Choosing the perfect mattress can be tricky—follow this guide!
Choosing a good mattress can sometimes feel like a headache. Did you know that we spend more than a third of our lives on our mattresses? That’s why it’s important to have the right advice to choose the one that best meets our needs. Here are the five golden rules for choosing the best mattress:
HOW TO NAVIGATE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATTRESSES
There are various types of mattresses available on the bedding market. It can sometimes be difficult to navigate the options and understand everything you need to know to choose the mattress that best suits your needs. Here is a brief overview of the main products available on the market:
- Foam mattresses (polyurethane or memory foam)—these foams are petroleum-based materials.
- A synthetic latex mattress is made from a material produced through a process that combines various synthetic materials, known as styrene-butadiene.
- The natural latex mattress: Natural latex comes from the sap of a tree called the rubber tree, the Kipli natural latex mattress, , for example, contains only natural materials.
- A pocket-spring mattress can also be combined with another material, such as natural latex, in which case it becomes a hybrid mattress.
WHAT KIND OF COMFORT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
At Kipli, we offer three levels of comfort:
If you prefer a soft or medium-firm feel, our natural latex mattress with its two comfort sides is perfect for you.
If you're looking for a firm feel, then our hybrid mattress is perfect for you—it’s made of natural latex and pocket springs.
If you're looking for a very firm feel, then our futons made of cotton or wool will ensure a restful night’s sleep; they’re wrapped in French linen.
CHOOSE A SEPARATE BED
This topic may seem trivial, but some people are woken up at night by their partner's movements. If this is the case for you, then you should choose a mattress that offers good sleep independence.
The pocket-spring mattress offers excellent sleep independence, allowing you to enjoy a good night’s sleep without being woken up by your partner. The natural latex mattress will also help you avoid those brief, frequent awakenings.
To improve your sleeping independence, you should opt for a wide mattress, such as one that’s 180 centimeters long. But if this isn’t important to you, then any type of mattress will work for you.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATTRESS SIZE
To choose the right mattress size for your needs, there are several factors to consider. The standard size for a mattress is 160x200 centimeters; it is also the best-selling size in France.
Choose a size that suits your needs, but also the room you're in. A 180x200 mattress offers some degree of sleeping independence, but it can be too large for a small bedroom, for example.
If you're looking for a bed for one person, the standard size is 90x190 cm. Be sure to choose a mattress that’s the same size as your box spring.
CHOOSING A SUSTAINABLE MATTRESS
Buying a mattress is an investment—not only for your wallet, but also for the planet. Choosing a sustainable material, such as a mattress made with natural latex, means choosing sustainability.
Your mattress should last you a long time—for example, Kipli mattresses have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
Mattresses made with low-quality materials may tend to sag after 5 to 6 years, so you’ll have to make this significant purchase again.
We therefore recommend that you invest in a mattress made with durable materials to get the best value for your money. You now have everything you need to choose the best mattress!
