But don&#8217;t worry, mattress technology has advanced so much over the past decade that it&#8217;s actually difficult to find an uncomfortable mattress unless you&#8217;re an extremely picky sleeper.<\/li>\n \t<li>Choose a mattress (and bed) size that fits properly in your bedroom. You want plenty of room to sprawl out in bed, naturally, but remember that you also need enough space to move around the room comfortably. Nothing creates dead energy in a bedroom quicker than a poorly sized bed.<\/li>\n \t<li>Make sure your mattress is at least 8&#8243; thick to ensure all the foams and padding are thick and high-quality.<\/li><\/ul> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-609c43f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"609c43f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da3fc9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"da3fc9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><strong>Tables<\/strong>: nightstand(s) <strong>($180 - $330 each)<\/strong><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc5052c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc5052c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n \t<li>You need at least one surface area next to the bed for a table lamp, an alarm clock, your phone or a book.<\/li>\n \t<li>Place the nightstand closer to the side with an outlet for charging all your electronics.<\/li>\n \t<li>Nightstand sizes vary.
