A Waterbed Challenge

Moving an old waterbed out of the room proves to be a challenge. Meanwhile, Lisa finds a new mattress and linens for the bedroom.
A bed is one of the most important purchases you will make. The right mattress can help you get a better night's rest. So what should you consider when starting the process?
What to consider before buying a mattress:
- Explore different options when it comes to beds.
- Firm beds are not necessarily better for you. A bed should support your back, but also feel comfortable for you. If you are not comfortable, you won't sleep well.
- Make sure the mattress will go with your bed frame.
- Your budget is important. Shop for the best value, not the cheapest price. You want your bed to last a long time.
- Make sure you have the best support for your body. Lie down and try out different beds.
- Ask about the quality of the materials used to make the mattress.
- Think about space. Trying to sleep in a small space can cause you a bad night's sleep. You need the freedom to stretch out and move around at night.
- You can negotiate the price of almost all mattresses. At least get the salesperson to throw in some free linens or pillows.
