Oxford Furniture • July 1, 2023

Don’t worry we have curated a list for you to decide on your perfect pick for the mattress and get that long due perfectly long and deep slumber. Read on from the following list curated by us to help you decide on your desired mattress.


Memory Foam Mattress

You take a foam to give it memory and it remembers your sleeping positions. Okay, giving it a memory might be personification but it does perform the latter function, How? Memory Foam Mattress employs an adaptable layer of padding with or without springs which enables it to remember how you sleep and provides a uniform and same sleeping experience for a deep slumber.

 

Innerspring mattress

Innerspring mattresses employ a steel coil support system as base material. The springs are either attached to a single unit or are individually wrapped in pocketed coils. The design of the spring, its shape, gauge, and number of coils are different in different mattresses as per the range available. You can decide which type you need and select the best fit for you though it is suggested that the greater number of coils provides more points of contact and hence more support.


Pillow-top mattress

Pillow-top mattresses are a new form of mattresses in the market and they have an extra layer of cushioning sewn onto the top of it and it feels super comfortable as if someone has put pillows on the top of it. These types of mattresses come in different foams and fibers.


Gel mattress

Gel Mattresses have gel infused in their base material or upholstery layers and sometimes both. Adding gel to the foam of the mattress is a tad bit technical but the comfort it gives you is pretty simple and all that you need to know, it’s super comfy!!


Dual Comfort Mattress

Dual the layers dual the comfort, i.e. Dual Comfort Mattresses employ two layers of foam and are bilateral and can be used from both sides. As the name suggests it’s dual and hence is comparatively a bit thicker than usual mattresses but this thickness is an enabler for extra comfort and you being able to use it from both sides. You can select from numerous varieties where sometimes both sides have memory foam or are a bit softer, sometimes it may employ firm or semi-firm on one side and memory foam on the other. Because of this duality, you can use it as per your needs and requirements.


Orthopedic Mattress

Nowadays a sedentary lifestyle and long hours of desk jobs have given birth to untimely backaches and joint pain, hence the demand demanded a supply from the market, and Orthopedic mattresses were born. As the name implies they are recommended for people suffering from orthopedic ailments or going through rehabilitation. These types of mattresses are made to provide support to bones and joints. The foam can be either firm or memory foam so that the back and joints remain in their natural position to induce healing and enhance overall health. They work as an enabler and facilitate rehabilitation as well as overall well-being.


Which Type of Mattress should you choose?

As every finger on our hand is of different lengths or as we all have unique fingerprints the same way no two people can experience the same comfort or discomfort on the same mattress. Everyone has a different sleeping style and hence based on that, you can choose a mattress that is suitable to your needs and liking. Apart from functionality pricing, size, and material also play a role so keep them all in mind before purchasing. On average a mattress lasts for 7-8 years and hence this is such an investment that should be made with deliberation and patience.
