Stop paying thousands for a mattress

Apart from having a comfortable and restful sleep, there are other things that should be considered, such as the durability and price of the mattress. Do you know what kind of mattresses suit you, or which one would last. Do you even know the kind of mattresses there are?

So almost everyone pays attention to the kind of furniture they buy, they will always consider the quality, the color, and the life span amongst others. But sadly, we pay little or no attention to the mattresses we use. The truth is this, mattresses ought to be one of the biggest providers of comfort in a home. However, some go to bed stressed and wake up stressed, because their kind of mattress does not suit them.

These are factors you must put into consideration. So, let’s look at some of them.

• Needs: according to the national bed federation, you should change your bed after an average of seven years. Good mattresses may last up to ten years. So the first question to ask is whether or not your mattress is due for a change. Just in case you’re just about to buy a new one, you can I ignore this, except the fact though.
• Size: you must consider the users of the mattress to know what size to buy. If you’re sharing the mattress with a partner, you should know that you’ll get a bigger size. Also, if both bed partners are big, or one hardly likes physical contact while asleep, or is a restless sleeper, you should get a big size. Also, your bed frame and room size must be considered to determine what size of bed to buy.

• Sleeping position: if you’re a side sleeper, you’ll need a mattress that’ll help you relieve pressure at the parts of your body which push against the mattress. For your kind of person, a pocket sprung with a soft top is most suitable for you. It is also not unsafe to try latex or memory foam mattresses. In essence, you should avoid a firm mattress. If you sleep on your face, a pocket sprung mattress can also world for you, but with memory foam, you may feel restrained. You can opt for latex as well since there’s more bounce-back. As a back sleeper, any mattress is good for you, but it is better if you find one that is firm enough to support your spine in good alignment.

These and many more factors should be considered when getting the right mattress. More importantly, you should try your bed out before buying it.
