When You KNOW You Need a New Mattress

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

It can be easy to put off buying a new mattress. Sometimes you get used to your own one and think that you would rather not spend the money on a new bed. But actually it is a good idea to invest in a new mattress every once in a while to continue to sleep soundly and comfortably. So what signs should you look out for that might be telling you its time to get a new one?

Constantly Waking Up in the Night

You go to bed on time, the house is quiet and you feel tired. But for some reason you keep waking up during the night. It can be a real mystery sometimes as to why you cannot sleep through the night, and it can be due to a range of reasons.

However, it could well be that your bed is actually preventing you from sleeping properly because it is not providing the support it should, and this means it could be time to get a new mattress like a Sealy mattress or a Miracoil mattress.

Unexplained Aches and Pains

If you wake up in the morning with a bad neck, back or arm, and you know that you did not fall from the bed and you went to bed feeling fine, it could be that the support has gone from your mattress over the years. If you have a cheap mattress then this can happen sooner, and it can really start to bother you over time meaning it is time to buy a new mattress, perhaps from a well-known brand like Sealy.

Takes Hours to Fall Asleep

No one likes tossing and turning and not being able to fall asleep, especially when you are tired. This can happen with an old mattress, and sometimes it just never seems to get comfortable. This can be very frustrating, and could be your mattress’s way of saying that you need a change.

Feeling Lethargic During the Day

If you are feeling tired and lethargic then it could be due to a range of problems, including health problems. But it may simply be that you are not getting the sleep you need. Perhaps you don’t realise during the night how badly you are sleeping, and a change of mattress to a Silentnight mattress or something similar might well be in order.

Always Sleep on the Best Mattress

A good mattress can be an expensive investment, but it is one that you should seriously consider making. A quality mattress like a Sealy mattress is essential for your quality of life, and it is always a good idea to buy the best you can afford and to never put off buying a new mattress because of the price.

There is so much choice these days when it comes to choosing a mattress that it can all seem a bit overwhelming. Your choice of mattress is a very personal decision, and you should always take the time to make sure you get it right. You might want to choose a well known brand such as a Silentnight mattress or a Sealy Posturepedic mattress for a really comfortable night’s sleep, but whatever mattress you choose; here are a few things that you should always try to avoid.

1. Too Soft or Hard

If your mattress is too soft your body will sink into it during the night which will force your spine into a curved position and put extra pressure on your joints. On the other hand, a mattress that is too hard will force you to move and roll over a lot during the night leading to a restless night’s sleep. The aim of a mattress is to spread the pressure of your body evenly throughout the night. Many mattresses such as the Silentnight mattress range, is ideal for this because it is designed to be neither too soft nor too hard and will provide the right level of support for your body as you sleep.

Choose Your Mattress Wisely

Choosing a mattress is an important decision, and you should take your time to choose the right mattress for you. Whether you buy a full divan bed, Silentnight mattress or any other kind of mattress, make sure that you don’t make the three mistakes above and you will enjoy peaceful nights for years to come.

What to Look for When Buying a Mattress

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Mattresses

COMFORT. Gone are the days when a mattress had to be hard-as-a-board to be good for you. A too-hard mattress may only succeed in putting your shoulders and hips to sleep. You’ll sleep best when your bed helps you feel cradled in comfort, cosy and secure. Today’s top quality mattress/foundation ensembles are built for superior comfort. Luxurious new cushioning materials and extra-soft surface treatments create a plusher, more comfortable feel.

SUPPORT. Correct support is the essential ingredient for a healthy body. A good mattress and foundation will gently support your body at all points and keep your spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture.
Pay special attention to your shoulders, hips, and lower back—the heaviest parts. If there’s too little support, you can develop back pain. But if the mattress is too hard for you, you can experience uncomfortable pressure.
A word about “firm.” Don’t rely on product labels to tell you which mattress will give you the right support. One manufacturer’s “firm” may feel harder than another’s “extra firm.” The only way to find out if the support is right is to lie down and try.

DURABILITY. It’s the quality of the materials used and how they’re put together that determines how long a mattress and foundation will provide the comfort and support you bought them for. The best assurance of good performance over a good many years is to buy the highest quality sleep set you can afford.
A word about the warranty. Don’t look to the warranty to tell you how long to keep your mattress and foundation. It’s there to protect you against product defects, not against the gradual loss of comfort and support. A sleep set may still be usable after 15 or 20 years, but it’s not giving you the good night’s sleep you deserve.

SPACE. Cramped quarters can turn sleeping into a nightly wrestling match. A healthy sleeper moves anywhere from 40-60 times a night, including some dozen full body turns. You need freedom of motion while you sleep and to help you relax while getting to sleep.
If you sleep with a partner, be sure to select queen or king size. Both are not only wider, but several inches longer than the standard “double” (full size), which offers each sleeper only as much space as a baby in a crib.
