To find the best mattress for your needs, there are a few basics that you need to consider.
First, decide what size mattress you need. The standard sizes are twin, full, queen and king, but there are more options available. Twin or full mattresses are suited for single sleepers, while queen and king mattresses are better for two people.
Then, determine what material and level of firmness are right for you. Your preferred sleeping position and physical condition help determine what kind of mattress you need. You can distinguish different types of mattresses by their design and the materials used to make them. Here are the most common kinds of mattresses:
Each of the above mattress types is available in a range of firmness options. The industry frequently measures mattress firmness on a 10-point scale, with one being the softest and 10 being the firmest. However, ratings are subjective and may not align across different sources. This means its a good idea to use firmness ratings as a relative guideline but leave the fine distinctions up to your own judgment.
Once you know what you’re looking for, you can begin comparing prices, brands, and online or brick-and-mortar stores.
Think about whether you prefer to buy your mattress online or at a local store. There are advantages and disadvantages to both shopping experiences.
Many in-store retailers sell a wide range of brands and mattress types. If you’re shopping in person, you can chat with a sales representative to help find a mattress that suits your needs and try it out before you buy. Some offer delivery services, and they may even take your old mattress, too. Return options vary from store to store, though.
Online mattress companies allow you to buy a mattress without leaving your home and have it delivered to your front door within a week. Many offer trial periods where you can test out the mattress for free and return it if you don’t like it. Most online mattress companies are also manufacturers, so prices are often cheaper, but you won’t see a large variety of products without looking at multiple sites.

In Richmond, a mattress can cost as little as $250 or over $3,500, depending on its size, materials, construction quality, warranties, seller and shipping costs.
The larger the bed, the more expensive the mattress generally is. Mattresses are generally available in twin, full, queen and king sizes as well as less common options, like twin XL and California king.
Here’s what you can expect to pay for each type of mattress:
Typically, shopping online is cheaper than buying from a brick-and-mortar store. However, additional warranties, returns and shipping fees can increase your price.
Many sellers offer financing plans, sales and promotional offers (especially during the holidays). Some mattress companies offer price match guarantees and lease-to-own programs, too.
Are firm mattresses good for back pain?
Potentially. A firm or medium mattress can help relieve back pain and provide your spine with the necessary support. However, if you sleep on your side, look for a soft or medium mattress to give your pressure points ample cushioning.
Can you leave a mattress on the curb in Richmond?
Yes, Richmond offers biweekly bulk and brush collection service to its residents. Large items, like mattresses, are collected on your trash collection day during your recycling collection week. You can also dispose of the mattress yourself at the East Richmond Road Landfill & Convenience Center or the transfer station on Hopkins Road.
How much does a full mattress cost in Richmond?
The price of a full mattress largely depends on its material and brand. In general, you can expect to pay less than $1,500 for a good mattress of this size, though.
