Try out the mattress in a shop to find out how well it suits you. If you can't, opt for a mattress with a long trial period, but check the T&Cs about returns in case you're not happy.
If you've purchased a new mattress from a retailer, you are covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This means that a product must be as described, or of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. If not, you could get your money back.
You may have different rights with second hand items depending on where you bought it.
