A guide to choosing the right mattress for a restful sleep

A good mattress forms the foundation for a restful night’s sleep. At the end of a long and active day, your body needs the right support to realign and rejuvenate – sound sleep is essential for your overall well being and is known to lower stress, increase energy levels and keep chronic diseases at bay. When you sleep properly, you wake up fresh, stay in a good mood and are able to go on with the day efficiently.
There are several factors that contribute to getting optimal sleep such as an ideal sleeping surface, sleep position, body type and physical ailments. A good mattress can significantly improve your quality of sleep as it offers your body the right support. But, choosing the right one for your body can be a daunting task with the numerous options available in the market today. Read on to know some of the key factors that you must consider before buying a new mattress.
What kind of mattress are you looking for – responsive memory foam or ordinary memory foam, latex or innerspring, hybrid or adjustable air? The options are endless and one can end up getting confused on the right choice. It may be a good idea to read up and do some research on the different kinds of mattresses available and shortlist the ones that you want to try out.
There are many different mattresses available in the market today that are made from different materials. You need to see all the options and choose the one that is perfect for you. For instance, you can look for features like cooling properties if you feel very warm, or motion isolation if you share a bed and are disturbed when your partner turns.
Firmness preference is another factor that is unique to every person and is a crucial factor in providing the right support to the spine for realignment. You can select the firmness level – soft, medium, or firm – depending on your sleeping position, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach.
It may also be a good idea to test the mattress in a store. Some brands also offer at-home test services which you can opt for. This way, you can lie down on the mattress and see if your normal movements feel comfortable. Some specialised showrooms also have personalised consultative selling and tactile experiences that can help you make up your mind about your selection faster.
Traditionally, trust played a major role in the process of mattress selection and families stuck to the same brand names that they had been hearing in their homes. When buying a new mattress, you must select a brand known for its quality and durability. A mattress is not something that you keep replacing often so make the right selection and ensure that what you get will stand the test of time. You must select a mattress that comes with a warranty of 5-7 years or more to protect your investment. After all, mattresses are not inexpensive to buy. Some models even come with a 10-year warranty.
Here are some of the top brands that you can consider when you start your search for the right mattress.
