Size

Standard sizes like Twin or Full are usually less expensive than bigger sizes like Queen, King, or California King. Consider the size needed in your area and how many will be using the bed when budgeting, do you really need that California King?

Durability and Lifespan

High-quality mattresses last the longest, so consider the material involved in your mattress so you won’t have to keep replacing them regularly. Of course, higher quality mattresses come at a higher price point, so balance your budget wisely; looking at synthetic foam mattresses may be a better option.

Material Quality

The material quality of a mattress tends to determine most of its price. Mattresses built with high-quality materials such as memory foam, natural latex, or a hybrid mattress will be more expensive, but of course quality materials come at a premium.

Specific Health Conditions
