Shop the Best Mattresses at Abt
Investing in a new mattress will help you sleep more comfortably, keeping you cool and offering support. If your mattress is over 10 years old or you're waking up with a sore back or stiff neck, it's time to purchase a mattress. Abt's selection of mattresses has options in every size from some of the best brands, with hybrid, innerspring and memory foam options. Innerspring uses coils to provide support, while memory foam contours around your body. Memory foam is also hypoallergenic, ideal for sleepers with allergies. Hybrid is the best of both worlds, with the support of innersprings and the pressure relief of memory foam. Our selection also includes mattresses compatible with adjustable bases for customizable comfort.
Mattress Firmness
Besides the support type, the firmness of your new mattress also affects its comfort. We have firm, extra firm, medium, plush and more options available. Mattress firmness is mostly personal preference, but you should also consider your weight, preferred sleeping position and health factors like a bad back. If aches and pains affect your quality of sleep, a firmer mattress offers more support to alleviate discomfort. For side sleepers, a slightly softer medium or plush option will better hug the side of your body. No matter how firm a mattress you choose to buy, we recommend adding a mattress pad for additional cushion and comfort. With a large selection of mattresses at our Glenview showroom, you can compare firmness levels for yourself.
Shop by Size
You can shop mattresses of any size at Abt; our selection includes twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king and split California king options. Twin XL is ideal for dorms, while a luxurious California king offers extra leg room. Twin or full mattresses are ideal for kids and teens. If you're an adult living alone, a queen mattress will suffice; if you live with your partner or spouse, you'll appreciate the extra room from a king-sized mattress. If you already own a bed or bed frame, you'll need a mattress of the same size. With every mattress size available, Abt will help everyone in your home get better sleep.
