Don’t Settle for Anything Less than Perfect

Dreamland appreciates that everyone has unique sleep comfort needs, and a mattress that may be comfortable for one person may not suit another. Therefore, before you decide to purchase a mattress, ask yourself the following questions:

  • How long do I want it to last?
  • How comfortable do I wish to be?
  • Who is going to sleep on it?
  • What age is the person?
  • What is the size and weight of the person?
  • Are there any health issues to consider?
  • Consider any partner disturbance issues?

If you find yourself unsure about any of these questions don’t fret, our mattress testing consultants will help make the whole process of finding the right mattress stress-free. Depending on your needs and budget, our specialists can help you find an ideal solution. Even if your budget is tight, the cheapest type of mattress may not necessarily benefit you in the long run, so giving us a call is highly recommended.

What quality of mattress should you invest in?

Young people tend to prefer reasonably hard mattresses. The elderly need firm support with additional comfort layers to cushion their frame. A child’s first mattress should be of superior quality to provide continual benefits until they are well past their teenage years.


Here is the Dreamland guide below on the differences between budget, middle and superior quality mattresses available to purchase at our stores across South Australia.
