How do you choose the right mattress?
A good night's sleep starts with the right foundation. At COCO-MAT, we believe that sleep isn't just about comfort, but above all, about the right support. The right mattress, combined with a topper and a suitable foundation, ensures your body can fully relax and recover.
The basics: solid support
A mattress should be firm enough to keep your spine straight and prevent sagging. The exact firmness varies from person to person. Your body weight , sleeping position , and personal preference all play a significant role:
- Back sleepers usually benefit from a medium to firm mattress.
-
Side sleepers often choose a slightly softer or medium version, so that their shoulders and hips can sink in sufficiently.
- Stomach sleepers sleep better on a firmer mattress to relieve pressure on the lower back.
The topper: pressure relief and comfort
On top of that sturdy base comes the topper. A topper relieves pressure on your shoulders and hips and provides a softer, more comfortable feel, without sacrificing the support of your mattress. This completes your sleep system.
The base under your mattress
Not only your mattress and topper are important, the surface they lie on also plays a major role:
- COCO-MAT box – specially designed to allow the natural layers of your mattress to breathe optimally and do their job. A box provides even more comfort and creates a floating sensation.
- A wooden, rigid frame —from COCO-MAT or another brand—is also suitable. It's important that the base is stable and doesn't bounce. A wooden frame is always somewhat sturdier.
An incorrect base, such as a flexible slatted base, can disrupt the functioning of your mattress and even cause discomfort. Therefore, we always recommend a sturdy, fixed base. A frame not recommended by COCO-MAT may void the warranty.
