“How much should I spend on a new mattress” is a question that everyone asks, even if not aloud. After all, mattress prices run the gamut from a few hundred dollars to the cost of a car. It’s therefore understandable that we question how little is too little, and how much is too much. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that simple.
Considerations on How Much to Spend on a New Mattress
The quality of your mattress determines the quality of your sleep. As we’ve mentioned in other articles, a new mattress purchase is an investment in your health. Low sleep quality and lack of sleep raise several risk factors for serious health issues, such as heart disease, lowered immunity, diabetes, and even cancer. With this in mind, how much to spend on a new mattress is a vitally important question.
How Much to Spend on a New Mattress Depends on Your Budget
At City Mattress, we understand that everyone has different needs and budgets. That’s why we offer so many options, at many different price points. All of our offerings are from quality brands, regardless of price.
The best way to think about your mattress budget is to consider the investment. It’s for your health, so it’s extremely important. Too, many people own their mattress for longer than they own a car. For these reasons, your mattress budget is critical, because you’ll be sleeping on your mattress for several years. More importantly, you want those years to be spent getting the best quality sleep you can buy.

Mattress Options for $1,000 or Less
There are many mattress options for $1000 or less. We’ll start with the Corsicana 3500 Euro Top Innerspring Mattress. This innerspring mattress offers strong support, thanks to its 440 VertiCoil® innerspring unit, while also providing plush comfort through a padded EuroTop. With a 10-year, non-prorated warranty, it’s clear that Corsicana intends for this mattress to last. Alternatively, the SleepInc 10 Hybrid Medium Firm Mattress is a hybrid option, combining innerspring support with a medium firm memory foam comfort layer. This mattress represents the least expensive memory foam option we carry, and it also carries a 10-year warranty.
Our next example is the Simmons Beautyrest Colfax Medium Plush Mattress. Beautyrest® is a well known mattress brand, having been in business for nearly 100 years. The Colfax is an innerspring mattress, featuring the Beautyrest® 800 Series Pocketed Coil Technology support system. These pocketed coils ensure excellent spinal alignment and improved motion isolation. A series of proprietary foams offer a medium plush comfort feel and plenty of pressure relief.
Our higher end mattress for this price range is our own City Mattress Everglades Plush Mattress.
