News & Guides — Mattress Buying Guides

Most people don't realise that sleeping position should influence the mattress they buy.

Around three quarters of adults spend at least some of the night sleeping on their side. While this position is often considered one of the healthiest for spinal alignment and snoring reduction, it also places far greater pressure on the shoulders and hips than sleeping on your back.

A mattress that feels wonderfully supportive when lying on your back can feel far too firm once you roll onto your side. Instead of allowing your shoulder and hip to sink in slightly, it pushes back against them, leading to discomfort, numb arms and frequent tossing and turning.

A mattress does more than provide comfort. During sleep, your body repairs muscles, relieves pressure on joints, and recovers from the day. Discover The Recovery Standard and the three key factors every mattress should provide: spinal alignment, pressure relief, and temperature control.
