4 Most Common Reasons People Purchase a New Mattress

1. Tossing & Turning

Tossing & Turning can lead to many sleepless nights. The most common reason being the type of mattress you own. It can be to soft or too firm, causing pressure and making you uncomfortable. You may be sleeping too hot or too cold also impacting your sleep.

2. Partner Disturbance
Having a restless partner to share a bed with can easily effect your sleep. Traditional spring mattresses do not isolate the motion transfer from your partner moving as great as memory foam & pocketed coil mattresses do.

3. Body Impressions

Typically you sleep in the same spot night after night causing your mattress to compress & conform to your body making an impression of your body. This could happen due to low quality material & inexpensive components leading to a less comfortable sleep. 

4. Old Technology

There have been much advancement in mattress technology you may not be aware of. Older mattresses like spring mattresses are the most common types used but are arguably the worst for your sleep. Newer mattress technology like memory foam & latex is designed with the consumer in mind by ensuring a better night’s sleep through comfort & little to none motion transfer.
