When it comes to improving the quality of your sleep, one of the most important choices you'll make is your mattress . With so many options available, it can be overwhelming. But by focusing on three key criteria— size, firmness, and materials —you can narrow down your selection and find the mattress that's perfect for you.

At MORPHEA , we believe a good mattress isn't just about comfort. It transforms your entire sleep experience. Here's how these three elements will help you get back to deep, restful sleep.

1. Choose the right mattress size

The first step is to choose a size that fits your space and lifestyle:

  • Single (90×190 cm): Ideal for children, teenagers or adults alone in small bedrooms.
  • Small double (120×190 cm): Perfect for teenagers or adults who want a little more space without cluttering the room.
  • Double (140×190 cm): A popular choice for couples or solo sleepers who like to stretch out.
  • Queen (160×200 cm): Offers more space for couples, especially if one of you moves around a lot at night.
  • King (180×200 cm): The ultimate in comfort and space, perfect for large bedrooms and undisturbed sleep.

Before purchasing, measure your bedroom to ensure the mattress fits harmoniously with your furniture and leaves enough room to move around.

2. Find the right level of firmness

Firmness is a very personal choice, which has a direct impact on the quality of your sleep. It is generally measured on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is ultra-soft and 10 is very firm.

Here's a quick guide:

  • Soft (3–4): Ideal for side sleepers or lightweight people. It relieves pressure on the shoulders and hips.
  • Medium (5–6): Perfect for those who change positions at night. It's a good compromise that suits most profiles.
  • Firm (7–8): Recommended for back or stomach sleepers, or those who need added lower back support.

At MORPHEA , we offer mattresses with different firmness levels so that everyone can find the one that suits their body shape and how they sleep.

3. Select the right materials

Mattress materials affect comfort, breathability, durability, and hygiene. Here are the main ones to know:

  • Memory Foam : Provides contouring comfort and excellent pressure point relief. Ideal for side sleepers or those with joint pain.
  • Latex : Natural, breathable, elastic and durable. It is also hypoallergenic.
  • Hybrid : Combines foam and springs for a good balance between support and comfort. Very suitable for couples with different preferences.
  • Pocket springs: Classic structure offering good bounce and ventilation. Less enveloping, but often more economical.

MORPHEA mattresses are made from premium materials, including certified memory foam, natural latex and breathable covers, for long-lasting comfort and impeccable hygiene.

Additional tips to keep in mind

  • Temperature regulation: If you tend to feel hot at night, opt for a mattress with cooling gel or breathable fabric.
  • Motion Isolation: For couples, a mattress that absorbs motion can really improve sleep quality.
  • Allergies: Choose hypoallergenic materials, such as natural latex or dust mite-resistant covers.

Conclusion

A mattress isn't just a piece of furniture: it's the foundation of your well-being. By considering size, firmness, and materials, you'll get closer to finding the mattress that best suits your body, your sleep, and your lifestyle .
