What is the best type of mattress?

Each type of mattress has its benefits, firmness, and feel. As each body is different, it is important to know your sleeping needs to choose a mattress that can provide you with the best support and comfort. When choosing a mattress, you should think of your sleeping circumstances, the level of support you need, and the feeling you want to achieve. If you want a traditional mattress with natural fillings offering great support, then a pocket spring mattress might be the right choice. A memory foam mattress might be your best choice if you need a mattress to help alleviate back pain. When it comes to firmness, the most important thing is to choose a mattress that you feel comfortable on.

What should I consider when choosing a size?

Number of Sleepers: If you're sharing the bed with a partner or spouse, it's generally recommended to choose at least a double-sized mattress or larger for adequate space and comfort. Bedroom Size: Measure your bedroom to ensure that the selected mattress size fits comfortably, allowing space for other furniture and easy movement around the room. Personal Comfort Preferences: Consider your own sleeping habits and preferences. If you tend to move around a lot during sleep, a larger mattress may provide more comfort. Guest Accommodations: If the mattress is for a guest room, consider the typical guests you'll host. A double or king-size mattress can offer flexibility for accommodating couples or individual guests comfortably. Budget: Larger mattresses generally come with higher costs. Set a budget that aligns with your needs and preferences while considering the overall cost, including bed linens and accessories. Room Layout: Consider the layout of your bedroom, including the placement of doors, windows, and other furniture. Ensure the mattress size allows for a balanced and aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Remember that individual preferences and needs vary, so the best mattress size for you will depend on your specific circumstances. If possible, try out mattresses in a showroom or take advantage of trial periods offered by mattress retailers to determine the most comfortable size for your sleep habits

What is the healthiest type of mattress?

The healthiest mattress provides you with the right amount of support and comfort. Memory foam and pocket springs offer the most benefits as these systems help keep your body properly supported, leading to a more regenerative and deeper sleep. This, in turn, will help make you feel refreshed and recharged when you wake each day. Sleepeezee mattresses have a range of hybrid mattresses encompassing both pocket springs and memory gel, offering the best of both worlds for comfort and support.

How do I choose the right mattress firmness?

The right mattress firmness depends on your body shape, weight, sleeping position, and preferences. We offer a wide range of mattress firmness from soft to firm that you can find in our "By Comfort" Section. If you are a back sleeper, you should opt for a medium-firm mattress. As a side sleeper, you should try a medium-feel, and as a stomach sleeper, a firm mattress might be your best option.

What are the different types of mattresses?

Open Coil Mattress The open coil mattress is a popular budget option that contains one long piece of metal wire coiled into numerous springs. They are the most common type of mattresses, but with the new industry innovations, they tend to be less supportive than other mattresses. Pocket Spring Mattress Made from individual springs housed in their fabric pocket, providing more support than open coil mattresses. Memory Foam Made from memory foam, a mouldable material that responds to temperature and weight and has hypo-allergenic properties. Latex Mattress Filled with latex foam, this mattress is breathable and prevents overheating. They are also good for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Hybrid Mattress A combination of pocket springs and other materials such as memory foam or latex. They often come as a pocket spring base and a memory foam layer, combining comfort and support.
