Choosing the right size mattress for you

When it comes to choosing the right bed size, consider your circumstances and the way you like to sleep. Here’s a run down:

Super King size mattress: With an added 20cm of width, this bed size is good for taller and larger sleepers. The space will also help reduce partner disturbance.

King size mattress: If you have the floor space, then the king bed is great for limited partner disturbance with plenty of room to spread out as it has a longer width.

Queen mattress: One of the most popular, the Queen bed size is ideal for two people, and spacious for solo sleepers. It also usually fits well into a standard size bedroom.

Double Mattress: A popular choice for single people or teenagers as it offers more width for spreading out, but takes up less room.

King Single mattress: A good choice for sleepers who spread out and for growing children and teenagers. It’s the length of a long single mattress but wider by 15cm.

Long single mattress: This mattress is longer than the standard single bed size, but is the same width, making it good when you have limited space but have growing children and teenagers.

Single bed mattress: This is the standard size single mattress and is good if you have limited space, for children or even for the elderly sleeping alone.

Comfort and support mean everything

Buying the best mattress for your needs can feel complicated. There is so much to understand. So when you are ready to start shopping, consider the following:

• How do you sleep? On your back, your side, your tummy or are you a combination sleeper? This matters because the different firmness levels of mattresses offer different levels of support and cushioning on your pressure points.
• Do you have back pain? There’s nothing worse than getting out of bed feeling stiff as a board. If you have any kind of back pain then consider a bed mattress in the sealy posturepedic range. They offer specialised technology for lumbar support.
• Who do you sleep with? If you sleep with a partner it’s important you consider a mattress with minimal partner disturbance.
• Are you a hot or cooler sleeper? If you sleep hotter than average then consider the materials the mattress is made of. Latex foam is a natural product that moulds around your body for support but reduces heat. Memory foam mattresses are designed to hold the heat in, using it to mould the foam to your body for support.

Firmness Levels to choose from

What firmness level should you choose in your bed mattress? To find the best mattress for you, consider your sleep needs and what each mattress offers.

• The firm mattress has less cushioning than other mattresses, and offers high support with less dipping. It’s a good option for back sleepers, with a heavier body weight and those who have back pain.
• The super firm bed mattress offers all over stronger support, preventing your spine from curving. It has minimal dipping so is a good choice for front sleepers and those with a heavier body weight.
• Medium firm mattresses are a good blend between firm and softer mattresses, offering support with a little more comfort. They suit side and back sleepers and those with a heavier body weight. It also offers more pressure point support for those with back pain.
• Plush mattress: This is a soft mattress, often with a memory foam mattress, and pillow top for extra cushioning. It provides lower support than other mattress types and is a good choice for lightweight people and those who sleep on their sides.
• Ultra Plush mattress: This is the very softest mattress with the most cushioning that you can get. It’s often made with memory foam which moulds around your body for comfort, and has a pillow top for extra softness. Your body will sink down for extra deep comfort.

Features to look out for before you buy

Are you excited to buy your new bed mattress? Well before you do, here are 5 features to look out for:

1. Firmness: The level of support you need depends on how you sleep, whether you have back pain but also personal preference.
2. Edge support: The best mattress will have some edge support technology for durability. But it’s also to add extra support to the mattress and to your body as you sleep.
3. Comfort layers: Different mattresses offer different levels of cushioning. How much support do you need while you sleep?
4. Warranty: Ask about the warranty for each mattress as you shop, and find one that offers the maximum protection.
5. Mattress size: Make sure you know how much space you have so you can fit the right bed size into your room.

It is all about the construction and materials

The construction and materials of a bed mattress work together to create your sleep experience. A pocket spring mattress offers extra support and is a good choice if you suffer back pain, while a memory foam mattress is used for a plush mattress offering the softest support. Perhaps you are after a firm mattress with enough comfort layers to give a little softness. Our experts will guide you through the many options available.
