What good will it do for you to spruce up your bedroom to look all snug and cosy, when you do not have equally comfortable bedding to complement it? As the key contributors to a good night’s sleep, think of your mattresses and pillows as essential long-term investments. Choosing the right mattresses and pillows that suit your needs will also prove to have positive repercussions on your health in the long run.
Mattress Types
1. Spring Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses are the most common, providing acceptable support and firmness while being relatively cost-efficient. Generally, the more coils the mattresses contain, the more support they are able to provide. However, their durability is often questionable, and springs may become “squeaky” when worn out.
An upgraded alternative to the innerspring mattress is the pocket spring mattress. With each coiled spring in the mattress wrapped in an independent pocket, you can rollover in bed comfortably without your partner being disturbed by your movements – especially ideal for light sleepers.
2. Latex Mattresses
Made from rubber and available in a variety of firmness, latex mattresses can adapt well to your body contours regardless of your sleeping position. Soft and pillowy, this mattress lets you gently sink in while offering good back support. A good latex mattress will also absorb moisture and not trap heat, while remaining resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew. Latex mattresses are also a more optimal choice for homeowners with allergies.
3. Memory Foam Mattresses
