Mattress Guide – Find the Perfect Bed for Your East Yorkshire Bedroom
Looking for a new mattress can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. The right mattress supports your spine, matches your sleep style, and blends with the bedroom design you’ve created with our custom furniture. Below you’ll get straight‑to‑the‑point advice that helps you decide quickly.
How to Choose the Right Firmness
Firmness is the first thing most people notice. If you sleep on your back, a medium‑firm mattress keeps your hips and lower back aligned. Side sleepers benefit from a softer feel that cushions the shoulders. Stomach sleepers usually need a firmer surface to prevent the hips from sinking too low.
Try a mattress in the store for at least 10 minutes – lie in your usual sleeping position and notice any pressure points. Many retailers now offer a 30‑night trial, so you can test it at home without risk.
Size Matters – Pick the Right Dimensions
Measure your bedroom before you order. A double mattress (135 cm × 190 cm) fits most standard rooms, but if you have a larger space, a king‑size (150 cm × 200 cm) gives you extra room to stretch out. Remember to leave at least 60 cm of clearance on each side for night‑stand placement and easy movement.
If you’re working with a custom bedroom set, ask us to design wardrobes and nightstands that fit the exact dimensions of your chosen mattress. That way nothing feels cramped and the whole room flows together.
Another tip: consider the height of the mattress. A higher profile makes getting in and out of bed easier for older family members, while a low‑profile mattress pairs nicely with modern, sleek bedroom furniture.
Materials – What’s Best for You?
Foam mattresses hug your body and are great for motion isolation – perfect if you share the bed. Spring mattresses give a buoyant feel and tend to stay cooler, which is a bonus during hot summer nights in East Yorkshire.
Hybrid options combine foam and springs, offering the best of both worlds. If you have allergies, look for mattresses with hypo‑allergenic covers and antimicrobial treatments.
For eco‑conscious buyers, natural latex or organic cotton options reduce chemical exposure and support sustainable production.
Customising Your Mattress and Bedroom
Our team can help you match the mattress to a custom headboard, built‑in storage, or upholstered bench. A coordinated look makes the room feel tailor‑made and adds resale value.
Talk to us about adding features like a lift‑up topper for extra comfort or a mattress protector that blends with your décor. We’ll also advise on the best foundation – a solid platform or a slatted base – depending on the mattress type.
Finally, don’t forget the basics: rotate your mattress every three months and keep it clean with a breathable cover. These small steps extend the life of your investment and keep your sleep environment fresh.
