How to Choose the Best Mattress for Couples

How to Choose the Best Mattress for Couples
If you sleep with a partner, you may be wondering if it's possible to get a mattress which lets you both sleep in comfort. The answer is yes! Here we'll examine what you need to know about getting the right mattress for both parties.
No partner disturbance
One of the most important things in a mattress is to ensure there is little or no partner disturbance. In other words, when one moves, the other partner should not be able to feel it. If your mattress transmits movement greatly from your partner, you'll be in for a restless night as we move around sixty times in our sleep!
The type of mattress you have will play a big role in the amount of partner disturbance. For example, a waterbed transmits movement greatly, making it a poor choice if you sleep with a partner. On the other hand, latex is one of the most highly recommended types of mattresses for its lack of partner disturbance. Movement on one side of the bed is not felt easily from the other side when you and your partner sleep on a latex mattress. Furthermore, latex is known to be one of the most comfortable types of mattresses on the market! You'll both enjoy the wonderful comfort of a latex mattress.
Allow plenty of space
If there isn't enough space for both people to move without bumping into each other, you simply would not get a good night's sleep. One person's movements will awaken the other via physical contact. This is still true even if your mattress does not transmit movement easily.
Ideally, a couple should sleep on a king size mattress to ensure sufficient space. However, if the room dimensions would feel cramped with a king size, then a queen size mattress is the next best alternative.
Different firmness for each mattress side
Customized firmness levels of the mattress
What do you do if one partner wants a firmer mattress and the other person prefers a softer mattress? The good news is that this is one thing on which you don't have to compromise! With most mattress companies, you can only select one level of firmness. But here at Heveya® Singapore, you can pick two different levels of firmness in one mattress. A king size latex mattress can be made of two units of 90 x 200 cm blocks which are enclosed within a single king size mattress cover of 180 x 200 cm. This way each partner gets to sleep on a mattress of their preferred density, without compromising on their health and comfort. An alternative option for couples would be to use two separate single size mattresses of 90 x 200 cm each side by side. In this situation, each single mattress would be enclosed in its own cover.
At Heveya® Singapore, we are able to customize our mattresses to any sizes the customer requires.
Customized firmness levels of the bed base
Don't forget about the bed base when it comes to customizing your firmness level! Here at Heveya® Singapore, we offer adjustable sprung slatted bases. Each half of the base can be adjusted separately to conform to the needs of each person. Such a bed base which is adjustable separately on each side is ideal for couples. This bed base does more than simply allowing each person their customized fit. It also allows for temporary changes or changes over time. For example, suppose the wife is temporarily suffering from a back pain, but the husband feels well. The husband can keep his side of the bed as it is, but the wife's side of the bed base can be adjusted for a firmer level of firmness to keep her more comfortable. After she recovers, her side of the bed base can be set to its previous level of firmness to give her the correct level of back support.
Ensuring ultimate comfort for couples
The best mattress for couples is a latex mattress due to its lack of partner disturbance. It also has the bonus of being extremely comfortable. No matter which mattress you use or what company you buy it from, couples should ideally buy a king size mattress to allow sufficient space for restful sleep.
Many couples are pleasantly surprised to find out that they don't have to compromise on the firmness levels when they buy from Heveya®! Since the king size mattress can be made of two latex blocks side by side, each person can pick their own level of firmness. Heveya®’s adjustable slatted bed base also allows each person to customize the firmness level of their side of the bed base. This adds extra fine-tuning options for each individual.
If you sleep with a partner, you'll love our products and our showroom. We enjoy the privilege of helping couples find the perfect combination of mattress and base for them - without anyone needing to compromise!

A Top Quality Mattress Can Improve The Quality Of Your Life

Are you waking up tired or uncomfortable? Having difficulty getting through the day? Or are you sometimes stressed out? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then it sounds like your quality of life is not all that it could be. Getting enough sleep, and ensuring it's a comfortable sleep, is one of the best things you can do for yourself. If you can get a superb quality of sleep, you'll wake up feeling like you're on top of the world. You'll be able to handle things in your everyday life again and create a barrier of well-being against stress. Being happier and less stressed will also benefit your interpersonal relationships: you'll be able to cultivate harmonious interactions without it seeming like any effort to you. So, investing in a top quality mattress can truly improve the quality of your life. How to identify a top quality mattress and how this impacts your wellbeing You may be wondering: What are the hallmarks of a top quality mattress? Firstly, comfort is the key here. You won't sleep well on your old or sagging mattress, no matter how fancy it may have been when you first purchased it. A top quality new mattress will deliver proper support for the spine, while still feeling soft and relaxing to your body. The perfect balance of firmness and comfort is what you need to look for. Latex mattresses are the type recommended by many osteopaths and chiropractors for the ability to provide restful ease and relieve certain types of back or joint pain. Imagine how good it would feel to sleep on such a comfortable environment each and every night. Another hallmark of a top quality mattress is its durability. There are plenty of mattresses which might feel great at first touch - but sleep on them for a few weeks or months and they will quickly sag. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it is a waste of your money. Did you know that latex mattresses are actually one of the most durable types of mattress? Their natural springiness means there are no metal spring coils to wear down: the comfortable elasticity is a property intrinsic to the latex foam itself. You certainly won't have to worry about replacing a latex mattress too soon. A top quality mattress will come from a store which allows you to have an in-home trial. Although you can test out a mattress in a showroom, the only way you'll know how it feels is to actually sleep on it. You should shop at a bedding store which allows you to try out the mattress in your home for a period of time (usually up to 30 days). You can relax in the knowledge that if this mattress doesn't feel good, the store will switch it out for a different level of firmness, ensuring you end up with the most comfortable mattress for you. Not only is an in-home trial practical for you, but it also informs you that the company sells top quality mattresses. Why? Because the shop is confident that it can provide you with a comfortable mattress. Heveya® Singapore is happy to offer an in-home trial to customers. In contrast, a bedding shop which sells poor quality mattresses would not dare to offer an in-home trial, because they know that there would be too many customers who simply could never find a comfortable fit for them. Yet another hallmark of a high quality mattress is its international certificates. International certification means that the mattress has passed certain tests or was manufactured in a specific way. Any mattress may have zero, one, or more certificates. A top quality mattress should have at least one, and preferably more, certificates. Certification is a stringent process which tells you the mattress conforms to top international standards. Such certificates are not awarded easily, and these are an independent measure of quality in a mattress. To name just one example, the LGA certificate tells you that this latex mattress complies with stringent standards of durability and elasticity. When you sleep on a top quality mattress made to certain specifications, you can rest assured that the product will serve you well - now and for many years to come. Why is quality of life so important these days? Quality of life is extremely important in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Investing in your quality of life can pay dividends in your ability to handle all that life throws at you. By improving your sleep, a top quality mattress can truly enhance your life and make you feel great - every day. Odds are your old mattress simply isn't allowing you to be well rested enough. A really outstanding mattress, such as a latex mattress, provides the ultimate in gentle comfort for a great night's sleep. This will allow you to feel so much better, both physically and mentally. You'll feel more upbeat, happier and perform even better at your job. Secondly, proper spinal alignment will help relieve back and joint pain. A latex mattress is considered the best type for relieving such pain, and this can go a long way to promoting more sleep and better sleep. Even if you don't suffer from pain, you can (and should) still reap the rewards of a bed which promotes proper spinal alignment. Your body will feel wonderful when you wake up. Thirdly, a more durable mattress allows you to enjoy it for longer: it's as simple as that. You can reap all the rewards of an excellent mattress for a much longer period of time when it's highly durable. Also, you will save money with a long-lasting mattress, because you won't have to replace it soon. Quality of life is more important than ever in Singapore and globally in the 21st century. This is because wellbeing is your best natural defence against the stress of a fast-paced life which is so much the case these days. Conclusion Your night time sleep and comfort has an incredible impact on your daytime wellbeing. You are going to be sleeping on a mattress at night anyway, so you might as well make that time count toward your quality of life when you invest in a top quality mattress. The excitement of a busy career or an abundance of interpersonal community relationships is a good thing. But at the end of a long day, you deserve to retreat and regenerate with a comfortable restful sleep on a top quality mattress.

How to Choose The Right Mattress Firmness

If you are considering a new mattress, you may be wondering which firmness is best for you. This will actually depend on a number of different factors. Here you will find the information you need to help you choose the right mattress firmness. An individualized decision The ultimate goals of finding the correct level of mattress firmness are comfort and proper alignment of the spine. As long as both of these goals are met, there is no one-size-fits-all answer for the level of mattress firmness. A. Comfort Assessing the comfort of a mattress is straightforward, and simply depends on how you feel when you lie down. When looking at mattresses in a showroom, it's important to spend enough time trying them out. Lie down for at least 10 to 15 minutes each time. In addition to the mattresses you are already interested in, try out some that might be softer or firmer than you may initially be drawn to. This is for the sake of making informed comparisons. You may also be surprised to find out that your natural comfort level demands a softer or firmer mattress than you had anticipated. This happens a lot, since there is no industry-wide standard for what constitutes a 'firm' mattress versus a 'medium-firm', for example. Also, over the years since your last mattress, your body's needs may have changed. This is perfectly normal, and the goal as always is to ensure you receive the best possible comfort. B. Body alignment Proper body alignment is more difficult to assess, but is still of large importance when selecting the level of firmness. A good mattress with the correct level of firmness should support the natural alignment of the spine, with the shoulders, hips, heels and head supported. In contrast, a mattress which is too firm will create painful pressure points and it will feel like you are sleeping 'on top' of the surface instead of being cushioned by it. On the other hand, a too-soft mattress will not sufficiently support you, so your body will sag into the mattress. Both of these scenarios result in misalignment of the body and spine, and will cause undesirable aches and pains upon rising in the morning. The correct level of firmness depends not just on the mattress but on your body too. In general, a smaller person would need a softer mattress whereas a larger heavier person would need a firmer mattress to give the same correct level of support. How can you tell in a showroom whether your spine is in alignment? Bring a friend along when shopping. When you lie down on a mattress, ask your friend to observe whether your spine is lined up normally. It's best to do this in a side-lying position. On a mattress with the correct level of firmness, your spine will be naturally straight - but the surface of the mattress will curve. General advice when buying a mattress Do not feel obligated to go with a specific brand. Since it's typically many years between mattress purchases for you, the manufacturing may have changed dramatically within a brand over that period of time. If you really cannot decide between two levels of firmness, one solution may be to pick the firmer mattress. The reason behind this is that if it is too firm, you can always make it softer by adding a topper layer. By contrast, there is no way to make a softer mattress firmer. You should always take advantage of an in-home trial, if offered by your mattress store, as this will avoid the dilemmas in the previous point. Most reputable mattress shops have a policy like this. Details differ between different shops, but the general idea is that you can try out the mattress in your own home for a set period of time (usually 30 days). If you are not satisfied with the comfort level then the bedding shop will switch it out for a softer or firmer one. Consider a mattress with zoned back support For the ultimate spinal alignment and comfort, consider a mattress which offers zoned back support. This means that within the mattress there are different zones of softness and firmness, corresponding to different areas of the body. For example, the hip area will be firmer than the shoulder area, to allow the shoulders to sink into the mattress yet give you good support in the hips and lower back. The lower leg area will be softer, since you do not have much weight or pressure points in those areas. These zoned mattresses are less common and are harder to find when shopping, but are very much worth looking for. The more zones of back support, the better your spine will be aligned. Heveya® sells a 7-zone back support latex mattress. Conclusion Identifying the right level of mattress firmness is a very individualized decision. A mattress which is just right for you may quite easily be too soft or too firm for someone else. So finding the right level of firmness for you is something which can only be done by testing out the mattress. Most reputable mattress shops have a showroom, so make sure you visit to try out mattresses before buying. The correct level of firmness is one that promotes proper spinal alignment in your body, while also feeling very pleasant and comfortable. If you are able to find and try out a mattress with zoned back support, this may be the ideal solution.
