If you’re looking to buy the perfect yoga core bed, there are some things you’ll want to consider first. For example, you’ll want to think about whether you prefer a traditional mattress or a memory foam mattress, and what your budget looks like before you start shopping around. This buying guide will help you make sure that you choose the best possible core bed when it comes time to actually pick out your bed and bring it home with you.
1. What’s the purpose of your yoga core bed?
There are four main types of yoga core beds: a mattress and pillow, a mattress and bed frame, a bed frame and pillow, and a whole bed. That last type is probably more common these days as it uses an entire boxspring to provide both support and comfort through the use of memory foam. Some people also buy yoga core beds as an accessory to their existing bedroom furniture, while others simply use them as an alternative sleeping space.
2. What kind of mattress do you want?
Yoga core beds are available in a range of different materials, each with their own pros and cons. Foam is the traditional material used for yoga core beds, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best material. You might be more comfortable with memory foam because it has more give, or you might prefer a waterbed-style mattress which provides better support for your back and legs.
3. How much money do you want to spend?
Prices will vary wildly depending on the type of bed you want, but there is a decent range of prices available for each type of yoga core bed. While yoga core beds are generally more affordable than most other types of beds, some people may have a bit of sticker shock when they see how much memory foam costs compared to waterbed-style mattresses and traditional foam.
4. Will you prefer a memory foam yoga core bed or a waterbed-style mattress?
Some people prefer to buy a waterbed-style mattress as it provides better support for the body, but most people will want one of two other types of yoga core beds: traditional foam or memory foam. Memory foam is currently stepping in to fulfill the roles previously reserved for waterbeds. You can get memory foam beds that come with either a mattress and pillow, or a bed frame and pillow.
5. What’s your budget like?
You might be surprised at how much money you have to spend when it comes time to buy your core bed. Memory foam mattresses can range from under $100 to well over $1,000 depending on the company that makes it and how many different types of memory foam you want in your bed. Waterbed-style mattresses tend to be lower priced, often around $200. A yoga built-in storage area can go for as low as $50 and up to $250 if you’re really looking for a storage area with lots of drawers.
6. How much do you want your bed frame to add?
You may prefer having a folding or rolling yoga core bed that fits into a small space, or you may prefer one of the larger yoga core beds that takes up more space in your room. Most beds will be available in a range of sizes, from full size up to king size, with most being available as twin or queen. Most yoga core beds will also come with either a mattress pad or memory foam mattress and a pillowcase.
Shopping for a yoga core bed can be tricky. You’ll need to think about your needs, your budget, and how much money you want to spend before you start shopping around.
