If you’re searching for a new mattress, one of your top considerations is probably how firm it should be. While there is no one correct answer about the right level of mattress firmness for everyone, there are certainly types of sleepers and sleep preferences that may make a slightly softer mattress a better fit.
Many of us wish we could achieve a better quality or quantity of sleep. Of all the things in our busy lives that can prevent a great night’s rest, an uncomfortable bed is one of the biggest culprits.
One mistake that parents can make when choosing a bed for their child is to assume that they will want a mattress with the same level of firmness as an adult might want. But children’s bodies have different comfort needs.
We generally find that our luxury, all-natural Dreamwool Beds sit at about the right height for most sleepers, but what if your unique circumstances require a bit of a lift in the bedroom? The experts at Dreamwool are here to talk bed height, and what you can do if you feel your mattress isn’t quite measuring up.
Your choice of mattress can play a big role in the overall health of your spine. A high-quality mattress made with premium natural materials will provide you with support and conformity as you sleep, leading to healthier joints and better spinal alignment. On the flip side, a lower-quality mattress – or simply the wrong mattress for your body type and shape – can lead to muscle and joint issues and ongoing back pain.
A hybrid mattress is one that is made with a combination of different materials and comfort layers, most often some kind of latex or foam for conformity as well as a spring system for support. At Dreamwool, every luxury pocketspring mattress we make would be considered a hybrid, as they all contain European-made pocketsprings, all-natural latex, and generous layers of plush Merino wool.
As you’re contemplating your next mattress purchase, it’s important to remember that your choice of firmness will have a big impact on your overall level of comfort. There is no one right answer about how firm your mattress should be, and the best way to be sure is to test out a variety of options in your preferred sleeping position and see how they feel.
Your preferred sleeping position can have a big impact on the type of mattress you should choose, with different materials and firmness settings working best for different sleep styles. If, like half of adults, you are a side sleeper, making the right selection can be especially important; you’ll want to find a mattress that contours just enough to support your body shape while also easing the pressure on tired hips and shoulders.
“Profiling bed” is not a term that is used in New Zealand; when overseas manufacturers say this, what they are actually referring to is an adjustable bed. There are a lot of misconceptions about these versatile and convenient beds, namely that they are specifically for older, bedridden, disabled, or low-mobility people. The truth is that adjustable beds are being embraced by a wider variety of sleepers all the time for a whole host of reasons beyond hospital-style support.
