#52 - Finding the Perfect Mattress: The Bed's Too Big Without You

Perhaps the biggest single influence on your sleep is the surface that you sleep on. Choosing a mattress is a process that combines personal preference, but also an emerging body of science. In this episode, we will talk to our first guest and producer of the show Maeve Winter about her quest to find the perfect mattress for her and her boyfriend. In this episode, we will:

• Discuss how one uses their current sleep experience to inform how they choose their mattress
• Identify what factors matter in terms of mattress selection
• Review the research about firmness and temperature and how they can improve overall sleep quality
• Touch upon other factors that may be important to individuals buying a mattress: construction, materials, size, and motion-suppression , and cost
• Summarize the process of going to a Mattress Firm locally, and how the uniformity of working with a Sleep Expert allows two individuals in different locations to "shop" together.

*Dr. Winter has a financial relationship with Sleep.com and Mattress Firm. The content, opinions, and views in this podcast reflect his own opinions and not those of Sleep.com or Mattress Firm.
