Before you start searching for a mattress, it’s crucial to understand whether you’d prefer soft, medium-firm or firm support. While many people assume softer mattresses are more comfortable, the answer is more complicated and varies for each person. A medium-firm mattress might be better for Kansas City residents with chronic lower back pain.
The most comfortable level of mattress firmness is a matter of preference, though some support levels often work better for different sleep styles.
In addition to firmness, you also need to decide which type of mattress you prefer. If you haven’t bought a new mattress in a while (10 years is the average lifespan of a mattress), you may be surprised at the variety of options to choose from in today’s market.
Mattress type | Description | Best for... | Cost (Queen) |
---|---|---|---|
Innerspring/coil mattresses | These are traditional mattresses with coils that have that familiar bouncy feel. | Durability + affordability | $800+ |
Memory foam mattresses | With added cushion and support, a memory foam mattress conforms to your body and adds extra softness. | Proper alignment | $900+ |
Latex mattresses | A latex mattress offers excellent support while mimicking the bounce of an innerspring mattress. It also retains less heat. | Bounce + cooling | $2,000+ |
Hybrid mattresses | Often referred to as “the best of both worlds,” hybrid mattresses take an innerspring mattress and top it with either memory foam or latex. | Pressure point release + breathability | $1,650+ |
The traditional form of mattress shopping has changed. While brick-and-mortar mattress stores still appeal to many Kansas City residents, others prefer online mattress stores that ship mattresses (often referred to as a bed-in-a-box) direct to consumers so they can try out their mattress without having to step foot in a store.
Buying a mattress online is often less hassle than visiting a store, and the idea of receiving a mattress-in-a-box at your door is exciting. Because these companies sell directly to consumers, their prices may be lower than a traditional mattress store.
Shopping at a storefront has advantages as well. Online mattress stores often just offer their brand. In stores, you can find a variety of brands and mattress types to choose from to find one that fits your needs and budget. Physical storefronts allow you to try mattresses before buying one, and some stores offer free trials that allow you to sleep on a mattress for a few nights to test it.
Mattresses range in price depending on many factors, but the average cost for a new mattress in Kansas City is around $1,000. You can expect to spend at least $600 for a quality mattress. Like buying a car, however, stores have more expensive mattresses with luxury features. For example, if you buy an innerspring mattress, you can purchase more expensive styles with more coils.
Other costs that impact the price of a mattress include:
You may also face an additional cost for mattress disposal in Kansas City. Some companies may dispose of your old mattress for you, either for a fee or for free. Kansas City’s Neighborhoods and Housing Services considers mattress a bulk item and picks them up for free, but you must schedule an appointment.
Avenue of Hope is a charity that accepts mattresses for a $10 donation or picks them up for your home for a $20 donation, and Sleepyhead Beds picks up mattresses, sanitizes them and gives them to children in Kansas City who do not have beds for a $30 donation.
If you’re still unsure about what type of mattress you want or where to purchase from, take some time to read customer reviews. Hearing the experience of other people may help give you a better idea of what you need. Companies’ mattresses also often vary in terms of firmness, so reviews may help you narrow your search down even farther.
Other factors to look for from mattress companies include warranties, return policies and trial periods. Don’t settle for a cheap mattress just because of its cost. You spend a lot of time on your mattress, so take time to ensure you’re making a good purchase. Choosing the right mattress helps you sleep better lets you feel more rested, which improves your overall quality of life.
