Buying Guide for Beds

Visit a Furniture Village store to try out our beds. Our experienced sales consultants are trained specialists who understand all the products we offer. Each store has their own consultant who can guide you through the distinctive elements of each bed. Find your nearest store.

You spend one third of your life in bed, so it is important to get the feel right. When testing, remember to take off your coat and shoes and lay on the bed for several minutes, in various sleeping positions.

If you are buying a bed for you and your partner, make sure both of you try it, especially if you are different sizes and weights.

Lie on your back and slip your hand between the base of your spine and the mattress. If this is difficult, the mattress may be too soft. If it moves too easily then the mattress may be too hard. Ideally you should be able to move your hand with little resistance.

Once you have established the type of mattress you like, lie on the bed as you would normally. Remember a mattress should support all parts of your body including your hips and shoulders.

Take your time and try more than one bed in the showroom to ensure you make the right choice. This is vital as we are unable to refund or exchange mattresses that have been unwrapped or used.
