mattress - A large pad for supporting the body

A mattress is a large, rectangular pad for supporting the reclining body, designed to be used as a bed or on a bed frame, as part of a bed . Mattresses may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, etc., or a framework of metal springs. Mattresses may also be filled with air or water.

FEATURES OF A MATTRESS

FIRMNESS

A mattress must be of right firmness to give you proper support. The degree of firmness is a matter of personal preference. Feel the different mattresses to check for your own firmness level.

DURABILITY

The mattress coils must retain their firmness and the ability to 'spring back' throughout the life of the mattress. If a mattress is durable, you enjoy more years of edge-to-edge comfort with no sags in the middle of the bed or depressions where you regularly sleep.

COMFORTABILITY

A good mattress will conform to your individual body weight and shape to maintain proper body posture throughout the night.

COMFORT

This depends upon the upholstery and the padding layers. Different mattresses will have different feels. Select for your own comfort level. A good mattress will give you comfort without sacrificing support.

SPACE

You need room for the freedom of motion that helps you relax while falling asleep and to help limit the moves you make during the night. For maximum comfort, select the largest bed you can afford or your room permits.

TYPES OF MATTRESS

Some of them include;

Latex Mattresses

This style of mattress is steadily increasing in popularity. The increasing demand is due to the option of a memory foam pillow top. These memory foam pillow tops are made of a material that molds to your body posture as you sleep. This allows your muscles to completely switch off and relax as you sleep. This is important when it comes to the quality of your rest. Releasing as much muscle tension as possible when you are asleep allows you to enter a deeper sounder sleep and wake up refreshed and revitalized. The characteristic of the foam is that it is heat and weight sensitive viscoelastic which allows it to mold and recover to its original position. This decreases the occurrence of uncomfortable indentations. 

Innerspring Mattresses

This is the most common style of mattress purchased. The spring component is designed for your support while the pillow top component is designed for your comfort. There are pocket spring systems which use individually encased springs that contract on their own separate to the unit. This system provides the best sprung support as it shapes to your individual posture. This system provides individualized support for different areas of the body according to their weight distribution. The individual springs minimize partner disturbance as none of the springs are connected and therefore your partners’ springs will not move in response to your movement. Other spring systems use continuous or group springs. These systems provide good overall support but transfer the weight over the entire mattress. 

Multi-zonal Inner Spring Mattresses

This style of mattress contains 5 different zones of springs which allows for a more individualized support than the continuous spring system. Different regions of the body receive different support according to their different weights. This is not as effective as the individual pocket spring system but allows for a more individualized approach than the continuous spring mattresses.

Spring mattresses generally come with pillow tops for comfort over the springs. There are single sided and double sided pillow tops available. It is preferable to have a double sided pillow top. This allows you to flip and turn the mattress in more directions therefore reducing the occurrence of an uncomfortable indentation in the mattress.

Waterbed Mattresses

Water beds can have therapeutic benefits as you sleep by controlling the water temperature, this can help reduce muscle tension and spasm. However water beds are hard to maintain at a therapeutic level as you need to constantly have the water height correct for your required support. While some waterbeds now have inserts to help control the movement of the water. 

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A MATTRESS

SUPPORT

Your mattress should offer proper support for your body type.  Does it conform to your body and align your spine correctly? If you feel like you’re sinking into the mattress too much, the body support may be lacking. 

PRESSURE POINT RELIEF

Few of us are fortunate enough to not suffer from any consistent aches and pains. From backs to hips, the right mattress can help alleviate pain on those body parts that tend to ache. Innerspring mattresses tend to spring back with force and put pressure on sensitive areas while high quality foam can offer proper pressure point relief. It provides support to every inch of your body in the right position, thus helping to provide pressure point relief.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

It is critical to make sure the materials that make up your mattress are breathable. You want proper air flow throughout your mattress so your body temperature is properly regulated. 

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND SIZE

No one wants to feel crowded and cramped in their own bed; you get enough of that on your morning commute to work. Don’t spend hundreds on a mattress your feet will hang off of. Make sure the mattress you’re considering offers enough room for you to move around comfortably in.

COMFORT

Do you like firm or soft? Firm mattresses are generally preferred by people who need complete support and sleep on their backs. Softer mattresses are usually the choice of people with smaller body frames who don’t need as much support.
