Sleep Experts’ Mattress Insights For Your Sleeping Pleasure

How to Get a Better Sleep

Mattress Insights for Your Sleeping Pleasure by Recognized Sleep Experts

A regular mattress is just that: an ordinary sleeping surface. On the other hand, the ideal mattress is customized to support your body and offer long-term comfort no matter your unique sleeping habits.

In fact, sleep experts now recommend that you look out for the mattress type that closely mirrors your sleeping habits if you want deep, satisfying sleep that will change your waking life for good.

Finding an ideal mattress, though, can be intimidating given the huge catalogue of mattress types, personal considerations, manufacturers, pricing packages, and so on.

But how do you change your mattress? How do you even know that a change of your current mattress is long overdue? What criteria do you use to find an ideal mattress for you? And what is the best mattress for back pain? Today I will share with you mattress insights to help you get the best rated mattress for your sleeping pleasure.

When do You Need to Change Your Mattress?

Wear and tear on a mattress literally creeps up from behind and is hard to spot just by looking at the mattress.
But if you have used yours for over 8 years, it is time you said so long to it, according to both the National Sleep Foundation and Better Sleep Council.

But a study conducted at Oklahoma State University indicated that people who changed their mattress every 5-7 years enjoyed deeper, rejuvenating sleep and had fewer back, hip and joint pain issues than those that sought to extinguish their 8-10-year warranties.


After all, you might have gained weight significantly during this time and have gradually softened the mattress faster than the warranty would have anticipated. So you might want to reconsider your mattress manufacturer’s warranty tag as a performance or “shelf life” indicator.

Here are some more signs that your mattress needs a change:

• When you consistently wake up feeling your back and joints screaming and aching

• If you notice sagging spots on it, or you sag when you lie on it

• When your mattress squeaks or the box spring creaks one too many times

• If your mattress has the hallmark signs of dust mite infestation or is pampering your dust allergies

• When you no longer wake up feeling well rested and some other spots (like the couch) feel more comfortable.

What are the Types of Mattresses Available?

Nowadays, you will find a huge collection of mattresses ranging from latex, memory foam, innerspring to water-core and air-filled mattresses. There are also mattresses made out of synthetic, organic and hybrid materials.
Still, you will find a host of varying purchase contracts from different sellers, which can be overwhelming.

Zach Davis from Sleep Holic argues that the best way to choosing the best rated mattress is to listen to your own sleeping needs. That includes choosing one that minimizes tossing and turning, is well ventilated, is hypoallergenic, and that strikes a good balance between comfort and support.

To gain the hands-on experience, be sure to take advantage of the sellers’ night trials at home offers to get a feel for whether a certain mattress is right for you.

What’s your Sleeping Posture?

If you are looking to buy a new mattress, you’ll first want to identify your best sleeping posture or ideal sleeping position.

Most people sleep on their back (back sleepers) or stomach (stomach or front sleepers) or side (side sleepers). Thanks to this knowledge and advanced sleep technology, mattress manufacturers across the globe have made ideal mattresses for each type of sleeper.

Back sleepers can get a good mattress that allows them to get maximum support from a medium firm sleeping surface which helps to align their spine’s natural curvature for better, healing sleep.

Stomach sleepers can also find the best mattress for front sleepers that offer a good mix of cushy comfort and firmness for supporting the whole body in this position.

Side sleepers can also choose mattresses that allow them to reduce pressure points when asleep while ensuring their spine’s natural curve is retained to avoid back, hip and joint pain.


Considering you will spend one-third of your life asleep, you might want to invest in a good mattress that, like a good pair of running shoes will help you avoid injury and run faster, will also make your sleeping experience pleasurable, healing and rejuvenating.

So, how well do you sleep? What type of mattress are you sleeping on and do you actually know how old your current mattress is? Or do you know any more great tips on how to get a better sleep?

8 years and then a new mattress. Finally I have found some signs to look at of when to replace a mattress 😀

Are you aware of a mattress that is suitable for someone who has multiple sleeping positions?

hahaha, That’s true. But in my opinion, most people sleep for a large time in the same position.

That can change from time to time. Currentyl I have been sleeping in the side sleeper position for a while now 😀
