5 Tips and Tricks for Mattress Buying

When it comes to buying a new mattress, it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of choice available.

Choosing between soft, medium or firm mattresses, hypoallergenic or supportive qualities, Staycool™ or Softech® technology can be a lot to handle, so it comes as no surprise that many of us often struggle to decide on an option that’s right for them.

As sleep experts, we understand the importance of a good quality mattress. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it is vital that your mattress supports you, night after night. After all… Everything is easy when you Sleepeezee!

If you’re looking to invest in a new mattress but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve rounded up our top five tips for you to follow when you’re busy browsing… happy shopping!

Try before you buy:

Simply patting the bed down or stretching out for just a minute or two isn’t enough. If you’re shopping for a new mattress, we would recommend that you spend at least 10 minutes on each bed, or preferably up to 20 minutes if you can. So, lie down and relax!

Try not to feel self-conscious when testing beds!

Relax – you need to find the right bed, so get into your favourite sleeping positions, move around and get comfortable.

Think about your alignment

You need to ensure you have the correct support to allow for natural spinal alignment. A good quality mattress should be both supportive and comfortable. We would recommend that you lie on the mattress in your usual sleeping position and check that your spine aligns correctly.

Do your research!

It’s always a bonus to know what type of mattress you’re looking for before you go into any store and so we would recommend that you read up on your options first. Luckily for you, we’ve already pulled together a handy guide on the different types of mattress firmness levels available.
