Foam mattresses

Choosing a new mattress for your bed is not a decision to be taken lightly, especially when your health is at stake. You need to take into account your morphology and know exactly how comfortable you want your mattress to be, before you decide to buy one. All the more so as a mattress will accompany your nights' sleep for several years to come. To make sure you make the right decision and find the ideal balance between technology and comfort, there are a number of points to bear in mind.

Criteria for selecting a foam mattress

The first criterion concerns you directly. It's a well-known fact that, depending on your morphology, you have very different support requirements. On the whole, a mattress should be neither too soft nor too firm to keep the spine in place and avoid back pain. On the other hand, a firmer support is recommended if you suffer from lower back pain. If thickness counts, so do the dimensions of your mattress. The ideal measurement is to choose a mattress at least 15 to 20 centimetres larger than you, or the tallest person in the household. The bigger the bed, the more comfortable it feels.

Foam mattresses: technology for comfort

Whether it's a memory foam mattress, a special bultex mattress for a sofa bed, or a tri-technology mattress delivered rolled, the composition of the mattress is the key to ensuring the best possible support for your body. No one version is superior to another - it all depends on your expectations. The choice depends on your criteria and the price you're willing to pay. Foam mattresses are undoubtedly the most common because they adapt perfectly to different morphologies. Each foam mattress technology has its own characteristics. You'll find polyurethane foam, High Resilience (HR) foam and viscoelastic foam, commonly known as memory foam.

Polyurethane foam is ideal if you suffer from allergies, as it offers characteristic ventilation to prevent moisture build-up and thus the proliferation of dust mites. Lightweight, it's easy to turn over to avoid wear and tear on the same side. High-resilience foam provides precise support for the spine. The honeycomb honeycomb pattern greatly enhances the comfort of every part of your body. As for memory foam, its cutting-edge technology hugs your curves. It reduces pressure points and promotes blood circulation. Whatever your choice, the density should be greater than 25 kg/m3 for a child. The best is to choose a foam mattress with a minimum density of 30 kg/m3 for an adult. The higher the density, the greater the comfort and the longer the life of your mattress. What's more, memory foam ensures independent sleeping. Your partner can move at will, without affecting your sleep.
