subject: Taking The Right Types Of King Mattress Sets For You [print this page] If you wake up feeling like you never went to bed, or you have been suffering from back and neck aches it might be time to consider upgrading your king mattress set. Head to your nearest mattress store and start testing them out before you lose another night of sleep. Make sure to try out several mattresses and try to lay on each one for several minuets to get a feel for the comfort level each one provides.
The mattress needs to be able to stabilize your neck and spine when you are lying down emulating the posture when you are standing straight up. Keep this in mind and notice the support each mattress provides to your body.
With the average life span of a good quality king mattress set ranging from seven to ten years it is important that you do not skimp on quality. Your ability to get a good night of sleep is dependent upon it.
Types of King Mattress Sets
Coil: Mattresses that have a coil core are the most popular style around today. While there are countless varieties of coiling shape and materials one thing to look for in all varieties is the coil gauge. The heavier the gauge of the coil the firmer your king mattress set will be. High quality mattresses usually have a coil gauge between 12.5 and 14. Anything above a gauge 14 will be more prone to mattress sag.
Water: The construction of modern day waterbeds have come a long way since they made their debut decades ago. They also make a great option if you are susceptible to allergies. Waterbeds ward off allergens because they are nonporous and do not absorb the typical dander and house dust mites like a standard mattress.
Air: Beds filled with air are no longer just for camping. Several companies are now offering beds with a core made of air. These beds can be built so that each side has its own firmness adjustable to the person sleeping on it. So if you and your partner have very different preferences when it comes to picking a mattress this could be a great option for you.
Posturepedic: If you have problems with back pain check out a posteurepedic mattress. This style of bed was designed with guidance from orthopedic surgeons to ensure that your neck and spine are supported appropriately.
If you want a firm mattress with a little a little extra cushion, invest in a mattress that has a foam pillow top! Also remember to purchase a box spring that matches your mattress. Failure to purchase a king mattress set could result in the mattresses warranty being voided and a decreased lifespan for your mattress.
