The mattresses and the neutral resting position

To achieve the optimal resting position for your body, it is crucial to invest in the right mattress. Finding the perfect mattress can be challenging, but it's a vital investment that significantly enhances your quality of life. Therefore, it's one of the most important purchases you can make. If your mattress is old, worn, or doesn't suit your body, it won't offer the support you need, leading to poor sleep and discomfort in joints and muscles. Thus, it’s crucial to choose a mattress that properly supports your body, ensuring a neutral sleeping position so you don't sink too deeply or misalign your spine.

When only the best will do

The mattress is one of the key components of your bed, so it's essential to invest in the one that best fits your body type. Our collection features products from some of the market's top manufacturers, ensuring you receive the highest quality at exceptionally competitive prices.

Mattress comfort zones

The mattresses in our selection are structured in zones, typically offering 3, 5, or 7 comfort zones. And you might wonder, what exactly are comfort zones? A comfort zone is a section of the mattress that differs in depth, fullness, or firmness compared to the rest. It helps to relieve pressure in areas where your body requires support. This could be at your shoulders, hips, or back.

What is the best mattress firmness?

Deciding whether a mattress should be on the softer or firmer side can be challenging. The decision is highly personal, and it's up to you to discern the needs and criteria for your ideal foam mattress. Perhaps you have specific issues that need consideration, or other important details when selecting a new foam mattress should not be overlooked. However, here's a fantastic tip: "Your foam mattress should neither be too soft nor too firm."
Choosing a mattress that's too soft might cause your body to sink in excessively, creating unnecessary pressure and potentially leading to joint and muscle pain over time. On the other hand, a mattress that's too firm can be detrimental, as it might prevent your hips and shoulders from sinking in adequately—this can lead to inadequate support for your waist and lower back, disrupting a neutral resting position.

How do you know when your mattresses are just right?

Ultimately, only you can truly determine when your mattresses are good enough. It is crucial to ensure that your body lies evenly, with your shoulders and hips gently sinking into the mattress, allowing your body to rest in a completely neutral position without strain. When investing in a new mattress, firmness is key, indicating whether the mattress is on the softer or firmer side. There is a significant difference in the experience of sleeping on a soft versus a hard mattress, and your body shape is also a key consideration. For instance, men in relationships often prefer a firmer mattress than women, as men are typically taller and heavier. In such cases, we recommend having individual mattresses to cater to each person's comfort needs. However, there may be instances where the above rule of thumb does not apply, so it's incredibly important for each of you to keep a keen eye on your neutral resting position.

Proper care for your mattress

To prolong the lifespan of your foam mattress, we recommend always using a mattress protector – this applies whether you have an integrated mattress topper or one that sits loosely on top. A mattress protector is a protective layer for your foam mattress, and since it can be easily and frequently washed at high temperatures, it protects the mattress more than you might expect. When you lie in bed, your body will naturally excrete moisture and waste, which can degrade your foam mattress over time. A mattress protector can minimise this, allowing you to enjoy your bed for many more years. Additionally, we recommend turning your foam mattress several times a year - both on the lying surfaces and 180°. This method distributes the pressure on the foam and significantly increases its longevity.
