5 TIPS FOR BUYING A MATTRESS -

Buying a mattress has always been seen with mystique due to the general ignorance of everything that surrounds it and how these elements influence its price. This is due to the wide variety of materials and options we have to choose from today.

In order to have a concrete idea of what we have to look for when we are going to buy our new mattress, we are going to see the 5 tips for buying a mattress that you should follow if you want to be an expert in mattresses and know which are the best mattresses for you.

First tip for buying a mattress: You

That’s right, you’re the first thing we need to start with. You must take into account all your personal characteristics (weight, height, whether you are hot or cold…) to be able to find the firmness or material that a priori best suits you:

Your weight

There are four firmnesses (soft, medium, firm, and extra firm) that you need to be aware of. If you are overweight or weigh around 90 – 100 kg, buying a “firm” or “extra firm” mattress is the best option, as they will distribute your body’s pressure better along the mattress than one of a lower firmness. If you sleep on your back or move around a lot at bedtime, you will also benefit from these firmnesses. If you weigh less than this section, medium firmness is the most recommended, even soft if you value this soft and soft mattress more than the mattress.

Your height

In general, the best thing when buying your mattress is that it has 10 cm left over from the end of your feet to the length of the mattress, so you will not have to adjust uncomfortably to a space that is not designed for you. Measure the space where you are going to put your mattress well to know in what range you can move. As for the width with 75 cm is usually enough, for two people it would be double (150 cm) as a standard reference. At MiColchón® we can make mattresses of special sizes if you see that these or existing measurements do not suit you.

Your home

It is not the same to buy a mattress for your main residence as it is to buy a mattress for your holiday or rental home. You can still have the best mattresses of the best quality, only that by using less you can choose in a lower price range. At MiColchón® we have a whole line of rest equipment and accessories designed specifically for holiday apartments, rental flats, and hotels. In the mid-range we can offer mattresses such as those from our firms Nightland® or Nord Swiss® at a cheap price without giving up the comfort and convenience necessary for a good rest.

Your ailments

Back ailments or other injuries condition our sleeping posture and the perception of comfort that one material or another can give us. It is best to explain our situation in detail (if we have scoliosis, hernias or another type of injury) to our colchonologists. All of them are made up of renowned physiotherapists and will know what type of material or composition of these is the most suitable for you.

Your sleeping postures

If you sleep on your back, on your side or facing the mattress, your body rests different parts of its surface on it. In principle there is a basic premise, and that is that the worst posture for your back and a healthy rest is to sleep on your stomach. Then, taking into account whether you sleep on your back or side, assess the performance of the different materials, but don’t get overwhelmed, your mattressologists will help you choose the best material for you. As basic premises, comment that a viscoelastic mattress will be the one that best adapts to your body, because being a thermosensitive material, it adapts perfectly to the contour of your body without exerting pressure, as a spring mattress would. The choice of material also depends on whether you like the feeling of being welcomed by the mattress or that it is firmer. There are other materials such as high resilience foams or HR (High Resilience), latex, spring with multiple characteristics. The range of materials is immense, in addition to the materials patented by the world’s leading brands, such as the Tempur® material, the original patent for memory foam, or the Airvex® by Flex. Currently it is very interesting to know that there is already the Smart Bed, the IBedFlex® mattress, completely customizable and adjustable through your Smartphone.

Your rest equipment

You have to know that your comfort does not only depend on the mattress, since the base or base, the pillow even the covers and protectors of the mattress exert their influence on your rest. If the mattress is accompanied by personalized accessories, you will enjoy a unique comfort experience. In general, a base or sofa can offer extra space and firmness, pillows can give you ideal cervical support to make you more comfortable and a mattress cover that relieves your temperature in summer will help you rest better in that season, among many other combinations. We also have mattress toppers in case you want to give a touch more memory foam and adaptability to any mattress.

Second tip for buying a mattress: Where you live

Perhaps it is one of the most important tips for buying a mattress . You have to bear in mind that in areas where it is more humid, spring mattresses or pocket springs are the ones with the highest breathability capacity and therefore the ones that prevent the appearance of damp the most. The bed bases, bases and bed bases are now designed with 3D fabrics that promote air circulation throughout the rest system, so it is an option to take into account. If you live in a cold area you have to know that the behavior of your mattress will be different, a memory foam mattress will be harder in the Basque Country than in Andalusia, since with the heat of the south it will be softer.

Third tip for buying a mattress: Your budget

The most important thing is to have a general idea, you can find mattresses for second homes or rental homes from €49, depending on the characteristics. If you want a first home mattress from €300 – €400 you can find very interesting options, especially with our summer offers. The measurements and the material we have in mind to test also have an influence. A standard size of 90 x 190 cm is usually cheaper because it is a usual or standard size in the market and therefore more produced than an 80 x 190 cm size, which although it is smaller is less in demand and therefore with a higher price. Custom measurements are also more expensive as they have a specific manufacturing process and separate from the rest.

Materials are also an indicator: memory foam mattresses, pocket springs, spring mattresses, HR foams or latex mattresses are quite popular on the market, so there is a greater variety of prices. Other materials such as Tempur® do not, as they cost at least €655 and at most €1220. This margin is the lowest on the market and is only available at MiColchón, but if you want a good night’s sleep and comfort, a Tempur® or a Treca Interiors Paris® mattress is worth every euro in thousands of nights of good rest as they are mattresses made with care and unique raw materials on the market.

Fourth tip for buying a mattress: Your offers and promotions

If you know when to buy, whatever mattress you want can be a bargain price. At MiColchón® we have offers and discounts all year round and on all our products. Our desire is to be able to offer you the rest system you need at the best price available.

Fifth tip for buying a mattress: Trust our mattressologists

As a last tip for buying a mattress, it is best not to try more than 5 mattresses, as our ability to remember the different comfort levels of each one is limited and we can get confused. To “hit the shot” it is best that, following these tips, you get a concrete idea of what you would like to try and explain your situation and preferences to our mattressologists. They will narrow down the options in our catalogue to 2 or 3 mattresses ideal for you, advising you along the way according to all your doubts and recommending postures or habits to get the most out of your new mattress. Explain your situation and preferences and you will see how you will find what you are looking for.

Finally, at MiColchón® we have ALL the leading brands in the world of rest at the best price there can be, both in our physical stores and on our website. If you follow these tips and the advice of our mattressologists you will be able to find the best mattress for you with the greatest savings.
