Luxury Mattress vs. Standard Mattress

What Defines a Luxury Mattress?

The word ‘luxury’ is overused by many manufacturers, regardless of the actual quality and craftsmanship of the mattresses they sell. A top-quality mattress is defined by what’s inside as opposed to the words that are used to describe it. And true luxury is an investment worth making. 

Materials used in luxury vs. standard mattresses

The quality and quantity of materials used in luxury mattresses far exceed what you will find in a standard mattress. A luxury mattress contains a high volume of natural materials that are breathable, durable, and sourced from reputable manufacturers with sustainable supply chains. Standard mattresses typically contain a smaller amount of synthetic fillings that are selected based on what is most cost-effective to produce.

Craftsmanship and design quality

Luxury mattresses typically include a number of handcrafted components. This hands-on craftsmanship, as opposed to the mass production of many standard mattresses, enables constant improvements to design quality to maintain an optimum sleep experience.

Advanced features in luxury mattresses

Dreamwool luxury mattresses, are designed based on benefits as opposed to features; our focus is on the joy of ownership. Luxury mattress benefits include better quality materials in higher volumes, higher manufacturing specifications, and second-to-none comfort and support.

Comfort and Support: Luxury vs. Standard Mattresses

When considering a high-end mattress vs. a regular mattress, the biggest difference is in manufacturing quality. Nothing is pared back in Dreamwool luxury mattresses, which offer more of everything and in the best quality available.

How do luxury mattresses improve comfort?

Luxury mattresses feature the highest volume of the best natural materials, offering more cushioning and optimum comfort for your body in a range of customisable options for different firmnesses and fillings. It is also worth noting that a premium bedding comparison quickly demonstrates the importance of using premium linens with your luxury mattress. Don’t decrease your comfort by using substandard bedding on a luxury bed!

Support differences between luxury and standard options

Standard mattresses typically offer the minimum you can get away with in terms of material volume and quality, whereas luxury is the other end of that scale. While they may feel comparable, at first, standard mattresses degrade and lose their comfort quickly because their material quality doesn’t stand the test of time.

Which mattress type offers better pressure relief?

A luxury mattress offers optimum pressure relief due to high manufacturing quality and the combination of products being used. Dreamwool luxury mattresses offer many customisable elements, such as spring gauge and density of fillings, to provide a truly personalised sleep experience. Both pocket spring and latex mattresses are excellent for pressure relief, depending on your body composition and individual sleep needs.

Durability and Lifespan

Luxury mattress durability is increased due to more and better quality fillings that will support and comfort your body for longer.

Why luxury mattresses last longer

Comfort differences in mattresses are the biggest consideration when looking at durability. While a standard mattress, in theory, could be used for as long as a luxury mattress, the experience of sleeping on it is vastly different over time. Ultimately, the time you spend in a luxury bed is far better.

Typical lifespan of standard vs. luxury mattresses

The optimum comfort period for a standard mattress might be 5-7 years, whereas for a luxury mattress, it is typically more like 10-12 years.

Factors that impact mattress durability

There are a number of factors that might impact the durability of your mattress over time, including manufacturing quality, body composition, and frequency of turning.

How luxury mattresses add long-term value

Being more rested and recovered for the day ahead adds long-term value to your life. 

Is a luxury mattress worth it? Absolutely. A good night’s sleep is the best investment you can make in tomorrow.
