Choosing a good mattress is a good investment and doesn’t have to be a complicated process.
We spend more than a third of our lives sleeping. Choosing a good mattress is a good investment and doesn’t have to be a complicated process. To be guaranteed success, you need to think about the answers to five key questions.
1-How old is your current mattress?
Although it’s not a strict rule, it’s understood that the useful life of a mattress is around eight years. But the best way to assess whether your mattress is getting “old” is to pay attention to your body. Do you wake up in the morning more sore than you went to bed? Do you find it difficult to find a comfortable position at night? Have you found any deformities in your mattress that can no longer be solved by changing its position? If any of these questions are answered in the affirmative, it may be time to say goodbye to your old mattress.
2-What position do you sleep in?
After assessing the age issue, it’s time to move on to your ideal sleeping position, which is closely linked to the firmness required. Although most people turn round in bed and don’t sleep in just one position, there is usually one that prevails, whether it’s on your back, side or stomach. And each of these positions has a more suitable type of mattress.
3-What kind of firmness are you looking for?
For back sleepers, the ideal is a mattress of medium firmness, preferably with springs, which allow the natural alignment of the spine. Side sleepers should opt for a mattress that allows the shoulders and hips to “fit”, i.e. a softer mattress that moulds to the curves of the body, for example a viscoelastic or viscograph. Those who prefer to sleep on their stomachs, on the other hand, should opt for a firm mattress that keeps their hips and shoulders aligned, with pocket springs or a hybrid.
4-What is your weigh?
Depending on your weight and body type, whether you sleep on your back, side or stomach, you may have to opt for more or less firmness. The heavier you are, the more firmness you need to reduce the pressure on your body.
5-What type of mattress do you want and what is your budget?
All that remains is to define the type of mattress you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay for it. The best options are available in the Lusocolchão catalogue.
Remember, the right mattress for you is the one you feel best on. That’s why it’s important to try it out, feel the touch of the fabric, the type of material and even check out the features that set it apart. After all, this is an important investment, since more than a third of our lives are spent sleeping.
