One of the most important things to look for when you're buying a new mattress is a lengthy sleep trial. That's because it can take you three weeks or more to get used to a new sleep surface, and so most mattress brands will give you a trial period of at least 90 days. However, the precise details of what an at-home mattress trial involves will vary from brand to brand.

Here's what you need to know about mattress sleep trials — and what important small print you need to look for to order with confidence.
