I'm in the market for a new mattress for the first time in an embarrassingly long time and I have no idea where to start. The market seems like its changed alot since the last time I was shopping too.

I'm kinda afraid to buy a mattress without trying it in person, what are my options there?
Are there any industry standard stiffness/firmness measurements that manufacturers use?
Features I should look for or avoid?

My current mattress has had a pretty noticeable sag for awhile now, but recently I've been having lower back pain so I'm finally motivated to find a new one.


If any of this was covered previously point me to it!

Is this the right place to ask about pillows?

I haven't bought new pillows for longer than I can remember, so the ones I'm using probably need replacing.

Where do I look for pillows these days? This definitely seems like a try in person thing.

What are the options? Down? Foam? Fancy foam?

I can give more pointed suggestions if I know more!


I'm primarily a stomach sleeper and prefer a fairly moldable pillow. I've always like the down pillows I've had for this.

My biggest issue is where to even find them. There are so few brick and mortar stores left I'm not sure where to check.
