Mattress Type Guide — Shop By Bed Type
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it stands to reason that we should be doing it right. A premium quality mattress is an investment in both your health and well-being, so it makes sense to choose a mattress that moulds to your body and cocoons you in the soft embrace of endless comfort.
When choosing a premium quality mattress, you’ll need to consider your go-to sleep position, the material it’s constructed from, and its overall cost and durability. Start by assessing your sleeping habits. Are you a back sleeper, side sleeper, or stomach sleeper? Do you prefer a firm mattress or a soft mattress? There’s no right or wrong answer — it’s simply a personal preference.
With so many factors to consider, choosing the perfect mattress can seem daunting, but with a few pointers, you’re sure to make the right choice. We’ve created this guide to help you choose a premium quality mattress that suits your sleeping habits — so you can enjoy years of peaceful rest.
Types of mattresses
Pocket-spring
This type of mattress contains a coil that is individually wrapped in fabric. This allows the coils to move independently, providing superior support and pressure relief. Pocket springs are also highly durable, making them a good choice for those who want to invest in a long-lasting mattress.
In addition, pocket springs provide good airflow, which helps to keep the mattress cooler and more comfortable — perfect for hot sleepers. The downside of these mattresses is that they lean more towards the expensive side of the affordability scale. However, due to the high standard of quality, durability and comfort offered, consider this mattress an investment that will last for years. If you’re looking for a firm mattress with sturdy pocket springs, try our range of pocket-spring mattresses, which are sure to have you sleeping blissfully night after night.
Memory foam
This type of premium quality mattress gets its name for its ability to mould to the contours of your body and remember your shape and preferred sleeping positions. Memory foam mattresses are extremely comfortable to sleep on, as it helps to distribute weight evenly and reduces tension on pressure points. In addition, memory foam is resistant to dust mites and is hypoallergenic, making it a good option for sleepers with allergies.
If you’re a stomach sleeper, this mattress is not the best choice. However, the superior support it offers assists in blood circulation and keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night — so you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested. If you’re looking for a mattress that will provide lasting comfort and unmatched support, a memory foam mattress is a perfect choice.
Choosing the right level of firmness
Generally, mattresses are classified as soft, medium, firm or super firm. The level of firmness you need depends on various factors, including sleep position, body weight, and personal preference.
If you sleep on your back or stomach, a firmer mattress may be better for preventing pain in your hips and shoulders. Back sleepers may find that a medium-firm mattress offers the best combination of comfort and support. Firmer mattresses tend to be better for your spine alignment and may offer more support if you regularly wake up with back pain.
Medium-firm mattresses balance comfort and support, making them a versatile option for many. If you sleep on your stomach or side, you may prefer a softer mattress that allows your hips and shoulders to sink in. If the mattress is too firm, it could exert too much pressure on the shoulders and hips.
Ultimately, the best way to gauge your ideal mattress firmness is to personally test the mattress you’re considering and see how it feels.
If you’re looking for a premium quality mattress, simply visit one of our stores and have a test run.
