Choosing The Right Mattress Size
When it comes to mattress size, many people think that bigger is better, but it's not necessarily the case. Finding the best mattress that meets your needs and provides you with the best quality sleep is more important than the size. However, choosing the right mattress size is still an important consideration. Here are a few things to consider when shopping for a new mattress:
The size of your existing bed
Unless you plan on changing the complete bed frame when you buy your new mattress, then you'll need to ensure that your mattress will fit. For example, if you currently have a wooden frame that you'd prefer to keep with a queen size mattress, you will need to buy the same size mattress.
If you'd prefer to get something like a king size mattress, then this will require a new bed frame, so you'll have to consider how you find the right foundation for your new mattress as well as what you're going to do with the old one.
How big the room is
Although a bed is the main focal point of your bedroom, you also don't want it to take over all the space you have so that you're left with no room for anything else.
When buying a new mattress, you should consider what other furniture you have in your room and how much space you'd like between your bed and furniture to allow you to move around easily while still having enough space for things like your nightstand and any other essential items that you like in your bedroom. Typically, we recommend that you leave around 2 feet on either side of your bed.
Who's going to be using the mattress
Another thing to consider when choosing the size of your new mattress is who's going to be using it. If you sleep alone, then you can be a bit more flexible with the size of your mattress and buy anything from a twin mattress through to a king size mattress.
If you're sharing with a partner, then anything smaller than a queen size mattress most likely won't be comfortable enough or offer enough space for both of you. For couples, the most popular sizes are queen and king mattresses.
Here's an overview of each mattress size to help you find the right one for your needs:
- Twin Mattress - These are most suitable for children and teens. Although they can work well for single sleepers, not everyone will find them overly comfortable longer term due to a lack of space to stretch out.
- Twin XL Mattress - Slightly larger than a twin mattress, the Twin XL mattress is also a good option for children and growing teens or those looking for a little extra length without having a bed that's too big.
- Full Mattress - A full mattress is great for single adults or those who like a little more space compared to a twin. Although a couple can sleep on a full, it will be quite cramped, so it's not ideal for ongoing use and may be more suited to a guest bedroom.
- Queen Mattress - The queen mattress is a popular mattress size for couples and will fit most bedrooms comfortably. It's also great for single sleepers who just like that feeling of extra space.
- King Mattress - A king mattress is perfect for couples who want extra space and love the luxurious feeling of a larger bed.
- California King Mattress - a specialty mattress size for those who prefer a longer mattress than a standard king size. Many people think that the California king is a bigger mattress overall; however it takes the width of a king mattress and adds this to the length. Because it's considered a specialty size, it's also more challenging to find bedrames and sheets to fit.
- Custom mattress sizes - If you require a custom mattress size to fit something like an antique bed, specialty bunk bed or the bed in your camper or RV, we will partner with you to help you create the exact mattress you need.
Our Best Selling Mattresses
At Rested Pillow, we take pride in all of our handcrafted mattresses, taking the time to understand your personal needs and preferences before any sale takes place. However, we do have some mattresses that have proven to be favorites among our customers.
Here's a list of our best selling mattresses here at Rested Pillow:
Sunny Side Up
With 6 comfort layer options to choose from, the Sunny Side Up is the most versatile mattress we offer and is available in all sizes from twin to California king. Thanks to the customizable top layer, you can change and refresh the comfort to suit your needs and extend the life of your mattress. This may even be the last mattress you ever buy.
Bedder Days
Available in sizes from twin through to California king, the Bedder Days mattress is one of our most popular mattresses, and it's easy to see why.
Not only does this provide a great night's sleep and a feeling of sheer comfort when you lie on it thanks to the cooling gel foam pillow top, but the supportive pocket spring keeps your spine aligned as you sleep meaning you wake up rested and refreshed.
Snoozefest
For those who need or prefer a firmer feel to their mattress, the Snoozefest mattress is the firmer version of Bedder Days. This mattress comes in all sizes from twin to king so you can find exactly what you need.
Nightcap
The Nightcap mattress comes in all sizes and provides optimum support during the night as well as reduced motion transfer, making it a popular choice among couples.
Sleeping Bear
The Sleeping Bear mattress is our most reviewed mattress and has been a steady customer favorite for over 5 years. One of the things our customers love about this mattress is that it's not too soft and not too firm, giving it that “Goldilocks” just right feel.
Mattress Types and Choosing The Right One for You
No matter what type of mattress you're looking for, we can help you find it. Not only that, we'll work with you from start to finish to help you find the right type of mattress for your needs.
Mattresses are not made equally, and each type comes with its own benefits and drawbacks depending on various factors. Here's a look at the mattress types we make at Rested Pillow and an overview of each:
Traditional
We stock a range of traditional mattresses at Rested Pillow to suit different sleeping preferences and needs. A perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern comfort, these mattresses come in a variety of sizes and comfort levels.
Customizable
Our range of customizable zipper mattresses allow you to tailor your mattress to suit your desired comfort level.
Hybrid
Offering a perfect balance between comfort and support, a hybrid mattress is a great choice that's suitable for various sleeping preferences and needs.
Flippable
If you're looking for a mattress that stays firm and retains its shape, then a flippable mattress is a good option. With this mattress type, it's essential that you flip it regularly as doing this will prevent the sinking feeling you get with some others and it will generally last longer.
Mattress in a Box
If you've ever tried navigating a mattress up a staircase or through a narrow hallway, you'll know that it's not exactly a fun or easy experience.
At Rested Pillow, we offer a convenient way of getting a Michigan-made mattress sent to you, even if you're on the other side of the country with our range of Mattress in a Box mattresses.
Your new mattress will arrive securely compressed, rolled and vacuum sealed until you're ready to use it.
Innerspring
These mattresses are like the ones your grandma used to have and are still popular with those who like the traditional feel and durability of a quality mattress, but with more focus on comfort and support.
We currently only stock Innerspring mattresses in our showroom where you're always encouraged to try out our mattresses to see which one is right for you.
Foam
At our Michigan showroom, we stock a variety of foam mattresses designed to suit different levels of comfort and support requirements.
Finding The Best Mattress for Your Sleeping Position
The position you sleep in during the night plays a key role in the type of mattress that's most suitable for you. To help you find the perfect mattress and ensure you get the best sleep, here's a look at the different sleeping positions people adopt and how they not only affect sleep, but the type of mattress you should buy.
Side Sleeping
Although the most common sleep position, sleeping on your side can add extra pressure to your shoulders and hips, so you need a mattress that provides enough softness and support to relieve pressure in these areas.
Back Sleeping
Sleeping on your back if you have the right mattress that is good quality and offers the correct, often firmer, support can help keep your spine in alignment, reducing pressure on your neck and back.
Stomach Sleeping
Sleeping on your stomach is best avoided if possible for a few reasons: it can aggravate sleep apnea, it doesn't keep your spine aligned correctly which can result in back problems, and the unequal distribution of weight on the mattress will also put pressure on your core, upper and lower back.
Sleeping in this position can also result in neck pain from turning your head to the side to breathe.
Combination Sleeping
If you move around a lot when sleeping and usually wake up in a different position than the one you fell asleep in, then you're likely a combination sleeper.
This sleeping style is often the one that causes the most problems such as back and neck pain, stiff joints, and overall feelings of restlessness and discomfort during the night, making finding the right mattress challenging.
Since mattresses are typically made to support specific sleeping positions, combination sleepers often have trouble getting the right balance of comfort and support from their mattress.
What Things You Should Consider When Buying a Mattress
Before you buy a new mattress, there are a few key things you should consider so that you not only get the best in terms of value and quality, but that you find a mattress that will improve the quality of your sleep.
- Your sleeping preference - The position you sleep in and other things like whether you tend to feel warm during the night are things you should consider when looking to buy a mattress.
- Any health needs you have - If you have any back problems or other health condition that affects your sleep, then take time to find a mattress that is designed for this.
- The durability of the mattress - All mattresses, regardless of brand or price will begin to soften over time with regular use, but a good quality mattress should still remain durable and not negatively affect your sleep quality.
- How much space you have - The bed frame you currently have and the space you have available in your room are also important things to consider when buying a new mattress.
- The brand reputation - It's important to find a mattress company that you can trust to help you find the right solution for your needs, so take time to research reviews and if possible visit them in person to get a feel for how they approach sales and customer service.
Choosing The Right Firmness for Your Mattress
When shopping for a new mattress, the right size can make a big difference. While a larger mattress often feels more luxurious, your space and sleeping needs should guide your decision.
Factors to consider:
Current bed frame – Planning to keep your frame? Match the mattress size exactly.
Bedroom size – We recommend at least 2 feet of space around the bed for comfort and accessibility.
Who’s sleeping in the bed – Couples often prefer a queen or king for more room, while solo sleepers can enjoy anything from a twin to a king.
Mattress Size Guide
- Twin: Ideal for kids, teens, or small guest
rooms - Twin XL: A bit longer than twin, great for teens
and dorms - Full: Good for solo adults who want more space
- Queen: The most popular size for couples and
singles who enjoy room - King: Excellent for couples who want extra space
- California King: Great for taller individuals,
with extra length - Custom Sizes: Need a mattress for a camper,
antique bed, or RV? We’ll custom-build it for you in Michigan.

FAQ
-
Can a mattress affect my sleep quality?
Yes, it can. Sleeping on a mattress that is too firm or too soft can have a negative affect on the quality of your sleep, as can sleeping on a mattress that’s the wrong type of mattress for your needs.
When buying a mattress, it’s important to do your research to find out what type of mattress is best suited to your needs, but also try them out in person if you can and ask questions so that you can find what works best for you.
-
What mattress size is best for me?
Everyone is different and has different needs, so there’s no universal right mattress size. You should take certain things into consideration, such as the size of your room, your existing bedframe, and also whether you’re going to be sharing the bed with a partner.
-
How often should you replace your mattress?
This depends on various factors, such as the type of mattress you have, the quality of the materials used and how well the mattress has been looked after.
Some mattress types like traditional mattresses generally have a longer lifespan and can last 10 years or more, whereas others like memory foam may only last around 8-10 years.
However, this is not set in stone and if you notice that your mattress is becoming uncomfortable, your sleep quality is getting worse, or you notice visible signs of wear and tear on the mattress, then it’s a good sign that it needs to be replaced.
-
Are expensive mattresses worth it?
Although a higher price can sometimes indicate better quality, especially in terms of materials used, this isn’t always the case, and it’s certainly not true that the more you pay for your mattress, the better it will be.
The most important thing when buying a mattress is understanding as much about your own sleeping needs and preferences as possible, and then finding and speaking to a reputable company that you trust who can answer any questions you have.
A good mattress company will be happy to help you find the right mattress for your needs regardless of the price point.
At Rested Pillow, we always encourage anyone who’s looking for a new mattress to visit our showroom if possible and spend some time lying on the mattresses and testing them out to see what works.
-
What is the best mattress to buy?
The best mattress to buy is the one that’s right for you. While many companies will try to sell you the latest mattress on the market using gimmicks and high-pressure marketing, a mattress is actually a very individual purchase and what works best for you is not necessarily what works best for someone else.
The company you buy your mattress from should always take time to fully understand your needs and preferences before helping you find the best mattress to buy for you.
-
How do I know when to upgrade to a bigger mattress?
There’s no set rule as to when the right time is, but if you start feeling like you’re too cramped in your bed and would like more space, or if you have a growing family or a new home, then it might be time to consider upgrading your mattress to a bigger size.
-
Where are your mattresses made?
All of our mattresses are handmade in Michigan. We believe that a mattress isn't just another thing you buy, it's something that should help you sleep better so that you wake up rested and energized for the day ahead.
At Rested Pillow, we pay attention to every detail when making each mattress in our Michigan factory to ensure that your sleep experience is completely tailored to your needs and preferences.
-
Do you deliver mattresses everywhere in Michigan?
Yes, absolutely. We will deliver our mattresses to you anywhere in Michigan, as well as anywhere in the United States.

What’s the best mattress for Michigan winters?
Michigan winters can get pretty cold, so many people prefer a mattress that helps retain warmth and offers cozy comfort. Memory foam and hybrid mattresses tend to do well in colder months because they contour to your body and trap heat more effectively than traditional innerspring mattresses. That said, the best choice will also depend on your personal sleep preferences—some people still sleep hot, even in winter. If that’s the case, we can help you find a mattress that strikes the right balance.
