Why is it a bad idea to seek outside advice when choosing a mattress?

stop asking for outside opinions when choosing your mattress

When you're looking to change your mattress, one of the first things you'll do is ask the opinion of those around you: loved ones, friends, family, colleagues, neighbors... everyone can be asked at any time to get an idea of the popular brands.

ERROR.

Another reflex might be to visit "unbiased" sites to compare different models. Comparison sites, blogs, consumer associations, sleep habits quizzes on different sites... we could spend weeks there and still be lost in the mountain of information that can be found online.

SECOND MISTAKE.

Why this sentence? Simply because choosing a mattress is very personal. The right mattress for you, for your habits, your way of sleeping is unique to you, and you know what? The latest news is that you are UNIQUE.

This is why at Morphéa , we have decided to offer you a wide range of mattresses, all of which meet different needs.

We also help you navigate better through the different criteria.

Criterion Number One: The number of people sleeping on your mattress.

Here, the question to ask yourself is: Do you sleep alone or with others (partner, baby, child who frequently comes to squat in the parental bed?)

For sleeping one person > you still have all the options available to you.
For sleeping two people > we recommend aHybrid . With pocket springs + memory foam. This is the option that gives you the most sleeping independence. Luckily, it's also the option that suits the greatest number of people because it combines the benefits of the two key materials in mattress composition.

Criteria Number Two : Soft vs. Firm Reception

If you're still considering all your options, you're still deciding between a foam mattress, a hybrid mattress, or a latex mattress. The question to ask yourself here is: how do you like to feel on your mattress? Wrapped? Or firmly supported?

If you like to feel enveloped, welcomed, as if you were being hugged > you have a preference for memory foam > choose a mattress that contains up to 5cm of it The options you have left are: Foam orHybrid .
If you like to feel firmly welcomed and supported by your mattress, or you are a large person (over 80kg) > choose a Latex mattress. This is the option that will guarantee you firmness, and this, for a long time.

Criterion Number Three : Restless Sleep vs. Still Sleep

At this stage of the choice, you may still have two options: Foam or Hybrid, depending on what you chose in Criterion Number One. Here, the question to ask yourself is: how much muscle pain do you suffer when you wake up?

If you don't particularly suffer from muscle pain, you probably also have what is known as "dynamic" sleep. You will move during your sleep > choose a hybrid mattress with pocket springs , which will accompany your movements by bouncing with you.
If you suffer from pain when you wake up, you either have too much rest or poor posture, and this can be solved with a mattress with impeccable support, which relieves all the pressure points of your body > choose a foam or latex mattress. The high-density foam offered in all Morphéa mattresses is an option that will allow you to relieve pressure, and therefore free you from pain. To find out whether you would prefer a foam or latex mattress, return to Criterion Number Two.

And there you have it, you should be a little clearer on your decision tree and the questions to ask yourself before choosing a new mattress. If you still have doubts, we invite you to compare mattresses by material . Find out what makes the difference between this or that hybrid mattress, for example. Most of the time, it's the thickness that varies and explains the price difference.

Either way, all our mattresses come with free shipping and a 100-night trial period , so you can get started without too much risk. You can always return your product and upgrade to a different model or get a refund.

We hope that this little guide will help you shine in society, and answer the next person who asks your opinion on the matter... just read this article to get an idea!

There's one more criterion we need to address: the mattress's breathability. This is a very important criterion for people living in regions where temperatures can easily rise in the summer. We'll dedicate a specific article to explaining how to choose the perfect mattress for these people.
