Is a hard mattress best for my back?
This is a misconception, and not entirely true. While your body requires a sturdy and supportive foundation. A mattress should also deliver a certain aspect of comfort which is attained through softer comfort and quilting layers. A Pillow top mattress will often display these traits.
The benefit of this theory means that, while the body foundation whether it be spring, Latex etc, is offering your body the support you need, the top layer or pillow top will contour and shape your body relieving any pressure points or soreness.
How often should I change my mattress?
10 years is generally a good indication to go by.
This is just a guideline, and there obviously exceptions.
A budget mattress may require changing every 2 – 3 years whilst a top quality Latex mattress may last 15-20 years.
Is it better to choose a mattress with my partner there?
Yes, if there two people sleeping on the mattress then it is definitely beneficial for both to be present when purchasing.
A critical part of purchasing a new mattress is the testing process. With a wide range of mattresses available on the market it is important that you and your partner take the time test the mattress together.
