Sleep is essential to our organism and our programmed biological clock so that we are awake during the day and our body recharges its batteries at night. Even though sleep times vary from person to person, and depending on their age, the time, about a third of our life, that we spend sleeping is huge. This is why good bedding, and in particular a good mattress, is essential. Spending peaceful and serene nights depends on its comfort and the fact that it must be perfectly adapted to its needs and its morphology. So, what criteria should be taken into account to choose the right mattress?
Choosing a good mattress to enjoy peaceful nights and good quality sleep starts with clearly identifying your needs.
Indeed, each individual, depending on their morphology, that is to say in particular according to their weight and size, requires different support during their sleep. In order to adapt to the characteristics of each person, including in particular health problems, particularly in connection with the back, there are thus different types of mattresses.
Soft mattresses are intended, for example, for people with small builds but who do not suffer from lumbar problems which require more support for the people concerned.
Firm mattresses are more recommended for heavier people in order to benefit from good support. Between these two types of mattresses, there are some that are neither too firm nor too soft, which are suitable for the vast majority of people, offered by certain mattress brands (see this mattress manufacturer in Vannes).
On the other hand, the size of a mattress is also very important to be sure to enjoy peaceful and serene nights. In addition to mattresses intended for single beds such as a child, there are several sizes of mattresses for adults:140 x 190 cm, 160 x 200 cm and 180 x 200 cm. The larger a mattress for two people, the better the quality of sleep since it ensures maximum comfort, in particular because the movements of one person during the night are much less felt by the person sleeping next to it.
The feeling of a mattress, which is called its “welcome”, which can be soft or toned, is also important to take into account if you want to choose a good mattress to spend peaceful nights. Thus, depending on your type of reception wishes, you have the choice between three main mattress fillings offered on the market, each of which provides a different reception. It's up to you to choose the one that best suits your wishes and needs.
Foam mattresses are the best known mattresses and there are entry-level ones (those in polyether foam), as well as more comfortable ones, in polyurethane foam, which also have, thanks to their composition, the advantage of being hypoallergenic.
These offer different densities, as well as different levels of resilience, i.e. the ability of a mattress to return to its initial shape, expressed in kg/m 3 . The greater the resilience of a mattress, the lower the pressure points, which limit the possibility of spending a serene and well-resting night.
Thus, a foam mattress that offers resilience from 38 kg/m 3 ensures good comfort whatever its morphology, thanks to its firmness and its tonicity. Types of mattresses that are also resistant over time.
Many people opt for a spring mattress because it has the advantage, in particular compared to the foam mattress, of ensuring good sleeping independence. Indeed, for these most comfortable types of mattresses, each spring is individually wrapped in a small bag, which allows the mattress not to bounce as a whole during the movements of each sleeper because each spring reacts in isolation.
Mattresses made up of springs are suitable for a large number of people because these springs adjust very well to all morphologies.
The other advantage of a spring mattress is that it also has good ventilation capacity. An asset for people who easily get hot at night or who sweat.
Latex mattresses are certainly the most efficient on the market, whether the latex that composes them is natural (from rubber tree sap) or synthetic (component derived from petroleum or rubber), or sometimes both.
These mattresses have the particularity of perfectly matching the shape of the body thanks to their elasticity and their numerous support zones, and of offering perfect comfort whatever their morphology. Latex mattresses are particularly recommended for people who suffer from back problems in particular.
Latex mattresses also have many other advantages:they have very good ventilation, which limits the proliferation of mites, a good point for people with allergies, and they prevent you from getting too hot at night because they wick away moisture very well in particular. They also last longer than other types of mattresses.
