A comfortable mattress is vital for a decent night’s sleep – and a decent night’s sleep is so important for our health and happiness. It’s well worth taking the time to choose the most comfortable mattress for you. With various mattress types available, including pocket sprung, memory foam, hybrid and gel mattresses, the decision can sometimes be difficult.
Whether you like to sink into a soft, cushiony cocoon, or prefer a firm support, there is a perfect mattress out there for you. Our mattress buying guide will help you choose the best mattress for your bedroom, so you can sleep soundly for years to come.
Determine the best type of mattress
The best type of mattress depends on your sleep preferences and any specific requirements you may have. For example, memory foam mattresses are excellent for pressure relief, while pocket sprung mattresses provide great support.
Assess your sleep needs
Consider your sleeping position, any existing body pain, and whether you tend to sleep hot or cold. These factors will help you narrow down the options and find a mattress that addresses your sleep needs.
What to look for in a mattress
Consider these five factors so you know exactly what to look for in a mattress:
- Support – A good mattress should offer proper spinal alignment and support for your body.
- Comfort – Choose a comfort level that suits your preference – plush, medium, firm, etc.
- Durability – Look for mattresses made from high-quality materials that are designed to last.
- Motion isolation – This is important if you share a bed, as it stops movement on one side of the bed being felt on the other
- Temperature regulation – Opt for mattresses with features that help regulate your body temperature.
What kind of mattress do I need?
Mattress fillings can include memory foam, latex, coils and more. To choose the best mattress filling, you’ll need to consider your comfort preference and any allergies you might have. Generally speaking, the most popular mattress types are memory foam and spring mattresses, or even a hybrid of the two. But which is best?
Memory foam or a spring mattress?
When choosing a mattress, is a memory foam or spring mattress better? There’s no right or wrong answer to this question; it all depends on what you’re looking for in a mattress and your overall budget.
Memory foam is a great choice for those with back pain, as this mattress type is made of foam. Unlike spring mattresses, memory foam conforms to the shape of your body, not just major pressure areas like your neck, knees and hips.
As well as relieving strain in other places, memory foam mattresses are excellent at maintaining the alignment of your natural spine.
Reasons to buy a memory foam mattress:
- Great pressure relief for your body’s aches and pains
- Plush, comfy and pleasant to sink into after a long day
- Ideal for side sleepers
- Ideal for cold sleepers as memory foam warms you up (depending on the foam material you choose) while providing you with the support you need
Spring mattresses also have several benefits:
- You don’t have to spend a huge amount to get a good spring mattress, as they are quite reasonably priced and offer both comfort and very firm support.
- Spring mattresses are excellent if you tend to overheat in your sleep as the ventilation is fantastic, and keeps you considerably cooler while you sleep.
