Looking for a new mattress? This guide will help you get the right fit for your physique and sleeping habits!

Why Is It So Important to Choose the Right Mattress?

Believe it or not, the right mattress can make the biggest difference for your physical health as well as your rest. 
A comfortable mattress should support your spine and your neck as you sleep whereas a flimsy mattress might not give your body the support it needs and could also lead to health complications like chronic pain or migraines. It should also feel snug and cosy enough for you to feel at peace – as a mattress that is too firm might be uncomfortable for one to sleep on. 

But how do you determine which is the best type of mattress for your body and your sleeping habits?

Fret not, because we have compiled 5 tips that will guide you to select a suitable mattress. 

1. Set Aside Some Budget

There is no shame in wanting to save on a mattress, similarly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to treat yourself and splurge. 

Think about how much you are willing to spend on your mattress. This should help you narrow down your options.

If you are shopping online, add the relevant filters or arrange catalogue based on ascending price.

2. Observe Your Sleeping Habits

Do you sleep on your side? 

Or do you prefer to lay flat on your back?

This is where the firmness of the mattress is key. If you have a habit of sleeping on your side, you would want to opt for a mattress with latex to relieve pressure on the shoulders and the side body. Whereas if you sleep on your back, a firm mattress with a thin layer of soft topper would give your spine better support. 

3. Try It Out

When it comes to furniture, it always pays to visit a showroom where you can test out the products and view them up close.

Visit a showroom and have a feel of the mattress available. Try to sit and lay on the mattress in your natural sleeping position for at least a few minutes. 

If you feel like the mattress is too squishy or dense, you might want to look at other models. 

4. Consider Your Physical Health

Do you suffer from migraines, chronic back pain, or a stiff neck? 

The issue might be your mattress.

When we sleep, your body has a chance to recover and repair itself. Restorative sleep is essential for overall health and getting the right mattress is tantamount. 

These days, technology like Smart Fabric can enhance our sleep. The innovative fabrics have different properties embedded in the yarn, like the “Intense Sleep” which discharges your negative ions as you sleep. The Thermic Cool properties keep the fabric cool at a constant temperature. Natura, an anti-bacterial and cool mattress is woven with natural bamboo fibre .

If you are going to a showroom to view a mattress, discuss your health concerns with the sales assistants on duty and request for recommendations. Alternatively if you are shopping online, send an inquiry to the store. 

5. Check Out Some Reviews

Ah reviews. These days, in the digital world, checking out reviews is highly recommendable. They highlight plus points as well as quirks of certain products and services. 

When browsing testimonials and reviews, try to look out for users who have similar sleeping habits and health concerns.
