A good night's sleep is very essential for a healthy life. It is not just the number of hours that plays an important role in ensuring a good sleep but also the level of comfort that depends on the mattress that you choose to relax on.
Mattresses are not the same for every person; some are designed to cushion your stiff back while others provide support according to a person's height, age or weight. We generally do not pay much attention to these factors before buying a mattress; but neglecting such concerns can affect our sleeping habit.
Some guidelines on what to keep in mind before selecting a mattress:
Age of your existing mattress
If you've been having trouble sleeping, the problem might not be your mattress, but its age. Every mattress comes with its own expiry date. After a certain period of time, mattresses no longer retain their original comfort quality. This is the time that you should consider changing your mattress to prevent further troubles to your body.
The three S's
Softness, support and size are three important attributes of a mattress. In India, most customers tend to prioritise the cost of the mattress over other components and end up complaining later.
Test before you finalise
Once you've made up your mind on a particular mattress, try lying down on it for at least 10 to 15 minutes. This will help you check for its comfort and reliability. Do not hurry with the big purchase and let not your decision be only influenced by the salesman.
Check for all options and variations
Check whether the mattress is firm, stylish and accompanied with a pillow-top the brand promises to offer. Do not settle for anything mediocre.
Shop at a real mattress store
Avoid shopping from department stores. Salespeople at a mattress store are usually more trained and skilled enough to help you with the correct choice.
Do not forget to check the warranty
A good mattress will have a minimum of a 10 year 'full' replacement or a 'Non-prorated warranty'.
After it's all about sleeping well!
