Choosing the Ideal Single Mattress

When choosing a single mattress, the user's body type is the primary 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, seek firm support with a sufficiently soft surface to maintain spinal alignment.

At Peace Lily, we understand that navigating the various types of single mattress firmness can be challenging. That's why we focus on offering two main types of mattresses: a hybrid option catering to most people's needs at an affordable price, and a versatile option providing both medium and firm comfort. This allows you to flip the mattress and choose your preferred firmness level. From our experience, these options meet approximately 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 key component, 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 superior in terms of comfort; each type offers unique features and benefits. However, comfort level often depends on mattress firmness and personal preference.

Where 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 the most critical aspect. Currently, only natural latex offers comprehensive protection against bacteria and dust mites. If you want to avoid allergy problems during the night, considering a latex single mattress is essential.

Overview of Single 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 Single-Size Mattress in New Zealand

In New Zealand, a Single mattress typically measures 92cm x 188cm, making it a great choice for individuals who need more space than a Twin mattress.

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. The standard single bed mattress size is 92cm x 188cm. However, some may measure longer. Moreover, single-size mattress depth can vary.

Always double-check the dimensions before purchasing, especially if you're unsure about the size. Check out this guide on how to measure your mattress properly. Alternatively, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance. We are always ready to help you choose the right size mattress.

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

If you're not ready for a brand-new mattress, a Single mattress topper can be an affordable way to upgrade your current bed. Toppers sit on your existing mattress and can provide added comfort, support, and pressure relief, and they can extend your mattress's life by reducing wear and tear.

A topper can also improve a mattress that is too firm or too soft. Choose a topper with the right level of firmness or softness to match your preferences and sleep needs. Some toppers offer features like cooling technology or hypoallergenic materials, making them a practical choice for hot sleepers or allergy sufferers.

Investing in a Single mattress topper is a practical and cost-effective way to improve your sleep quality without replacing your entire mattress. That's why at Peace Lily, our single mattress toppers are meticulously crafted for enhanced comfort and durability, providing extra cushioning and support to alleviate pressure points and promote better sleep.

The Benefits of a Mattress in a Box

Mattresses in a box have become increasingly popular, offering an affordable and convenient solution for those in need of a new mattress. Our mattress-in-a-box range offers high-quality, comfortable mattresses that can be conveniently delivered straight to your doorstep in a compact box. Not only does this reduce the carbon impact of shipping, but it also makes it easier for you to move and handle the mattress at home.

Our mattress-in-a-box range is made with the same high-quality natural materials as our traditional mattresses, including natural latex and organic cotton. They are also carefully crafted to ensure optimal comfort and support.

The benefits of our mattress-in-a-box range include:

• Convenience: Our mattresses can be delivered straight to your doorstep and are easy to set up.
• Cost-effective: Our mattress-in-a-box range is more affordable compared to traditional mattresses, without sacrificing quality or comfort.
• Space-saving: Our mattresses are delivered straight to your doorstep, compressed, and rolled into a compact box, making it easier for you to store and move them around your home.

It's important to note that once you receive your mattress, it should be unboxed and set up within two weeks. This is because the mattress has been compressed and rolled for shipping, and leaving it in its compressed state for an extended period could affect its quality and durability.
