A good mattress or any mattress worth buying has a certain set of qualities to look out for, and it is not just the material used. You can be sure that there is no singular concept of the best bed mattress. But, what exists is the concept of mattresses that work for you, and mattresses that let you sleep soundly. After the core functionality and experience are nailed down, you can accentuate it with design, additional functions, among other things.

If you are looking for a great or let’s say phenomenal bed mattress, let’s start with the basics first. Finding the best quality mattresses online depends on your requirement, material in use, density, shape, height, and design among other things. But finding one without over complicating things comes down to your personal choice and requirement which makes it the “best” mattress for you. Before finding out where to buy some of the best mattresses let’s finalize how to decide on what works for you:

Factors that make your mattress the “best mattress” for YOU:
When you are looking to upgrade or find a new mattress that suits you, it is important to consider all factors before you take the final step. This is essential because you want to make the best long-term purchase decision that helps you sleep soundly and relax just the same.

1. Materials: High-quality materials in use for mattresses dictate how well each mattress lasts and feels to you. That is, apart from the outer materials and visually appealing design, the main work of the mattress goes on inside. A high-quality mattress, irrespective of the material(s) in use, ensures that the quality is the highest to last long and deliver the performance as expected. Moreover, apart from long-lasting life, a high-quality mattress also ensures proper density, materials free of toxic chemicals among other factors. In some cases, even organic materials are used in mattresses and it is important they are used sustainably and built to last.

2. Comfort: Your comfort is the most important factor to look out for. That is, with the right mattress, it should be comfortable for you(and your partner), and adjust to your body type. Sleeping or relaxing on your mattress should feel serene instead of compensating in terms of excess softness, firmness which doesn’t suit your body. If you choose to settle for less, it would mean it might end up irritating you, in the long run, rendering the mattress useless. The best way to ensure that the mattress is comfortable for you is to give it a test run, research right, and see what your body needs. At the same time, comfort can be subjective, as you need to look out for comfort as per your body type. Going for an extra soft mattress that sinks under your body weight would feel comfortable for some time, but lead to chronic pains and other factors down the road.

3. Body Support: As mentioned above, comfort is only a subjective factor and you should also look out for your body. In other words, selecting a mattress as per your body type is also a critical decision. Being overweight or older can mean that you need to take extra care of selecting your mattress. This is because each mattress is built to perform differently. While a firm surface and springy mattress might be good for people who like that and tend to be energetic, it wouldn’t be a good idea for old people or people with ailments. In your mattress, you should look out for layers of materials and which layer functions well enough to support a certain area. The more you make yourself aware, the better it would be for your long-term health.

4. Aligning with your spine and neck: One of the most important functions of your mattress should be to provide relief for any existing ailments and not lead to any development either. A good quality mattress aligns your spine, back, and other areas like shoulders in a proper manner. That is, with the right mattress your spine should feel at ease in its natural slight ‘S’ curve. This is especially true if you see yourself waking up to pains in your lower back because of a mattress that is stiff and doesn’t contour your spine and allow it to relax.
Ensuring the health of your spine and shoulders is critical as one of the most important factors irrespective of age, lifestyle, or weight. You should always look out for the back and shoulder support as per your body type in the mattress that you choose. People with cervical pains should also pay extra attention to getting an orthopedic mattress and pillow as a bad choice can aggravate your condition.

5. Pressure on your body: While a good amount of pressure is critical in ensuring that your body rests and allows you to sleep in a calm state of mind. However, sometimes this pressure can be extra or unwanted in certain areas. While you may be paying attention to the feel and firmness of your mattress, your shoulders and back might not be. In other cases, even your knees, spine, and other areas can get that unwanted pressure that affects them in the long term.
When you go to sleep on a mattress that is perfect for you, it shouldn’t exert extra unwanted pressure on your relaxing muscles and bones. Pay extra attention to how firm or soft a mattress is, and how it feels like when you lie on it. The slightest bit of discomfort in some points can indicate it might become a pain point and lead to chronic pains later on.

Personal factors to consider when buying a new mattress:
Apart from the constituents of a mattress that makes it “best” for you, your body is the first to experience the same. Before researching for high quality bed mattresses, you should self-assess these factors as they have a major impact on how your body enjoys the experience:

1. Your preference for firmness or softness: Not everyone likes the same mattress despite similar body features. Sure, it is important to consider how a mattress ensures the overall long-term health of your body, but it is also important to check how well you like it. Apart from the bulk of the mattress which decides if a mattress is overall soft or firm, you should also pay attention to the surface. Often, your mattress may have a generally soft structure, but the upper two or more layers including the surface can be harder which nullifies the soft feel of the mattress overall. The comfort layers decide how well your body likes the softness or firmness of a mattress. A harder or softer mattress’s feel may not necessarily lie only in the comfort layer, and it is important that you look out for all the factors that make up the experience of sleeping on the mattress.

2. Your age: Your age is another factor that plays a huge role in the mattress that you should go for. That is, your age essentially dictates how well your body is able to relax on a variety of mattresses. For example, a child or young person may not notice much difference in sleeping on orthopedic soft mattresses or a latex mattress that feels comfortable. But, for an elder person, it may mean they have existing ailments and an orthopedic or extra soft mattress makes a world of difference.
Your age also decides if you like firm or soft mattresses and how easily you are able to get off the mattress. A soft mattress that sinks low like memory foam may not be perfect for old people as it makes it difficult to get out of bed. On the other hand, a semi-firm mattress is suitable for both older and younger people that are able to get out of it easily and energetically.

3. Weight: Weight is a sensitive factor that decides how well your body experiences and relaxes enough to fall asleep easily on the mattress. Your weight may change based on your lifestyle. But, in case of people with a long history of being overweight or underweight, the case is different. In case of being overweight, you have to decide a mattress that cushions your bones and muscles extra and at the same time support your body weight. Irrespective of whether you like a soft or firm mattress (which the comfort layers can help with), your mattress should be able to support your body weight and help with extra cushioning of potentially weak joints and muscles.

4. Body type and composition: Your body type (not just the BMI), your anatomical form of your body also means a lot when choosing a mattress. Your body type differs a lot and even sex is something that dictates your body type. Your body type is the natural construction, irrespective of weight and fat percentage, and is also something to consider when buying a mattress. You might be an ectomorph (thin build and fast metabolism), endomorph(larger waist size and slow metabolism, tend to gain weight easily), and finally a mesomorph(muscular build, but gain weight easier than ectomorph, mostly in terms of muscles and fat).
These factors are important because a mattress also determines how well you sleep and the hormonal balance and metabolism activity in the background. Going into deep high-quality sleep on a high-quality mattress ensures that your body performs optimally and maintains its build with the right balance of hormones. On the other hand, a mattress that doesn’t suit you will make it difficult to sleep, and as a result, lead to weight gain or loss depending upon your body type and composition. Your BMI indicates just as important of how well you would be able to sleep and relax on any given mattress. A larger BMI means that you would need a more supportive and larger mattress and a bit firmer yet soft enough to contour and let your muscles and bones relax.

5. Body aches and ailments: Issues within your body also indicate how well you can sleep on a mattress. In other words, people with chronic pains, existing issues, or serious medical conditions might need special mattresses. Orthopedic mattresses are perfect for people with existing conditions as despite a similar build, their material and construction are specially designed to help keep those pains at bay. These special mattresses help avoid aggravating the condition further and help in providing extra relief to the mattress. Chronic pains in knees, back, and shoulders need special attention and a generic mattress irrespective of the feel might not be the best solution. Orthopedic mattress help contour and support these weak points and you can look towards our Orthobond and PressureSense mattresses for the same.

FAQs on the Best Beds Available in India:

It depends, if your old mattress is unnaturally sunken or have aged over 5-7 years it might be time to change.
