Finding The Best Mattress For Couples

January 24, 2015

Bed Cartography

The group of people who have the toughest time shopping for a mattress is couples.

They not only have to get the comfort level right for each partner but there are two other big factors they must consider in order to have a great night sleep.

I am going to go over the two issues they face when shopping for a mattress and give my recommendations to help point them in the right direction.

     Go big or go home!

If you share a bed with your significant other always choose a king size mattress.

Even if it takes up the whole room.

For ten years my wife and I slept on a queen size mattress and when we finally upgraded to a king size we were instantly on cloud nine.

Sharing a queen size bed with someone only gives you 30 inches of personal sleeping space, which is 8 inches less than a twin size mattress.

Yikes!

And if you and your spouse are sharing a full size mattress then you each have about the same sleeping space as the width of a crib size mattress.

I’m sure you don’t want to literally sleep like a baby.

So rule number 1 always opt for a king size when you are sharing your bed.

     Motion creates emotion.

You may have heard Tony Robbins say that just before he got you fired up and ready to take on the world but it’s true.

It’s true in life and it’s true in bedding.

If you have ever been woken up by your significant other because of their tossing and turning causing the whole bed to shake, then you know very well their motion has stirred up a whole lot of unhappy emotions with you.

If this is an issue for you (which it is for most couples who share a bed) then your choice of mattress should either be a memory foam mattress, a latex mattress, or a pocketed coil mattress.

A memory foam mattress provides the least amount of motion transfer, which is then followed by latex and then followed by a pocketed coil mattress.

My wife and I used to own pocketed coil mattress and although we couldn’t feel each little movement one another made we were able to tell when the other got out of bed.

When we upgraded our mattress to a latex mattress we could no longer feel the other getting in and out of bed.

Each of these three types of mattresses will do a good job of separating the motion so it will be up to you to find out which is most comfortable to you.

If you can think of any other issues couples face when shopping for a mattress leave them in the comment section below as we would love to help you out.

The feeling of a good night's sleep is incomparable. You get to wake up feeling revitalized, energized and ready to take on the day. Did you know that up until now you have probably spent over 25% of your life sleeping? This makes your bed one of the most important pieces of furniture in your household. However, it is your latex hybrid mattress that offers appropriate softness and flexibility to help keep your spine in its natural position. A good mattress goes a long way towards mitigating back pain and improving your general health. It improves your memory, helps you gain sharp focus, mental alertness, a healthy weight, curbs inflammation, spurs creativity, and improves productivity and athletic grades while adding years to your life. These are some of the reasons why you need to invest in a high-quality mattress. Allergies An old mattress accumulates dust, mites and other allergens over the years. This can cause a flare up of your allergies. If vacuuming your mattress and cleaning your bedding using hot water does not seem to do the trick, this is a clear indication that you need to invest in a new high-quality mattress. Improves your memory Comfort is key to a good night sleep. Studies show that people who get adequate sleep do better on tests and learn new things such as languages faster than those who don't. This is because when you get restorative sleep, your brain gets time to practice the things that you learned throughout the day. Protects your spine Your spine works throughout the day to ensure your body is well coordinated. For this reason, it needs adequate rest to stay strong. Sleeping on an old mattress or one that is of poor quality puts your back at risk of muscle fatigue and other back problems. Sleeping on a good quality mattress allows your body to rest in its natural position, relax your muscles and ensures you get sufficient sleep that is refreshing. Decreases appetite Lack of sleep has been associated with an increase in hunger and appetite, which eventually leads to obesity. Sleep loss stimulates the craving for high carbohydrate and high-fat foods. A good night’s sleep, on the other hand, can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Reduces stress A restless night leads to stressful days. If you sleep on a poor quality mattress, you probably wake up with aches and pains in your body. This is because the bed does not give your body sufficient support when you lie down to sleep. This, in turn, leads to stress related factors such as headaches and being in a bad mood throughout the day. Your mattress is your personal choice There is no one-size-fits-all mattress. Different mattresses fit different body types and height. Buying the wrong mattress can lead to physical pain. When purchasing your mattress, always ensure that it provides you with optimal comfort.
