What type of mattress is best for my sleeping position?
Different mattress types suit different sleeping positions. Side sleepers often prefer more cushioning, while back and front sleepers may benefit from firmer support to help maintain proper alignment.
What’s the difference between pocket spring, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses?
Pocket spring mattresses offer responsive, targeted support, memory foam moulds to the body for pressure relief, and hybrid mattresses combine both for a balance of comfort and support.
How firm should my mattress be?
Mattress firmness is a personal choice influenced by body weight, sleep position, and comfort preference. Trying different firmness levels can help you decide whether soft, medium, or firm support feels right.
Are orthopaedic mattresses suitable for everyday use?
Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to provide firmer, more structured support and are suitable for everyday sleeping, particularly for those who prefer a supportive feel.
How often should a mattress be replaced?
Most mattresses are recommended to be replaced every 7–10 years, depending on usage and material. Changes in comfort, support, or sleep quality can be signs it’s time for a new one.
