Do you really have a bad back--or just a bad bed? Buying a new mattress set can be confusing and expensive--a queen set can cost $400 or $4,000. Most of us spend one-third of our lives in bed, though, so it's worth it to find one that's just right for your body.

on 6/30/2006 Always make sure the mattress and box springs you're thinking of buying are new. Make sure that the salesperson doesn't use words like 'reconditioned' or 'like new'. You want all new parts, never used, especially when paying top dollar.

on 11/22/2005 If you already have a bedframe, measure its width, length and height. Bring the measurements (and the tape measure) with you. There may be fluctuations in sizes, so you want to be sure everything fits before you buy. Also, the height measurement helps determine if you may need a low-profile box spring instead of a regular one.
