A good sleep is the promise of a beautiful and energetic morning.
And for a blissful sleep, a good mattress is probably the only requirement apart from a peaceful state of mind.
In fact, comfortable mattresses can release all the pain and fatigue of the day and cradle you to a peaceful sleep.
However, you need to choose the right kind of mattress in order to get a good night's sleep.
While most furniture shops will recommend you the suitable one for you, being aware of the construction and the materials will help you choose the one which is customized to fulfill your requirements.
Here are some types of mattresses commonly available in the market.
Open Coil Open coil is the most common type of mattress.
A normal 50 size mattress consists of about 350 springs arranged in rows and joined by spiral wires at the top and bottom.
For a better variety which is known as "Posture Springs", a single length wire is woven into springs and is joined vertically rather than horizontally.
The coils in this case are considerably smaller giving a higher spring count and added comfort.
So, if you want a firmer mattress, a 12.
5 gauge wire will be a better choice than the 13.
5 gauge one.
This type of mattress are either budget oriented ones or mid-ranged in price.
Pocket Spring Pocket Springs are referred to small individual springs placed in a fabric pocket.
The number of springs is the spring count.
They are either joined to one another through the center of each spring or the pockets are joined to each other.
This helps each spring to individually trace the outlines of your body and help keep the position of the spine in proper posture.
This automatically reduces the pressure on hips and shoulders thus giving you a relaxed feeling of lying in the mattress and not on it.
Moreover, if two people are sharing the same mattress, the other partner will feel little or no movement if another partner shifts in his position.
Latex Latex is a natural and superb quality material derived from the rubber plant.
The latex foam is super elastic and recovers immediately once the pressure is removed.
The greatest advantage of this mattress material is it is hypo-allergenic.
Its anti-microbial properties inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and dust mites and saves people with respiratory problems from various infections.
It provides perfect comfort and back support.
Moreover, latex mattresses do not require subsidiary fillings to be stuffed into them.
Memory Foam The Memory foam is a Visco Elastic Mattress.
It moulds itself according to your body temperature and pressure.
It has good pressure relieving properties as well as is hypo-allergenic.
By altering the thickness of the Visco elastic material used, you can achieve different levels of firmness and comfort to suit your body's requirement.
Like latex mattresses, you need not turn these ones as they are elastic and do not require any additional filling like cotton, coir or extravagant ones like silk and cashmere.
Rather than choosing the best mattress available, you need to choose the one that suits your body's requirements and the one you are most comfortable in.
