We all know that to be happy and healthy, a good night’s sleep is needed – that’s no secret. The “secret” is that you need to buy a comfortable mattress in order to get restful sleep. Easy! Or, is it? Where do you start looking and what do you look for?
Ericssons Mattress and Pine in Gauteng stocks a wide variety of mattresses, and with the expertise of our qualified sales staff, we will find the perfect mattress for you to buy – tailored to what you find comfortable, as well as to your pocket.
Here’s an overview of the different varieties of mattresses you can buy from us in Gauteng:
- “Open or continuous coil” mattresses contain a single piece of metal that is coiled to form a number of springs (the wire in the borders of the mattress helps to preserve the shape). These are lighter than most models and are best used in a guest room where they are only used occasionally. They represent good value for money but tend to have a more limited lifespan.
- “Pocket spring” mattresses have small individual springs, with each enclosed in fabric pockets. This results in more freedom to move independently and provides improved support. It’s a good idea to consider this type of mattress for beds that sleep two people, as this design allows for differences in weight and will prevent rolling into the middle of the bed. The hollow structure also provides a breathable surface – a blessing on a hot African summer’s night.
- “Memory foam” mattresses have become all the rage and have multiple advantages: they’re mouldable and responsive to both weight and temperature, have hypo-allergenic properties, and are favourable for people with back problems (the foam aligns the spine horizontally when sleeping on sides). Interestingly, the “sinking” sensation of these mattresses is not for everyone, so be sure to test it out first.
You are always welcome to try out a variety of mattresses at Ericssons Mattress and Pine before make the decision to buy – come and feel for yourself, and discover which style suits you best! If you are based in Gauteng, we can also deliver.
