Finding the Right Mattress for Your Body: Why One Size Doesn't Fit All
Finding the Right Mattress for Your Body: Why One Size Doesn't Fit All
When it comes to sleep, everyone has unique needs. Your body’s curvature, the way you sleep, and the pressure points you experience can all influence the quality of your rest. However, traditional mattresses, which are typically designed with a single level of firmness, fail to cater to these unique needs. This can result in discomfort, poor alignment, and other muscle issues, especially in the 4 “Critical Contact Areas”: the shoulders, hips, neck, and lower back.
Understanding the Issue: Pressure and Support Imbalance
Most traditional mattresses provide uniform support across the entire surface, meaning they offer the same firmness no matter where your body makes contact. This approach doesn’t take into account the fact that every body is different.
For example, if you’re a side sleeper, your shoulders and hips can experience excessive pressure, leading to discomfort and even muscle stiffness. Meanwhile, if you’re a back sleeper, you might not get enough support in your neck and lower back, which can cause misalignment and lead to chronic pain over time.
Common issues caused by this imbalance include:
- Neck Pain: Insufficient support for the neck can lead to poor alignment of the spine, resulting in stiffness or aches upon waking.
- Lower Back Pain: Without the proper support, the lower back can become misaligned, leading to long-term discomfort.
- Shoulder Pain: Overly firm or unsupportive mattresses can create excessive pressure on the shoulders, leading to aches, numbness, or tingling.
- Hip Pain: Like the shoulders, the hips bear significant pressure for side sleepers, which can result in joint discomfort.
At Sleepmart, we understand these challenges and are committed to helping sleepers with special needs find the right solution. That’s why we offer modular-designed mattresses that can improve pressure distribution and provide the right support for different body shapes and sleep positions.
Sleepmart's 2 Solutions for Better Pressure Relief
1. SPINE DELUXE by DPM
The SPINE DELUXE mattress is built with our exclusive Point-To-Point® Relief System, a design that offers custom-fit support based on your individual body shape. The mattress is divided into eight components of varying sizes and firmness levels, allowing it to adjust to your body’s unique contours. This results in optimal pressure relief on the critical contact areas such as the shoulders, hips, neck, and lower back, providing balanced support for your entire body.
One standout feature is the CoupleFit® Design, which caters to couples who have different body shapes and needs. By re-arranging the colour-coded blocks (blue, orange, yellow, and green), you can create a personalised sleeping experience that balances firmness and comfort. The blocks represent the following firmness levels:
- Blue: Firm
- Orange: 75% Firm
- Yellow: 50% Firm
- Green: 25% Firm
You can order this mattress in double or queen sizes and adjust the firmness to suit your body perfectly. For those who value precision, we offer the DPM® advanced Point-To-Point® Sensor at our Chatswood or Hurstville showrooms. This sensor precisely measures your height, weight, and weight distribution to help you arrange the blocks for optimal support.
2. A-FONTANE Spinefit Mattress
For those seeking a simpler option with a focus on pressure relief for the shoulders and hips, the A-FONTANE Spinefit Mattress is another excellent choice. Available in single, double, and king single sizes, this mattress uses a similar modular philosophy to the SPINE DELUXE, but with fewer customization options. You can adjust the two-colour modules to provide different firmness levels for your shoulder and hip areas, reducing pressure and ensuring better alignment.
While this mattress offers fewer customisable features (also more affordable in price), it still can accurately support your different body parts, and significantly reduce excessive pressure on the over-pressured areas (shoulders and hips), making it a great option for those with pain or discomfort in these zones.
A Custom Fit for Every Body
Both the SPINE DELUXE and the A-FONTANE Spinefit Mattress are designed to address the problem of “one-size-fits-all” mattresses. Whether you suffer from shoulder or hip issues, need better weight distribution, or simply want a more balanced sleep experience as a couple, these mattresses offer tailored solutions that traditional mattresses can’t match.
