[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The mattress industry isn\u2019t always easy to navigate and misinformation abounds. Don\u2019t fall for these common mattress myths:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Coil count matters:\u00a0<\/strong>It doesn\u2019t necessarily. The size and thickness of the springs matters just as much, if not more.<\/p>\n

Gel foam\/Memory foam is safe:<\/strong> It may be. However, some memory foam mattresses contain toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and naphthalene. Memory foam may also contain isocyanates, which, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin.<\/p>\n

All latex mattresses are created equal: <\/strong>While all natural latex comes from the same rubber trees, they are not equal. Production methods may differ and so do density and durability. There are also distinction between natural and synthetically produced latex.<\/p>\n

Special lumbar support alleviates back pain:<\/strong>\u00a0The correct support does help alleviate or avoid back pain. But the correct amount varies by person. Too much support can just as easily lead to aches and pains.<\/p>\n

Thickness matters:\u00a0<\/strong>It does. But biggest doesn\u2019t always mean best. Mattresses range from 4 to 16 inches, but the common 10-13-inch range suits most people. If you are of an average weight, you won\u2019t feel the benefit of paying extra money for a 15-inch thick mattress.<\/p>\n

You need a box spring for that new mattress:<\/strong>\u00a0You probably don\u2019t. New mattresses are typically thick enough that they do not need the extra shock absorption of box springs. As long as your bed frame provides adequate support and a solid platform for your mattress, you can skip the box spring.<\/p>\n

One size fits all:\u00a0<\/strong>With a decision that is as expensive and as important to your health and well-being as a mattress, you should always do your research. It\u2019s true that the average person would probably be happy with the average mattress, but it\u2019s always a good idea to educate yourself before making such a personal purchase. Before buying, consider your sleeping position, age, weight, any medical conditions and personal preference.<\/p>\n
