There are several moments we look forward to in life- graduation from college, our first work experience, time spent with loved ones and spouses, and for many of us, the day we finally seal the union with the love of our lives.
Now, imagine being with the love of your life, but not being able to get adequate sleep. Imagine feeling dizzy when watching an amazing movie with your spouse, but not having a quality mattress to rest on. This simply depicts the fact that every couple needs a mattress that can promote good sleep.
Choosing a mattress for a couple is a different ball game because it must be perfectly suited to the couple and of course, be able to provide them with quality support, so they can enjoy their sex life. It must also attend to the couples’ choice of mattress.
This is why this article contains the 5 most important features you should look out for before purchasing a couple-friendly mattress.
Here they are:
Firmness
Take a closer look at couples when they sleep- most couples do not assume the same sleeping position. While one is a back sleeper, the other could be a side sleeper.
Back sleeping ensures you maintain your spine in a neutral position; but on a bed with a high level of firmness. This is different for side sleepers. Since the bulk of the weight of their bodies would lie on their shoulders, a soft mattress with low levels of firmness is required- if not, be ready for some twisting due to lack of cushion.
It is going to be pretty difficult to change how one partner sleeps because they’ve probably slept that way their entire lifetime. Therefore, while trying to purchase a couple-friendly mattress, look out for dual firmness. This way, the mattress will support the body in every sleeping posture.
Motion isolation
Some people are very sensitive to the slightest movement during their sleep. When a partner shifts in bed at night, they might end up waking the other partner.
Having such a partner infers the need for a mattress which isolates noise made on the bed to the minimum. Again, mattresses good in motion isolation are the best beds for sex (SleepDelivered.com).
Weight limit
The weight limit of the mattress should be considered. This is because while a partner may be on the big side, the other is smaller in size. Also, both partners can be big in size.
Weight limit of mattresses should be considered in purchasing a couple-friendly mattress because exceeding the weight limit of a mattress can cause damages to the bed; which eventually reduces the overall lifespan of your mattress. In most cases, couples go for mattresses with a weight limit of at least 600 pounds. Also, if the kids will be sleeping with the couple (when they arrive) then, consider going for mattresses with a higher weight limit.
Support
Support is similar to firmness, although a bit different. While firmness indicates how soft or hard a bed is, support indicates the ability of your mattress to maintain a flat and surface which eventually assists sleepers in alleviating pressure from their spines. A mattress that lacks support often leads to the sagging right in the middle of the mattress. This further increases the chances of back pain. So, it is advisable to go for mattresses that provide adequate support.
Durability and ease of movement
In the course of your relationship with your partner, there are chances you might have to move from one house to another- and you obviously can’t leave your mattress behind. With regards to this, you should consider purchasing a mattress which can be easily moved around. Not only should that, couple-friendly mattresses should have the ability to last a long time (they should be durable). Durability takes away the need to buy another mattress in a short while. Good mattresses, if well maintained could last for 8-10 years. This kind of mattresses should be on top of your list.
Concluding Words
Don’t forget to make proper research before acquiring a mattress. The reason is simple: a good mattress means a good sleep- which infers more productivity!
