ASK THE EXPERTS AT BEDS ARE UZZ

Q: WHICH MATTRESS IS BEST?

There is no simple answer as everyone has different needs and preferences - you need to make the right choice for you. It can be hard to know where to start as there is so much choice on the market nowadays. Make sure to visit a store and speak with an experienced salesperson who can advise you based on your needs.

Q: WHAT TYPE OF MATTRESS CAN HELP YOU STAY COOL?

Natural fillings such as cotton, wool, silk and cashmere are much better alternatives to artificial fillings for helping regulate body temperature at night. Also look out for Tencel (a fibre derived from wood) mattress protectors as these can also be very effective.

Q: WHICH SIZE BED?

It is recommended to choose the biggest size that your bedroom and budget can accommodate. The bigger the bed, the less partner disturbance which equals a better night’s sleep.

Q: DO I NEED A NEW BASE?

If you currently have a sprung divan base then in most cases you should replace this because it will affect the feel and performance of the new mattress. However, most solid (platform-top) divans or bedsteads with wooden slats can be paired with a new mattress without any issues.
