Mattresses for a New Home

If you are moving into a new home, you are likely to need a new bed and a new mattress.  There are different types of mattresses available on the market and choosing the right one might not prove to be an easy task for you. Each of them comes with its own advantages.

Spring Mattresses

Spring mattresses have the big advantage of being cooler because the air circulates better between the springs. Another reason why people choose this type is because it can be used as an orthopaedic mattress due to its firmness.
Pocket spring mattresses offers the advantage of minimizing roll due to the independent pockets with springs. These pockets take the pressure of each part of the body. It is useful especially when you have two people of different weight sleeping in the same bed.

Foam Mattresses

Latex mattresses have the same advantage of being cooler. Moreover, they take the shape of the body, thus releasing body pressure. Because it changes according to the body shape, it is useful when there are people of different weight using it. It is also recommended for individuals who suffer from allergies.

Memory Foam mattresses, such as those that can be found at Memory Foam Mattress Direct, conform to your body weight and it shapes accordingly, so that the pressure release is greater. Furthermore, it offers a sleep with less discomfort. Because the pressure points on the body are not stressed during sleep, the less your body needs to move, giving you and your partner the much needed rest. Also, due to the fact that it takes the shape of your body, people of different weight can sleep on it without feeling the difference.

Although many people have heard of memory foam, not everyone is entirely familiar with what the product actually is. Would you recognise that memory foam is a visco elastic substance, for example, and did you know that it was originally manufactured for use by NASA?

Since the early 1990s, memory foam has been a huge hit in the bedding department, not only for the personal comfort it provides, but also for its brilliant orthopaedic and medical benefits. Although not everyone has embraced the memory foam mattress just yet, it is predicted that within several years memory foam mattresses will have replaced traditional mattresses altogether.

The unique open cell structure of the memory foam material reacts directly to the heat and weight of your body. When you lie down on it, it moulds itself around the curves and shape of your body, creating a cosy you-shaped nest for you to rest in.

This is beneficial because it means that your weight is distributed totally evenly throughout your body, eliminating the pressure points that usually exist when you are lying down on a harder surface. On a traditional mattress, only certain parts of your body are in contact with the mattress surface, and these become uncomfortable pressure points. Memory foam gets rid of these and therefore provides more support and comfort for your body.

Often recommended by GPs as an aid for recurring back ache, memory foam mattresses have also been used in hospital to aid with conditions such as pressure sores. However, these mattresses have become increasingly popular for use by the general public, and even if you are not suffering any kind of joint or back pain, sleeping on a memory foam mattress can reduce the chances of such conditions later in life. It will also help you get a good night’s sleep, which provides a range of other health benefits.
