Sir, buy a mattress – bazaar romance?

How long should you test a mattress?

To properly evaluate a mattress, it is recommended to sleep on it for at least 30 nights. Spending 15 minutes on a mattress in a store tells you nothing substantial because during sleep, we are unconscious and in a store, we consciously control our body movements. Additionally, clothing and the microclimate of our homes differ from that of a store. Lastly, display models in stores often differ from those delivered to customers' homes.

Is it normal to sleep poorly on a new mattress?

Generally, this is not normal. If your new mattress is fully functional, supporting the spine in its natural alignment while contouring to your body, you should experience comfort from the first few nights. Exceptions may occur if spinal issues are so severe that the mattress needs to mechanically alter its curves, hence the recommendation to test a mattress for at least 30 nights, optimally for 50 nights.

Is it advisable to buy used mattresses?

Generally, buying a used mattress is not a good idea. There is usually a reason why someone wants to sell it. Most likely, it is because the mattress is not functional, which means it won?t provide healthy or comfortable sleep. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the used mattress was properly maintained and stored, potentially harboring a unique set of bacteria from previous users. Used mattresses may also contain dust mites, fungi, mold, or even insects like bed bugs.

Why does a mattress cause back pain?

Back pain may occur if the mattress does not function properly, failing to provide proper support for the spine. It should also contour the body correctly to support the spine's curves. This contouring should not be confused with the sinking that occurs with memory foam. Often, back pain arises from using a top layer of memory foam in the mattress. Additionally, sleeping on a mattress that is too hard or too soft can cause back pain.

What types of mattresses should be avoided?

It is best to avoid mattresses that do not support the spine in a way that maintains its natural curves. Therefore, avoid mattresses with a top layer made of memory foam and T-foam. Also, steer clear of spring cores, including pocket springs, as they often fail to provide adequate support. Consider purchasing a mattress made from high-resilience HR foam instead.
