The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in any home and among the most crucial piece of furniture, or purchases in general, is the mattress. People spend about a third of each day, meaning a third of their lives, in bed, resting. A poor or worn out mattress can wreak havoc with your well being, causing back aches and difficultly sleeping, which leads to a plethora of other problems in waking life, from fatigue to depression. Therefore, when shopping for your next mattress, bear in mind the gravity of the situation and make a commitment to choose the most comfortable mattress possible, for your own health’s sake.
Although it’s always best to test out how a given mattress feels in person, ultimately purchasing the model you choose on the internet can be a wise, money-saving and convenient choice. Some of the following mattresses will give you an idea of some incredible, high-quality mattresses and their many features currently available on the market today.
Memory Foam
A possible alternative to the traditional spring-based mattress, memory foam is usually a synthetically processed material, although organic versions are now available, that provides near optimal support for sleeping bodies. Its responsive nature cradles sleepers gently and conforms to your body’s contours, providing equal support for pressure points and other areas. Mattresses constructed entirely of memory foam are available and some people prefer them over traditional models. However, many high-end spring-based mattresses now incorporate layers of memory foam into their designs to offer a combination of its excellent supporting properties and the feel of a traditional mattress.
Fire Retardation
Most mattresses today come with fire retardant materials, in contrast with older models, some of which were notorious for their conduciveness to burning. It’s important, however, not to take such safety measures for granted and always ask a dealer or get assurances that the mattress you choose would be safe in a fire. One example of flame resistant mattress technology is Serta’s Fireblocker system, a blend of fibers installed in each of their mattresses that slows the spread of flames into the mattress.
Durability
One of the most important features in choosing a great mattress is quality assurance. When
choosing a mattress, pay attention to the warranty offered by the manufacturer. The longer the warranty, the better the mattress is a good general rule of thumb to follow. Additionally, take note of the warranty’s fine print to determine whether repairs are pro-rated or non pro-rated. A pro-rated warranty indicates that passage of time and normal wear will be taken into account if repairs or replacement is necessary and that the owner will have to pay a percentage of costs. Non pro-rated warranties offer replacement and repairs due to defects at no extra cost to the mattress owner.
In addition, name brand recognition is a fair way to judge a manufacturer’s reputation. In general, mattress manufacturer’s who have provided excellent products and services in the past will be lauded by its customers and fairly well-known.
Support Systems
Another important factor to pay attention to when mattress shopping is method of support. Although firmness and softness are matters of personal choice, the real test of a bed’s quality is how well it supports the unique contours of your body. For traditional mattresses, look for a large number of isolated springs or pockets to provide support where it’s needed without affecting other areas of the mattress. Coil number is a relatively unimportant factor for most sleepers and depends on the gauge of wire used. In general, a large coil number will provide better support over a larger area, and so is best suited for people who sleep either on their back or stomach. Isolated springs support each area independently and therefore are better for people who sleep on their side.
In addition, a firm border wire—a strong wire or group of wires that runs along the perimeter of the mattress providing support— will allow for greater overall durability, better seating along the edge and prevent roll off.
Heat Regulation
One more factor in determining the best mattress for you is heat regulating materials. Many high-end beds today feature materials designed to prevent temperature swings, keeping sleepers more comfortable through the night. A great example is Serta’s Outlast system which absorbs excess body heat and regulates temperature according to each sleeper’s body so you’ll enjoy your optimal body temperature all night long.
When it comes time to decide on the right mattress for you, this brief primer can help sort of some of the different attributes to look for, but ultimately, your own body will lead you in the right direction. Though it may seem like a time-consuming process, you’ll thank yourself for years to come with a great night of sleep, night after night.
