For a good night's sleep, it is imperative to choose the best bedding suited to your needs ! But which mattress to choose from the many products offered in store, and which duvet to put on it? With this guide, you will know which type of mattress to choose, foam, latex or spring mattress. By opting for quality bed sheets, you get complete bedding!
How to choose the dimensions of your mattress?
The first thing you need to think about when choosing your bedding is the size of the mattress. Depending on your own body type, but also the desired comfort, you can opt for a mattress with classic dimensions (140x200 cm), a queen size mattress (160x200 cm) or a king size mattress (180x200 cm). Of course, you will need to choose your box spring based on the size of the mattress chosen.
Note that a larger mattress will give you greater comfort, but it will also take up more space in your master bedroom! If you want to install your bed in a small room, it is better to opt for standard dimensions, which will allow you to feel comfortable when you move around your room.
Which material to choose, foam, latex or spring mattress?
For this little mattress comparison, we will see the advantages, but also the disadvantages of different mattress materials . We will not talk here about the best mattress brands, but rather their strengths as a whole, which will allow you to choose a foam, spring or latex mattress according to your own needs.
The advantages and disadvantages of foam mattresses
The foam mattress is undoubtedly the most popular mattress. It is a universal mattress that adapts to all body types and has excellent value for money . For better comfort, choose a memory foam mattress with a more or less soft feel. Different foams make up this mattress to provide a comfortable fit while maintaining good density at the heart of the mattress. A mattress topper can be used on a denser mattress, which will allow you to obtain the comfort you have always dreamed of.
In addition to the fact that the foam mattress has an attractive price, it is the tranquility it offers that will appeal to you . Making no noise, it delicately envelops the body of sleepers for peaceful nights of sleep. Note, however, that this type of mattress does not generally have great breathability, so you will need to remember to turn your mattress over regularly to have good ventilation. People who sweat a lot will need to opt for a foam mattress specially designed for them.
The advantages and disadvantages of spring mattresses
If the foam mattress is made of several layers placed on top of each other, the spring mattress is, for its part, made up of several pocket springs placed next to each other. This technology allows for better sleeping independence in addition to excellent breathability . This type of filling is not cheap, however, the spring mattress is generally more expensive than the traditional foam mattress and it is also noisier. For greater comfort, you will need to choose a mattress with the right thickness.
Although innerspring mattresses can offer good sleeping independence, if you choose a lower quality mattress, you may feel your partner moving. It is therefore important to choose a brand with quality labels if you do not want to be disappointed. You can choose a hybrid mattress , made up of pocket springs and welcoming foam. These two technologies put together offer quality filling for a peaceful night's sleep.
The advantages and disadvantages of latex mattresses
The natural latex mattress is one of the high quality beddings. The elasticity of the material offers you a comfortable fit, but it is above all the density of the mattress which allows it to keep the spine straight, whatever your body shape. It is therefore an ideal mattress for people who have back pain . Note also that latex allows great independence in sleeping and that it has good ventilation . Just like the foam mattress, it can be installed on a slatted base.
Although latex can provide comfortable mattresses, the price of the material could put off many people. This is a luxury product that will change your nights of sleep into dream nights . While the price of this product may be a barrier, note that the average lifespan of your mattress will be the same, regardless of the materials it is made of. A foam, spring or latex mattress, if it is of good quality, can be kept for around 10 years.
Why is choosing your duvet important?
If you want to be warm in winter while staying cool in summer, you will need to choose a quality duvet. Between natural duvet and synthetic duvet , which one will you choose? Discover here the many criteria to take into account when purchasing your duvet.
Choosing a natural duvet
By choosing a natural feather and down duvet , you are choosing softness and lightness. With its plump feel and swelling effect , this duvet will comfortably envelop you during your nights' sleep. If you want the filling of your duvet to stay perfectly in place, choose checkered quilting which will ensure even distribution of feathers and down.
Although the comfort of the natural duvet is incomparable, its price is generally higher than that of a synthetic duvet. You will also need to opt for a high quality duvet if you do not want the filling to escape from the cotton cover. We offer you a natural duvet with a super resistant cover so that the feathers and down stay in place!
Choosing a synthetic duvet
There are many poor quality synthetic duvets available, which may have tarnished the reputation of this product. However, by choosing a high-end synthetic duvet , you obtain pleasant comfort and enveloping softness. Synthetic duvet is generally easier to clean than natural duvet. It even becomes ecological when its filling is made from recycled bottles, as is the case for our French-made duvet .
Although the synthetic duvet is less expensive than the natural duvet, it nevertheless remains heavier and less fluffy. Although it can be used in both winter and summer, it is also less breathable, which can be problematic for people who tend to sweat. Most synthetic duvets, however, receive antiallergic treatment , which is not the case for natural duvets. If you are allergic to dust mites, this selection criterion will be of great importance to you.
How to choose pillows and other elements of your bedding?
For your pillows, it's the same principle as for your duvet. You have the choice between natural or synthetic materials . If the down pillow offers you excellent comfort, the synthetic pillow could convince you with its anti-allergic aspect, its ease of maintenance and its lucrative cost. Note that you have the choice between a firmer or softer pillow , to choose according to your own preferences.
The bolster might also interest you. If the traditional cushion is square in shape, the bolster is rectangular or cylindrical in shape. It adapts to the width of your bed. A 90 cm bolster will be suitable for a single bed while a 160 cm bolster will fit a queen size bed.
And the sheets then, shall we talk about them?
To obtain a complete bedding pack , you will need to choose quality sheets ! It is best to choose sheets made from natural materials if you want your duvet to be able to breathe. Synthetic sheets and duvet covers are generally of lower quality, they are less breathable, which can affect your sleep.
But which sheets to choose to have quality bed linen? There are several subjects that may interest you. Cotton percale and cotton sateen have a very good reputation. They are resistant, soft and fluffy. If you want to get an aesthetic and glamorous bedding set, choose a duvet cover made from washed linen or cotton gauze . These two materials will offer a very natural aesthetic to your bedroom.
Finally, think about protectingyour bedding . With a mattress protector and pillow protectors, you increase the lifespan of your bedding. Whether for your own room, for your child's room or for your guest room, these protections will quickly become essential.
By choosing a mattress that suits you, a soft duvet, comfortable cushions and a complete bed set, you get dream bedding!
