What type of Sleeper are you? Back, Side or Stomach?
Back and stomach sleepers generally are more comfortable on a flatter
and harder mattress. Side sleeper requires a little softer mattress to
allow the hips and shoulders to sink in, allowing the mattress to
support the side and therefore keeping the spine straight.

Do you have problems with pressure points?
If you have pressure point problems,
a softer mattress may be better. And adding extra cushioning like the
1-1/2 wool pad or the premium 3" wool pad adds extra comfort.
|
|
Do you think you want a mattress as firm as the floor?
Most people who feel this way
don't sleep all night on the floor. If you are one of the rare ones
who can do this comfortably, then our hardest latex or cotton/wool
extra firm mattresses would be the ideal choice. Most people need more
cushioning than this. Consider that you need to lie comfortably on
this 6-8 hours at a time.

|
What is your body type?
Generally people with more curves
need a softer, more cushioned mattress and someone with less
curvature.
|
|
Do you like a flat surface
or do you want to feel like the mattress gently holds you?
Latex gives the most solid, flat feel of our mattresses. To get the
feeling that a mattress gently holds you, consider adding our 3"
topper. You can get the cloud-like comfort without sacrificing
support.

What age are you buying for?
A 5-year old child will have different weight and support
requirements than a 20-year old. Also think about how your body felt
and all the changes you may have been feeling compared to 5 years
ago? 10 years ago? Ask anyone in their 70's and they can tell you
they feel more aches and pains than when they were in their 60's. Or
someone in their 50's may start to feel the onset of arthritis and
may mistake the pains as needing a firmer mattress instead of
something with more cushioning. Ask yourself several questions and
be very honest with yourself.
How old are you? Or how old will be
you be in 5 years? 10 years? Even though you may live a health,
active life, our bodies change with time.
Could your pains possibly be
age-related?
You may remember sleeping on
the floor when you were younger. But do you still do that now? And
are your still comfortable? Or do you get up slower and stiffer if
you do this.
Are there any old injuries that
may start to surface? That may require support, yet more cushioning
than you may have thought about?
|
Do you sleep hot?
Everyone loses moisture when sleeping. Some people sleep hotter than
others. If you are the type that sleeps hotter, wool is the perfect
insulator. It will wick away moisture and provide a more comfortable
sleeping environment.
|
What is your climate? Where do you live?
In areas that are hotter and more humid, mold and mildew are a
concern. Latex and wool are better choices for these areas.
Remember that choosing a mattress
is a very personal choice. These are some guidelines and questions
to ask yourself to help you can make the best decision for your
sleeping comfort.
