How long should a super king size mattress last?
As we spend a third of our lives in bed, we have to realise that mattresses don’t last forever. The average lifespan of a mattress is between 7 to 8 years.
That doesn’t sound a lot, but an 8-year-old mattress with an average of 8 hours use a night adds up to 23,360 hours of wear and tear during this period.
So, if your mattress is• more that 7-8 years old
• if you wake with stiffness aches and pains
• if you’re not sleeping as well as you did a year ago
• if you’ve had a better night’s sleep in a bed that’s not yours
• If your mattress is starting to sag and go lumpy
These are all tell-tale signs that your mattress is past its best and it’s time for a change.
What type of super king size mattress is best for me?
Choosing a mattress for you depends on several things, such as your favoured sleeping position, the firmness that you prefer and most importantly, the budget that you are comfortable with.
If you like to sleep on your side, a medium soft tension with plenty of cushioning is normally the preferred choice. Medium soft allows you to sink into the mattress slightly, whilst still feeling supported.
For those who change their sleeping position throughout the night, a medium firm option is the right mattress for you. Medium firm is renowned for providing just the right support for your spine, neck and lower back.
If you’re a front or back sleeper, a firm support or extra firm mattress tends to suit most people. A firmer mattress provides increased support for your spine and joints from the pressure that can build up from sleeping in these positions.
What types of super king size mattresses are available?
Reflex Foam – A cheaper alternative to memory foam, reflex foam offers the same high level of antimicrobial and dust mite resistance, ideal for allergy sufferers or asthmatics.
Open Coil – Robust and durable, traditional open coil springs are set out in rows running from head to toe and connected at the top and bottom by a series of spiral wires.
Continuous Coil – This is a unique type of spring system that’s made up of intertwining coils that run the length of the mattress. This reduces roll-together and partner disturbance.
Pocket Spring – Housed in their individual cloth sleeves, pocket spring are totally independent of any neighbouring springs, resulting in piston-like support where you need it most.
What fillings are used in super king mattresses?
Memory Foam – Designed to be temperature sensitive, memory foam softens when in contact with body heat, moulding itself to your contours for a more restful night’s sleep.
Latex – Hypo-allergenic and boasting natural elasticity, latex offers exceptional comfort, support and excellent temperature and moisture regulation.
Gel – Boasting thermo-regulating properties, Gel is able to disperse excess heat away from the body to provide a cooler surface on which to sleep on.
Geltex – A gel infused comfort layer offers enhanced breathability and a bounce back sensation that actively responds to your body shape as you sleep.
Natural – Springier and softer than synthetic fillings, natural layers such as wool, cotton, silk and cashmere boast excellent temperature regulating properties for a cool night’s sleep.
How much do super king size mattresses cost?
A new mattress is an investment in your sleep, health and overall wellbeing, so it’s important that you purchase as good a mattress that you can afford.
With an average lifespan of 8 years, did you know a £1000 mattress only costs 34p per night? You can half that if you’re sharing it with someone.
And given that we spend a third of their life in bed, 34p a night is a small price to pay for a quality night’s sleep.
It’s better to invest in buying the right mattress than to save money buying the wrong one.
