Qualities of a Perfect Couples Mattress & What to Look For

If you consider that you spend about a third of your life in bed, the importance of a high-quality, comfortable mattress suddenly becomes very clear. For couples that are shopping for a mattress, the process is slightly more complex. There are several distinct characteristics of a good mattress, and each one should be weighed individually according to each partner’s needs and wants.

Here’s a quick mattress buying guide detailing the seven things to look for in a new mattress, whether you’re shopping with your partner or alone:

• Support

  Look for a mattress that provides firm support combined with cushioned comfort. Different construction options, including memory foam, pillowtop and innerspring, offer varying levels of support to meet your particular preference.

• Support for Specific Sleeping Positions

  Do you and your partner tend to sleep on your sides, back or stomach? Different sleeping positions require varying mattress characteristics (and sleeping accessories) for proper support and comfort.

• Temperature Control

  If you or your partner tend to get too warm during the night, stick with a mattress that features cooling gel, fiberfill or other temperature-minimizing elements.

• Motion Transfer

  Sharing your bed means you’ll likely want to minimize motion transfer, so you and your partner won’t be disturbed by each other’s movements.

• Non-Allergenic Qualities

  If either of you suffers from allergies, latex and foam options can help relieve your exposure by limiting dust mites and mold.

• Relief from Medical Conditions

  Medical conditions such as sleep apnea, snoring, and chronic pain can often be relieved or minimized through the selection of the proper mattress. Factors such as support and firmness can have a significant impact on these and other conditions.

• Customized Comfort

  If you and your partner can’t agree on what makes a mattress comfortable, you may want to consider a model that offers individualized settings, allowing you to adjust the firmness and/or position of each half of the mattress.
