A GOOD night’s sleep is one of the best ways to maintain and improve your health. Considering that we spend much of our life sleeping, having a mattress that is comforting and supportive is one of the best investments you can make to improve quality of life.
The Sleep Foundation has provided helpful information to help you if you are looking to purchase a new mattress and unlock better sleep.
Comfort is subjective and different materials will all feel differently to sleep on, but different levels of firmness are one factors that sets different sleepers apart.
The Sleep Foundation explained, “If you’re not sure what firmness level is right for you, there are a few ways to help identify what might be the best fit, such as consider your weight and sleeping position to narrow down a range,
“Reflect on whether you’ve found yourself wishing for a harder or soft mattress when using your current one at home or if you’ve recently stayed at a hotel. For reference, most hotel mattresses are Medium to Medium Firm, which have the widest overall appeal.
“Visit a local mattress store as a research mission and try out some beds. Make sure to stay on a mattress for at least 10-15 minutes to really evaluate what’s comfortable.
Retail staff at any good outlet store will be able to help pair you to the most appropriate bed. For more information and advice, visit sleepfoundation.org.
