Lay down and try it. Your new bed needs to be just right for you, so a palm test or sitting on the edge will not be sufficient enough to judge this. Remember you don’t sleep on your fingers so don’t ‘try’ your mattress using your fingers.
Look for firm support for correct spinal alignment. (Look for a straight line down the spine when laying on your side and a natural curve when laying on your back). A mattress should mould to your body’s shape supporting your waist and lower back.
Choose a mattress that isn’t too soft or too hard for your individual needs – If you predominantly sleep on either your stomach, side or back you need the right choice. If a bed is too firm you will experience pressure points reducing blood circulation causing you to toss and turn, losing a good night’s sleep. Orthopaedic experts recommend go for a firm mattress but not so hard as to block off circulation or cause shoulder and hip pain.
A bed that is too soft will take effort to roll and move in, reducing the quality of your sleep. Your spine won’t be properly aligned creating tension in muscles.
Make sure the mattress is big enough for everyone sleeping on the bed. If you have room consider a King size. No noise or movement and plenty of room.
