We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, and that means you need a mattress that will ensure you get all the quality sleep that you need. Here’s how to choose the perfect mattress:
1. Buy the best quality you can afford
Because you’ll want your new mattress to last between five and seven years, it’s not something you should skimp on. Buy the best quality mattress you can afford – one that will give you a healthy and comfortable night’s sleep.
2. Do some research before you start shopping
When you’re in the market for a new bed, it’s very important that you do some research before you start shopping.
You will also be able to see how technology has changed since you last bought a mattress. On the Sealy website, for example, you’ll be able to find helpful information about healthy sleep, different mattress comforts as well as the technology and expertise that go into making Sealy such a great choice.
3. Choose the right size
The size of the mattress is another important factor you need to consider as the wrong size bed can lead to you not having enough space for a comfortable night’s sleep. You may even find that your body hurts when you wake up in the morning because you were forced to sleep in an awkward position.
A standard double bed of 137 cm offers a sleep surface area for two people that is equal to a cot mattress-width each. Therefore, as a couple, you may want to look for a queen or king-sized mattress if you want more space.
Mattresses are also made in longer lengths, which is a good investment if you are taller than average.
