Cheap Mattress Set

When considering a cheap mattress set, you need to keep in mind several factors.  The obvious is price, but beyond that, you want to make sure that your box spring and mattress come as a set.  This is important because mattresses and box springs are actually designed to be paired...the layout of the springs and the framework are actually aligned.  If you mix and match brands, you can end up with a box spring that won't fully support your mattress.  You might not feel the difference at first, but the mattress will wear much faster if it is on a spring that did not come as a set.

Other factors include construction, firmness, and materials.  As for construction, you need to find out what type of framework and what wire gauge is used in the mattress set.  You should also inquire about the stitching or piping on the mattress edges and seams, looking for heavier cloth that will not wear thin.

If you are looking for a pillow-top mattress set, remember that these are not rotated like other mattresses.  (Other mattresses are flipped from head to toe, and/or front to back, every few months.)   And realize that foam-top mattresses are often 'warmer' than other pillow-top mattresses, so if you get overly warn at night when you are sleeping, you might want to avoid those.

One other major factor when considering a cheap mattress set is delivery fees.  Be careful not to have all of your savings eroded by high shipping costs.

Finding a good quality mattress set can really improve your night's sleep.  Some folks report feeling 'older' when sleeping on a poor-quality bed, but finding a good one with proper support of your joints through the night can be rejuvenating, and even make you feel 'younger'.

Your best bet for finding a combination of good quality (yet still cheap) mattress set is to go with one of the major manufacturers or outlet, but rely on sales and discounts that they so frequently offer. If you think about the amount of time you spend using your bed every week, it is a pretty significant portion of your life. A poor-quality mattress will wear out much more quickly, and will give you a poor night's sleep in the meantime. In the long run you are better of spending a little bit more on a mattress...it will pay for itself in the long run.

To find the best deal, make sure to know exactly which mattress model you want.  Try out various brands in stores, and pick the one you want, then shop for that specific model.  For example, you might find a Sealy Posturepedic really meets your needs, or you may prefer a Stearns and Foster mattress.  To the degree possible, narrow it beyond the brand to the specific model.  Sealy Posturepedic offers 'True Form', 'Spring Free', and 'Comfort Series' to name a few.  Each of the other brands, like Kingsdown, Simmons Beautyrest, Serta, etc., each have differences in construction, and each have various lines, some of which are cheaper than others.

Above all, do not go too far trading quality for price when looking for a cheap mattress set.
