Why is it important to find a quality mattress from top brands when we can just lie our back anywhere, anytime we please? For one, sleep is important to everyone—our health and well-being can be compromised if we don’t get enough of it. It doesn’t take a genius to know that. And often, the difficulty to fall asleep can be attributed to sleeping on the wrong bed. Shamir, Co who works as supervisor in a natural latex mattress factory in Singapore shared, “You can improve the quality of your sleep if you choose a quality brand. Notice how you feel you back muscles aching as you wake up from a rock-hard mattress. And that can bring not only discomfort but also possible back spasm in the long run. According to our research and development team, a good quality mattress can improve memory, boost creativity, and lower blood pressure among others so it doesn’t hurt to invest in a good one.”
If you are after luxury, buying a pocketed spring mattress in Singapore may be your best resort, “Pocket spring mattress: this type of mattress is more luxurious, as it’s made from individual, small springs housed in their own pocket of fabric. This means each spring moves independently, providing more support than open spring mattresses. You can buy soft, medium or firm versions, depending on your preference, and they are more breathable than memory foam or latex mattresses (so ideal if you’re always getting too hot during the night). These are heavy to turn though and can be filled with natural materials such as lamb’s wool which may agitate allergies. This is a good option if you’re looking for a bed for two people, as the separate springs will cater for your different needs and weights, while they will also minimize the risk of you rolling towards your partner in the middle of the night,” wrote Zoe Galloway for independent.co.uk in the article titled Mattress buying guide: how to choose a mattress.
Apparently, one’s body weight must be considered, too, before buying a new mattress, according to Sonia Purnell in an article for telegraph.co.uk article titled How to choose the best mattress, “Indeed, your body weight will largely dictate the sort of tension you require – the softer ones are better for an eight-stone woman, a firmer mattress will benefit a 16-stone rugby player type. Of course, many suppliers sell combination mattresses with different tensions on either side, catering for couples with greatly varying weights.” The article further shared, “With spring mattresses, the firmness is largely dictated by the number of springs. High-quality mattresses such as Vi-Spring, such as the superb double model, will often have soft cotton and lamb's wool to enhance the springs; the very best will have horsehair filling, which breathes well and acts like more tiny springs.”
Andy Hills of And So to Bed (who was mentioned in the article of Purnell) had interesting things to say about orthopaedic mattresses, “People often ask for orthopaedic mattresses, but all that means is a hard one. Very few people actually need a hard mattress unless they have crushed a disc. For most other people, they will simply be uncomfortable, particularly for lighter women, creating shoulder pain and pins and needles sensations."
