A double bed mattress provides plenty of space for two sleepers. It’s a popular choice for children/teens, guests and adults who prefer more room than a twin but less space than a queen. It’s also an ideal size for smaller rooms like dorms and apartments. When it comes to buying a new mattress, the firmness, type and thickness of the material can impact comfort and sleeping positions but finding the right size is equally important.

The average price of a quality double bed mattress is $800, but the cost can vary greatly depending on the brand, materials, comfort level and other factors. Shoppers should establish a budget before shopping and comparison shop to find the best value. Look for sales, coupons and promotions, both online and in-store. Additionally, be sure to consider shipping and setup costs if applicable.

Many retailers offer discounts around national holidays and seasonal changes, such as Black Friday, Memorial Day and Christmas. It’s also a good idea to subscribe to the email newsletters of your favorite mattress brands and retailers to stay up-to-date on specials.

Be wary of being pressured into purchasing additional accessories, such as box springs or mattress toppers. While these accessories can increase the comfort of a mattress, they’re not necessary for most users. The only exception would be if the bed’s frame does not accommodate a standard mattress or if you have an antique or other specialty mattress that requires a specific support system.
