When choosing the best mattress, you have to consider every aspect of the bed, from the dead center to the tips of the corners. Because, let's face it, we rarely spend a full night lying curled up in the middle of the mattress. If you ever wake up clinging to the side of the bed, then you need to think about edge support.
