Queen Size Mattress, Queen Mattress, Mattress Melbourne

Buying your first mattress can be a bit of an adventure. All the people you talk to have an opinion, make recommendations, and they can tell you exactly which one is the best on the market. Unfortunately, what works fine for them may not be suitable for you. Each person has to figure out for themselves if buying, for example, a queen mattress in Melbourne is right for them.

Before heading to the store to look at a single, double, king or queen size mattress, you may want to first research the topic a bit. We hope that the following list of questions and answers can be a good start.

1. How often should a mattress be replaced?

The lifespan of a mattress depends on the style, as well as the care it received. Generally, mattresses last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, unless they have a 15 year warranty. Even then, it would be best to replace your mattress sooner for hygienic reasons. Therefore hiring professional furniture movers may be a great idea.

2. Do you need a firmer mattress if your back is always sore?

It is not necessarily true that a firm mattress will cure your morning back aches. The best mattress, regardless if this is a double or queen mattress, is the one that is soft enough not to cause sore pressure points, but still has plenty of firmness to keep your spine properly aligned. If your muscles do not have to work all night to compensate for a bad mattress, your pain will subside.

3. Should you also replace the base?

There is no need to replace the base if it is still in good condition. Using an old base should also have no affect on your mattress warranty.

4. Do new mattresses still need to be turned over every 6 weeks?

Unless you buy have a newer style mattress, based on no-turn technology, the answer is YES. Sorry, but the back breaking task of mattress flipping continues.

5. Can a new mattress be used with you existing timber slat bed?

The majority of mattresses, even a queen mattress from Melbourne, are designed to go on both ensemble bases and slat beds. In case you wonder; an ensemble base is a timber-framed box covered in the same fabric as the mattress.

6. What is better- a spring or foam mattress?

Spring mattresses are losing in popularity because many people prefer the comfort and body support of foam mattresses. Even a top of the line spring queen mattress will not offer the body contouring and spinal support that memory or latex foam can provide.
Both types have their pros and cons. Springs can lose their shape and bend over time, while foam can shrink.

7. What is the difference between a memory and latex foam mattress?

Latex foam has a higher, more natural elasticity or resiliency than memory foam. It therefore feels much “springier” than the more solid memory foam, which will not push back up when pressure is applied. Because they both have great qualities, many mattress companies are now using a blend of both these materials to create the perfect mattress. Remember that when you are talking to a sales clerk! Good luck on your search!
