One and a half mattresses

Without mattresses, even the most beautiful beds are like ice cream without cream: something is missing, this is where you will find the right one-and-a-half mattress for a heavenly sleep.

1. What types of mattresses are there?

Mattresses can be broadly divided into two categories: innerspring mattresses, in which small steel springs provide elasticity, and foam and latex mattresses. In the latter case, the mattress core is made of synthetic foam. The cold foam mattress is especially famous. Junior models are a hygienic latex mattress, a gel mattress and a viscoelastic mattress with memory foam. This foam remembers the shape of your body and seems to cuddle up to you when you lie down in the evening.

2. Which mattresses are good for your back?

For a comfortable posture for the back during sleep, it is important to divide it into lying areas. Mattresses with five or seven lying zones flex exactly where your body sinks deeper. If you sleep on your side, these are your shoulders and hips. Your spine can then lie straight and therefore relaxed. Foam mattresses generally perform better than spring mattresses.

3. What else should you pay attention to when buying one-and-a-half mattresses?

In addition to where to lie, the degree of firmness plays an important role in sleep comfort. Do you like to lie on a soft mattress or do you prefer it to be firm? By the way, you should decide on this from the very beginning, because mattresses do not become significantly softer over time. They can only form depressions in highly stressed areas.

If you tend to sweat at night, you should look for high breathability. Latex mattresses, which are particularly hygienic due to their closed cell properties, are a good choice for allergy sufferers. Last but not least, the dimensions should match the size of your single or double bed. Our mattress consultant can help you make your decision and find the perfect mattress for your needs.

4. Why are additional mattress pads recommended?

Mattress toppers, also known as toppers, are additional thin mattress pads that increase sleeping space and protect the mattress underneath. They usually have a removable cover that can be washed regularly in the washing machine. This means your bed always smells wonderfully fresh. If the mattress is too hard for your taste, you can compensate for this with soft filling, and vice versa.

5. What should you consider when buying a one-and-a-half-length children's mattress?

Mattresses for cribs and cribs are usually made of foam rubber. Removable covers that are machine washable are important for hygiene while sleeping. When it comes to children's mattresses, look for child-resistant zippers and a durable footrest. This prevents Junior from slipping as he learns to stand upright in his crib. Children's mattresses should not be too soft so that the growing spine is optimally supported during sleep.

6. The main advantages of different mattress options

Choosing the right mattress can often be difficult as the choices have expanded significantly in recent years. Different materials and production methods offer different benefits and special properties that can be equally well suited to individual needs. For example, pocket spring mattresses have particular advantages in the area of air conditioning. Moisture generated at night is easily released back outside, preventing mold from forming in the long term. Additionally, these types of mattresses only get moderately hot, which is especially important if you prefer a slightly cooler sleeping environment. On the other hand, latex mattresses usually have zone technology and good local elasticity!
