What is your sleep type?
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers may enjoy a firmer mattress with consistent support along the neck, spine and hips. The level of preferred firmness may vary based on your body type and comfort preference.
Side Sleepers
In order to keep hips and shoulders in proper alignment, side sleepers typically prefer a softer mattress that cushions those areas of the body.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers may look for a mattress that offers a plush surface and adequate support, especially around their midsection. Hybrid mattresses that combine layers of memory foam and innersprings could be the perfect solution for a stomach sleeper.
Back Pain
Back pain can be a serious issue that’s often aggravated by an uncomfortable mattress. Back pain can affect all types of sleepers, so it’s important to take a Comfort Test to get personalized recommendations. In general, be aware of your spine alignment when sleep testing mattresses to help minimize back pain.
Couples
Searching for the perfect mattress for two people can be tricky. If you’re a light sleeper, look for a core support system that minimizes motion transfer so you won’t notice when your partner moves around in bed. Comfort layers make a mattress feel plush while still providing substantial support. We even have split mattress options, so it’s possible to find a bed that will make everyone happy.
Major Mattress Types
Mattresses can be as unique as the people sleeping on them! Learn about what’s inside to find the best fit for your own personal comfort level. To take a comfort test and get a personalized mattress recommendation, be sure to visit your local Raymour & Flanigan showroom.
Firm Mattresses
Firm mattresses provide plenty of support while you’re sleeping, so they’re usually a great fit for those who don’t experience back pain. Firm mattresses keep your spine in proper alignment and distribute weight evenly.
Soft Mattresses
If you struggle with back pain, a soft mattress could be the answer for you. A soft mattress can cushion shoulders and hips to give you a cozy night’s sleep. Layers of quilted cotton, memory foam and more will give you that cloud-soft feeling you’re looking for.
Memory Foam
Memory foam contours to the body to allow for relief of pressure points on the body and have multiple layers of foam for support and comfort.
Inner Spring
The carefully designed coils of each innerspring mattress are intended to support your entire body while you sleep.
Hybrid
Hybrid mattresses combine the best of a memory foam mattress and a traditional innerspring mattress. Hybrids have great support from the innersprings along with the pressure-relief from the memory foam.
Mattress Sizes
Choosing the right size mattress is important to getting a good night’s sleep. Raymour & Flanigan carries the standard mattress sizes: king, queen, full, twin, and twin XL. For couples, king, queen and full mattresses are great options, while twin and twin XL are ideal for single sleepers or kids.
Bases & Foundations
Adjustable Base
An adjustable base can raise the head or foot of your mattress to create comfortable positions for sleeping, working, or watching TV. Using an adjustable base has a slew of additional health benefits such as pain relief and increased circulation.
Box Spring
A box spring is the most standard type of mattress foundation, typically made of a wooden frame and slats covered with fabric. Box springs prevent the mattress from sagging, and are 5” or 9” tall. Box springs also require a bed frame to sit on top of.
Platform Beds
Platform beds are made up of a solid platform or slats that a mattress sits on directly. Platforms provide a firm, supportive sleeping surface and are lower to the ground, which makes it easier to get in and out of. They can be a stylish alternative to a bed frame.
Pillow Options
Back Sleepers
The best pillow for back sleepers have medium support to allow the head to lay flat and not at an angle. Contouring yet firm pillows are the best option for back sleepers.
Side Sleepers
The best pillows for side sleepers are thick, firm pillows to support the neck and shoulder area.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers would benefit from a narrow, soft pillow to keep their head in the right position. Stomach sleeping can sometimes cause neck or back strain and a soft yet supportive pillow can help minimize that.
Memory foam pillows
Memory foam pillows contour the head and provide support to keep the neck and spine aligned. Memory foam pillows can be a great choice for all types of sleepers.
Pillows for neck pain
If you’re experiencing neck pain, your pillow could be to blame. Make sure your pillow is providing the right kind of support for your sleeping style. A pillow that is too worn out and flat can’t support your head and neck properly, so a new pillow with the right cushion and support may be in order.
Sheet Options
Hyper-Cotton
Cotton sheets provide softness and comfort, but are breathable and long-lasting. Cotton sheets are popular and easy to care for. In fact, they’ll only get softer over time.
Dri-Tec
Do you get hot while you sleep? Check out Dri-Tec sheets that are made with the same technology that keeps you cool during workouts. Never wake up in a puddle of sweat again with these cooling sheets. Dri-Tec sheets are also extra stretchy, making them ideal to flex with your mattress when you have an adjustable base.
Flannel
Great for colder climates, flannel sheets combine extra softness with durability (and fun patterns!). Keep an extra set of flannel sheets for the winter months to make your bed extra warm and cozy.
Microfiber
Soft yet strong, microfiber sheets are great at preventing wrinkles and help retain body heat. Their tight microfiber weave makes them extremely durable so these sheets will last a long time.
Satin
Cool to the touch, smooth, and luxurious feeling, satin is ideal for warm sleepers. Satin sheets are also known to accumulate less dust mites than other sheets, making them ideal for allergy sufferers.
