After a long and exhausting day, everyone needs their bed to get a good night’s sleep. But long and sound sleep is only possible if you have a comfortable mattress. As people spend around 10 hours a day (or even more) on mattresses, especially with work from home, consumers must as well spend enough time while making such purchase decisions. People do not even realise that their poor sleep quality, body aches, and pain at pressure points could be attributed to the overall mattress quality. There are studies that show poor mattress quality lead to chronic back pain, obesity, heart issues, weak immunity, and throat irritation. However, if consumers with special needs (such as the elderly and expecting mothers) ignore the importance of proper sleep, the consequences could be even direr.
Hence, a consumer must realise that the ‘one size fits all’ theory doesn’t work when choosing the correct mattress. The first step is to acknowledge such issues, especially for the vulnerable users such as working professionals, kids, young mothers and mothers-to-be and elderly users.
Here’s how a perfect mattress plays a crucial role in providing good sleep:
1. Understanding and acknowledging individualistic needs: As mentioned before, the first step is to realise that every individual, especially the mentioned category of consumers, have a distinct need and based on factors such as age, lifestyle, and health of the users, different range of mattresses should be chosen.
2. Moderate firm mattresses for working professionals: Working professionals can have prolonged working hours under extreme physical and mental stress. Since they lead an active lifestyle, it is best that they go for mattresses with moderate firmness. Like Powermatt range of mattresses comes with an ideal balance of comfort and firmness. It is specifically designed for consumers to bounce back on it after a long and tiring day. There are a variety of options available in this range like Hexa, Neofit, Spirit, Uplift, Endurance pro and Dynamo.
3. Extra firm mattresses for the elderly and mothers-to-be: Elderly users have a completely different set of needs. With age, the back and body need more support during sleep, hence, it is best for them to go for mattresses with extra firmness. In fact, mothers-to-be also have a similar requirement during pregnancy. Some wellness collection mattresses are exclusively designed for providing great posture and support to the back and body. Spine support and back support mattresses have rebonded foam that offers extra firmness. Even Ortho active mattresses come with a combination of rebonded foam and refurbished coir, which gives unmatched firmness and comfort.
4. Softer mattresses for kids: Like the other mentioned users, kids also need a sound sleep in their growing years. Poor quality of sleep during the crucial years could affect the overall growth and development of children. However, unlike the other mentioned categories, kids need softer mattresses. Pocketed spring and Bonnel spring mattresses are an ideal fit for kids.
5. Talking with experts: Different mattress companies provide consultation that can help the consumers in taking a well-informed decision related to this lifestyle purchase. There are modern solutions aimed to address the exact needs of a distinct segment of users. Hence, in case of any doubts or issues, one should not hesitate in consulting with experts who could provide valuable inputs and guidance.
Summing up
Ignoring the importance of sound sleep could result in a number of issues. Different reasons affect a good night’s sleep and the overall quality of the mattress is one of such crucial aspects.
