Before purchasing a mattress, it's important that you and your partner take The SLEEP test to help ensure that you are selecting a mattress that's right for your comfort and space needs. Here's how you take the SLEEP TEST.

• SELECT Select a mattress.

• LIE DOWN in your sleep position.

• EVALUATE the level of comfort and support.

• EDUCATE yourself about each selection.

• PARTNERS should shop together.

Don't be embarrassed! You don't think twice about test driving a car, so you shouldn't think twice about "sleep testing" a mattress. Lie down on the mattress for several minutes and assess how well it provides support and how comfortable it is for you and your partner. The only way to tell if a mattress is right for you is to lie down on it!
