Guide in Choosing the Right Mattress for Your Comfort

When purchasing a new bed, many buyers often focus on the style of their bed frame rather than the mattress itself. However, choosing the right mattress is an important decision since you spend about a third of your life sleeping on one. Selecting the perfect mattress for your needs can be challenging, but this brief guide can help:

The most effective way to find the right mattress is to test it out by lying on it. Spend around 10 to 15 minutes on each mattress to determine if it meets your needs and preferences.

When testing mattresses, remember the 3 S’s:

• Softness: The softness of the mattress should provide comfort and relaxation from all angles. A softer mattress contours to your body, making it ideal for side sleepers who prefer to sink into their mattress.
  Premium Luxe Mattress by Joyce & Diana - Orthopedic mattress with 5 zones provides variable support to the main  areas of your body and offers pressure relief where you need it.
  
  
• Support: While a mattress should be soft, it also needs to provide proper support for your body shape and sleeping patterns. Medium-firm mattresses suit those who change sleeping positions frequently, as they allow the shoulders and hips to sink in while supporting the rest of the body.
  Uratex Orthocare Balance Mattress - Combines high density foam with multi-zone topper for outstanding pressure and back support. Orthofirm® foam designed to promote equal distribution of pressure to relax the legs, hips, arms and shoulders.
  
  
• Size: Mattresses come in various sizes, such as Single, Double, Queen, King, and California King. Choose a size that suits your room, body size, and the number of people sleeping on the mattress. The mattress should be at least 6 inches longer than the tallest person sleeping on the bed. Grand Elite Mattress by Joyce and Diana - Imported knitted fabric with anti fungal and anti dust mite treatment available in Single, Double, Queen, King, and California King

Bonnell Springs and Pocketed Springs

Both Bonnell springs and pocketed springs are popular types of mattress constructions, each with its own advantages.

• Bonnell Springs: These are traditional, hourglass-shaped coils that are interconnected. Bonnell springs offer firm support and may be more affordable. However, they can transfer motion across the mattress, which may not be ideal for light sleepers sharing a bed.

• Pocketed Springs: In pocketed spring mattresses, each coil is individually wrapped in its own fabric pocket. This allows the coils to move independently, providing targeted support and minimizing motion transfer. Pocketed springs are a good choice for couples as they reduce disturbances caused by movement.

Mattress Maintenance Tips

Maintaining your mattress can extend its life and keep it in top condition. Here are some tips:

• Rotate and Flip: Rotate your mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months, and flip it if it's double-sided. This helps distribute wear evenly across the mattress.

• Use a Mattress Protector: A mattress protector shields your mattress from spills, stains, and allergens, helping it stay clean and fresh.

• Keep It Clean: Vacuum your mattress regularly to remove dust and debris. For spot cleaning, use a gentle detergent and water to remove stains.

• Air Out the Mattress: Allow your mattress to breathe by letting it air out regularly. Remove the bedding and open the windows for fresh air.

• Avoid Jumping on the Bed: Jumping can damage the springs or foam and shorten the lifespan of your mattress.

To maximize your comfort, look for mattresses with features such as:

• Comfort plush foam made from high-resilience convoluted PU foam.
• Edge stabilizers for increased sleeping area and a no-sag seating edge.
• Pocketed spring systems for targeted support and minimal partner disturbance.
