How to Choose a Mattress

Finding Your Perfect Mattress: A Complete Guide

Choosing the right mattress is one of the most important decisions you can make for your health and wellbeing. We spend approximately one third of our lives in bed, and the quality of our sleep directly affects our energy, mood, and cognitive performance throughout the day.

1. Understand Your Sleep Position

Your sleeping position is the single most important factor when selecting a mattress firmness. Side sleepers typically need a medium to soft mattress that allows the shoulders and hips to sink in slightly, keeping the spine in neutral alignment. Back sleepers benefit from a medium-firm surface that supports the natural lumbar curve. Stomach sleepers require a firmer mattress to prevent the lower back from arching uncomfortably.

2. Consider Your Body Weight

Body weight plays a significant role in how a mattress feels and performs. At VARGA, our HR foam range is engineered with variable density zones to accommodate a wide range of body types and weights.

3. Choose the Right Size

As a general rule, your mattress should be at least 10–15 cm longer than your height. For couples, we strongly recommend a King (160x200 cm) or Super King (180x200 cm) to minimise sleep disturbance.

4. Match Your Mattress to Your Bed Frame

A quality slatted bed base improves ventilation, extends mattress lifespan, and enhances support. Ensure slat spacing does not exceed 7 cm for foam mattresses. All VARGA bed frames are engineered to work in harmony with our mattress range.

5. Trial Period and Warranty

We offer a 30-night comfort trial on all mattresses and a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee for complete peace of mind. Contact our sleep consultants at varga@vargacapital.co.uk — we are happy to help.
