<ul class="summary-list"><li>Panic is in the air after reports of a bedbug infestation in Paris.</li><li>I've lived in New York City for 34 years, and have had the abysmal misfortune of getting bedbugs four times.</li></ul><p>In the summer of 2018, I woke up in the middle of the night to find a tiny bug sitting on my pillow, staring at me. I yelped, squashed it with a tissue, and took a closer look. </p><p>Yep, it was a bedbug. </p><p>This was not my first go-around with the bloodsucking crawlers. In the 34 years I've lived in New York City, I've been unlucky enough to make this stomach-dropping discovery four separate times in three different apartments. </p><p>The first time, I refused to believe it was true until the bedbug-sniffing dog had a field day in my bedroom. The second time, I found a bug behind my bed on Valentine's Day. The third time, a new roommate moved in with them. The summer of 2018 was the fourth time — and I'm not so naive to think it will be the last.</p><p>The bugs themselves are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/bedbugs/faqs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mostly harmless</a> — they don't spread disease, and their bites generally don't cause serious health problems. But there is a unique and acute paranoia that accompanies a bedbug experience. Each time, for days and weeks after they were gone, every bodily sensation and speck of dirt sent me into a spiral, convinced they had returned.</p><p>More recently, I started having dreams about them again after reading about Paris's apparent infestation. <strong> </strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><div type="image" title="A bedbug-sniffing dog named Thunder sits down in front of a movie theater seat, indicating the presence of a bug." height="2667" width="4000" msid="104563246" hostid="261" sizebytes="1642792"></div><p>Amid Fashion Week in the French capital, reports emerged of sightings in <a href="https://www.insider.com/paris-battles-infestation-of-bloodsucking-bedbugs-in-cinemas-airports-2023-9">movie theaters, trains, and even Charles-de-Gaulle Airport</a>. Videos appeared to show the tiny brown bugs on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9cdvEH_LkU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">public transportation</a>, and man-on-the-street interviews reflected creeping hysteria. "I paid close attention while stepping on the train today, to see if there were crawlers on my seat," one commuter <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPPG9LNcOWE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.  </p><p>French officials haven't done much to tamp down the fear, and sightings have been reported in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/07/france-closes-seven-schools-over-bedbug-infestations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other French cities</a>. "No one is immune," Emmanuel Grégoire, the deputy mayor of Paris, <a href="https://twitter.com/egregoire/status/1707641310130118827" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> ominously in late September. </p><p>Now, residents of the UK and US are wondering if they're next. It's understandable: Bedbugs suck — in more ways than one — and the thought of them making their way across the Atlantic in thousands of Away carry-ons can make your skin itch. But let me be the first to assure you: The bedbugs are <em>already</em> here. They've been here for a long time. And they're going to stay a while.</p><p>Here's what I've learned from my time in the bedbug trenches — and remember, don't panic.  </p><h2><strong>Prevention is key, but bedbugs are mostly just bad luck</strong></h2><p>The best way to deal with bedbugs is to avoid getting them altogether. </p><p>They love to hitch rides in used furniture and clothing. High heat is the single best way to kill live bugs and eggs, so if you buy clothes from a thrift store, throw them in a dryer for 30 minutes to an hour when you get home. If you find upholstered or even wooden furniture — yes, they can make a home in those crevices, too — on the street, I suggest leaving it there, no matter how nice it might look in your living room. (Metal furniture is a safer bet, although it's not immune.) Don't even think about getting a used mattress.</p><div type="image" title="A sign reading &quot;bed bugs&quot; looms above a mattress abandoned in Marseille." height="5504" width="8256" msid="104563249" hostid="261" sizebytes="1894856"></div><p>Bedbugs are enthusiastic travelers, and they can crawl into your suitcase in a hotel room or Airbnb. But if you're worried about bringing bedbugs back from, say, Paris, there are some things you can do to protect yourself. </p><p>Lou Sorkin, a bedbug expert and entomologist who worked at the American Museum of Natural History for more than 40 years, told Insider you might want to keep your suitcase in the bathtub.</p><p>"Suitcases are best not to be placed on furniture or on the bed," he said. "If bedbugs are in the room, they may crawl over onto anything placed on the bed. That could happen on the smaller sofas and upholstered chairs, too."</p><p>When you get home, Sorkin said, isolate your suitcase and throw all your clothes in the dryer for an hour. </p><p>Still, even if you do everything right, sometimes bedbugs make their way into your home anyway. They are just as likely to infest fancy new homes as older residences, and they like immaculate spaces as much as messy ones.</p><p>Sometimes, you just get screwed — your neighbor gets them, you bring one home on the train, God decides to smite you — and it's no one's fault. </p><h2><strong>Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wait them out</strong></h2><p>If one of the scenarios I described above happens, do not engage in a battle of wills with the bugs. You will lose. </p><p>Bedbugs are scary, embarrassing, and incredibly annoying. If you suspect you have them — or, worse, find a bug — you might be compelled to wait and see if the problem simply goes away on its own. </p><p>But as Sorkin advised, "If bedbugs are found early, they're much easier to get rid of."</p><p>If you find feces (it looks like <a href="https://www.ecoguardpestmanagement.com/pest-resources/bed-bug-droppings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this</a>!) on your mattress, sheets, or bed frame, find a live or dead bug, or regularly get bites, call an exterminator for an inspection, like, immediately. Exterminators will do a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the infestation. You can even get a bedbug-sniffing dog to come in to suss out exactly where live bugs are located, which makes the experience somewhat cuter. </p><div type="image" title="Jamiro the bedbug-sniffing dog inspects a glass tube containing a bed bug." height="2000" width="3000" msid="104563250" hostid="261" sizebytes="501964"></div><p>A note on bites: Some people erupt in welts the second they sit near a bedbug. Some might have them for months and never see any evidence on their skin. The first time I lived in a place with bedbugs, my roommate was the one who called the exterminator, because she was covered with bites. I had nary a mark and smugly assumed they were only in her bed. I was wrong, and I suffered for my arrogance. </p><h2><strong>If you live in multi-dwelling housing, alert your neighbors</strong></h2><p>No one wants to do this, but I promise it's necessary. Bedbugs love to move from apartment to apartment. If you have bedbugs, it's possible your neighbors do too. You might have even gotten bedbugs from <em>them</em>, the bastards. (I'm sure your neighbors are very nice.) And if your neighbors do end up with your bedbugs, their buggies might eventually make their way back into your apartment, rendering all your mattress-flipping and clothing-heating useless. </p><p>In some places, including New York City, landlords are obligated to have adjoining apartments inspected when they have a confirmed case. I've never heard of a landlord doing this; certainly, none of my landlords did it for my neighbors. In all likelihood, you will probably have to be the one to alert your neighbors. </p><p>It's the right thing to do, obviously, but <em>not</em> doing it can bite you in the ass (literally). </p><h2><strong>Consider your treatment options carefully </strong></h2><p>Bedbugs are stressful for a lot of reasons, including the obvious one: "dozens of teeny bugs snacking on me while I sleep." </p><p>But the treatment process itself is a huge pain. Some exterminators require extensive preparation before they will treat your space, which can include bagging and heating all of your clothing, washing and heating all your bedding, moving all your furniture away from the walls, vacuuming, lifting your mattress off your bed, taking your bed frame apart, and more. It's time-consuming, exhausting, and — if you live far from a laundromat — nearly impossible.</p><div type="image" title="A pest control technician sprays insecticide under a mattress." height="2667" width="4000" msid="104563251" hostid="261" sizebytes="352890"></div><p>It's also, according to Sorkin, somewhat unnecessary and perhaps even detrimental. He told Insider that companies might not be able to treat the infestation properly if there's too much pre-treatment activity. </p><p>When you bag everything and move your belongings around, "You may be moving populations of bedbugs all over the place," he said. Indeed, when I had bedbugs the third time, my roommates and I mixed up all our stuff before the exterminators even arrived. The infestation eventually moved into my room anyway and all my work was for nothing.  </p><p>Sorkin recommended low or no-prep treatments, which might ask you to leave everything in your house as-is, or ask you to heat and bag just your bedding before exterminators show up. Once they do, they'll be able to assess what's going on and treat more precisely. (If the bugs have managed to get into every drawer and closet, you may still have to heat and bag everything — all the more reason to be vigilant and catch an infestation early!) If I <em>had</em> to do extensive prep and cleaning, either because a landlord made me use a certain exterminator or because my infestation was too extreme, I'd opt to send my stuff out via a bedbug laundry company. </p><p>Different pest control companies employ different extermination methods, and these can change depending on the nature of your infestation. Some people say <a href="https://www.terminix.com/blog/science-nature/is-heat-treatment-an-effective-way-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heat treatment</a> — which seals up your home and heats the entire property at once — is the most effective, but it's expensive and only works if you live in a single-family home. </p><div type="image" title="A person treats an apartment against bedbugs in Paris, France." height="3343" width="4899" msid="104563252" hostid="261" sizebytes="282588"></div><p>Others use a combination of pesticides, vacuuming, and cryonite, which freezes surface infestations. Sorkin recommended using Aprehend, a biopesticide that contains a bedbug-killing fungus.   </p><p>However, some landlords will opt for the cheapest treatment options. In my experience, that was a few guys showing up and barely spraying anything. This did not work, and they had to come back many times. </p><p>If you can afford it, finding your own exterminators and putting $1,500 on a credit card can be worth the time and emotional despair. (You'll likely still have to hire them through your landlord, though, even if you're the one footing the bill.)</p><h2><strong>Invest in Climb-Ups, a mattress protector, and a Packtite</strong></h2><p><a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-63744-20&amp;h=21f2f9cd83896f4ba07805da624d0cb7974c838ca78897f158c00c820077e17f&amp;postID=6530499bcb790ff8bec17392&amp;postSlug=what-to-do-if-you-have-bedbugs-paris-infestation-2023-10&amp;site=in&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FClimbup-Insect-Interceptors-Traps-55555340%2Fdp%2FB005QSM1SA%2Fref%3Dasc_df_B005QSM1SA%2F%3Ftag%3Dhyprod-20%26linkCode%3Ddf0%26hvadid%3D533363890957%26hvpos%3D%26hvnetw%3Dg%26hvrand%3D4540989483392668112%26hvpone%3D%26hvptwo%3D%26hvqmt%3D%26hvdev%3Dc%26hvdvcmdl%3D%26hvlocint%3D%26hvlocphy%3D1022762%26hvtargid%3Dpla-1393893451141%26psc%3D1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climb-Up interceptors</a> are little cups you stick under the feet of your bed; they catch bugs that fall from your mattress, so if you've got an infestation, you'll know pretty fast.</p><p>A mattress and box spring protector will keep bugs from infesting those items.

It can feel lonely and isolating. It can make you fight with the people you live with, whether they're roommates or a partner or your entire family. But a bedbug infestation is just one battle among many. </p><p>Take deep breaths, don't panic, and don't scream at anyone because they put their bug-infested pillow near the plastic bag full of clothes you just brought back from the laundromat.</p><p>And remember: You can always set fire to all your possessions and move.</p>

I've had bedbugs four times. I learned to act fast, trust the bug-sniffing dog, and invest in a mattress protector.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Baking soda and a thorough vacuum can help remove dust and odors that build up in a mattress.</li><li>A deep cleaning is needed two to four times a year, but stains should be spot treated as soon as possible.</li></ul><p>The <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-mattress">best mattress</a> is usually the coziest sanctuary in our home. Not only is a mattress<a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-mattress" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> an expensive household purchase, we also spend an astounding average of <a href="https://www.dreams.co.uk/sleep-matters-club/your-life-in-numbers-infographic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">33 years in bed</a>. But as we recharge and rest, our mattresses collect and absorb sweat, skin and hair oils, dust, pet dander, and so much more.</p><p>Despite that, we rarely take the steps necessary to keep it clean. A proper bed cleaning goes beyond the regular changing and washing of bed sheets, according to mattress experts Brian Wiersma, director of initiatives and manager of <a href="https://www.merrymaids.com/memphis/">Merry Maids Memphis</a>, and Karen Phillips-Recchia, certified bedding consultant at <a href="https://www.jeromes.com/inspire/jeromes-dream-shop">Jerome's Dream Shop</a>. The mattress itself — box spring or memory foam — also requires routine care and maintenance. </p><h2>What you need</h2><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-vacuum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vacuum</a>, plus attachments for upholstery and crevices</p></li><li><p>8-ounce box baking soda</p></li><li><p>Optional: lavender essential oil and/or dried lavender</p></li><li><p>Enzyme cleaner</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-cleaning-cloth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Microfiber cloth</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-cleaning-cloth"></a>Disinfectant wipes</p></li></ul><h2>How to clean a mattress</h2><ol><li><p><strong>Strip the bed. </strong>Remove the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-sheets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sheets</a>, shams, and mattress pad or cover and throw them all in the wash. While your <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/what-is-linen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linens</a> are washing and drying, clean the mattress.</p></li><li><strong>Prepare a baking soda mixture. </strong>Wiersma recommends a full box of baking soda — which will help deodorize — for king and queen size mattresses and half a box for full and twin sizes. Combine the baking soda with a few teaspoons of dried lavender and/or a few drops of lavender essential oil. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, you can skip the scented additions. Sprinkle across the top of the mattress and let it sit for 1 to 2 hours to fully deodorize.</li><li><strong>Thoroughly vacuum the mattress. </strong>Use the upholstery attachment to suck up the baking soda. Don't forget to vacuum along the sides of the mattress, behind the bed frame, and under the bed to help keep your entire sleeping area clean.</li><li><strong>Spot-clean and treat any visible stains.</strong> While most stains will never fully come out, many can be treated on the surface if cleaned right away, says Phillips-Recchia.</li><li><strong>Wipe down the bed frame. </strong>As the mattress dries from spot cleaning, use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the bed frame, which can collect lots of dust — especially behind the headboard.</li></ol><p><strong>Quick tip:</strong> As part of your mattress upkeep, change your bedsheets every two weeks.</p><h2><strong>How to spot treat a mattress</strong></h2><p>For blood and sweat stains, Phillips-Recchia lightly rubs them with a disinfectant wipe. If they're especially tough, Wierma recommends mixing one part dishwashing liquid with three parts hydrogen peroxide and lightly rubbing with a damp cloth.</p><p>"To treat pet stains and urine, a bacteria/enzyme digester may be necessary to deodorize the area," says Wiersma. </p><p>Adds Phillips-Recchia, "urine cannot be fully removed as a mattress is a big sponge and will soak it up. A disinfectant wipe will clean the surface stain, but not down in the foam." If frequent urination is a problem, she recommends a waterproof sheet or protector that can be regularly washed.</p><h2><strong>Do you need to rotate a mattress?</strong></h2><p>Rotating a mattress every six months is a simple way to lengthen the life of your mattress and make sure the wear isn't uneven over time. However, Wiersma says the best option is to "check your manufacturer's instructions for recommendations to make sure you rotate your mattress properly" since many modern mattresses no longer require flipping because of their <a href="https://www.insider.com/should-i-flip-my-mattress-2016-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one-sided design</a>.</p><p>Another way to extend the life of a mattress is with a <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-mattress-protector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protector</a>. Phillips-Recchia says that while many mattresses last 10 years (and others up to 25 years depending on the brand), having a protector on at all times will ultimately contribute to its longevity.</p><p>"Bodily fluids, allergens, etc can break down foams faster. A mattress can double in weight in 10 years if not protected," says Phillips-Recchia.</p><h2><strong>How often should you clean your mattress?</strong></h2><p>A bi-weekly mattress vacuuming at the same time you change your sheets can be a great way to get into the habit of regular cleanings throughout the year. As for deep cleans, Wiersma suggests two to four times a year, or every three to six months.</p><h2>When to replace a mattress</h2><p>A good mattress will help you get a night of restful sleep. If your mattress is getting noticeably saggy in certain spots, the springs are creakier than usual, or you're waking up with stiff muscles, it may be time to get find a replacement. </p><p><strong>Quick tip:</strong> The National Sleep Foundation recommends changing your mattress every six to eight years.</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RIBCzPiv4M4"></iframe></p><h2><strong>Insider's takeaway</strong></h2><p>Just like the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/how-to-wash-pillows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pillows</a>, sheets, and other items that make up our sleeping environment, mattresses require routine cleaning and care.

Pick from the best anti bed-sore mattresses available on Amazon

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The standard lifetime of a typical mattress is between 7-10 years.</li><li>How long your mattress lasts depends on several factors including how often you sleep on it, how much weight you apply to it, and what type of mattress it is.</li></ul><p>Finding the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-mattress">best mattress</a> for you can be daunting. A mattress is an important investment, as most people spend between a quarter and a third of their life in bed, and a good mattress can last you 7 to 10 years. </p><h2>How long does a mattress last? </h2><p>While most mattresses are advertised to last for 7 to 10 years, lifespan can vary, says <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/staff/3719-santhosh-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santhosh Thomas</a>, DO, MBA the medical co-director of the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Spine Health. </p><p>The following three factors are key to determining how long your mattress will likely last. </p><h3>How often do you sleep on the mattress? </h3><p>Do you sleep on your mattress every night or is it a bed in the guest room? The <a href="https://www.sleepassociation.org/mattresses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Sleep Association</a> (ASA) says that most mattresses will begin to break down once you've slept on them for about 9 years. However, a mattress may last longer if it's in a guest room or being used by a child. </p><h3>How much weight does your mattress support? </h3><p>If you're placing 250 pounds or more on your mattress each night, it may wear out faster than the standard 7 to 10 years, says <a href="https://www.hss.edu/physicians_kirschner-jonathan.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan S. Kirschner, MD, RMSK</a>, a physiatrist at the Hospital for Special Surgery. </p><p>If possible, people in these scenarios should look for beds with higher foam densities or those made with latex.</p><h3>What type of mattress do you have? </h3><p>The ASA says the type of mattress matters when it comes to how long a bed will last. </p><ul><li>Mattresses made with <strong>latex</strong>, as well as those made with <strong>polyfoam</strong> or <strong>memory foam</strong>, are more likely to last for 10 years. </li><li><strong>Innerspring beds</strong> tend to break down before the 10-year mark because the springs may lose their elasticity sooner. Innerspring mattresses typically last 4-6 years. </li><li><strong>Waterbeds </strong>and<strong> air mattresses</strong> are prone to popping, especially if you're applying 200 pounds or more to them each night. These mattress types generally last the least amount of time, just a few years.</li></ul><h2>Warning signs it's time to replace your mattress </h2><p>An old mattress isn't just uncomfortable. It can lead to health issues as well. Here are four clear signs that it's time to replace your mattress.</p><h3>Your mattress sags</h3><p>You should consider upgrading if your mattress sags, or if there are springs poking out. Sagging often appears as an imprint in the shape of your body and is a sign that the mattress materials, like springs or foam, are breaking down and no longer provide the necessary support. </p><p>If you regularly wake up with pain, especially in your neck, shoulders, hips, or back, your mattress may not be supporting you properly anymore, says Kirschner.</p><p>Sleeping on a sagging mattress can cause poor spinal alignment so if your bed feels "hammock-y," it's likely not supporting your spine or your core. You should look for a replacement.</p><h3>Your mattress is causing allergy or asthma flare-ups</h3><p>Every night, you sweat and deposit millions of skin cells onto your bed, which is a feast for bacteria and dust mites. So, over time, mattresses can easily become a breeding ground for these little pests. And for people who struggle with asthma, dust mites can be a <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/what-triggers-asthma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major trigger for asthma</a> attacks.</p><p>You can keep these uninvited guests under control if you wash your sheets regularly and use a mattress cover. In fact, for <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1034/j.1398-9995.2002.23433.x" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one study</a>, published in 2002 in the European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and conducted in Northern Norway, researchers found mite feces in 40.5% of foam mattresses that didn't have covers. </p><p>But if you find your asthma flaring up every time you go to sleep, that's a sign that it's time to either wash your sheets or replace your mattress.</p><h3>Your mattress has mold </h3><p>In addition to harboring bacteria and dust mites, your mattress may also be ready to replace if you see black spots on it, which is a sign of mold. Mold may also trigger an allergic reaction.</p><h3>Your mattress is infested with bed bugs</h3><p>Bed bugs are also an issue in mattresses, and they can be difficult to get rid of. If they make a home in your mattress, the ASA says it's time for a replacement. </p><h2>Old mattresses can disrupt your sleep</h2><p>Quality sleep is incredibly important for maintaining proper physical and mental health. Here are some of the many <a href="https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/sleep-deprivation-and-deficiency#:~:text=Sleep%20plays%20an%20important%20role,pressure%2C%20diabetes%2C%20and%20stroke." target="_blank" rel="noopener">health benefits</a> of good sleep:</p><ul><li>Reduced risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.</li><li>Improved memory due to proper brain function.</li><li>Emotional well-being and ultimately a better quality of life.</li></ul><p>Mattresses play a key role in proper sleep in part by supporting neutral spinal alignment. Neutral spine alignment is when your pelvis, rib cage, and skull are all aligned with each other. </p><p>Kirschner says that most people, <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-the-best-sleeping-position" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whether they sleep on their side, back, or stomach</a>, should attempt to maintain neutral spine alignment when they sleep. Waking up with aches and pains, or complaints about patchy sleep, are signs that you're out of alignment in the night.</p><p>In a small <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697581/#__sec11title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2009 study</a>, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, 59 people with mattresses that were 7 years or older received new bedding systems. After a month, they all showed significant improvements in sleep quality. They also reported being less stressed. </p><h2>What to look for in a new mattress</h2><p>Your preferred sleeping position will determine what type of mattress is best for you.</p><p>Many side sleepers will find a firmer surface to be more uncomfortable, since the mattress should give a bit to allow the shoulders to sink in, encouraging neutral spine alignment, says Kirschner. </p><p>Stomach and back sleepers generally prefer firmer mattresses. "But this is by no means set in stone and is highly personalized," he says. </p><p>To figure out which option is best for you, try a mattress at the store that offers a guaranteed return policy. That way, if you bring it home and it's not right, you can replace it for something that suits you more.</p><p>In the end, it's about getting the right support for your spine. For a <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09291010903557187" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small 2011 study</a> published in Biological Rhythm Research, researchers tested sleep quality among 32 participants — half slept on a new spring mattress and the other half on a new latex mattress. Both groups of participants showed a significant improvement in overall sleep, leading the researchers to conclude that the type of mattress may not matter as much as whether or not the mattress was new and supportive.</p><h2>You can prolong the life of your mattress</h2><p>To keep your mattress supportive and prevent sagging for at least 8 years, the ASA recommends rotating your bed from head-to-toe at least every few months.</p><p>"You should consider rotating the mattress when you find some disruption in your sleep or some discomfort or pain upon waking in your joints or back," Thomas says. </p><p>You might also consider using a mattress protector to keep your mattress clean and reduce dust mites. The ASA says to pay special attention to preventing wetness in your mattress, which can lead to mold or mildew. Look for a mattress protector that is waterproof and also <a href="https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-bedbug-mattress-cover.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prevents bed bugs</a>.</p><p>Thomas cautions that these symptoms can also be signs of a progression of degenerative disease. If mattress rotation doesn't solve the issue, you should consider scheduling an appointment with your doctor.</p><p>It's also worth noting that waking up with increasing stiffness is common as you age, Kirschner says, and not always a sign that you need a new mattress. "This is normal for most people until the body loosens up," he says. "A new mattress may not change that stiffness, unless it is very worn and has lost its support and cushioning."</p>

Whether you're a hot sleeper capable of sweating right through the sheets, have a little one who is prone to bedtime accidents, or are simply safeguarding your mattress from the possibility of creepy, crawly visitors, a mattress protector is key.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You'll want to be sure to buy a cover that doesn't allow liquid to seep through and keeps dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens away. It's also a good idea to get a mattress protector that's breathable. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">After all, if you end up with a stuffy cover, it won't matter how high-tech and well-ventilated your actual mattress is. A mattress protector should be protective, but also allow air to come in and out for a more comfortable night's sleep.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You'll certainly want a mattress protector that is easily cleaned, too. If accidents </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">do </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">happen, a mattress protector that you can't wash (or is a pain to wash) effectively defeats its own purpose. You want to ensure that you're always sleeping on something clean, so unless you plan on replacing your mattress protector every year or so, be sure that you get one that is easy to maintain.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, be sure to find a mattress protector that isn't difficult to sleep on. There are plenty of bad mattress protectors that tend to move around as you toss and turn, or worse yet, are noisy and frequently sound crinkly. We've researched and tested several mattress protectors to bring you our top picks. </span></p><h3><strong>Here are the best mattress protectors: </strong></h3><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Best mattress protector overall: <a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=999&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=60398&amp;afftrack=biipgf_043018_best-mattress-protectors&amp;urllink=www.bearmattress.com%2Fproducts%2Fbear-mattress-protector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bear Mattress Protector</a> </strong></li><li><strong>Best mattress protector with padding: <a href="http://casper.pxf.io/c/196318/396851/7235?subId1=biipgf043018bestmattressprotectors&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fcasper.com%2Fmattress-protector%2F&amp;subid2=1571687693284avu4nz9d0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Casper Mattress Protector</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best mattress protector for the budget-conscious: <a href="http://tuftandneedle.attfm2.net/c/196318/662499/10403?subId1=biipgf_043018_best-mattress-protectors&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuftandneedle.com%2Fprotector%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tuft and Needle Mattress Protector</a></strong></li><li>Best low-maintenance mattress protector: <a href="http://helix-sleep.tkjf.net/c/196318/605588/9928?subId1=biipgf_043018_best-mattress-protectors&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fhelixsleep.com%2Fproducts%2Fmattress-protector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Helix Mattress Protector</a></li><li>Best thin mattress protector: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYMRRXE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_043018_best-mattress-protectors-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01MYMRRXE&amp;linkId=2536ce251a214a6c562a14134deb09c2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Purple Mattress Protector</a></li></ul><p><em>Updated on 10/21/19 by Caitlin Petreycik.

Mattress</a></strong></li></ul><h2>How to pick the right mattress for you</h2><p>There are a ton of things to consider when buying a mattress, including firmness, materials, warranties, return policies, and whether to go with a direct-to-consumer mattress startup or a big-name brand. We break it down for you below:</p><p><strong>Finding the right level of firmness</strong></p><p>Before you buy, you'll want to know what level of firmness is best for you. Side sleepers tend to like medium-to-soft mattresses, while back and stomach sleepers prefer firmer mattresses.</p><p>While your first reaction might be to get the plushest mattress out there, the fact is that sometimes ultra-soft mattresses can be bad for your back. On top of that, if you're half of a couple, you'll need to take into consideration what your partner wants, too. If you've got a big budget, you can go with a high-end mattress that allows for adjustments to be made on each side of the mattress.</p><p>Look for a good return policy or a long trial period in case the mattress you thought you wanted doesn't work out for you. Mattress choice is deeply personal and varies widely from person to person.</p><p><strong>What kind of mattress do you want?</strong></p><p>There are a lot of different mattress types, but <a href="https://sleepopolis.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-mattress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sleepopolis</a> breaks them down extremely well. We've summarized each type of mattress below based on the <a href="https://sleepopolis.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-mattress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">site's expert mattress buying guide</a>: </p><ul><li><strong>Hybrid </strong>mattresses combine memory foam and latex with spring coils and other materials to appeal to a wide range of sleepers. These mattresses are great all-around options for couples.</li><li><strong>Latex foam </strong>mattresses are best known for being cooling, bouncy, and responsive.</li><li><strong>Memory Foam </strong>mattresses conform to your body's needs and offer excellent support. They're huggier than other mattresses, so they may not appeal to hot sleepers.</li><li><strong>Coil </strong>mattresses are more old-fashioned and traditional, but they're great for strong support and a long life. If you sleep on the edge, coil mattresses are good for you.</li><li><strong>Pillow-top </strong>mattresses are ideal for people who like soft, cushy mattresses. Pillow-top mattresses can have springs underneath or not, but they always have a fluffy, pillowy top for extra softness.</li><li><strong>Adjustable </strong>mattresses let you choose and alter the position and firmness of your bed and some even vibrate or massage you while you sleep. These are pricey but can be great for people with back problems.</li></ul><h2>Don't fall for big-name brands or add-ons</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://casper.pxf.io/c/196318/396851/7235?subId1=biipgf052217bestmattress&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fcasper.com%2Fmattresses%2Fcasper%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5ac79c5b4d0386d2658b4567-2400/casperb1.jpg" border="0" alt="Casper_B1" data-mce-source="Casper" /></a><p class="source"><span>Casper</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Anyone who's ever shopped for a new mattress has probably wondered why on Earth these things are so expensive. As <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/blog/why-startup-mattresses-cost-less/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Wirecutter</a> and <a href="https://www.slate.com/articles/life/shopping/2000/11/going_to_the_mattresses.single.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Slate</a> explain, it's all about marketing costs, brand recognition, crazy profit margins, and monopolies in the mattress market. In the US, you have four major brands owned by two companies: Simmons and Serta vs. Tempur-Pedic and Sealy.</p><p>Often, these companies seem to be your only choices, so you end up paying a premium and the big brands end up reaping a killer profit. However, now there are <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-online-mattress-companies-startups-casper-helix-leesa-2016-7/#helix-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dozens of mattress startups</a> out there that are direct to consumer, offer great warranties, have long return windows, and low prices. We recommend you stay away from the big names and <strong><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-online-mattress-companies-startups-casper-helix-leesa-2016-7/#helix-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">buy from one of these great startups</a></strong>.</p><p>You'll also want to consider if you want any add-ons like a mattress cover, mattress pad, sheets, and so on. In the process of buying a mattress, you'll likely be pitched all kinds of different accessories to get, and if you don't go in with a clear idea of what you want, it's easy to fall victim to those pitches and spend way more money than you thought you would. It's best to buy everything else separately, so go to the last slide in this guide to learn about our other great buying guides for bedding.</p><p><em>Updated on 02/14/2019 by Malarie Gokey: Added Presidents' day sales.</em></p><h3>Read on in the slides below to check out our top picks.</h3><p class="tagline"><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a><br><br>Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.<br><br>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insiderpicks">Insider Picks</a> team.

The best mattresses you can buy online

<ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Although a mattress topper isn't a must-have for your bed, it's one of the easiest ways to up your sleep quality and comfort.</strong></li><li><strong>We researched dozens of mattress toppers and determined that the <a href="https://amzn.to/31z4ykM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DreamFoam Bedding Gel Swirl Memory Foam Mattress Topper</a> is the one likeliest to send you off to dreamland with a smile on your face.</strong></li></ul><p>A mattress topper has the power to take your night's sleep from, "If only I had another hour," to "Wow, I feel refreshed and ready to rock!" Along with a layer of additional comfort, the right mattress topper also adds extra support, relief from pressure on your joints and spine, a new lease on life for an aging mattress, and customization of a mattress that is too firm or too soft for your liking.</p><p>While the terms "mattress topper" and "mattress pad" are often used interchangeably, they are actually slightly different. A mattress topper is purely for comfort, while a mattress protector is a thin covering that protects the mattress from fluids, dust mites, allergens, and other bed grungies. A mattress pad is somewhere between the two. It helps protect your mattress and also adds some comfort to the bed, but generally is not as thick or as dense as a mattress topper.</p><p>Because there are so many mattress toppers on the market, we've made buying one easier for you. We visited the top consumer websites, researched sleep and bedding sites, and listened to what actual mattress topper buyers had to say before narrowing down your choices to the four mattress toppers we feel are the best.</p><h2>Here are the best mattress toppers you can buy:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Best mattress topper overall: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/DreamFoam-Bedding-DF20GT2050-Memory-Topper/dp/B019J9AX04/?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_060917_best-mattress-toppers-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=a23c7844603e17a0b886635a0a60cf95&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DreamFoam Bedding Gel Swirl Memory Foam Mattress Topper</a></li><li><strong>Best featherbed mattress topper: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Super-Snooze-5-inch-Baffled-Featherbed/dp/B00HUEFLB2/?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_060917_best-mattress-toppers-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=39cca275c93fdc172a62a1c5b6329284&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Snooze Baffled Featherbed Set</a></li><li><strong>Best wool mattress topper: <a href="https://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Mattress-Pads/31555/subcat.html?featuredproduct=13308219&amp;featuredoption=22048760&amp;kid=9553000357392&amp;track=pspla&amp;ci_src=17588969&amp;ci_sku=20015538-000-000&amp;cnc=US&amp;cid=248950&amp;type=pla&amp;targetid=pla-826469685790&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA3OzvBRBXEiwALNKDP1--YmpfsNbPPmB_MfrHfrmREbaLhz9hnpH02P-ejbPkYSvTGFwyRRoCGZ8QAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;AID=11557584&amp;PID=6415797&amp;SID=1576784092144a2jv6d17q&amp;cjevent=660d9b964951ac3db24493dda900031667ecbe32fdfd98877&amp;entrytrigger=noshow&amp;exittrigger=noshow&amp;fp=F&amp;utm_source=cj&amp;utm_medium=affiliates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denali Home Collection </a></strong><a href="https://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Mattress-Pads/31555/subcat.html?featuredproduct=13308219&amp;featuredoption=22048760&amp;kid=9553000357392&amp;track=pspla&amp;ci_src=17588969&amp;ci_sku=20015538-000-000&amp;cnc=US&amp;cid=248950&amp;type=pla&amp;targetid=pla-826469685790&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA3OzvBRBXEiwALNKDP1--YmpfsNbPPmB_MfrHfrmREbaLhz9hnpH02P-ejbPkYSvTGFwyRRoCGZ8QAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;AID=11557584&amp;PID=6415797&amp;SID=1576784092144a2jv6d17q&amp;cjevent=660d9b964951ac3db24493dda900031667ecbe32fdfd98877&amp;entrytrigger=noshow&amp;exittrigger=noshow&amp;fp=F&amp;utm_source=cj&amp;utm_medium=affiliates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lambswool Mattress Pad</a></li><li><strong>Best luxury mattress topper: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-4-Inch-Mattress-Topper/dp/B00CEMH3C0/?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_060917_best-mattress-toppers-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=a76777404132a7b90f466724d58f4e35&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sleep Innovations Dual Layer Mattress Topper Set</a></li></ul><p><em>Updated on 12/19/2019 by Caitlin Petreycik: Updated prices and links. </em></p><p><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a><br /><br />Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.<br /><br />Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insiderpicks">Insider Picks</a> team.

Before making our recommendations for the best foam mattresses you can order online, we will explore what to look for as you shop.</span></p><p><strong>What to look for in a foam mattress</strong></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is no single mattress that will work well for all types of sleepers. Fortunately, most mattress brands offer a risk-free return policy. The best companies let you try out the foam mattresses for around 100 nights, and if you are not satisfied, you get a full refund. Therefore, we strongly recommend selecting a mattress that comes with a trial period.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mattresses we researched have between two and five foam layers. There is typically a thick bottom support layer meant for long-term stability and thinner upper layer(s) designed for support, comfort, and airflow for a cooler sleep. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The density of each layer is generally listed in pounds, but it's really a measurement of how heavy a cubic foot of the material is (abbreviated PCF). Basically, the denser the foam is, the more durable, high-quality, supportive, and expensive it will be. </span><a href="https://www.thesleepjudge.com/understanding-foam-densities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Sleep Judge</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> provides a more thorough explanation of how to assess quality based on foam density.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A queen-sized foam mattress typically weighs about 70 pounds when it arrives. Unless you regularly spend time hitting the weights, this is a bit much for an individual to carry on their own. We recommend getting help to carry the box, remove the mattress, and set it up.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should also keep in mind that you will not be able to use your mattress right away. Most companies recommend that you allow 72 hours for your new arrival to expand to its natural size and to release any odors, or "off-gas."</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We combed through countless buyer and expert reviews and ratings for dozens of different mattress brands while preparing this guide. The five mattresses we chose to showcase in the following slides have a strong track record for durability, comfort, support, and customer service.</span></p><h2>Here are the best foam mattresses you can buy:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Best foam mattress overall: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CYUJEHE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_031518_best-foam-mattresses-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00CYUJEHE&amp;linkId=d78242351131ac76a0d93f889dd07217" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Ultimate Dreams 12-inch Supreme Gel Memory Foam Mattress</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best foam mattress for firm support: <a href="http://tuftandneedle.attfm2.net/X9Xgg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Tuft &amp; Needle Mattress</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best foam mattress on a budget: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_031518_best-foam-mattresses-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00Q7EPSHI&amp;linkId=c557209668636d6bacd9415ebc0f43d7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Zinus Memory Foam Green Tea Mattress</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best high-end foam mattress: <a href="https://nestbedding.uxsi.net/JA02E" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Nest Bedding Alexander Signature Series Mattress</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best foam mattress for stomach sleepers: <a href="https://leesa-sleep.evyy.net/c/196318/236769/4014?subId1=biigf031518bestfoammattresses&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leesa.com%2Fproducts%2Fleesa-mattress" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Leesa Mattress</a></strong></li></ul><p><em>Updated by Caitlin Petreycik on 10/31/2019: Updated prices, links, and formatting.

There are several criteria to take into account.

All-natural materials tend to command higher prices than synthetic materials.</li><li><strong>Size: </strong>Naturally, bigger mattresses cost more. The price of a twin mattress is roughly half the cost of a king. </li><li><strong>Buying online: </strong>Purchasing a mattress online is less expensive than buying from physical stores, which usually have significant markups on mattresses.</li></ul><p>Additional factors that contribute to mattress costs:</p><ul><li><strong>Shipping costs</strong>: Although many popular bed-in-a-box brands offer free shipping.</li><li><strong>White-glove setup:</strong> This extra service can also include the removal of your old mattress.</li><li><strong>Returns:</strong>  Some warranties may place the burden of return shipping costs onto the customer.</li><li><strong>Foundations and box springs,</strong> or other necessary accessories: Some of these add-ons may be a requirement for you to enjoy for your new mattress. </li></ul><h2>Mattress costs by type</h2><p>Prices vary quite a bit among mattress types, and even within the individual mattress types there are differences in costs. Here's how it breaks down:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 148px;" border="1"><tbody><tr><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;"><strong class="headline-regular headline-bold">Type of mattress</strong></td><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;">Budget</td><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;">Mid-priced</td><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;">Luxury</td></tr><tr><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;"><strong class="headline-regular">Foam mattress</strong></td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">$450 or less</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $1,000</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $1,300</td></tr><tr><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;"><strong class="headline-regular">Innerspring mattress</strong></td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">$600 or less</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $1,000</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $1,200</td></tr><tr><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;"><strong class="headline-regular">Hybrid mattress</strong></td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">$1,100 or less</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $1,500</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $2,200</td></tr><tr><td class="headline-regular headline-bold" style="width: 20%;"><strong class="headline-regular">Latex mattress</strong></td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">$1,200 or less</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $2,000</td><td class="headline-regular" style="width: 20%;">From $2,500</td></tr></tbody></table><h3>Foam mattress costs</h3><p>Foam mattresses contain multiple layers of adaptable material that supports and contours your body. (Most bed-in-a-box brands specialize in foam mattresses.) Polyfoam, a high-density foam that degrades quickly with regular use, is typically found in budget foam mattresses. Memory foam and foam with specialty cooling materials are more durable but also more expensive.</p><h3>Innerspring mattress costs</h3><p>An innerspring mattress may be what comes to mind when you think of a traditional <keyword id="6370162" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="bed">bed</keyword>. While there's little construction-wise to distinguish today's hybrid mattresses from innerspring mattresses - both are usually made from a combination of foam and springs - many legacy mattress brands like Sleepy's, Beautyrest, and others still sell mattresses under the innerspring category. These usually denote mattresses that are a bit firmer and have the traditional bounce of a spring mattress</p><h3>Hybrid mattress costs</h3><p>Hybrid is a newer term to describe mattresses that blend foam and springs. Construction-wise, they're not all that different than today's innerspring mattresses, but they may have more layers, thicker construction, and a softer feel than what you think of with a traditional spring mattress.</p><h3>Latex mattress costs</h3><p>Latex is a more eco-friendly alternative to memory foam. However, turning latex into foam is an involved and costly process  - and that's reflected in the price. Synthetic latex is less expensive than natural latex, but many latex mattresses on the market contain a blend of man-made filler and natural materials.</p><h3>Air bed mattress costs</h3><p>Air bed mattresses allow you to adjust the firmness via air pump, which makes it perfect for couples with different sleep preferences. This level of customization does come at a premium, however. The most expensive air beds have latex or memory foam comfort layers and include a remote control so you can make adjustments easily.</p><h2>How much should I spend on a mattress?</h2><p>Based on our testing, you should expect to spend between $1,000 to $2,000 for a really great quality Queen-sized mattress that is supportive and built for long-term use. Most of our top picks fall into this range. Time and time again our experts have said you should think of a mattress as an investment; you spend about a third of your life on it, and sleep quality has the ability to impact your health and well-being. </p><p>While you can spend more, in our experience, the benefits are minimal unless you're buying a bed that is specifically engineered to solve a specific sleep problem like adjustable air beds or cooling mattresses. </p><h2>Our mattress picks by budget</h2><p>One of our favorite mid-priced mattresses is the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dreamcloudsleep.com%2Fpremier-mattress" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">DreamCloud Premier Hybrid Mattress</a>.

It's designed to keep you cool all night and provides pressure relief without that dreadful sinking feeling.

It has excellent motion transfer and cooling properties for its price; however, the tradeoff here is poor edge support.

If you have an old mattress that is sagging or lumpy, a mattress topper won't make up for the lack of support. However, the right topper can give you extra cushioning to relieve pressure points, and the right pad can correct for a bed that sleeps hot.</p><p>Arizona-based Amerisleep recently sent me their top-of-the-line Lift Mattress Topper for free to test. I was impressed with its ability to up the comfort level of my mattress and keep me cool. Read on to learn more about why this topper won me over.</p><h2>Design</h2><p>The <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=999&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=88336&amp;urllink=amerisleep.com%2Fbedding%2Flift-mattress-topper%2Fss-topper%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Amerisleep Lift Mattress Topper</a> utilizes "HIVE technology" in its foam. HIVE is an acronym for "harnessing intelligent ventilation and energy." The foam features a pattern of hundreds of hexagons with five different comfort zones that are meant to provide more support around the head, back, and feet, as well as more cushioning around key pressure points, such as the hips and shoulders.</p><p>The topper is made with breathable materials, including a Celliant cover (more about that below) and an open-cell foam for improved airflow.</p><p>Additionally, there are two layer types: Comfort and Support. The two styles cost the same and both feature cooling, open-cell technology and HIVE technology. The main difference is that the Comfort Lift has Bio-Pur foam for extra cushioning, while the Support Lift uses Affinity material, which is firmer and delivers better support. I tested the Comfort Lift in Queen.</p><h2>Cost</h2><p>The Lift is available in all of the standard bed sizes and ranges in price from $199 for the Twin to $349 for the King and California King. While that is significantly more expensive than most mattress topper options, its high quality and five-year warranty make it a solid investment. </p><h2>Set-up process</h2><p>The set-up process for most mattress toppers is pretty basic: flop it onto your bed and you're good to go. The <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=999&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=88336&amp;urllink=amerisleep.com%2Fbedding%2Flift-mattress-topper%2Fss-topper%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Lift Mattress Topper</a> is a little more involved. First, you spread the foam out and put the Celliant cover on it. Next, you flip it over and zip the microgrip bottom on. Then, you flip it one more time and adjust the topper so it is even on your mattress. The whole process took about 10 minutes.</p><p>There was a slight odor when I unboxed the topper. It's your standard "new bed smell" that comes with any memory foam product. If you are particularly sensitive to odors, I suggest letting the comfort layer air out for a while before you zip it into the Celliant cover. </p><h2>What makes the Lift Mattress Topper stand out</h2><p><div type="image" title="Amerisleep mattress topper" height="900" width="1200" msid="76098042" hostid="261"></div></p><p>In general, I prefer mattresses with medium to average firmness. So, I didn't have high hopes for a mattress topper that made my bed softer. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked well with my sleeping style and body frame. I generally sleep on my stomach and side. While I much preferred sleeping on my side with this topper, stomach sleeping was also pleasant.</p><p>As a runner with occasional lower back issues, my sore muscles let me know when a mattress doesn't provide the pressure relief I need. The <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=999&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=88336&amp;urllink=amerisleep.com%2Fbedding%2Flift-mattress-topper%2Fss-topper%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Lift Mattress Topper</a> left my body feeling refreshed and ready to put in some miles in the morning.</p><p>At 250 pounds, I carry a little extra insulation and tend to sleep hot. The Lift topper did an outstanding job of absorbing my heat and sending it elsewhere for a cool night's sleep. This is a common effect I've noticed with <a href="https://celliant.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celliant</a> covers thanks to their breathable material. The open-cell memory foam also allows for airflow for added cooling. This was especially useful since the mattress I was sleeping on ran hot.</p><p>As an added plus, the topper is made of <a href="https://amerisleep.com/biopur-memory-foam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bio-Pur memory foam</a>. This material is CertiPUR-US-certified, which means it's made without harmful chemicals, like heavy metals, PBDEs, ozone depleters, and formaldehyde. Additionally, Bio-Pur uses eco-friendly, plant-derived oils rather than petro-products.</p><p>The cover of the mattress topper is easy to clean. I used a mild detergent run on a cold, gentle cycle and then let it air dry. However, Amerisleep recommends using a protector with the Lift to ensure a longer lifespan and to protect the foam, which isn't washable.</p><h2>Cons to consider</h2><p>The Lift Mattress Topper is expensive. It's the priciest model I've tested and is more than any of the brands included in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-mattress-topper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our mattress topper guide</a>. However, it's also better quality than the other brands I've tested and is backed by a five-year warranty.</p><p>You might want to get some help with the set-up process since flipping the topper was a pain due to its floppy construction and 42-pound weight. Positioning the topper was also hard due to the microgrip bottom, which wanted to adhere to the mattress right away.</p><p>Removal can also be tricky. Make sure your mattress doesn't have loose threads. Mine did, and when it came time to remove the topper, it pulled at the threads and made an unsightly mess that required scissors.</p><p>As with most mattress toppers, you may need to get new fitted sheets with deep enough pockets to cover the topper and your mattress. At three inches thick, the Lift isn't inordinately thick, but if paired with a thicker 14+-inch mattress, you'll have trouble getting a standard fitted sheet to stay put.</p><h2>The bottom line</h2><p>Despite some minor downsides, the Amerisleep Lift is the best mattress topper I've ever slept on. But, is it worth the $300 price tag?</p><h3>Should you buy it?</h3><p>I wouldn't recommend spending less than $900 for a mattress. If you have a mattress that's only a few years old but just doesn't feel right for your body, the Lift is an affordable alternative to completely replacing your mattress. </p><p>But, if your mattress is old, lumpy, or sagging, the Lift won't rejuvenate your bed. And, of course, if you are perfectly happy with your mattress, the Lift doesn't have much to offer you.</p><p>This topper is for people who want more cushion or support out of their current mattress. It also offers the additional benefit of keeping you cooler, so it is a good option for hot sleepers.</p><p>If money isn't tight, then go with the best — and that's the Amerisleep Lift in my opinion. But, if frugality is of importance, then consider an alternative like the Sleep Innovations topper (more on that below), or choose one of the models in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-mattress-topper">our guide to the best mattress toppers</a>.</p><h3>What are your alternatives?</h3><p>As mentioned above, the Lift is the best mattress topper I've ever tested. My previous favorite – and the only other topper I've tested that I'd recommend - was the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-4-Inch-Mattress-Topper/dp/B00CEMH3C0/?imprToken=33aTBhLDHn0TXzF7jT1t0Q&amp;slotNum=17&amp;creativeASIN=B00CEMH3C0&amp;imprToken=6fwdCvNL-1sTvQZ08HjWag&amp;slotNum=19&amp;&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_060917_best-mattress-toppers-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=a76777404132a7b90f466724d58f4e35&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=93256724d58f4e35&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Sleep Innovations 4-inch Dual Layer Gel Memory Foam Topper Set</a>. If I were playing with my own money, I'd be willing to give up the targeted pressure relief and support of the Lift to save $170 with the Sleep Innovations model. </p><p><strong>Pros:</strong> HIVE technology offers targeted pressure relief and support, Celliant cover and open-cell foam allow for airflow and cooling, made with CertiPUR-US-certified memory foam, microgrip bottom holds the topper in place, five-year warranty.</p><p><strong>Cons: </strong>One of the most expensive toppers on the market, there are other good options that come in significantly cheaper, set up and removal can be difficult and may require two people due to weight and microgrip bottom</p><iframe src="https://produktor.businessinsider.com/productCardService?id=5ed00dca1918241e213e37d5&amp;type=button&amp;live=true" width="100%" height="150%" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute; top:0; left: 0"></iframe>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amerisleep-lift-mattress-topper-product-review">Business Insider</a>
