Things to Consider While Buying a Bed and Mattress
Most of the people suffer various
problems because of a bad bed. Moreover, they do not realize it until the
problem gets worse. If you feel even slightly uncomfortable while lying in your
bed, maybe it is time to get it repaired or buy a new one. The same goes with
your mattresses too. However, buying a new bed or mattress can sometimes be tricky.
People may end up trusting big brands and buying costly beds or mattresses and
may still not feel completely comfortable. A big portion of our daily lives
goes into sleeping or lying on beds. So, there should not be any problem in
doing some research before you choose a comfortable bed or mattress for your
home. In this article, we will tell you some things which you should consider
while buying bed and mattresses.
What Should You Consider While
Buying Bed and Mattresses
1) First of all, you should discard
the price and look at the construction of your bed or mattress. It is not
necessary that an expensive bed or mattress would be worth buying. On the other
hand, it is not necessary that a cheap bed would be a good option. It also
depends on the construction of the bed and mattress. The springs should rest in
their own pockets. They should not collide with other springs. In cheaper
mattresses, a single wire forms the spring. This can be fine in the beginning,
but can give problems in the long run.
2) The support of your mattress
can be tested by lying on the bed with a partner. You should not feel any
difference in the texture or comfort as your partner leaves the bed. The coil
count and the gauge wire are indicators of firmness. If there are more coils,
the bed would be firmer. On the other hand, the bed would be soft if the coil
count is less. If the wires are thick, it can compensate for fewer coils. A
lower gauge is an indicator of thicker wires. You should always buy a mattress
which is neither too soft nor too firm.
3) You can even consider a waterbed
or an air bed if you have back problems. These beds have electronically
controlled air pockets which can adjust the firmness of your bed according to
your own needs and requirements. However, your floor should be able to
accommodate the weight of a waterbed. You should not buy one if you have wooden
flooring. You should also check the rubber and foam density. You should go with
dense foam as it is usually heat sensitive and adjusts according to the
temperature of your room and body mass.
4) The last step is to determine the
size which you are going to buy. You can buy standard 4ft beds
or you can go for bigger ones too. However, if you are buying for the
children’s room, a bed 4ft
would be the best option.
