But have you ever wondered how to identify a high-quality mattress? If many options are available, how can you determine which one is of high quality?

Always Buy High-Quality Mattress

Online stores and physical shops offer a wide range of mattresses with varying price tags, materials, types, and other features. If you want to buy a high-quality mattress at affordable prices, buying from a store or shop may not be the ideal decision.

These shops are just the resellers and they don’t have any control over the production quality. They also raise prices as per their shop policies.

Identifying a Quality Mattress

Spending more money on a mattress does not guarantee a quality product. If you choose the right mattress supplier, it is possible to get higher quality at lower rates. And keep in mind that not every super-expensive mattress offers the expected level of comfort and support.

Usually, brands charge you higher prices just for their so-called additional features. Now, these are practical tips that you can use to buy and identify a quality mattress, anywhere.

1. Check the Quality of Material

Mattresses are available in different shapes, materials, and sizes. The material of the mattress is the very first thing that you notice about the product. Here are some common tips to check the material quality for some common mattress types available in the market.

Memory Foam Mattresses

High-density memory foam conforms to your body shape, providing excellent pressure relief—especially for side sleepers. Multiple layers of foam with cooling gel or open-cell technology offer better airflow and temperature control.

Cheap memory foam may trap heat and feel too soft, leading to poor support over time. Look for CertiPUR-US® certification, which ensures the foam is free from harmful chemicals and low in VOCs.

Innerspring Mattresses

Coil count and gauge matter—aim for at least 800 coils in a queen-size and a gauge between 12–15 for balanced support and softness. Modern innerspring mattresses often include a plush pillow top or memory foam layer for added comfort.

Look for individually wrapped coils (also called pocket coils) instead of traditional Bonnell coils, as they provide better motion isolation and contouring.

Latex Mattresses

Synthetic latex mattresses are also available in the market but natural latex products perform better. Check if the mattress is breathable and bouncier than a memory foam.

These mattresses are useful for sleepers who prefer eco-friendly options, and more responsive surfaces. A mattress made from natural latex also lasts longer than other material options.

2. Check Foam Layers and Construction

It is a pretty common scam in the mattress manufacturing industry that high-quality material is used for the top layer only. Beneath top layers, they use cheaper materials. It is not easy for a normal user to detect this issue. Especially when you are buying from an online store, you need to be extra careful about this issue.

How to make sure that all layers are of high-quality material while buying online? Well, the only way to ensure this point is to choose a reliable mattress supplier like JLH Home.

You should avoid mattresses that feel too thin or flat. A well-built mattress is generally at least 10–12 inches thick and includes a mix of comfort and support layers. The thicker and more thoughtfully constructed the mattress, the better it holds up over time.

3. Test for Support and Comfort

Comfort is about how the mattress feels when you lie on it; support is how well it holds your body. This is the most important test that you need to apply for buying any mattress.

A quality mattress should do both. It should cradle your body without letting you sink in too much, and it should keep your spine properly aligned throughout the night.

Every user has different requirements regarding the firmness of the mattresses. But every high-quality mattress must:

· Maintain neutral spinal alignment

· Provide even weight distribution

· Offer pressure relief at key points

· Avoid deep sinkage or excessive softness

4. Breathability and Temperature Regulation

Memory foams are great but for hot sleepers, they pose issues. A quality mattress should regulate the body temperature by offering a breathable cover or any other tech. Some memory foams come with cooling gel to overcome the heating issues.

If a mattress traps heat, you will see a significant impact on the quality of your sleep. If you tend to overheat at night, pay close attention to the cooling technology. Breathable materials are used to reduce heat retention in mattresses.

5. Prefer Lifespan and Durability

Most mattresses look the same but offer different lifespans based on their construction. The outer layer of any mattress does not determine the expected lifespan of a mattress. Always thoroughly check the mattress description and the use of materials will give you an idea about the expected lifespan of the mattress.

Almost all mattress brands offer warranties and trial periods for their mattresses. Don’t forget to check these warranties and return policies. A mattress that holds its shape and comfort after years of use is a strong indicator of quality.

There are so many other personal shopping habits that determine your shopping experience. Choosing a reliable supplier can save you from all this trouble. JLH Home is known to offer the best mattresses for customers and businesses, having a huge clientele of 1000+ hotels and millions of users.
