Choosing The Best Beds R Us Mattress (or any brand, really)...

 We have all been in this familiar position when shopping for goods that we know little to nothing about…

Standing with a salesperson while they ask us qualifying questions in order to ascertain what it is that we actually need (as opposed to what we want or think we need). Listening to their recommendations and thinking to ourselves “is this information and recommendation based purely on my best interests, or is the product being recommended based on what is best for the salesperson? Do they get more commission based on selling this product over that one? Is there some incentive for them to move this one over that one?

Go In With Knowledge From Beds R Us at Rowes

This blog is for those of us who would like to go in with knowledge so that we can trust, at the very least, that the salesperson is getting the fundamentals right!

Let’s talk less about brands of mattress, Toowoomba and more about the internals of this incredibly important investment into your sleep… after all, the better sleep you get literally equates to a better day and better overall health!

The Core Of Your Beds R Us Mattress Is The Pocket Springs

There are a couple of different types of spring that you need to look for when it comes to your mattress, Pocket Springs and Inner Springs.

Firstly, let’s look at Pocket Springs. These guys are like suspension in your car in that they are each operating independently but for the good of the whole support system. If you were to open up your Beds R Us mattress to look at these springs, you would find that each one sits alone in its own little wrapped pocket (hence the name!). The idea with these is that they contour EXTREMELY well to your body and  offer superior reduction in partner disturbance… you’ll sleep better and so will your spouse (happy spouse, happy house!).

Pocket springs are best for people who sleep on their side and people who suffer from back pain.

Innersprings (think a SEALY mattress, Toowoomba) are all interconnected with wires, one to the next. This creates a bed that is more “bouncy” generally a bit more affordable and breathes extremely well. They also have possibly the BEST sidewalls that mattress stores in Toowoomba can offer (that means that you can use the ENTIRE mattress, all the way to the edge without feeling like it is going to let you roll off). On the downside, you’ll feel more partner disturbance because their springs are connected to your springs! 

Innerspring mattresses are best for people who sleep on their stomach and like a bouncy bed! 

Comfort Zones – The Jargon Sales People in Mattress Stores in Toowoomba Will Use (And That You Should Know)

Comfort Zones in a mattress are generally made up of denser foams and/or firmer springs.

Imagine a person laying on a sensor that tells them where they are heaviest in their body. If they are laying flat on their back, having the same amount of support for the entire mattress would  not really be comfortable and align their spine etc.

What needs to be achieved is MORE support under the heaviest parts like the shoulders and buttocks. LESS in the lightest areas like the head and feet and lower legs, and then medium support in the other areas. That’s all that comfort zones are. The more comfort zones a mattress has, the better it has been made with your overall comfort during sleep in mind.

This does generally convert to a slightly more expensive mattress as more has been put into the internals in order to achieve the result!

Other than those two major factors, you may mind yourself talking about various cooling gels and breathability, we’ll talk about that in another blog! 

For now, just make sure that you go in knowing HOW you sleep, HOW your partner sleeps, comfort zones ARE important… and most of all… Do NOT let the sales person hurry along your process. Bring a magazine or a book with you when you want to test your mattresses. You can’t tell how a mattress is going to feel to really rest on unless you stay in it for 20 – 30 minutes!

Make an adventure out of the purchase, bring your partner and rest!

Until next time, happy Zzz’s!
