Contrary to popular belief, when you’re purchasing a new divan bed, the mattress is just as important as the bed base itself, if not more important. Often, homeowners will spend a long time ensuring that the bed frame is perfect for their bedroom and they will then choose a mattress without much thought, however, the wrong mattress can lead to you tossing and turning all night long and waking up with aches and pains.
Nowadays, there are so many different divan mattresses available too, from memory foam mattresses to pocket sprung mattresses, that there really is the perfect solution for everyone and you don’t have to compromise on comfort. So, instead of rushing into purchasing a new mattress and choosing the wrong mattress, take some time to consider the following;
The position you sleep in
Many don’t realise that their sleeping position will play a vital role in purchasing divan mattresses that provides them with the right type of support, ensuring that they get a comfortable night’s sleep. Whether you sleep on your back, front or side will influence which mattress is able to contour to your body and ensure that all of your major joints are pressure-free when you lay down. So, think about your sleeping position before you choose a king size mattress for your bed base whether its an ottoman storage drawers bed or a divan bed.
How much you move during the night
Some people will naturally move around a lot in their sleep and whether you’re constantly changing position will also affect which type of mattress you should purchase. Even if you’re a wriggly sleeper, you still need a mattress that will support you enough so that you don’t wake up every time that you move. Of course, you also don’t want your movement to disturb your partner either and it is important to think about whether you need a motion isolation mattress.
Your body temperature when you sleep
It isn’t uncommon for people to be ‘hot sleepers’ and as the name suggests, they always feel hot during the night and their body temperature is much higher than others when they’re sleeping. If you tend to wake up sweating then it is worth looking into mattresses that are breathable and able to prevent you from overheating by absorbing your body heat. Having a mattress that can help to regulate your body temperature can ensure you sleep much better.
Any injuries or pains you have
When you have a long-term injury or you suffer from a specific pain somewhere in your body, this should always be taken into consideration when choosing a mattress. The right mattress will help to ensure that your injury or pain isn’t made worse by the way you sleep and the support, or lack of, being provided by your mattress. So, think about whether you need a mattress that can help to alleviate any discomfort in this regard.
Whether you have any allergies
Another thing that many aren’t aware of is that the mattress you have can actually make allergy symptoms much worse, meaning it is difficult to fall asleep at night. If you’re someone who suffers from allergies, then you may be best opting for a mattress that is hypoallergenic and contains allergen-resistant materials which naturally keep things like pollen, dust and pet dander away. This type of mattress will help to ease the symptoms you experience at night.
Your partner’s sleeping needs
Whenever you’re choosing new divan mattresses, it goes without saying really that you need to think about your partner’s sleeping needs as well. Ensure that you’re also considering all of the above in relation to them so that you purchase a mattress that enables both of you to easily get to sleep and then stay asleep all night long.
Purchasing a new mattress for your bed
All in all, there is no denying that choosing the right medium firm mattress is key to having a great night’s sleep and you will always thank yourself for taking the time to ensure that both your new bed and mattress are perfect for you. Hopefully, by considering everything mentioned above, you will find it easier to narrow down the vast selection of mattresses available on the market nowadays and you can make sure that you’re purchasing the right mattress for your bed.
