How to Choose the Perfect Double Mattress

When choosing a double mattress, the user's body type is the first and most important criteria to consider. A mattress that is too firm or too soft can cause back pain by compromising spinal alignment. Those with back problems should opt for a firmer support. The firmness required in a mattress varies according to the individual's body weight. Proper spinal support is essential to avoid back pain. Support refers to the mattress's sagging, resistance to indentation, stability, and cushioning. If you sleep on your back or side, look for firm support with a sufficiently soft surface to maintain spinal alignment.

At Peace Lily, we understand that navigating through the various types of double mattress firmness can be challenging. That's why we have focused on offering two main types of mattresses: a hybrid option that caters to the needs of most people at an affordable price, and a versatile option that provides both medium and firm comfort, allowing you to flip the mattress and choose your preferred firmness level. Based on our experience, these options cover around 80% of the needs and preferences of our New Zealand customers.

The Most Common Types of Mattresses in New Zealand

The core of a mattress is the main element, and there are four main types of mattresses available in New Zealand: foam, latex, pocket springs, and memory foam. There isn't a specific technology that's superior in terms of comfort; each type has its own unique features and benefits. However, it's important to note that the comfort level of a mattress is often determined by its firmness and personal feeling.

Where do these mattresses differ? The difference lies in the support provided to the back during sleep and especially in how well the mattress breathes. Many people suffer from overheating during the night, and this is often caused by the sheets and the mattress type. Foam or pocket spring mattresses can struggle to breathe and evacuate moisture, which is why their lifespan is often shorter than that of natural latex mattresses.

The type of mattress you choose can have a critical impact on dust mites and bacteria. While the top layer of the mattress is important, and many mattresses are advertised as being antibacterial, the most crucial aspect is the core of the mattress. Currently, only natural latex provides comprehensive protection against bacteria and dust mites. If you want to avoid allergy problems during the night, it's essential to consider a latex double mattress as your primary option.

Overview of the Type of Double Mattress

• Latex mattresses - These mattresses are made with natural or synthetic latex foam, providing excellent support and durability. Natural latex mattresses provide unique breathability and air circulation, preventing the accumulation of bacteria and moisture, while also offering comfort and pressure point relief. However, their disadvantage is that they are often expensive and difficult to procure.
• Memory foam mattresses - These mattresses are made with foam that contours to the body's shape, providing excellent support and pressure relief. Advantages include excellent motion isolation, good support for pressure points, and pain relief for people with back pain. Disadvantages include potential heat retention, off-gassing, and difficulty moving on the mattress.
• Innerspring mattresses - These are the most traditional type of mattresses, with metal coils providing support. Advantages of affordability. Disadvantages include potential noise, lack of motion isolation, and discomfort for people with back pain.

There are other types of mattresses and various subcategories for each of them. However, it's important to prioritize natural mattresses that breathe to ensure a longer lifespan.
