Queen Mattress

Bigger than a double and smaller than a king, queen size mattresses are a favourite choice in many New Zealand master bedrooms. When shopping for a queen mattress, considering the type of material used is crucial. With so many options like latex, memory foam, innerspring, or hybrid, choosing might seem challenging. Peace Lily simplifies this - offering a simple and natural range of mattresses tailored to the unique sleep needs of New Zealanders.

Selecting the Ideal Queen Mattress

The user's body type is the foremost criterion when selecting a queen mattress. A too firm or too soft mattress can induce back pain by disturbing spinal alignment. Those with back issues should consider a firmer mattress. The required firmness varies according to individual body weight. Adequate spinal support is crucial to prevent back pain. Support refers to the mattress's resistance to indentation, stability, and cushioning. For back or side sleepers, firm support with a sufficiently soft surface is needed for spinal alignment.

At Peace Lily, we acknowledge that deciding among various queen mattress firmness levels can be difficult. Thus, we focus on providing two primary mattress types: a hybrid option catering to most people's needs at an affordable price, and a versatile option providing both medium and firm comfort, allowing you to flip the mattress and choose your preferred firmness. From our experience, these options meet approximately 80% of our New Zealand customers' needs and preferences.

Popular Mattress Types in New Zealand

The core of a mattress is the key component, with four main types of mattresses available in New Zealand: foam, latex, pocket springs, and memory foam. There isn't a universally superior technology in terms of comfort; each type offers unique features and benefits. However, comfort level often depends on mattress firmness and personal preference.

How do these mattresses differ? The difference lies in the support provided during sleep and the mattress's breathability. Overheating during sleep, often caused by sheets and mattress type, is a common issue. Foam or pocket spring mattresses may struggle with breathability and moisture evacuation, thereby reducing their lifespan compared to natural latex mattresses.

The mattress type can significantly impact dust mites and bacteria. Even though the top layer is important and many mattresses claim to be antibacterial, the core is critical. At present, only natural latex offers comprehensive protection against bacteria and dust mites. If you want to avoid nighttime allergy issues, considering a latex queen mattress is essential.

Overview of Queen Mattress Types

• Latex mattresses - These mattresses use natural or synthetic latex foam, offering excellent support and durability. Natural latex mattresses provide unique breathability and air circulation, preventing bacteria and moisture buildup while offering comfort and relief for pressure points. A common downside is that they can be expensive and hard to find.
• Memory foam mattresses - These mattresses are made with foam that conforms to the body's shape, providing excellent support and pressure relief. They excel in motion isolation and provide pressure point relief and back pain alleviation. Downsides include potential heat retention, off-gassing, and difficulty moving on the mattress.
• Innerspring mattresses - These traditional mattresses use metal coils for support. Advantages include affordability, while downsides can 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. Prioritizing natural, breathable mattresses can extend their lifespan.

Standard Dimensions of a Queen-Size Mattress in New Zealand

In New Zealand, a Queen mattress typically measures 153cm x 203cm, making it a great choice for couples who want more space than a Double mattress but don't quite have room for a King.

To compare it with other mattress sizes, refer to our mattress size guide. Note that the bed base size may be slightly larger to accommodate the mattress. Even though the standard queen bed mattress size is 153cm x 203cm, some may measure 204cm in length. Moreover, queen-size mattress depth can vary up to 30cm.

Always double-check the dimensions before purchasing, especially if you're unsure of the size you need. Don't hesitate to reach out to our team for assistance in choosing the right size mattress, or check out this guide on how to measure your mattress properly.

Queen Mattress Toppers: The Affordable Way to Upgrade Your Current Mattress

If a brand-new mattress isn't in the cards right now, a Queen mattress topper can be an affordable upgrade. Toppers sit on your existing mattress, adding comfort, support, and pressure relief. Plus, they can extend the life of your mattress by reducing wear and tear.

Adding a topper can also improve a too firm or too soft mattress. Choose a topper with the right firmness or softness to fit your preferences and sleep needs. Some toppers offer features such as cooling technology or hypoallergenic materials, making them a practical choice for hot sleepers or allergy sufferers.

A Queen mattress topper is a cost-effective way to improve sleep quality without replacing the entire mattress. That's why at Peace Lily, our queen mattress toppers are carefully designed for enhanced comfort and durability, providing extra cushioning and support to relieve pressure points and promote better sleep.

Benefits of a Mattress in a Box

Mattresses in a box have become increasingly popular, offering a convenient and affordable solution for those in need of a new queen or king-size mattress. Our mattress-in-a-box range delivers high-quality, comfortable mattresses right to your doorstep in a compact box. This reduces the carbon footprint of shipping and eases transportation and maneuvering around your home.

Our mattress-in-a-box range uses the same high-quality natural materials as our traditional mattresses, including natural latex and organic cotton. They are also handcrafted for optimal comfort and support.

Advantages of our mattress-in-a-box range include:

• Convenience: We deliver our mattresses straight to your doorstep, and they are easy to unpack and set up.

Note that once you receive your mattress, it should be unboxed and set up within two weeks. The mattress has been compressed and rolled for shipping, and leaving it compressed for too long can affect its quality and durability.
