Choosing a mattress wisely: What aspects should we consider when choosing a mattress?

It doesn't matter how we choose a mattress! Online mattress selection can be helpful, but it doesn't replace personal experience and testing. Finding the ideal mattress takes time, and you shouldn't skimp on it! The mattress should also be perfect from a health perspective, and this means not only ergonomic design, but also the use of anti-allergenic or natural materials. And the sleeping position is also important!

Online mattress selectors can help, but personal experience is also important

The results of studies conducted in collaboration with sleep research laboratories were used to create the Our Smart Mattress Selector , which helps you choose the right mattress based on the information provided.

What questions do you need to answer so we can recommend a mattress to you?

In addition to personal information – gender, age, weight and height – the questions are about your sleeping habits and needs. If you do not sleep alone, you will also need to provide the same information about your partner.

Why is it important what the following data reveals?

Gender: Women and men may have different body profiles, weight distribution, and body temperature, even if their height and weight are the same.

Age : Affects the support needs of the spine, regardless of height and weight.

Body weight: Determines how much support you need for the correct position of your spine, i.e. the hardness and thickness of the mattress to be comfortable.

Height: The level of support of the mattress is directly influenced by body height, as the pressure exerted on the surface of the mattress changes accordingly.

Sleep-related issues

  1. Are you sharing your bed with someone? – It will become clear whether you need a single or double mattress, and what needs need to be coordinated.

  2. What sleeping position do you sleep in most often? – This determines how your spine is positioned on the mattress and what kind of support is most ideal for you.

  3. Do you experience pain anywhere in your body while sleeping, and if so, where? - Pain while sleeping indicates that the mattress is not fitting your body or is not adequately reducing pain caused by everyday lifestyle.

  4. Do you experience sweating while sleeping on your current mattress? - Mattresses with sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and moisture-reducing technologies can improve your sleep quality.

  5. Do you have any allergies? - If you often experience nasal congestion, itching, or sneezing after waking up, regardless of the season, this may indicate a dust mite allergy.

After completing the questionnaire, the application will recommend several mattresses to you that meet your sleeping habits, needs, and expectations based on the criteria you provided.

The most important considerations when choosing a mattress

The most important aspects to pay attention to are: what kind of mattress we had and how old it was; why we decided to replace it; how firm it was, what we liked and didn't like about it; what position we sleep in, and how much we weigh.

Sleeping position is important!

The ideal mattress firmness is different for each sleeping position.

Many people often experience pain in their pelvis and shoulders when sleeping on their side , so for this position, it is worth choosing a mattress with a medium-hard or soft top layer, which provides adequate support for the spine.

When sleeping on your back, choose a firm mattress that provides adequate comfort for your back and keeps your spine in the correct position. The appropriate firmness for this position is a medium-firm or firm mattress. When sleeping on your back, the body weight is evenly distributed, as well as the pressure on your back, neck, and joints.

When lying on your stomach, a medium-firm mattress provides adequate support and keeps your spine in the correct position, and is usually the best choice. If it is too firm, the natural S-shape of your spine will be distorted, which can lead to back pain.

Our weight determines the thickness of the mattress

When lying on a mattress, our body sinks, some parts of our body more, while others less. Taking into account the so-called pressure points – where the body experiences greater pressure – the mattress should help distribute the load on the body as optimally as possible. That is why the mattress should be thick enough to accommodate our body, while also providing adequate support in the points where we need it most.

Maintaining the ideal spine curve while sleeping is especially important, and semi-firm and firm mattresses are best at maintaining this. Each of Yatas Bedding's premium quality mattresses consists of several layers, so the thinnest is 23 cm, while the thickest is 33 cm. For an adult of average weight, 23 cm may be enough, but since body weight is not the only important factor when choosing a mattress, it is worth seeking expert advice and trying out the mattress before purchasing.

Why is Yataş Bedding's offering special?

In Yataş Bedding 's mattress offering There are premium quality mattresses for all ages and body types. We can boast the most modern, innovative mattress manufacturing technologies of the past decades, in which we have tried to take into account the needs of our customers.

There is more than one solution developed exclusively for Yatas in the mattresses, one of the best known is perhaps the DHT spring system , which consists of double-hardened steel springs, ensuring proper body support and a long lifespan of the mattress.

Pocket springs operate independently of each other, so they can respond to body movements individually. For ergonomic support, there are also 5- or 7-zone pocket spring mattresses , which offer different hardness zones for each part of the body, thus increasing comfort and ensuring healthy, uninterrupted sleep.

The hybrid mattress has a layered structure, combining traditional spring support and modern foam technology. This ensures both stable support and maximum comfort. The advantage of this design is that the spring properly supports the spine, while the upper foam layers reduce pressure points and adapt to the shape of the body.

Useful tips before and after choosing a mattress

  • The mattress also ages: it is usually worth replacing the mattress after 8-10 years of use, because over the years it loses its shape, cannot properly support our body, and gets dirty, absorbs our sweat, gets contaminated with other dirt, and dust mites may multiply in it.

  • One mattress can serve different needs: thanks to modern technologies and innovative developments, we have more than one mattress in our offer that has been designed with the needs of couples in mind: e.g. memory foam for customized comfort, anti-rollover solution. This way, you don't have to buy two separate mattresses and endure the inconveniences that come with it.

  • It takes time to adjust to a new mattress: it may take up to 2-3 weeks to get used to your new mattress, so don't be impatient, wait it out. The ideal mattress for you will sooner or later live up to your expectations and will work perfectly.

How can we extend the life of our mattress?

  1. Rotate regularly (every three months) from head to toe and from one side to the other!

  2. Choose a surface that properly supports the mattress! A solid, flat furniture top is best, but a bed slat is also good, as long as the slats are no more than 4 centimeters apart.

  3. Protect your mattress from dirt with a mattress protector! A mattress protector can extend the life of your mattress by several years: it is a practical solution because it is easy to put on or take off, and it is also very hygienic because it is washable.

  4. Clean the mattress with a vacuum cleaner, and don't forget about the bed slats, wash them once a month!

  5. Make your mattress fresher with built-in innovative solutions ! For example, Fresche® technology eliminates bad odors and also reduces the risk of allergies.
