HOW TO CHOOES A NEW MATTRESS.
As we just learned, getting a good night’s sleep depends on a lot of different factors — comfort, stress level, room temperature – but to get it right, you’ve got to start with the basics and your mattress is the first building block to a restful slumber.
If you’re in the market for a new mattress and have recently taken a stroll down the aisle of a bedding store, you know that there is a dizzying array from which to choose. How do you know which mattress is best for you?
The most important thing that you should look for, while buying a bed, is the comfort. Unless and until the bed is comfortable, you won’t enjoy sleeping on it. Therefore, you should always sit for a while on the bed and check if you can feel the comfort or not. Mattress manufacturers and retailers have dozens of names for different types of mattresses, but there are only really a few basic types:
Spring Mattress
Most mattresses contain some type of spring system deep inside, generally speaking the more springs a mattress contains the greater support it will offer. Although manufacturers offer differing variations, there are basically two different types of spring systems used in mattresses today:
Coiled Springs
The robust coiled or continuous spring systems are specifically designed to evenly distribute body weight over the surface of the mattress. Although each manufacturer varies the technology, they all feature row upon row of springs linked together with a spiral wire, which ensures the mattress retains its shape throughout its life.
Pocket Springs
Generally considered to more luxurious, these smaller lighter springs are individually wrapped in fabric pockets and work independently from one another. Imagine thousands of tiny pistons constantly adjusting and conforming to your body contours, ensuring complete support and comfort from head to toe.
Other types of mattresses
Whilst sprung mattresses are by far the most common, there are other types available which offer an excellent alternative:
Natural Latex
Developed by Dunlopillo over 75 years ago, latex offers users with a list of unique benefits. Latex is hypo-allergenic and its anti-microbial properties inhibit bacteria, fungi and house dust mites – so can be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from respiratory problems. Latex also conforms perfectly to your body’s contours for superb comfort, neck and back support.
Memory Foam (Visco Elastic)
First used by NASA during the shuttle space programme, technologically advanced memory foam responds to body heat and weight to support you perfectly, relieving pressure points and helping relieve symptoms of backache, painful joints and circulatory problems.
CONCLUSION
As you’ve probably saw in these days on the market you can find all kind of beds : beds with computers, beds with plasma tvs, any many more. Of course every little thing cost you more. You can buy one of these but remember, a bed main purpose is to recharge your batteries, so don’t waste your money on expensive beds with lots of gadgets, rather make a wise decision and purchase something that will improve your life.
