There are a number of factors that can determine the quality of your sleep, from your demographics such as age, weight and sex to environmental factors such as room climate and outside noise levels and also lifestyle factors such as how many hours a day you use a computer and whether you exercise regularly. With all of these factors combined, one simple solution is to pick a mattress that is best suited for you.
How do you find the best mattress for you?
Mattress Type
If you’re just getting started in your search for the perfect mattress, one of the easiest ways to narrow down your search is to pick the type of mattress you’d like to purchase. There are many different styles of mattresses, these include:
- Foam – what is a foam mattress? A foam mattress relies on the air trapped within the fibres of the bed rather than pocket springs to offer support and bounce. The foam mattress flexes to your body shape allowing you to feel ultimate support and comfort
- Innerspring – what is an innerspring mattress? Also known as pocket spring, uses individually nested pocket springs to provide support and bounce – the higher the number of pocket springs the more support you will feel. Low count pocket spring mattresses are very bouncy and are suitable for those who like soft beds
- Hybrid – what is a hybrid mattress? A hybrid mattress offers a mix of two different types of mattress, one example is the popular pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam topper, this mattress allows you to reap the benefits of a pocket sprung mattress such as its support whilst giving the soft feel of a memory foam mattress
- Latex – what is a latex mattress? A latex mattress combines the latex foam core with pocket springs in order to create a supportive and durable bed base.
Firmness
The firmness of your mattress is also an important factor in choosing the right mattress for you. The firmness of a mattress describes how hard or soft a bed feels. Here are our recommendations:
- Extra soft – best for side sleepers under 130lbs
- Soft – suitable for side sleepers under 130lbs looking for extra support
- Medium soft – ideal for both sleepers under 130lbs and side sleepers under 230lbs
- Medium – we would recommend a medium firm mattress for back and side sleepers between 130 and 230lbs
- Medium Firm – the most popular choice. Suitable for all sleepers between 130 and 230lbs and aids side sleepers who are over 230lbs with their breathing as it provides more support
- Firm – the perfect choice for people looking to relieve back, neck and shoulder pain. The firm mattress gives extra support to side sleepers over 230lbs and back and stomach sleepers over 130lbs
- Extra Firm – for those who are over 230lbs we’d recommend the extra firm mattress in order for you to get optimum support to help you achieve a restful night’s sleep.
