Frequently Asked Questions about mattresses

Why can mattresses be so expensive?

There are 3 reasons:

1) OVERHEAD. At mattress master we keep the overhead to a minimum, giving you higher quality at a lower price.

2) PERCEPTION. A mattress is a personal investment in YOU. The average person spends 1/3 of their life in bed, if your are not comfortable and don't get a good night's sleep, then the rest of your day will be difficult. You deserve a good quality mattress.

3) FOAM DENSITY. Foam is like a sponge. Cheaper foam has large open pores like a sponge that crush over time from weight and creates a valley that you will sink into. Higher quality foam is denser and has smaller pores, that will hold up better overtime.

What is a foam encased mattress?

A foam encased mattress has firm foam used around the entire edge of the mattress. This design allows you to use the full width of the mattress, because it will not crush down. This allows for you to move your body right to the edge when sleeping and also not crush as much when sitting up on the edge of the bed.

What is the difference between Bonnell innersprings and pocketed coils?

Bonnell innersprings are the traditional way of making mattresses, where as the springs in the mattress are all connected together. Pocketed coil springs are individually wrapped coils, which help contour to your body. Call mattress master to help with deciding which is best for you.

What are mattress Sizes

Twin, 39" x 75"

Most often used in children's rooms and guest bedrooms. Also used for daybeds, trundle units, and hideaways. It's a narrow bed that's easy to make and can fit almost anywhere. Width per person: 39 inches.

Twin XL, 39" x 80"

Generally used in college dorm rooms, 5" longer than a standard twin. Limited bedding options. Width per person: 39 inches.

Full (Double), 54" x 75"

A good option for a guest room or as a child's step-up mattress. 15" wider than a twin bed, but only 75" long which may be too short for some adults. Not much room for 2 adults (each will have only 27" of width vs. 39" in a twin bed). Width per person: 54 inches (or 27 inches each).

Full XL, 54" x 80"

Good for one person sleep or a guest room, 5" longer than a full bed. Limited bedding options. Width per person: 54 inches (or 27 inches each).

Queen, 60" x 80"

Most popular bed size in the US, a good choice for guest rooms and smaller master bedrooms, 6" wider and 5" longer than a full bed. Each adult has 9" less than the width of a standard twin bed. Width per person: 30 inches each.

King (Eastern King), 76" x 80"

Good for two-person sleep, 16" wider than a queen bed. The eastern king is the only bed to give each person the same width as a twin bed. In fact, you can push 2 extra-long twin beds together to be the same size as an eastern king. This is a good way to have a versatile guest room (use 2 twins separately or push together to make a king bed for couples). Comes with two half-width box springs to be more manageable when moving. Width per person: 38 inches each.

California King (Western King), 72" x 84"
