If you are getting married and are shopping for a bed and mattress, you should consider a double mattress.  Newlyweds often have tight budgets and a queen size mattress will cost more than a double mattress and will only give you an extra six inches of width.  Most newlywed couples really don’t need the extra room, but they do need the extra money.

You should also consider the cost of bedding for your new bed.  Bedding for a double mattress is less expensive than bedding for a queen mattress.  You’ll need two sets of sheets, blankets and a bedspread, and the extra cost can add up faster than you think.  If your first home or apartment is small, a double mattress will fit into your space better, too.  Even if you can afford a queen mattress, you can buy a better quality double mattress for the same price.  When it comes to mattresses, quality is really important.

At this stage of your marriage, you probably want to be close together anyway, so way would you want a bigger mattress.  A double mattress sleeps two people comfortably and if you’re sleeping close together, any extra space would be wasted.  Why pay for space you aren’t going to use?

In a few years when you are more settled financially, you may opt to replace your double mattress with a larger mattress.   Sleeping close together may not be as much fun as it once was, especially if you have children.  You made need a bigger mattress to accommodate the child that crawls into your bed most nights.  Enjoy your closeness now, while you can.

Your parents probably started their married life with a double mattress.  If it was a good mattress, they may still be sleeping on it.  When you”re young and just starting your marriage, you want to snuggle close together all the time, especially when you’re in bed.  A double mattress gives you plenty of room to sleep while keeping you close enough to snuggle.  It’s perfect.

You can compare the prices of double mattresses and queen size mattresses at your local furniture shop, or online.  Some online vendors are able to offer excellent discounts on quality mattresses because they have very low overhead.  Be sure to check the cost of shipping or delivery when you buy online.
