Shopping for a new mattress as a first-timer can be overwhelming. There are so many options on the market, like foam mattresses, innerspring beds, and hybrid mattresses. With the often hefty price tag, it isn’t something you want to purchase without doing your research.
I’ve been in the mattress industry for years now, so I know the type of mattress I need based on my sleeping position, body type, budget, and preferences. I know not everyone has the same understanding. I asked AI to recommend a mattress to see just how it compares to my own advice as a mattress expert. Here is what I found.
To begin my research, I first asked the 3.5 AI model, “Can you recommend me a mattress? I’m a side and stomach sleeper that gets hot at night.” The AI gave me a few factors to keep in mind when choosing a mattress, it told me that it couldn’t offer me actual mattress brands or products since its knowledge cut off at its last update in January 2022. It did give me three helpful points. Let’s dive into them.
- AI can provide good mattress options
- Always double-check information provided by AI
- It’s best to try out mattresses physically before purchasing
