How To Choose The Perfect Mattress
Tips for
choosing a new mattress
Getting a good night’s sleep is important, especially when you have a family to
take care of. According to a recent study, the main factor that affects the quality of your sleep is your bed, more
specifically, your mattress.
Want a good night’s sleep? Your mattress needs to be as soft and comfortable as a
cloud. If your bed isn’t as comfy as it could be - maybe it’s lumpy or slightly too hard, you need to invest in a
new mattress.

Different brands and
types
When it comes to choosing a new mattress, you’ll be spoilt for
choice. Today, there are so many different brands and mattress types
to choose from, that it’s a little overwhelming. The most important thing is not to rush out and select any
old mattress because it’s on sale. You need to do your research and take your time choosing the perfect
one.
You may think that with so much choice, choosing the perfect mattress will be
impossible, but it doesn’t have to be. To make the task a little easier, we’ve put together a few handy
tips:
Aim for comfort
The most important thing you should do when mattress shopping is, above all else,
aim for comfort. Buying a new mattress is all about picking the perfect design for your needs - it should be all
about you.
Some of us like soft mattresses, while others prefer a slightly firmer design. You
need to think about what you want from a mattress, as well as what your back responds well to. Don’t opt for a soft
mattress just because your friend has one and loves it, you need to think about what your back needs.
Always try before you buy
So you’ve walked into your local bed store and fallen in love with
their king size latex mattress - don’t make the mistake of buying before you try. Even if a mattress is marked as being
the same comfort level as your old one, that doesn’t mean it’s suitable for you. There’s no universal mattress
numbering system, so each company uses their own. This means working out which mattress is best for your back,
without trying it, can be almost impossible.
That’s why, before you buy, it’s important to test out a mattress for at least 20
minutes. Or if you are buying online, buy through a company that offers you the chance to try it and return it, if
it’s not right.

Brand names aren’t important
When it comes to mattress shopping, far too many of us choose a design because of
its brand. However, there is no need to do this, as almost every mattress spring is made by the same manufacturer.
You might think that by paying a higher price for a branded mattress you will get a better night’s sleep, but
often, that’s not the case.
Look for a hypoallergenic design
If you are prone to allergies, it’s a good idea to invest in
a hypoallergenic design.
That way, you’ll know that your new mattress won’t make your allergies flare up or cause any other kind of
irritation.
For a hypoallergenic mattress, the best materials to opt for are wool and natural
latex. Always make sure to have a read of the label before you buy, to ensure that there are no nasty synthetics in
the mattress.
Picking the perfect mattress is no easy task, especially with so many options to
choose from. Hopefully, however, if you follow the tips in this guide, you can make mattress shopping a little
easier for yourself.
