A good night’s sleep is a must for being energetic the next day and for having a sound sleep.

Having a good mattress plays a very important role. There are a lot of varieties available in the market in terms of types of mattresses and on top of that there are a lot of brands who are in competition with one another.

Having said that it becomes a lot more difficult for the customer to choose one as soon as you enter the shop to buy the best mattress for yourself.

Imagine the scenario when you enter the shop, a salesman comes up and shows you the most expensive mattress, you try lying down on that mattress for few seconds in the showroom lights and under the eye of the salesmen, it becomes very difficult for you to decide the best mattress for yourself in that scenario. 

This article will tell you different kinds of mattresses available, best brands for mattresses, a buyer’s guide for the same as well as top 10 mattresses available for almost every budget.

Types of Mattresses:

Coir mattress:

These kinds of mattresses are only available in India, and they are the most organic and eco-friendly mattresses available. They are made up of coconut coir. They have a firm base and are economical. The average lifespan of these mattresses is shorter than compared to the other mattresses.

Memory Foam Mattress:

Memory foam is best known for the “sinking in” factor. When you lie on a memory foam mattress it takes the shape of your body weight and bounces back slowly to its original form once you remove your body weight. The memory foam comes with extra cushioning and support which makes it soft and comfortable. It is a good option for people having backache and side sleepers.

Innerspring/ Coil mattress:

Innerspring is very popular because of its affordability and the comfort it provides in that budget. The innerspring/ coil mattress as the name suggests consists of steel coils/ springs inside them, their shape, size, and number can vary but the major ingredient in them is the coil/ spring which compresses when you put body weight on them. Thus making them springy and bouncy.

Latex mattress:

Latex mattresses are similar to memory foam mattresses, instead they are made up of latex foam instead of memory foam. They are more bouncy than the memory foam and are best known for providing pressure relief and contouring. They are less dense than memory foam and thus are less heating.

Gel Mattress:

Memory foam mattresses trap heat since once we put the body weight on them, it reshapes itself to the body weight and limits the airflow since they have to be dense enough to be bouncy, thus making them trapping a lot of heat.

Gel mattresses were designed to overcome this problem. It works to offset the heating effects caused by memory foam and takes a lot more time to heat up as compared to the memory foam mattresses. 

Pillow top mattress:

It is ideal for people who do not prefer memory foam mattresses or gel mattresses and are side sleepers. Pillow top mattresses come with an additional layer of upholstery that is added to the top of the mattress. It gives the same “sinking in” feeling and provides good support to the back and indeed the entire body. They are mostly integrated with innerspring mattresses. 

Waterbed mattress:

The primary support system of these mattresses is water which is padded with an upholstery material like foam or fibers. It is an ideal choice for back sleepers. 

Airbed Mattress:

Just like waterbed mattresses, the primary support system in airbed mattresses is air which is integrated into an upholstery material like foam or fibers. It is an ideal choice for back sleepers. 

Adjustable base mattress:

They are one of the more flexible mattresses available. They are so flexible that you can adjust them to raise your head, to raise your leg, and so on.

Furthermore, they provide good back support as well. Adjustable base mattress are best for people having sleep-related problems like back pain, sleep apnea, etc.

Buyer’s Guide: How to choose the best mattress in India?

There are many aspects which one should look for in a mattress while buying one. Here’s a buyer’s guide that will help in making the right choice.

Size

There are different sizes available but in India, the following are the sizes that are usually available.

The single size mattress is perfect for the child, the double size mattress is perfect for 2 medium-sized adults, the queen size mattress is perfect for large-sized adults and the king size mattress is perfect for two large size adults and a child. 

The size will be determined by the number of people it is being bought for.

Thickness:

The thickness of the mattress is a very important factor. Usually, the thickness of the mattress should be 5-10 inches, for people with a heavy body weight the thickness should be more. And so the thickness of the mattress is directly proportional to the body weight of the person. 

Firmness:

The firmness of the mattress determines the conforming ability of the mattress. The firmness depends upon 2 factors:

• Bodyweight
• Usual sleeping position

People having body weight less than 60 kg should opt for softer mattresses whereas people having body weight greater than 60 kg should opt for a firm mattress. Side sleepers should prefer softer mattresses whereas people who tend to sleep on their back or stomach should prefer a firm mattress.

The support they provide:

The support the mattress provides plays a vital role in avoiding backaches since they provide the alignment of the pelvis and spine. Initially, the foam mattresses provide a lot of support but with years they degrade in terms of support whereas the spring mattresses provide support in their entire lifespan. Therefore, the softer the mattress, the less support they provide in the coming years.

Temperature Neutrality:

The foam mattresses are the hottest of all since they trap heat once we put the body weight on them, it reshapes itself to the body weight and limits the airflow.

Thus raising the temperature and reducing the airflow. There are mattresses available in the market that overcome this shortcoming and neutralize the temperature.

The temperature neutrality feature is a must in places that have higher temperatures.

These are the prominent factors that one should look for while buying a mattress.
