A good night’s sleep is essential to your well-being. Therefore, the mattress you choose now could impact many aspects of your life for several years. Your mattress is a major life investment and sometimes people forget the real importance and the knock-on effect it will have on your night's sleep.
In this chaotic, contemporary world we live in, sometimes sleep takes a back seat and isn’t a priority for many. But as we do spend quite a lot of time on average asleep, at least ⅓ of our lives in fact, why not create the perfect environment for you to get that all-important sleep.

Find Your Perfect Mattress
If you are thinking about switching up your mattress and want to know the pros and cons of the different types, sizes, various fillings, back support, spring systems, comfort ratings and styles available, this is a useful buying guide to follow. It really is important to understand these differences between mattress types in order to find the most suitable mattress for you.
Light or restless sleeper?
Front, back, or side sleeper?
Back pain? Or just too hot at night?
Memory Foam Mattress?
Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam- is a high-density foam that softens in response to heat and pressure, which cushions the sleeper’s body producing a weightless feel and moulds itself to the body to help you relax and gives all-over support. Some memory foam mattresses have additional support layers of varying densities and special features like cooling gels are designed to combat the material’s natural tendency to trap body heat.
Pros
Reduces pressure points
Relieves pain
Absorbs movement
Hypoallergenic
Cons
Can sleep warmer than traditional upholstery foams.
Sinking feeling, some sleepers require support.

Pros
Comfortable & highly durable
Naturally derived
Supportive
Pressure-relieving

Continuous Coil & Open Coil Mattresses?
Coiled mattresses are a cost-effective type of mattress in the short term and feature a single piece of metal that is coiled into a continuous series of springs throughout the mattress. Certain coiled spring mattresses can move independently of each other and are responsive to pressure points increasing weight distribution. Open coil mattresses are best suited in a guest or child's room as they aren’t as durable as other types of mattresses.
Pros
Light and easy to turn over
Wide variety
Cost-effective
Many features
Cons
A shorter lifespan

Combination Mattress?
Looking for the best of both worlds? Combination mattresses feature both pocket springs and memory foam, gel or latex top to relieve pressure. You gain the support and independent movement of pocket springs together with the added comfort provided by the pressure-relieving material. The downside is that these mattresses can be expensive but it is doubtful that you will ever regret your investment.
Pros
Highly comfortable
Relieves pain
Independent movement
Cons
Too soft for some sleepers
