Most Important Thing : Comfort
The most important thing that you should look for, while buying a bed, is the comfort. Unless and until the bed is comfortable, you won’t enjoy sleeping on it. Therefore, you should always sit for a while on the bed and check if you can feel the comfort or not.Here are some questions you should ask yourself when you are thinking at comfort :
- How does it feel? As I’ve already said – “A bed is a long term investment, and you’ll have it for about 10 years” …think careful at this line, you must feel really good.
- Is it soft enough to be comfortable yet firm enough to give support?
- Does it seem to conform to the shape of your body?
If you cannot find a comfortable position no matter how you lie, you probably have the wrong mattress. I’m not saying that the right bed or mattress will cure your insomnia or sleep, but a bed or mattress that’s uncomfortable or unsuited to your needs will add to sleep problems.
Tip : In this video you’ll learn what your body really needs in a bed for maximum comfort.
Choose a Good Mattress
The mattress is the heart of your bed and the part of the purchase you should spend most time and money on. The secret of having a good night’s sleep is the mattress and bed base you choose. Always remember that a ‘bed’ is a mattress and a base working together, you should not consider them in isolation and should ideally always try them together.
If you go on vacation and sleep better on the hotel bed than on your bed at home….you may need a new mattress. Pay attention to how your body feels in the morning. Aches and stiffness could be a sign that your mattress needs to be chucked.There are all kinds of mattresses these days, innersprings, foam, airbeds, futons, waterbeds – just to name a few. But when choosing a mattress, it all depends on you and what you like.
For instance, if you sleep on your tummy, you would probably prefer a softer mattress. If you sleep on your back, you may want something more firm. The only way to find out is to try out the mattress. Go to the store, lay on the mattress for a few minutes in the position you usually sleep. If it’s not comfortable, move on the next bed.
Don’t be afraid to test out the mattress in the store! And if you share a bed with someone, be sure to shop together. Test mattress support by lying beside your sleeping partner you shouldn’t roll toward each other and one person shouldn’t feel motion as the other leaves the bed. If a bed is too soft, you will sink into it,putting unnecessary strain on your muscles, or roll towards the middle. If it is too hard, it will not mould to the contours of your body.
There are many types, each giving different levels of comfort and support.You just have to choose what you like.
How to Find a Good Bed ?
Many people make this mistake just buying the first thing to have a place to sleep that night.To find the best for you, ask friends, lie on some in the stores, spend a night in a good hotel, and try as many as you can.In this way you’ll improve your experience and you’ll send your money wisely.
Now if you want to buy a new bed you just have to go to a showroom and try as many beds as you can. Take your time and try more than one bed in the showroom so ensure you make the right choice. To test a bed, make sure you are wearing comfortable clothes, take off shoes and outdoor clothing and lie down on the bed.
Don’t just sit on the edge and bounce up and down, actually lay down and stay there for ten minutes or more. If the store doesn’t like you doing this then they’re in the wrong business – take your money to a different store. Do not be embarrassed about lying on the beds in the showroom – that is what they are there for!
Remember that taking the time to try a new bed is a 10-minute investment to ensure you get 10 years of comfortable sleep.
