Both mattresses for you and those for your family should provide comfort and have functionality that meets the needs of users. Both the choice of the type of mattress, as well as the specific size of the mattress, is therefore a key issue to satisfy them. Meanwhile, most mattress manufacturers hide their actual parameters, which makes it much harder to compare them.

So although it may seem that buying a mattress is simple, the purchasing process is complicated when you have specific requirements and relevant knowledge. In fact, finding the best mattresses for you and your family can be extremely difficult. This is mainly due to the tricks that sellers in most stores pledge on us.

Mattresses for you – the kingdom of one person

The most common mattresses for you and no one else, i.e. single mattresses, have a standard length of 200 centimeters, while their width generally does not exceed 120 centimeters.

With little space at your disposal, you should think about the 80x200 mattress, which is the narrowest mattress in the offer of most stores. For health reasons, however, it is recommended that it be at least a 90x200 mattress or wider.

People who can afford a larger bed will find it much more comfortable to sleep on a 100x200 mattress. However, if you need a large sleeping surface, the perfect mattress for you will be a 120x200 mattress.

Such mattresses allow you to enjoy sleeping alone and set your own rules in your own bed. Provided, of course, that they qualitatively meet the 10 criteria for the best mattress, and only until you start hosting someone in your bed. Then the width of the mattress not exceeding 120 centimeters may not be enough. Unless it's a small dog, cat or raccoon.

Mattresses for you – evenings with the other half

If you are looking for a mattress for you and your other half, i.e. a suitable double mattress, first of all, congratulations on a successful relationship! We also assume that you are primarily looking for a sex-friendly mattress that will allow you to enjoy the evenings, nights, mornings and days spent together.

Therefore, it should be a mattress made of highly elastic foam, which will be properly designed in terms of each layer. It is difficult in such a situation to afford a harmful, and at the same time noisy spring mattress with every movement or a memory mattress collapsing due to human body temperature.

For a small bedroom, the best choice will be a 140x200 mattress, which is, however, less popular than the 160x200 mattress that is most often bought. Both of these sizes, if we buy the right mattress, can provide both functionality and unlimited comfort during use.

Mattresses for you – with a larger family

As the family grows, the mattress for you and your new members should also increase in width. Not only when you use cosleeping, which assumes sleeping together with children, but also when sleeping separately. We must remember that even if the child sleeps in his own bed, the frequent parental practice of most of us proves that he spends more than one night on his parents' mattress.

When choosing mattresses for you and your family, which includes children, you should pay attention not only to comfort, but also to its greater resistance to external factors. When sleeping with children, it is crucial that the mattress cover is removable, and the mattress itself is hypoallergenic and easy to clean.

First of all, we should exclude natural mattresses that are a source of various allergens. Basically, everyone should avoid them, because it is potentially harmful to each of us. However, especially for children, for whom bugs in the mattress will never be a pleasant experience.

When it comes to the size of the mattress for you and a family with children, the best choice is, of course, a 180x200 mattress, whose width is optimal. However, for smaller bedrooms, a 160x200 mattress is used, which should also not cause negative sensations when sleeping in several people.

Mattresses for you – a universal choice

Regardless of whether you buy a mattress exclusively for yourself or also for other people, you should always be guided by the same criteria when making your choice. Each of us has the same spine, whose physiological shape also remains the same.

It doesn't matter what kind of body shape we are when choosing a mattress, i.e. what height or weight we have. It is true that due to these differences, the number of weight accumulation points is different for each of us, but they are distributed proportionally on the mattresses. Hence, a good mattress will work the same for two people of different physiques.

What matters is what sleeping position we adopt. For back and side sleepers, who make up about 93% of the population, a mattress with a hardness of between 5,0 and 7,0 is recommended. Meanwhile, stomach sleepers should sleep on mattresses with a hardness of 6,0 to 9,0.

According to hotel tests and in-depth analyzes of other studies, almost 100% of the population receives the best support for the body and spine on a mattress whose hardness is 6,5. It is this firmness of the mattress that is universal and ideal. Both for health and the broadest sense of sleep hygiene.

FAQ: Mattresses for you and your family

How to test a mattress in a stationary store?

The mattress cannot be tested in a stationary store. The conditions that prevail there do not in any way reflect those prevailing during sleep. We do not sleep in clothes, with light and under the supervision of the controllers or customers around us. our bodies are strengthened while we sleep, which we cannot help. In addition, the materials from which the mattresses are made can last for several hours to reveal their properties.

Can a mattress conform to the spine?

Yes. Choosing the right one affects the fact that it will not provide proper body support and movement in an upright position. This, in turn, leads to pain in the spine, and also causes or aggravates its diseases. Therefore, people who care about their spine should pay attention to choosing the perfect mattress.

Can two people of the same weight sleep on the same mattress?

Yes. Mattress firmness and types are not selected based on weight. Height and weight determine the number of weight accumulation points, but this on good mattresses is distributed outside. Thus, a mattress with a mattress with an increased content, which is 6.5 for especially 93%, will be suitable for people of weight and height.

Will a physiotherapist help me choose a mattress?

No. Generally physiotherapists are not taught about mattresses in any way. So they have no idea what mattresses are made of and what properties specific materials have. Most often, they also do not know how to choose the firmness of the mattress. Physiotherapists found in stationary stores very often limit themselves to tests that have no substantive basis. Their task is, as a rule, to give the impression that a given store cares about the health of customers in a professional manner. Their presence increases the authority of the store in the eyes of the average consumer. Their knowledge, however, is useful at the stage of designing mattresses, but only a few physiotherapists have an idea about it.

Are supermarket mattresses good?

No. More often than not, the mattresses sold in supermarkets are characterized by extremely low quality and ridiculously high margins. Both those sold for a few hundred euros, and produced for about a hundred euro, and those sold for several thousand euros, and produced for several hundred euros. In addition, so far it has probably not happened that a mattress from a supermarket has a full specification of the materials used in its production, and above all, the type, density and hardness of polyurethane foams.
