Why Choosing The Right Mattress Matters?

If you are shopping for a new mattress by now you would have realized how challenging the task can be, despite you choose to buy it online instead of buying it in a brick and mortar store.

If you are shopping online there are numerous websites to surf, decide on the type of mattress as there are orthopaedic beds to normal ones, mattress sizes, brands, and various price ranges to choose from. To ensure that the investment you make on the mattress is worthwhile, here is a handy guide that can make this difficult task easy. 

Signs that you should replace your mattress?

Here are some of the signs to look for to decide if you should buy a new mattress

Is your mattress sagging: If your mattress is having a dent or is sagging at the edges it is time to change it as it does not offer the needed comfort or support.

• Is it older than 8 years: If your mattress is older than 8 years and have indentations on the surface or have spots on them which you cannot remove it is time for a change. The spots on the surface are a cesspool for allergens.

• It does not offer the same support as before: If the mattress is not providing the same comfort as it did earlier, then start shopping for a new mattress.

• It is not large enough: If you or your child has outgrown the single bed mattress in your home and is ready for an upgrade. 

How to choose a mattress?

The best type of mattress is subjective and depends on preference but there are a few things that can help in narrowing your options and they are listed below. 

Sleeping position: Different sleeping positions will have different support needs, so the best mattress will be based on whether you sleep on the back, stomach, side or a combination of positions. In general, a softer mattress that conforms to the body is good for side sleepers, a firm mattress for back and stomach sleepers. There are many manufacturers like Wakefit that offer beds that suit all types of sleepers.

Mattress dimension: The size of the mattress should depend on the size of the room. A small bed in a large room and a big bed in a small space is not ideal for your sleep. The mattress sizes should also depend on whether you share the bed with a partner. If so, then the least size you should purchase is a double bed mattress though the ideal size is a queen size mattress.  

Firmness: The firmness of the mattress depends on the type and quality of the material used for constructing the bed. Memory foam mattress offers less spring and does not allow the body to sink into the bed offering great support to the body. The memory foam that is used to construct the bed should have the right density and thickness and the bottom layers being more firm than the comfort layers. If you are looking for extra support, an ortho bed provides better support and greater relief from aches and pains. 

Budget: The price of the mattress varies from low to expensive. There are various factors like material, brand, mattress size and model that determine the price of the mattress. Neither a low priced mattress nor the most expensive mattress is the right option, the king and the queen size mattress that suits your requirements is made of quality materials is the right choice.

Follow the above guidelines to get the perfect and peaceful sleep every night.
