Frequently Asked Questions
What type of mattress should I look for?
First, consider your preferred sleeping position. If you're a side sleeper, choose a mattress that offers ample cushioning to relieve pressure points around your hips and shoulders. Look for materials like memory foam or latex, which contour to your body's shape, providing support where needed. Back sleepers may benefit from a medium-firm mattress that keeps the spine aligned and prevents lower back pain. For stomach sleepers, a firmer mattress helps maintain proper spinal alignment and prevents the hips from sinking too deeply. Heavier individuals typically require a firmer mattress to prevent sinking too deeply into the bed, which can lead to discomfort and inadequate support. Lighter people may find softer mattresses more comfortable, as they provide better contouring and pressure relief. Think about any specific health conditions you may have, such as arthritis or chronic back pain, as these may influence the type of mattress that best suits your needs. Traditional innerspring mattresses offer excellent support and airflow but may not contour as effectively as memory foam or latex mattresses. Hybrid mattresses combine the support of coils with the comfort of foam layers, providing a balanced sleep surface suitable for various preferences. Consider factors like motion isolation, temperature regulation, and hypoallergenic properties when choosing the material composition of your mattress to ensure it aligns with your specific requirements.
While personal preference plays a significant role, certain guidelines can help you narrow down your options. Medium-firm mattresses tend to accommodate a wide range of sleepers, offering a balance of support and comfort. However, if you have specific preferences or requirements, such as a softer feel for pressure relief or a firmer surface for spinal alignment, prioritise those factors in your decision-making process. Remember to test out our mattresses in-store in Yeovil and Taunton to find the perfect balance of firmness for you.
