Mattresses

Most likely! It’s natural for your mattress to mould to your body shape across the years of usage. It’s because of all those comfort layers on top! This indentation will be even more noticeable if you’ve got a plush mattress. To reduce dipping, we suggest rotating your mattress every 3 months.

Start by figuring out your ideal bed size: go as big as you can without crowding your bedroom. Next, think about firmness. Side sleepers benefit from softer comfort layers for pressure relief, while back and stomach sleepers often prefer medium to firm support. Finally, consider any specific needs like temperature regulation if you sleep hot, or motion isolation if you share your bed. Not sure where to begin?

The best mattress for back pain provides even support that keeps your spine aligned while still relieving pressure at your hips and shoulders. Look for good support with enough comfort layering to cushion without sagging. Consider models with pocket springs for conforming support that reduces pressure points and encourages proper posture. Be sure to test your chosen bed in store to ensure it's comfortable and doesn't cause any unexpected aches or pains.

A coil mattress, also known as a spring mattress, uses a support core made of metal springs. Common types include continuous coils (an interconnected wire system) and pocket springs (individually wrapped coils that move independently). SleepMaker offers advanced coil technologies like Torquezone’s z-shaped continuous coils for heavy duty support and spine alignment, and Smart Suspension Technology™, a revolutionary spring system designed to reduce partner disturbance by 30%. Coil mattresses are best for those who want a bed with breathability, bounce, and reliable support.

A mattress can last around 10 years. This is highly dependent on the mattress however! A lower cost thin foam mattress might give you 5 years of service before the foam loses its bounce. A high quality mattress should give you a full 10 years – or even more - of great sleep. To prolong the life of any mattress it’s important to use a quality mattress protector, vacuum your mattress regularly, and attend to damage or spills quickly.

A foam mattress is a mattress that is made of one or more layers of foam. The foam can be open or closed cell, memory foam or polyurethane foam. It might also have special coatings that help manage heat buildup in the mattress, prevent harmful bacteria, mould, and mildew from growing, or repel moisture or dust mites. Some advanced foams contain gel particles or thermal regulating technologies like graphene, copper, or diamond. Foam mattresses are usually more affordable than mattresses with spring systems, and they’re a solid sleep option for kids and guest rooms – many are also adjustable base friendly. Some all-foam mattresses are completely recyclable, which helps keep waste out of our landfills.
