Buying a mattress isn’t just about comfort—it’s an investment in wellness. At Nova Furniture Mall, we understand how crucial restful sleep is to your overall well-being.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know: mattress types, choosing the right firmness and size, key buying tips, and how Nova stands behind your purchase.
1. Understand Different Mattress Types
Knowing the different types helps narrow your options:
- Innerspring Mattresses use coil support with comfort layers. These are traditional, bouncy, and often more affordable. Higher-quality models use encased or pocketed coils for better support and motion isolation.
- Foam Mattresses rely on layers of foam (memory foam, high-density foam) for contouring support. Memory foam molds to your body and relieves pressure, though it can retain heat. Innovations like gel-infused or open-cell memory foam help improve breathability.
- Hybrid Mattresses combine innerspring support with foam or latex layers for balanced comfort, support, and cooling—the growing favorite across many sleep experts.
2. Choose the Right Firmness Based on Sleep Position & Body Weight
Selecting the right firmness ensures proper alignment and comfort:
- Medium-firm mattresses are generally the most supportive and comfortable for many sleepers—especially those with back pain or spinal alignment issues.
- Side sleepers benefit from softer mattresses or those with pillow-tops to relieve pressure on shoulders and hips. Back sleepers fare best on medium-firm styles to preserve natural spinal alignment, while stomach sleepers need firmer surfaces to prevent sinking.
- Body weight also plays a role: heavier individuals may need firmer models to prevent sinking, while lighter individuals often prefer softer options.
3. Prioritize Pressure Relief, Cooling, and Durability
Look for features addressing comfort, temperature, and longevity:
- Memory foam and latex are excellent for pressure relief, cushioning joints while providing support.
- If you sleep hot, opt for cooling technologies like open-cell foams, gel infusions, or breathable hybrid designs.
- A mattress thickness of 10 inches or more offers better support, improved durability, and a higher comfort factor. Thinner mattresses often lose support quickly.
- High-quality mattresses are built to last around 7–10 years, with latex models often lasting longer and foam layers typically wearing out sooner. What matters most? The durability of the comfort layer.
4. Picking the Right Size
Make sure your mattress fits your room and sleep needs:
- Standard sizes include Twin, Full, Queen, King, and California King. Most shoppers find the Queen mattress ideal for comfort without overcrowding a bedroom, while taller individuals may prefer the King mattress.
- Upgrading from Full to Queen—even though just a few inches more—can significantly enhance comfort and breathing space.

5. Try Before Buying & Use Sleep Trials
Trying a mattress first is vital:
- In-store, spend at least 20 minutes lying down to let your body respond—your comfort instincts will reveal what works.
- Online, look for brands offering 100–120 night sleep trials—many even extend to 365 nights. This gives your body time to adapt before committing.

6. Compare Prices, Warranty, and Return Policies
Smart buyers consider long-term protection:
- Set a budget aligned with quality—many excellent mattresses cost under $1,000, but investing a bit more often pays off in durability and better sleep health.
- A solid warranty (10–15 years or more) and a generous sleep trial offer peace of mind.
- At Nova Furniture Mall, note that mattresses can only be returned if unopened and in original packaging—otherwise, returns are not accepted.
7. Maintenance and When to Replace
To maximize lifespan and performance:
- Rotate or flip your mattress regularly (when applicable) to reduce sagging over time.
- Use a mattress topper or protector to extend comfort layers and guard against wear.
- Most mattresses last 7–10 years, but materials like latex may last longer. Replace sooner if you experience sagging or new aches.
