Is it time for a new mattress? Do you wake up tired or achy, or does your mattress look saggy or lumpy? Or maybe you sleep better at hotels. The bed is a determining factor for the quality of your sleep, but not least, your bed plays a vital role in your health and well-being. If you wake up with back pain, it may be a good indicator that your mattress does not give you the right support.
The type of mattress each person needs varies upon personal preference. With so many variations of mattress types, oftentimes, this can be the hardest choice to make. Not to worry, below I have broken down the most common mattress types to help make your research and selection a little easier.
Just like it sounds, these mattresses only consist of memory foam. Memory foam mattresses are known for their great support, pressure relief, and body contouring. Historically, memory foam has had a bad reputation as “sleeping hot”. However, many newer more advanced memory foams have been designed with superior cooling properties, creating a much cooler mattress than traditional memory foams.
One of the most popular and widely used mattress types. Innerspring mattresses have one or more layers of spring coils (generally steel) that provide the support and comfort. As technology advances, the number, types, and layers of coils change. A larger number of coils typically means better comfort and support.
Firmness is how hard or soft a mattress feels. The most common question I receive from my readers is “how firm is this mattress?” This is also one of the most difficult to answer questions. The feel and firmness of a mattress depends on your definition of soft, medium, and firm. It’s highly subjective. Additionally, your body type, weight, size, and other factors play into the feel.
A lot of times consumers confuse support with firmness. An adjustable mattress that provides good support simply means that it keeps your spine in proper alignment without creating pressure points. If a mattress does not offer adequate support, you will more than likely wake up sore or in pain. Firmness relates more to how comfortable a mattress feels initially. Whether hard or soft, the optimal firmness level goes hand-in-hand with comfort.
Your budget varies from person-to-person. Just a couple of years ago the only real option was going in-store, which almost always meant overpaying for a mediocre mattress or offering your first born child up for a great mattress. The adjustable mattress industry is helping to change that. With so many companies like Ultramatic adjustable beds & mattresses, we are offering exceptional mattresses at fair and reasonable prices, consumers are able to set a modest budget and get a great bed.
Now great mattresses at fair prices can be found at Ultramatic.
