» » » How to pick the perfect mattress Here's all you need to know about your mattress. Any doctor will tell you that a good night's sleep is extremely important. And one of the basic requirements of sound sleep is the elusive 'perfect' mattress. But how do you distinguish between all the different varieties available? Anand Nichani, an expert of mattress technology gives us some pointers. Coir or foam mattresses? That is a misconception most people have. Foam mattresses are known for its extraordinary capacity for adapting to the pressure exercised by the body and to the body heat. The heat makes materials malleable and all polyurethanes are subjected to this. Memo foam mattress responds mainly to the pressure of the body rather than to the heat, as we know that heat interacts much slower than the weight; so we can easily presume that it would take longer to adapt and even longer to recuperate to its original shape. And this feature makes you 'wake up feeling fresh'.
In the case of a coir mattress which is basically hard; it does not take the body shape and this creates pressure points, hindering a good night's sleep. Coir also tends to get compressed when body rests on it. Over a period of time, it does not regain back its original shape leading to sagging of the mattress. How much does a mattress affect quality sleep and relaxation? It is necessary for us to get complete rest especially when we spend one-third of our life on it. Accordingly, the mattress on which we sleep needs to be firm, yet gentle. If it is too hard, then it gets uncomfortable and hinders the quality of sleep. Only when the body gets quality sleep; we feel rejuvenated and relaxed. A mattress, in order to be proportionate to our body and to offer 100 % of all its comfort and quality, it must be 20 cm longer than us and at least 160 cm wide if sleeping in two. If sleeping on a single mattress, the width must be at least 90 cm in order to allow natural movement during the night.
It is to be noted that the distribution of weight is different according to our body and from one person to another and the perception of support and comfort is different. It is, therefore, very important to consider the variables that influence our rest when we sleep with another person. When sleeping on the same mattress; the pressure created is of two different bodies, which needs to be considered. Foam mattresses with memory are extremely soft, giving comfort to the body and against bed sores. It is highly breathable. Tips on how to take care of mattresses and how to keep them clean - A mattress must be laid on a plain surface. - Dimension of the mattress should be selected precisely. - Mattresses should have exclusive fabrics with zipper, which can be easily removed, dry cleaned and put back for use.

Enhance your tired mattress. 1 x Mattress topper Silentnight Deep Sleep Mattress Topper The Silentnight Deep Sleep Mattress Topper adds an extra layer of cosiness and comfort to your existing mattress. Designed to add a softer feel to over-firm or worn mattresses, the hollowfibre filling also offers more warmth than a simple sheet or mattress protector. Getting a good night's sleep is essential for all of us; but not everyone is happy with the comfort provided by the mattress they sleep on every night, and replacing a mattress can often seem like an unnecessary expense. That's why mattress toppers are increasingly popular, as you can choose something firm when your mattress is too soft, or something to add an extra layer of comfort to a mattress that's too firm or perhaps has seen better days.
The Silentnight Deep Sleep Mattress Topper falls into the second camp, as it is designed to add softness and comfort to an existing mattress. Thanks to its hollowfibre filling - which is exactly the same material that is used in Silentnight Deep Sleep Duvets - you should also feel much warmer in bed, as it's a little like sleeping on a slimline duvet as opposed to simply a mattress and top sheet. The soft hollowfibre filling is non-allergenic and this affordable Topper's poly cotton cover means it's also machine washable. This Silentnight Deep Sleep Mattress Topper comes in standard Double bed size, and is also available in Single and King sizes.
