Customised Comfort

Customised Comfort
Is it important to buy the mattress, bed base and pillow together? Yes, it is!
Mattress, bed base, and pillow have to match each other. The combination of the 3 elements determines your comfort.
At Heveya® Singapore, we offer you a complete sleeping system tailored to your personal needs. As people spend at least one third of their lives in bed, a comfortable and healthy sleeping system is important.
Latex mattress with adjustable slatted bed base offer customised comfort
Mattress
Would you like a different mattress firmness level from your partner? No worries, we can offer you a King size mattress with two different firmness levels.
Besides that some of our latex mattresses are made with 7 comfort zones with firmer zones for the head, waist and legs and softer zones for the hips and shoulders to allow them to sink deeper into the mattress without losing support. This way, the spine's curve is kept in its natural alignment, allowing your body to be fully rested throughout the night.
Ergonomic adjustable slatted bed base
Not only can our mattresses have personalised firmness levels for each partner, our bed base can also be adapted to each person’s desired comfort level.
Indeed, our ergonomic adjustable slatted bed bases are equipped with flexible beech wooden slats which can be made softer or firmer just by moving the sliders in or out.
A study by the Ergonomie Institut München supervised by Dr. Heidinger, Dr Jaspert & Dr. Hocke GmbH, aimed at studying the biomechanical properties of mattress and bed base, concluded that the combination of a latex mattress with an ergonomic adjustable slatted bed base outperformed any other combination, for example,spring mattress with box spring, in terms of spine support and shoulder support.
Pillow
The correct pillow choice will complete your total comfort experience. Your pillow should support you in such a way that when you lie down on the bed, your head and neck should be in the same position as they would be when you are standing upright.
At Heveya®, we offer two different shapes of latex pillows: traditional and contoured. Traditional shaped pillows are generally softer than contoured ones. Therefore, for people with face down sleeping habits and softer mattresses, traditional shaped pillows may be more suitable. On the other hand, a contoured shaped pillow is especially suitable for side sleepers and people who prefer a firmer mattress.

What Is The Most Customisable Sleep System Possible

The sleep configuration we come home to matters - and it isn’t just the most comfortable mattress that counts. In order to achieve the most comfortable, supportive, and tailored sleep system for you, purchasing a mattress, bed base, and pillows that compliment each other is crucial. The combination of these 3 elements will determine the quality of your snooze. What’s more, the perfect sleep system for you may not be the perfect sleep system for another - vice versa. This should come at no surprise, given how varied each person is given height, weight, age, and factoring in any medical conditions we may have. This begs the next question: is it really possible to customise every aspect of bedding to suit my specific needs? Yes! Quality sleep that will last you for several years to come is worth investing in. Here at Heveya®, we offer clients a customised mattress, customised bed frame, and beyond -  tailored to your specific demographics. Let's find out the variables that will go into making the most comfortable mattress.   1. Bed base   Let’s start by laying out the foundations: in other words, a slatted bed base. A customised bed frame will be constructed of flexible springy slats; which helps your body contour even more into your mattress, as well as aiding in air circulation and breathability between slats into your mattress. Furthermore, as mentioned before, no two persons are alike - and even our body goes through changes. Thus, the bed base should be able to adjust its level of firmness according to your body at the time. For example, if one were to gain weight in the next few years - or to go through pregnancy, they would require more support for their midsection. This would translate to tightening the lumbar zone slats for more firmness, in order to offer a more appropriate support to achieve healthy spinal alignment. Temporary changes work equally well. Suppose you are unwell and your body is feeling achy: you can offer a little relief by setting the lumbar zone slats to a more springy level. After you recover, you can simply set the slats back again to how they were before.   If you are already happy with the look of your existing bed frame but you want the added springiness of slats, you can get that too! The Heveya® Ergonomic Slatted Bed Base is specifically designed to be used either self-supporting on its own or as a drop-in to an existing bed frame.   And if you sleep with a partner, you'll each want to set your own lumbar region slats differently. Again, no problem: this is easily possible with the Heveya® Queen and King sized bed base. Each half of the bed base would have its very own set of adjustable slats so that co-sleepers can adjust their own sides according to individual preference.   Even more, a quality bed base should offer the option of being motorised. An adjustable motorised bed allows you to raise your upper and lower body all with a remote control, offering you utmost convenience and relaxation. The system is ergonomically designed to work in synergy with your customised mattress (preferably natural organic latex) to provide a truly comfortable sleeping system.   2. Custom mattress size   Your mattress size should also be customisable, yet sadly, so few manufacturers allow this. At Heveya®, a custom latex mattress can be made to any dimensions you wish! Why is it important to be able to customise your mattress size? If one happens to have a previous custom size bed frame, then you will have to purchase a custom mattress to fit - so there is no need to buy a whole new bed set when you can simply custom make a mattress to match. This proved to be the case for many expatriates that move internationally with their own bed frame.   Another reason one may opt to customise is to fit a tall stature - thus the necessity to get a custom longer length mattress so that one can sleep comfortably and securely. The key here is this: if you do not have ample 'free space', you will not have a good quality of sleep. A customised mattress size can go a long way to improving your night-time sleep and therefore your daytime well-being. 3. Firmness levels which can be customised beyond the standard The most comfortable mattress should come in two to three different levels of firmness (e.g. soft, medium, and firm). However, a truly customisable sleep system should offer additional ways of customising firmness level above and beyond that. If you co-sleep, you may have very different ideas of how soft or firm the mattress should be compared to fellow co-sleeper. This individual preference is very important and goes beyond short-term comfort: the wrong level of firmness for your body height and weight can actually lead to improper spinal alignment. This will undoubtedly cause poor sleep quality for years to come, and aches and pains upon waking. Remember, each co-sleeper is their own individual with their own preferences, and shouldn't have to compromise to ensure each gets their own level of firmness on each side of the mattress. At Heveya®, split-density mattresses are a complimentary option for co-sleepers that require different firmness levels. For example: if our king sized mattress would be purchased with a request for half medium, half firm; it would consist of two separate and single mattress cores enclosed in one king sized mattress cover. 4. Multiple-layer latex mattresses In addition to single-layer latex mattresses, there are also some latex manufacturers who make mattresses with two layers or more. At Heveya®, we have three variations: single-layer, double-layer, and triple-layer. A double-layer mattress offers a firm base layer for support coupled with a softer, less dense upper layer for comfort and pressure relief. A third soft layer can be added for that hotel-like, comfortable mattress. The density of each layer comes in a choice of three specially-calibrated configurations (a combination of soft, medium, and firm). The subtlety added by each extra layer is a great option that is worth experiencing for yourself. This can be especially true if you feel you fit somewhere between firmness levels: for example, a Soft Heveya® double-layer mattress is too soft, yet a Medium Heveya® two-layer mattress is too firm - thus, the comfiest bed solution for you may be the Medium Heveya® triple-layer mattress (a medium firmness mattress + an added soft layer). 5. Pillows For the finishing touches - the right pillow choice for you will complete your total supportive and comfortable experience. A pillow suited to your height and weight should support you in such a way that when you lie down on the bed, your spine from head to toe is as close to a straight line as possible. Furthermore, the pillow should be tailored to your preferred sleeping style. For example, if you have broad shoulders and are a side sleeper - it's best to look for a pillow that is high enough to fill in the space from the height created from sleeping on your side; at the same time. Another example is if you happen to be petite, it’s best to look for a pillow with a soft firmness level; as if you were to opt for too firm of a pillow, you would not have enough weight to contour naturally - this translated to an elevated head, neck, and shoulders (not straight line spinal alignment). At Heveya®, we offer six types of natural organic latex pillows - specifically tailored to various sleeping styles and densities. It is clear that the most customisable sleep system possible is a natural organic latex bedding system, offering many types of combinations above and beyond those available at mainstream mattress stores. You can find all the options we talked about at the Heveya® showroom. At Heveya®, you can select an adjustable slatted customised bed frame and adjust its slats just for you. You can pick your own customised mattress size of any dimension. And the options for the levels of mattress firmness go beyond the ordinary pre-set levels -  which entails the option for a dual-density mattress catered to co-sleepers with different preferences. What’s more, one has the ability to decide between a single-layer, double-layer, or triple-layer mattress. Coupled with the finishing touches of a pillow catered to your preferred sleeping style, height, and weight. Our in-house sleep experts offer all clients to this bespoke level of customisation and service here at Heveya®. Imagine how good it would feel to sleep on a sleep system configured exactly for your body. If you could put together your own bed from the ground up, which combination would you choose to achieve the most comfortable mattress?
Best Mattress for Side Sleepers

Best Mattress for Side Sleepers

Do you sleep on your side? If so, then your mattress needs to fulfil certain considerations to ensure you get the best night's sleep. Unfortunately, it's all too easy for side sleepers to wind up with shoulder pain or hip pain if their mattress isn't well suited to this sleeping position - and most mattresses aren't. Let's take a look at some of the unique problems with a side sleeping position, and what you need in a mattress if you're a side sleeper. What happens to your body position when sleeping on your side? Firstly, remember that it's almost impossible to maintain a perfectly symmetrical side sleeping position. When you lie on your side, your top leg will 'fall in' toward the mattress to rest on it, twisting your hips. When that happens, it's natural for your top arm and shoulder also to fall toward the mattress, as there would be no other source of support for it. The lower arm may either be tucked under the body or extended upward near the pillow. It is important to note that while you may think of a side sleeping position as a symmetrical 'leg-on-leg' position, in reality it's not that way. Instead it should be imagined more as an inward-turned position, where the sleeper is turning in toward the surface of the mattress. What are some of the problems with a side sleeping position? A side sleeper puts a lot of pressure on his or her shoulder and hip closest to the mattress, which can cause discomfort. Adding to that problem is the twisting of the hips and shoulders described above, which prevents the body from forming a natural alignment. If side sleeping is so bad, should I consider switching sleeping positions? There are many sleeping positions. It certainly doesn't hurt to try other positions, but odds are if you're a side sleeper then that is the position that feels most natural to you. In that case, you may not benefit by switching to another sleep position: it won't feel natural and therefore it may be harder to get to sleep and stay asleep in the new position. Each sleep position has its own set of pros and cons - there is no 'perfect' sleep position. Instead you may therefore wish to concentrate on transforming your side sleeping position into the most comfortable sleep experience possible. Some people have to sleep on their side Besides those who prefer to sleep on their side, you may be among the individuals who need to sleep on their side due to a medical condition. For example, pregnant women beyond the first trimester should avoid sleeping on their stomach or their back - leaving only the side sleeping positions available to them. Another example is that those who suffer from heartburn are recommended to sleep on their left side. And those who snore tend to get relief from sleeping on their side. Whether or not you have much choice about sleeping on your side, the good news is that there is a lot you can do to ensure your mattress delivers the high quality of sleep you are seeking. Softness vs firmness There is no hard and fast rule about the level of firmness you need, as it will vary from one side sleeper to another. But as a general rule, most side sleepers will need a mattress which is no firmer than a medium-firm. The reason for this is that side sleepers have a lot of contact with hips and shoulders, and on a firm mattress are more likely to wind up with back and shoulder pain due to these pressure points. In contrast, a softer mattress is more supportive for a side sleeper because it allows the shoulders and hips to sink into it, while the side of the body is supported by the mattress. This results in more contact between the side of the body and the bed, without placing uncomfortable pressure on the hips and shoulders. Mattress material Side sleepers need a mattress with unique properties of yielding to the touch, yet still being firm and supportive. This allows shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress while maintaining proper spinal alignment. Overall, the best choice you could make is a latex mattress, because it is a solid block of luxurious foam which allows a 'sinking in' while still offering good support for the spine. A second choice would be memory foam, but the main problem is that memory foam tends to 'sleep hot' - and you certainly don't want that in the warm Singapore climate. The worst choice for a side sleeper is a spring coil mattress, because you end up sleeping 'on top' of the mattress, creating hard hip and shoulder pressure points and preventing proper spinal alignment. In contrast, latex will allow the hips and shoulders to sink in softly, so there will be no uncomfortable pressure points. Other tips for side sleepers Neck support is important. A good pillow for a side sleeper should be firm enough to give good support to the head and not let it sink down too much. A dense and supportive pillow is best, and it also needs to be thick enough that the head remains level with the spine. A latex pillow is an ideal choice to fulfil these requirements. Additionally, you'll love the extra comfort you'll get with a latex pillow. This is not the most common type of pillow that people get, but it does offer the best for relaxation. Use a bolster or body pillow. It is a good idea to minimize the amount of twisting that the hips are doing. Hugging a body pillow or bolster helps to support your body and maintain a proper spinal alignment. If you don't have a bolster, positioning a pillow between your knees also can help your top leg to rest on your bottom leg. This can avoid, or at least drastically decrease, the amount of hip twisting going on, allowing you to sleep in a more comfortable position.

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. 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!
