How to Choose the Right Mattress
Making your first mattress purchase? Or maybe you’re ready to upgrade your current model?
At Grand Central, we know buying a mattress is an important decision. The right one can improve your sleep, posture, and overall well-being. Here are the key things to keep in mind before you buy.
Key Factors to Consider
Size
Think about your space and your lifestyle. Swapping out the same size is simple, but moving from a queen to a king means making sure it will comfortably fit your bedroom.
Budget
Mattresses are available at nearly every price point. Higher-end models often include better materials, longer warranties, and added comfort features — but you can still find quality options at affordable prices.

Why the Right Mattress Matters
Better Sleep Quality: The right mattress helps you fall asleep faster, stay comfortable through the night, and wake up refreshed.
Spinal Alignment: Good support keeps your spine in a neutral position, preventing aches and discomfort.
Choosing the Best Mattress for You
Firmness:
Soft: Softer mattresses contour closely to your body and offer extra cushioning. They’re often preferred by side sleepers or those with joint pain, since they reduce pressure on shoulders and hips.
Medium: A balanced option that provides both cushioning and support. Medium firmness is the most popular choice and works well for couples with different sleep styles.
Firm: Firmer mattresses keep your body more elevated and supported. They’re ideal for back or stomach sleepers who need to maintain proper spinal alignment without sinking too deeply.
Sizes:
California King: Extra length makes this the ideal choice for taller sleepers who need more legroom.
King: Perfect for couples who want maximum space to spread out.
Queen: A versatile option that balances comfort and space, fitting well in most bedrooms.
Full: Great for solo sleepers or smaller rooms where space is limited.
Material:
Euro Top: A plush layer sewn flush with the mattress edges, giving a luxurious, cushioned feel without looking too bulky.
Foam: Provides contouring support that adapts to your body shape, often great for reducing pressure points.
Innerspring: A traditional choice with coil support systems, known for durability, firmness, and better airflow.
Hybrid: Combines innerspring coils with foam or gel layers, offering the bounce of springs with the comfort of foam.
Pillowtop: Features an extra padded layer stitched on top of the mattress, adding softness and a cozy surface feel.
