Key Takeaways

  • Most shoppers spend under two minutes on a mattress before deciding. Two minutes is long enough to notice that a bed is different from your old one, and not nearly long enough to learn whether it actually supports you.
  • Bring your own pillow. Your pillow sets your head and neck angle, and testing a mattress on an unfamiliar pillow changes the result more than almost anything else you can control.
  • Lie down in the position you genuinely sleep in, not the polite flat-on-your-back pose almost everyone defaults to in a store.
  • Firmness and support are two different things. A surface can feel firm in the first thirty seconds and still let your hips sink out of alignment ten minutes later.
  • Couples should test separately first and then together, because the roll-together and motion-transfer questions only show up with two bodies on the bed.
  • The base underneath matters. A great mattress on the wrong foundation behaves like a worse mattress, and in some cases the wrong base affects warranty coverage.
  • A showroom can answer support, pressure relief, motion and edge questions in one visit. It cannot fully answer temperature, which is why a real at-home trial period matters.

There is a moment that happens in almost every mattress store. A shopper walks in, gets pointed toward a row of beds, sits on the corner of the first one, presses it with a hand, lies back for about forty seconds, stands up and says "that one's nice." Then they do it again on the next bed. And the next. By the fifth mattress, everything feels vaguely the same, the labels have blurred together, and the decision quietly turns into a coin flip between whichever two beds happen to be in front of them.

That is not a failure of willpower or attention. It is what happens when nobody tells you how to test a mattress. Lying down on a bed sounds like the most intuitive thing in the world, which is exactly why it is so easy to do badly. There is a method to it, and the method is not complicated, but it is different from what most people do instinctively.

If you are looking for the best mattress showroom Katy TX has within a short drive, the single most valuable thing you can bring with you is not a budget or a brand shortlist. It is a plan for what you are going to do once you are lying down. This guide is that plan: what to bring, how to position yourself, how long to stay there, what you are trying to feel, what you can learn in a room and what you genuinely cannot, and which questions are worth asking before you decide. It works whether you visit our Katy showroom on Kingsland Blvd, the Richmond store, or the Rosenberg showroom.

Why a Two-Minute Lie-Down Tells You Almost Nothing

The instinct to test quickly comes from a reasonable place. You do not want to look indecisive, you do not want to hold anyone up, and lying on a bed in public feels slightly strange for the first minute. So people rush. And rushing is the reason so many mattress purchases end in regret that has nothing to do with the quality of the mattress.

The first thirty seconds are measuring novelty, not comfort

When you lie down on any mattress that is different from the one you have been sleeping on, the first thing your body registers is the difference itself. If your current bed sags, a firm bed feels dramatically supportive. If your current bed is rock hard, almost anything with a plush top feels luxurious. That first reaction is genuinely useful information about your old mattress, and almost useless information about the new one. What you are feeling is contrast, and contrast fades.

Your muscles need time to stop bracing

There is a physical reason the early seconds mislead you. When you lie down somewhere unfamiliar, your muscles hold a small amount of tension. You are slightly braced, slightly supporting your own weight. It takes several minutes for that tension to release and for your body to actually settle into the surface. Only after it settles can you tell whether the mattress is holding your spine in a reasonable line or letting a section of you drop.

This is why the advice to lie down for ten minutes is not a sales tactic designed to keep you in the store. Ten minutes is roughly the point at which you stop testing the surface and start testing the support. It is also long enough for the pressure points to speak up, which is the thing you most want to know.

What showroom blur is and why it happens

Showroom blur is the state where you have tried six or seven mattresses and can no longer tell them apart. It is caused by testing too many beds too quickly, and it is the single most common reason people leave a store without buying or buy something they are unsure about. The fix is narrowing before testing rather than testing to narrow. Two or three genuine finalists tested thoroughly will always produce a better decision than eight beds sampled for a minute each. Our mattress guide and comparison page are both designed to do that narrowing before you arrive.

Before You Leave the House

A good showroom visit starts at home, about ten minutes before you walk out the door. None of this takes preparation in any serious sense, but each item meaningfully improves the quality of what you learn.

Know what is wrong with the bed you have now

The most useful sentence you can say to anyone helping you is a specific complaint. Not "my mattress is old" but "I wake up with a sore lower back about four mornings a week," or "I am hot from about two in the morning onward," or "I feel my partner every time they turn over." Specific complaints map directly onto specific mattress characteristics. Vague complaints map onto nothing, and the conversation defaults to price and brand, which are the two least useful starting points.

If you are not sure whether your current mattress is even the problem, it is worth reading about how long a mattress typically lasts and the signs that it is time to replace it before you shop. Sometimes the answer is a new mattress. Sometimes it is a failing foundation underneath a perfectly good mattress.

Bring your own pillow

This is the highest-value thing on the list and the one almost nobody does. Your pillow determines the angle of your head and neck, which determines where your shoulders sit, which changes how the whole upper half of your body loads the mattress. Testing beds on a showroom pillow that is taller or flatter than yours will systematically skew every impression you form. Bring the pillow you actually sleep on. If your pillow is also past its useful life, that is worth knowing too, and worth handling separately rather than letting a worn-out pillow cast a vote on a mattress. You can look at pillow options after the mattress decision, not before.

Dress like you are going to lie down

Stiff jeans, a belt, a heavy jacket and shoes all change how your body settles and how much of the surface you can feel. Comfortable clothes are not a small detail. Neither is taking your shoes off, which good showrooms expect and encourage.

Measure the room and the doorway before you shop

Size decisions are much harder to reverse than comfort decisions. Before you leave, measure the bedroom, measure the walking space you want on each side, and measure the tightest point on the path the mattress will travel: the front door, the hallway turn, the stairwell, the bedroom door. Our mattress size guide covers the dimensions, and we have written a full walkthrough on measuring whether a mattress will fit through your doorway. Nothing sours a new mattress faster than discovering on delivery day that it will not make the turn at the top of the stairs.

How to Lie Down So the Test Means Something

Here is where most of the value is. The physical act of testing a mattress has a correct form, and it is not the form most people use.

Start in your real sleeping position

Almost everyone lies flat on their back with their hands folded on their stomach, because that is the socially acceptable way to lie on furniture in a store. Very few people sleep that way. If you are a side sleeper, roll onto your side within the first fifteen seconds and stay there. If you sleep on your stomach, get on your stomach. If you start on your side and finish on your back, do both. You are not testing a mattress in the abstract, you are testing it against the way your body will actually be arranged for the next seven hours, and different positions load a mattress in completely different places.

The hand-under-the-lower-back check

Lie on your back, let yourself settle, then slide a flat hand into the gap between your lower back and the mattress. If your hand slides in with no resistance and there is real space there, the mattress is not filling your lumbar curve and your lower back is unsupported. If you cannot get your hand in at all and your hips feel like they are sitting in a hollow, the bed is probably too soft for you and your pelvis is dropping. What you want is a snug fit: contact, light pressure, no gap and no hollow. It takes five seconds and it is more informative than any label.

The shoulder-and-hip check for side sleepers

Side sleeping is the most common position and the most demanding one, because your shoulder and hip stick out further than the rest of you. Lie on your side and pay attention to two things. First, does your shoulder feel like it is being pressed into your body, or is the mattress letting it sink in enough to relieve it? Second, is your waist supported, or is there a gap under it because your shoulder and hip have not sunk in evenly? A bed that handles side sleeping well lets the shoulder and hip in while still holding up the middle. You can feel it. The back and pressure relief selection exists largely because of how often this specific test decides the outcome.

How long to actually stay there

Ten minutes per finalist is the target. Fifteen is better for the bed you are leaning toward. That sounds excessive until you consider that you are choosing where you will spend roughly a third of the next several years. Put your phone away or set a timer, close your eyes, and let your body do the evaluating. The uncomfortable social feeling passes after the first minute, and the people helping you would far rather you took fifteen minutes now than came back disappointed later.

The 12-Step In-Store Mattress Test

If you want a single sequence to follow, this is it. It takes about half an hour for two or three finalists and it covers everything a showroom can realistically tell you.

  1. Describe the problem first. Tell whoever is helping you the specific complaint about your current sleep, your position, your budget range and anything you already know you do or do not like. This narrows the floor from dozens of beds to a handful.
  2. Narrow to three finalists before you lie down. Testing three beds properly beats testing eight beds badly. Ask to have the shortlist pointed out and ignore the rest of the room for now.
  3. Take your shoes off and use your own pillow. Set up the test the way your bed is set up at home.
  4. Lie down in your real sleeping position. Side, back or stomach, whichever is genuinely yours.
  5. Stay for ten minutes without talking. Let the bracing release. This is the step everyone skips and the step that matters most.
  6. Run the hand-under-the-back check. Look for contact with no gap and no hollow.
  7. Change positions deliberately. Roll from side to back to side. Notice whether turning over is easy or whether you have to climb out of a depression to do it.
  8. Sit on the edge for thirty seconds. This is the part of the bed you use every single day to put on socks, and it is often the first part to break down. It should hold your weight without collapsing away under you.
  9. Test with your partner if you have one. Lie down together, then have one person turn over while the other stays still and pays attention to how much of it they feel.
  10. Try the adjustable base, even if you think you do not want one. Two minutes with your head and knees slightly raised answers a question most people never even ask. You can browse adjustable bases ahead of time.
  11. Ask the after-purchase questions. Comfort guarantee, price protection, delivery, setup, warranty process. The answers are part of the value of the bed.
  12. Re-test your top two back to back. Five minutes on one, five minutes on the other, immediately after each other. Direct comparison is far more reliable than remembered comparison.

Why the order matters

The sequence is built to fight showroom blur. Narrowing comes before testing, the long lie-down comes before the detail checks, and the head-to-head comparison comes last while both beds are fresh in your body rather than in your memory. Reversing any of those tends to produce a fuzzier decision.

How to keep notes without overthinking it

You do not need a spreadsheet. One line per bed on your phone is plenty: the name, and one word for how your lower back felt and one word for how your shoulder felt. That is enough to prevent the two finalists from merging into one vague impression by the time you are back in the car.

Reading Firmness Without Trusting the Word on the Tag

Firmness is the most discussed and least reliable specification in the entire category. Understanding why saves a lot of confusion.

Firmness is a feel, support is a job

Firmness describes what the top surface does in the first moments of contact. Support describes whether the mattress keeps your spine in a reasonable line once you have settled. They are produced by different parts of the mattress, and they are not correlated the way people assume. A bed can have a firm surface and weak support, which feels hard at first and then lets your hips drop. A bed can have a plush surface and strong support, which feels soft immediately and still holds your alignment all night. Only the second combination is comfortable at four in the morning.

Why the same label feels different on two beds

There is no industry standard behind the word "medium firm." It is not a measurement, and each manufacturer applies it to its own range. Two mattresses both labelled medium firm can feel meaningfully different from each other, and both labels are honest. More importantly, firmness is relative to the weight pressing on it, so the same bed will feel firmer to a lighter person and softer to a heavier one. This is why comparing labels between beds is close to meaningless and comparing how two beds feel under your own body is definitive. If you want to start from a feel rather than a label, our soft, medium and firm selections group beds by the feel our coaches confirm in the showroom.

Comfort layer depth changes everything

One useful thing to ask about is how deep the comfort layers are before you reach the support core. A shallow comfort layer over a firm core gives you a supportive bed with limited pressure relief, which suits many back sleepers and frustrates most side sleepers. A deeper comfort layer gives the shoulder and hip somewhere to go. This is the difference you are feeling when a bed "cradles" versus "holds you up," and it is a construction question rather than a firmness question. You can see how it plays out across hybrid mattresses and memory foam mattresses, which take noticeably different approaches to it.

Testing as a Couple When You Do Not Agree

Couples shopping together produce the hardest showroom decisions, and also the ones where a proper test helps most, because the two main problems are both things you can feel in ten minutes.

Test separately first, then together

Do individual tests before joint ones. If you lie down together from the start, you will each unconsciously adjust to the other person and you will both end up describing a compromise rather than your actual preference. Test alone, note your own reaction, then lie down together and see what changes.

The roll-together and motion-transfer test

Two specific tests are worth running on every bed a couple is considering. For roll-together, lie side by side with a small gap between you and pay attention to whether you gradually drift toward each other. For motion transfer, one person lies still with their eyes closed while the other turns over, gets up and lies back down. The still person reports how much they felt. These two results decide more couple purchases than firmness does, and neither one can be read off a label. The selection built around couples is organised around exactly these problems.

Split options and dual-comfort setups

If you genuinely want different feels, say so early rather than treating it as an impasse. There are real answers, including split configurations that let each side be set up independently, and they are much easier to understand with a coach walking you through them on the floor than to reason about in the abstract. It is worth asking before you compromise on a single feel that neither of you loves.

Pressure Relief and Support: What You Can Feel in the Room

Pressure relief is the reason side sleepers wake up with numb arms and sore shoulders, and it is very testable in person.

Where pressure shows up first

Pay attention to the shoulder, the hip and the outside of the knee if you sleep with your legs stacked. Those are the points that carry the most load per square inch. If any of them feels like a hot spot after eight or nine minutes, that sensation will not improve overnight. It will be the thing that wakes you up. Noticing it in the showroom is the entire point of staying on the bed long enough.

The alignment test with a partner or a coach watching

Alignment is one of the few things easier to check from outside than inside. Lie on your side in your normal position and have someone look along the length of your spine from behind. They are looking for a reasonably straight line from neck to tailbone. A dip at the waist means the hips are sinking too far. A rise at the waist means the mattress is too firm to let your shoulder and hip in. It takes ten seconds and it removes a lot of guesswork.

Using a body scan to shorten the list

If you would rather start from data than from browsing, our showrooms include a ScanFit body scan that builds a quick profile and produces a shortlist of beds matched to how you actually distribute weight and where you need pressure relief. It does not replace lying down, and it is not meant to. What it does is get you to three sensible finalists in a few minutes instead of wandering the floor, which is exactly the narrowing step that prevents showroom blur. You can also book a free consultation if you would rather talk it through before you test anything.

Temperature: What a Showroom Can and Cannot Tell You

Honesty is more useful than optimism here, because sleeping hot is one of the most common complaints and one of the hardest things to verify in a store.

What ten minutes of surface contact does show

You can learn something real in a showroom. Some surfaces feel cool to the touch and stay that way. Some noticeably warm up under your body within a few minutes. Some trap your shoulder and hip in a way that reduces airflow around you. All of that is genuine signal, and if a bed is already warming up in ten minutes in an air-conditioned room, that is worth taking seriously.

What only your own bedroom can answer

What a showroom cannot reproduce is a full night, under your own sheets and comforter, in your own room, at your own thermostat setting, with your own body running its own overnight temperature curve. Heat builds over hours, not minutes. Anyone who tells you they can guarantee how a mattress will sleep for you temperature-wise based on ten minutes in a store is overselling. This is precisely the gap that an at-home comfort guarantee is designed to cover, which is why it is worth understanding the terms before you buy rather than after. If cooling is your primary complaint, start from the cooling mattress selection and tell your coach that it is the deciding factor.

Bedding is part of the temperature system

One thing worth knowing before you blame a mattress: a heavy mattress protector or a dense sheet set can undo a genuinely breathable bed. If you are troubleshooting heat, the whole stack matters, including the protector and the sheets. It is a cheap thing to check and it occasionally solves the problem outright.

Do Not Skip the Base, the Frame and the Foundation

The mattress gets all the attention and roughly a third of the support decisions happen underneath it.

The base is part of the support system

A mattress is engineered to be held up evenly. Put it on a base that flexes in the middle, or on slats spaced too far apart, and it will conform to that base over time. The result looks and feels exactly like a mattress that has failed early, and the mattress is usually not the thing that failed. If you are keeping your existing frame, it is worth describing it honestly in the showroom, including how many slats it has and whether it has a centre support leg. Our foundations and bed frames exist partly to prevent this exact problem.

Try the adjustable base before you decide you do not want one

Adjustable bases are consistently the thing shoppers dismiss before trying and change their mind about after. Two minutes with your head raised slightly and your knees lifted answers questions about reflux, snoring, lower back pressure and reading in bed that are very hard to answer any other way. You do not have to buy one. It is worth the two minutes. Browse the adjustable base range so you know what to ask to see.

Slats, centre support and what voids a warranty

Ask directly what support the mattress you are considering requires, because manufacturer warranties commonly specify it. Maximum slat spacing and a centre support requirement on larger sizes are the two most frequent conditions, and using a base that does not meet them can affect a later claim. This is a two-minute conversation that occasionally saves a lot of money. Our warranty page explains how the process works, and we have a longer explainer on what mattress warranties actually cover.

Questions Worth Asking in the Showroom

The quality of a showroom visit depends a lot on the questions asked in it. These are the ones that reliably produce useful answers.

Questions about the mattress itself

How deep are the comfort layers before the support core? What is the support core built from? How does this bed handle side sleeping compared with the one next to it? What kind of shopper does this bed usually disappoint? That last question is the most revealing one on the list, and a good coach will answer it straight.

Questions about what happens after you buy

How long do I have to sleep on it at home, and what happens if it is wrong? Is that an exchange or something else? Is there price protection if the same bed is advertised cheaper later? Our 365-day price guarantee covers the second question, and every showroom carries a comfort guarantee of up to 365 nights at home, with the specific terms worth confirming with the team for the bed you are buying. We also cover the practical side of that in our article on how a comfort exchange actually works.

Questions about delivery and setup

Ask what the delivery options are, whether setup in the room is included, and what happens to your old mattress. There are doorstep and full setup options, and the details are laid out on our delivery and pickup page. Ask about financing at the same time if it is relevant, because it changes which beds are realistically on your list. Our financing options include zero percent plans with approved credit.

The Katy Showroom Path: What Actually Happens When You Walk In

Knowing the shape of the visit takes most of the friction out of it.

Where the Katy store is and when to go

The Katy showroom is at 23233 Kingsland Blvd, Suite A, just south of I-10, and it is open seven days a week. If you want unhurried time on the beds, a weekday or an early weekend slot is easier than a Saturday afternoon. You can walk in, and you can also book a time, which guarantees a coach is free to work through the whole sequence with you rather than splitting attention across the floor.

What a guided fitting looks like

A good fitting is mostly the coach asking questions and then getting out of your way while you lie down. It starts with your sleep complaint, moves to a shortlist, optionally includes a body scan, and then becomes you testing two or three beds properly with someone available to answer questions and watch your alignment. Our team members are Certified Sleep Science Coaches, and the useful part of that training is diagnostic rather than promotional. You should expect to be asked more than you are told.

If Katy is not your closest showroom

Katy is one of three showrooms and the right one depends on where you are starting from. Shoppers coming from the Cinco Ranch and Fulshear side generally find Katy closest, while Sugar Land, Missouri City and Rosenberg traffic often lands at Richmond or Rosenberg, which is a full-line showroom with the same brands and the same guarantees and is moving to a new address soon, so it is worth calling ahead. All three carry the same lineup, so the test protocol in this guide works identically at any of them. See the full store locations page, or the service-area pages for Sugar Land, Fulshear and Cinco Ranch.

Mistakes That Send Shoppers Home With the Wrong Mattress

Almost every regretted mattress purchase traces back to one of a small number of avoidable patterns.

Shopping tired, hungry or in a hurry

When you are exhausted, every mattress feels wonderful, because lying down feels wonderful. When you are rushed, you skip the ten-minute lie-down, which is the only step that cannot be skipped. Go when you have an hour and are reasonably rested.

Buying the bed that felt best in the first five minutes

First impressions favour plushness, because plushness is immediately pleasant. Support reveals itself later. The bed that feels most luxurious in the first minute is quite often not the bed that feels best in the tenth, and it is the tenth minute that predicts your mornings.

Letting price lead the whole conversation

Budget is a legitimate and important constraint, and it belongs in the conversation early so nobody wastes time. What it should not do is become the only axis. Starting with "what is on sale" tends to produce a bed chosen by coincidence. Starting with "here is my problem, and here is my range" produces a bed chosen on purpose. If the right bed sits slightly outside your range, ask about payment options before you rule it out.

Treating the trial period as a safety net for a rushed decision

An at-home comfort guarantee is genuinely valuable and it is not a substitute for testing properly. Exchanging a mattress is a process, and it costs you weeks of mediocre sleep before it resolves. The guarantee exists to cover what a showroom honestly cannot answer, mainly temperature and the way comfort settles over months. It is not there to rescue a forty-second decision.

After the Showroom: Trial, Delivery and the First Few Weeks

The decision continues briefly after you buy, and a little patience protects it.

Give the new bed a real adjustment window

A new mattress usually feels firmer than it did in the store for the first couple of weeks, partly because the materials settle slightly and mostly because your body has spent years adapting to the shape of your old bed. Some initial strangeness is normal and expected. Genuine pain that is getting worse rather than better is not, and that is worth a call. We covered this in detail in our guide to breaking in a new mattress.

Protect the mattress from day one

A protector is the cheapest insurance in the category. Most manufacturer warranties exclude stains, and a single accident can end coverage on an otherwise valid claim. Put a protector on before the first night, not after the first spill.

Keep your paperwork

Keep your invoice and any product documentation somewhere you will find it in four years. Warranty claims start with proof of purchase, and the model and serial details matter. Our FAQ page covers the common questions, and you can always contact the team directly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Testing a Mattress in a Showroom

How long should I lie on a mattress in the store?

Aim for ten minutes per finalist and closer to fifteen on the bed you are leaning toward. That is roughly how long it takes for your muscles to stop bracing and for pressure points to make themselves known. Under about five minutes you are mostly measuring how different the bed is from your current one, which tells you more about your old mattress than your new one.

What should I bring when I go mattress shopping?

Your own pillow first, because it sets your head and neck angle and changes everything above your waist. Then comfortable clothes you can lie down in, the measurements of your bedroom and the tightest doorway or stair turn on the delivery path, and a clear description of what is wrong with your current sleep. If you are buying with a partner, bring the partner, because two of the most important tests need two people.

Can I really tell if a mattress is right in one visit?

You can answer most of it. Support, alignment, pressure relief, edge strength, ease of turning over and motion transfer are all testable in a single well-run visit. What you cannot fully resolve in a room is how the bed sleeps over a full night at your own thermostat setting and how the comfort settles over months. That is the part an at-home comfort guarantee is for.

Should I test a mattress with my partner or alone?

Both, in that order. Test alone first so you form your own honest impression without unconsciously adjusting to the other person, then test together to check roll-together and motion transfer. Those two joint tests decide a large share of couple purchases and neither can be read off a spec sheet.

Do I need an appointment to test mattresses at a showroom?

No, walk-ins are welcome at all three Mattress On Demand showrooms. Booking is still worth it if you want the full sequence, because it guarantees a Certified Sleep Science Coach is free to work through the shortlist, the body scan and your finalists without splitting attention across the floor. Weekday and early weekend times are the quietest.

Can a showroom tell me whether a mattress will sleep cool?

Partly. Ten minutes of body contact will show you whether a surface stays cool to the touch or noticeably warms up, and that is real information worth acting on. What it cannot reproduce is a full night under your own bedding in your own room, because heat builds over hours. If sleeping hot is your main complaint, say so at the start so the shortlist is built around it, and make sure you understand the at-home guarantee terms before you buy.

What if the mattress feels wrong after a few weeks at home?

Give it a genuine adjustment window first, because a new bed commonly feels firmer than it did in the store for the first week or two while the materials settle and your body unlearns the shape of your old mattress. If it is still wrong after that, or if it is getting worse rather than better, contact the showroom. Every purchase carries a comfort guarantee of up to 365 nights at home, and our team will walk you through what the options are for your specific bed.

Is it worth driving to a showroom if I already know what I want?

Usually yes, and the reason is that firmness labels are not standardised and are relative to your body weight. A bed you have read a great deal about can feel meaningfully different under you than it did under the person who reviewed it. Twenty minutes confirming it in person is cheap compared with discovering the mismatch after delivery. If you do already have a shortlist, bring it, and the visit will be short and focused.

Where to Start

If you take one thing from this guide, make it the ten-minute rule. Narrow to two or three beds, use your own pillow, lie down the way you actually sleep, and stay there long enough for your body to settle. Everything else in this article is a refinement of that one habit.

For a starting point before you visit, the hybrid selection is where most shoppers who want support with pressure relief end up, the memory foam selection suits shoppers who want more contouring and less bounce, and adjustable bases are worth two minutes of your visit even if you arrived certain you did not want one. You can browse the full mattress range or the pocketed coil selection if you want to understand the construction differences before you arrive.

Visit the Mattress On Demand showroom in Katy, Richmond or Rosenberg and give yourself time to lie down on each finalist for a full ten minutes in your real sleeping position, because the only reliable way to test a mattress is to feel it with your own body instead of reading about how it felt to someone else.

If you would rather have the shortlist built for you before you arrive, book a showroom visit or start with a free consultation, and we will have two or three genuine finalists ready when you walk in. If you are still narrowing at home, our small bedroom size guide and teen mattress size guide are both good places to keep reading.
