Mattress Buying Guide

Traditional spring mattresses are made up of small coiled springs that move as one to support your body weight and reduce the build-up of pressure points overnight. These mattresses tend to be more economical and are the most common type of mattress. Traditional spring mattresses offer extremely high levels of support due to the even distribution of weight and are therefore suitable for those with back pain or spinal issues.

Pocket spring mattresses are the modern development to the traditional spring, as they also use coil springs, however, these are individually wrapped and move independently of each other. As each spring reacts to the pressure applied to it, these mattresses offer higher personalised support, supporting your weight individually. These are especially ideal if you toss and turn in the night, as your weight is supported throughout. 

A memory foam mattress uses layers of polyurethane to create a soft layer that moulds to your shape using body heat. Over time, memory foam remembers your sleeping position and shape and keeps that shape. Memory foam provides support across your whole body, evenly distributing weight to provide personalised targeted support and ease pain. Memory foam is also useful for those with allergies, as it is impenetrable to dust.

The Dual Season Mattress from Bae Beds has a unique feature that means it can be turned and rotated according to season. The cooler pocket sprung side for summer use, and the memory foam side for comfort in the colder months where heat retention is ideal.

A gel foam mattress combines a foam base with gel beads. The biggest benefit of a gel mattress is for those who overheat at night, as the gel works to reduce the build-up of heat within the base of the mattress, ensuring a cool night’s sleep is always possible. These mattresses are often the step up to memory foam, providing the comfort customers are used to, with additional benefits.

A natural mattress refers to any mattress that is manufactured using only naturally found materials. This can include cotton or wool, and often cashmere. The biggest benefit of these mattresses is the little impact they have on the environment, and are the ideal choice to support an eco-friendlier world. The natural fibres offer many health benefits, including temperature regulations and allergy control.

Many customers opt for a combination mattress, which combines springs and foam, to create a mattress that supports your weight and shape at all times. These mattresses are an amalgamation of all the benefits of the above mattress, and often come with many options and choices that you can purchase a mattress that is fully customisable to you.
