Mattresses uncovered

A good night’s sleep is essential to our health and wellbeing.  If you’re having trouble sleeping, feel restless, or wake up feeling unrefreshed, then a new mattress could be just what you need to put the bounce back in your life and a spring in your step!

However, finding the right one for you can be easier said than done.  Mattresses come in a variety of types and comfort gradings, so how do you choose which one is right for you?

Nick Worthington, CEO of Dreams, the UK bed specialists, offers his advice:

“Most mattresses contain a variety of fillings and a sprung interior, with either a traditional open spring unit or the more luxurious individual pocket springs. Generally speaking, the fillings give the comfort and the springs give the support. However, in recent years memory foam has been an increasingly popular option,” Nick explains.

“There’s no substitute for testing out mattresses yourself”, Nick advises, “so choose a reputable bed retailer, like Dreams, which offers a large variety of beds to test in a relaxed and comfortable environment.”

Here are his top tips:

• Take your time and test a variety of types and comfort grading 
• Relax, make yourselves at home - kick off your shoes and get comfortable
• Lie on the bed in your normal sleeping position, not flat on your back with your arms by your side
• If you have a partner, then test the mattresses out together
• If you and your partner are different sizes and weights (this applies to most couples), then a pocket spring or memory foam mattress will give each of you individual support
• Take your time – after all, this is an important decision that could improve your quality of life!

“We spend a third of our lives in bed,” says Nick, “so it’s worth investing in a good mattress.  The health and wellbeing benefits provided by a good, comfortable night’s sleep are immeasurable.”

Dreams has over 180 bed superstores nationwide, offering a wide range of bedsteads, mattresses, divan sets, childrens’ and adjustable beds, as well as bedroom furniture and bedding.
