Buying a new mattress without carrying out some research first can lead to sore backs and a poor night’s sleep. A new mattress can cost between a couple of hundred pounds to thousands depending on the quality and brand. If you are investing this money into a new mattress, you should know more about the different styles and support available. The team at Classic Carpets and Beds in Belfast have put a mattress buying guide together to help you achieve a better night’s sleep.
How Old Is Your Mattress?
Before considering purchasing a new mattress, the first thing you should consider is the age of your current mattress. This will be one of the deciding factors on whether you need a new mattress or not. There isn’t any specific rule that states when you need to update your mattress, however 8 years is a good benchmark to begin with. From here you can figure out if your mattress is doing a good job of providing you with a great night’s sleep.
Mattress Firmness
The firmness of your mattress refers to how hard or soft it feels. Although this may seem like an easy question to answer, figuring out a bed’s firmness can actually be a bit difficult to figure out. This is due to the fact that the firmness of a mattress will depend on your own definition of what is soft, medium and firm. Your weight, sleeping position and size will also play a part in this. We have a range of cheap mattresses Belfast in store that have different levels of firmness to suit all types of sleepers.
Trying Out The Mattress Before You You Buy
You wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a test drive, so why would you invest money on a mattress without doing the same? When you are browsing mattresses NI in the store you should consider laying down on the different styles for a few minutes to see how they feel. When you do this you will get an idea of how the mattress will feel like to sleep on and you can try out different sleeping positions. The mattress you go for should offer you support and should not put any pressure on your body.
Consider Your Weight
Weight is another important factor that needs to be considered when choosing a new mattress. This is because the feel and support of a mattress can be greatly affected by your weight. Depending on your weight and your body type, you may need a specific type of mattress that will offer you a good night’s sleep.
Mattress For Back and Joint Pain
A good mattress should be able to offer you support and comfort throughout the night. If you suffer from back pain or achy joints, we recommend a firm mattress as this will help to align your back while you are sleeping and will relieve pain in your spine and joints. At Classic Carpets and Beds we have a range of beds Belfast with orthopaedic mattresses that have a unique design that is made to reduce stress on your neck, back and joints when you are sleeping in the same position throughout the night.
Mattress Size
The size of your mattress matters when it comes to getting the perfect sleep. When you are shopping for mattresses we recommend considering your weight and height, whether you sleep alone or with a partner and the size of the bed frame you currently have. This handy checklist will help you to determine the dimensions of the mattress you need before making your final purchase.
