How to Choose a Mattress That's Right for You

Did you know we spend almost a third of our lives asleep? Getting a good night's rest is essential for ensuring that you stay healthy both physically and mentally. As such, having the right mattress becomes a necessity and can help you improve your sleep more than you may realise. Unfortunately, not many of us know the right way or even how to pick a mattress for our individual sleep needs. There are many factors to consider, which can make the whole process confusing.

TEMPUR® offers practical advice and tips on how to choose a mattress you’ll love, examining key elements in the decision-making process and providing expert guidance that helps you towards an enhanced sleep experience.

Things to Consider When Buying a New Mattress

If your sleep is uncomfortable, it may be time to upgrade your mattress. But, with so many different types out there, it can feel overwhelming working out what's best for your dreamy night's sleep. These are the four main points you should consider when wondering how to choose the right mattress:

• Size
• Weight
• Material
• Health

Size and Your New Mattress

First, your new mattress must be the correct size to effectively support your body shape. There’s nothing worse than feeling cramped or crowded in your own bed, feet hanging over the edge; at the same time, you don't want to feel swamped either. Your new mattress should be big enough for you to move around in freely while still knowing where the limit is. It’s a difficult medium to achieve but also one that should make your sleep much happier.

Mattresses that sink in a little too far can make the sleeper experience higher temperatures in bed, creating great restlessness. On the other hand, too rigid a design usually results in an inability to get comfortable in the first place. This is why TEMPUR® mattresses are designed to give soft, sumptuous comfort no matter what the person's weight is, providing an unrivalled product quality that fulfils all your specific sleep requirements. 

New Mattress Material

Mattress material should be a big factor when considering which model will suit you best. This is, after all, what you’ll be snuggling against at bedtime, so you need to choose wisely. For instance, TEMPUR® has always aimed for the stars when it comes to mattress material, having its origins in NASA and keeping astronauts well-rested as well as being the only mattress company in the world to be certified by the International Space Foundation! If you make the switch to TEMPUR® Material, you’ll wonder why you didn't make the change sooner.

What About Different Sleep Needs?

Everyone sleeps differently, which means it can be tricky finding a mattress that accommodates those who sleep in different positions. Fortunately, there is a way around this.

TEMPUR® can offer a hybrid mattress option to customers with conflicting sleep habits. Here TEMPUR® Material has been adapted to suit a range of body types, so no one loses out on a relaxing rest. Whether you're a side sleeper or can only fall asleep on your stomach, experience the TEMPUR® solution for a better, healthier, and far more comfortable slumber.
