To start, find out whether you prefer spring, foam or memory mattresses. The best way to do this is to go to the store to try them out! The choice of a mattress remains very personal. Consumers are increasingly fond of memory foam mattresses, a technology that conforms to the body and removes pressure points.They appreciate their comforting side and their enveloping welcome. Others prefer foam mattresses, with firmer comfort, those in latex, with high elasticity, or even pocket spring mattresses. These offer great sleeping independence as well as optimal breathability. Besides the type of mattress, you should pay special attention to your firmness needs, which vary depending on your body type.
