One Mattress, Can It Be Suitable For All?

Does One Mattress Fit All?

There's a new concept that's sweeping through the bed world and it's the idea that one mattress can fit all. You can't scroll through social media or read a magazine without being faced with an advert for a mattress that is supposedly the only one that you'll ever need. With one click, from the comfort of your own home you can have a new mattress delivered to your door and bobs your uncle you'll be sleeping like a baby. Sounds too good to be true? Well it depends on who you are and what your needs are. In this article we will look at the pros and cons of one mattress being suitable for everyone.

The Pros

1. Buying a bed can often feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. When you walk into a showroom sales people bombard you with information about springs, memory foam and firmness ratings. Before you know it your head is in a spin and you need to lie down just to recover from the information overload.

2. Companies that sell one mattress often offer a 100 day money back guarantee.

3. You can save your free time for fun time. As these companies are all online the process of buying a mattress is quick and hassle free.

The Cons

1. Buying a bed is a long term commitment and should always be researched. Whilst a hassle free process can seem appealing you may pay the price in the long run. The concept of one mattress being suitable for all seems a little bit simplistic as comfort is purely subjective.

2. Whilst some sales people can seem pushy, many sales people have a wealth of knowledge that you can benefit from. The companies that sell one product have generally been set up by tech entrepreneurs who have no experience bed retailing.

3. The current trends mean that these mattresses are almost exclusively manufactured from foam and memory foam. If you prefer a more traditional pocket sprung mattress with natural fillings then the chances are that this type of option isn't for you.

4. Your budget might not be sufficient or you may want a more luxurious model. These mattresses tend to retail around the £500.00 so unless this is what you want to pay then this mattress might not be right for your needs.
