Cheap Mattress

When it comes to mattresses you should always try to buy the best you can afford; a good mattress will repay you many times over in the quality of sleep you get. A cheap mattress will give you a cheap nights sleep but that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune to get the rest you deserve; the most expensive mattress isn't necessarily the best.

Everyone likes to economise but there are some things that shouldn't be skimped on, a new mattress is one of those things; you get what you pay for. But it can be hard to spend £500 on a mattress when we can get one for just £100 or even less. On the spot it may be difficult to justify the difference in price on face value alone, especially as they may look, feel and appear to be the same. It is true that it is only through long use that the true qualities of a good mattress will show themselves.

As we have mentioned before on the site you spend, on average, one third of your life asleep; that's 8 hours a day. But, because we are asleep we are aren't conscious of the things that are wrong with our mattress; when we wake with a bed back or are suffering from a restless night we are likely to blame a partner or bad day before we blame the mattress we have slept on. If you had to sit for eight hours a day on an uncomfortable chair you would soon do something to sort it out.

A cheap mattress could be a strain on your relationship and affect your productivity, mood and general wellbeing.

Manufacturers of cheaper mattresses cut corners buy using less padding and less durable, poorer quality materials; some 'new' mattresses may even be refurbished with coils and foam from old mattresses. A good quality mattress should last you at least ten years, a cheaply made mattress will last half this time at best. The coils, springs and foam used in cheaper mattresses won't give you the comfort and support you need; you may save money in the short term but the savings you make may cost you in backache and sleepless nights for years to come. Look at it this way, if a good quality mattress costing £500 lasts 10 years then each good nights sleep has cost you, on average, 14p. A sound investment if you ask us, and a lot less than you spend when awake.

You will hear many conflicting points of view on the matter of cheap mattresses; some believe that there is no difference between cheap and expensive mattresses except a name, and some swear by only the most expensive brands. In the end it is a matter of personal preference and budget. After all, buying a bed is a decision you are allowed to sleep on.
