Most people who go in search of a new mattress either have a problem to be solved or have specific requirements. Perhaps you have a bad back and need a very firm mattress. Or perhaps you get very hot at night and need a mattress with special airflow.
But what if you have a more unusual problem to be solved? Finding a suitable mattress can be tricky. Here are some common mattress buying problems, and their solutions.
A regular bed just doesn’t suit my needs
It can be quite a headache if you can’t find a bed that suits your requirements. Whether you need extra storage, a different headboard or have specific requirements for special needs, Reinforced Beds can help you with that.
Additionally, if you require a bed for those with additional needs such as Autism or other mental health conditions, we have a specific Mental Health Bed Collection which is perfect for this!
I have a bad back, but a firm mattress is uncomfortable
Firm pocket spring mattresses are a good option for those with bad backs, but they aren’t necessarily for everyone. Memory foam mattresses are often cited as a good alternative as they are also firm. The mattress enables your weight to be distributed evenly allowing your spine to maintain a good posture.
A possible alternative to soften a very hard mattress, without paying out for a brand-new mattress, is to purchase a mattress topper. An Air Flow Mattress topper, for example, allows ventilation which stops you getting too hot at night and softens a hard mattress. It is attached easily to your regular mattress and is a reasonably priced option.
I suffer from night urinary incontinence
If you suffer from night-time incontinence, then you may be relying on absorbent mats to protect your current mattress. This is an okay short-term solution, but have you thought about a waterproof mattress? A waterproof heavy-duty mattress has anti-microbial and hypoallergenic properties, helping you keep hygienic alongside protecting your mattress helping you get a good night’s sleep.
