1. The essential criteria

The firmness

The firmness of a mattress designates the feeling of hardness or flexibility felt when you lie on it. It depends on several factors, including the composition and internal structure of the mattress. Each level of firmness has specificities and advantages adapted to different types of sleepers:

• Flexible (soft, soft): Uniform weight distribution, minimizing pressure points, suitable for relieving joint pain and provides a feeling of comfort and softness. It is suitable for light to medium and lateral sleepers, marrying hips and shoulders for more comfort.
• Balanced or universal: Suitable for a wide range of sleepers thanks to its versatility and adapted to those who frequently change position during the night. This mattress is particularly suitable for couples with various preferences and people often changing position while sleeping.
• Farm and very firm (hard): Excellent support for the spine, especially for sleepers on the back, reduces the risk of downturn over time and favored by those who suffer from back pain. Experts often recommend this mattress for heavier people or athletes

The type

There are three large families of technologies to choose your mattress. Each option has its own characteristics, making the choice sometimes complicated.

Foam mattress (polyurethane): These are the most common foam mattresses. They have good ventilation ensuring air circulation and ventilation in the best conditions. They have a higher or lower density according to your sleeping preferences.

Spring mattress (puffed): This type of mattress represents the most advanced technology in terms of springs. They ensure excellent ventilation and very good maintenance of the spine. They concede a very good independence of sleeping and are particularly recommended for people of high corpulence, thanks to the firm support they can offer.

Hybrid mattresses: The hybrid mattresses are a mixture of three foams and the technology of pierced springs. It offers a happy medium between firm support and flexible reception. The alignment between the back and the spine is optimum, the pressure points are reduced, which offers a real feeling of freedom and independence of sleeping.

Foam mattress (shape memory): This type of mattress is recommended for people with back problems. They are composed of viscoelastic foam. Its comfort zones and soft support relieve body pressure points on the mattress. There memory foam offers good sleeping independence.

The sizes

Choosing a good size mattress is good for morale! The good news is that there are standard mattresses of mattresses that are identical from one brand to another.

There are three simple rules to take into account to choose the size of your mattress:

• Length: For optimal comfort, the length of your mattress must be 15 cm higher than your size, to prevent any overflow on your feet.
• The width: Knowing that in average, we return 40 times a night, also think of a width suitable for your marital situation and your corpulence. For two adults, we advise you to opt for a 160 cm wide mattress.
• The thickness: We advise you to bet over a thickness greater than 20 cm. The thicker the mattress, the greater the comfort.

2. The maintenance and lifespan of a mattress

A quality mattress has an average lifespan of 8 to 10 years. However, its maintenance is essential to guarantee its longevity and hygiene. Here are some practical tips:

• Air your mattress regularly: Open windows and let air circulate helps reduce humidity and prevents the development of mites and mold.
• Use an alse or a mattress protector: This avoids spots, humidity and accumulation of bacteria.
• Support your mattress once a month : This practice helps to eliminate dust and allergens.
• Turn it over every 6 months: To distribute the wear uniformly, it is recommended to turn it over (from head to toe and back on the back if possible).
• Clean the spots immediately: Use a damp cloth with soft soap.
