How to Choose a Mattress

Size

Do you share a bed with your partner? Do you need extra room to stretch and move around at night? Or do you prefer a smaller option to snuggle under the covers?

When it comes to mattresses, dimensions matter. Here are the sizes you can choose from:

• Single – A single mattress is a perfect option for small rooms, children, and guest beds. They are a popular option because they are easy to fit in any bedroom and are big enough to accommodate an adult.
• Small double – A small double mattress, or queen mattress, offers plenty of space and comfort for single sleepers. As it is larger than a single mattress, it can be shared by two adults in smaller bedrooms.
• Double – A double mattress is a popular choice among couples, as it is spacious enough to accommodate two average-sized adults.
• King – If you and your partner want that little extra space at night, then a king-sized mattress is the solution. It will give you both room to toss and turn freely as you sleep.
• Super king – Space-wise, super king mattresses are the most generous option you can pick. They are particularly good for tall couples as they are 10cm longer than a standard double mattress.

Spring tension and feel

Another factor to keep in mind is whether you like your mattress to have a soft or firm feel.

Some sleepers prefer to soak slowly into the bed, whereas others prefer a firmer feel to support their spine. Firm or extra firm mattresses, for example, are an excellent option for sleepers who have back problems, while orthopaedic mattresses are perfect for posture alignment and pressure relief.

Whatever your preference, you’ll surely find the perfect solution for your sleeping desires.
