Eight tips for choosing a mattress
Quality sleep throughout the night is a critical element of good health. It has been scientifically proven that a multitude of restorative processes take place during sleep and that only by ensuring a deep and uninterrupted sleep can it produce its beneficial effects.
Choosing the mattress that best suits our body will be fundamental to achieve that optimal rest.
Choosing a mattress
We know that looking for a mattress involves an important learning process about technological innovations, as it is likely that many years have passed since the last purchase, so we want to give some simple guidelines to serve as a reference.
A mattress is a product that will be our bed, where we will sleep an average of 30,000 hours, so it is very important to dedicate some time, it will be a very good investment.
1.
Trust your feelings
Think about what you like about your current mattress and what you would change. Firmness is one of the things you need to decide. Medium firm mattresses will adapt better to your body posture, while firmer mattresses will give you more stability and support.
2.
Seeking quality
Sometimes, we can get carried away by lower-end options, but investing in a good mattress is investing in quality of life. The mattress has a durability of 10 years and we will spend more than 1,200 days sleeping on it, so its cost is amortised over a long period of time.
3.
Trust those who know
We have been offering the best rest products for more than 75 years. You can call us and we will advise you. We will tell you which are the best options for you.
4.
Suitable materials
If you are not very clear about the different materials that mattresses have, here is a brief summary to make your choice even easier. First of all we highlight the pocket spring mattresses, these mattresses are characterised by offering great adaptability and ventilation. On the other hand, Normablock spring mattresses offer a more stable comfort. The HR foam or viscoelastic mattresses adapt perfectly to every sleeping position. Finally, Bultex foam mattresses are characterised by their progressive adaptability and stability.
5.
Size matters
Identify the size that suits your needs. Think about the size of the bedroom in which you are going to place your new mattress. Consider both the length and width. Also, don't forget to check if the height of the new mattress fits what you are looking for.
6.
Characteristics of the mattress
It is important that you choose your new mattress according to your needs. Choose the features you value most, such as a hypoallergenic mattress, a mattress specifically for people with back pain or a mattress that is highly breathable.
7.
Who is going to sleep?
We need to know who the mattress is for. For example, if the mattress is for children, an important feature is that the mattress has removable covers. If, on the other hand, the mattress is for you and your partner, we recommend that you opt for a mattress that has bed independence, so that you don't feel any movement when you sleep even if your partner moves.
8.
Test your mattress in peace and quiet
Choose your mattress and try it comfortably at home. You have up to 30 days to decide if it suits you.
