Wear comfortable clothing when you go to the store. You don't want to feel inhibited when testing out mattresses to determine the quality of the piece. Lay down on each mattress that you are comparing. Besides comfort, note whether the mattress seems to be comfortable, and look for any signs of poor quality, like fraying.

Ask for a specification sheet on the mattress. Stores should give you a specification sheet that details the materials used on the boxspring and mattress for a set.

Check the coil count listed on the specification sheet. A premium, high quality mattress will have at least 400 coils for a full-size unit. The sheet will also likely list the configuration of the coils, although this does not have any bearing on the quality of the piece.

See what type of padding is included with the mattress. Choose thicker padded mattresses with quality materials used for construction. Some materials to consider are memory foam, garneted cotton and coco padding.
