find a showroom near you, you could always take advantage of mattress sleep trials and learn how to test a mattress at home.
