Sleeping Tips from South Australia's Best Mattress Professionals

Your body type and age determines the amount of comfort you need. A heavier person generally prefers a firmer mattress, a lighter person needs more comfort to cushion their bones, and the elderly need more comfort and support. Choosing the right mattress helps to avoid back pain and allows the spine to rest and rejuvenate during the night.  Let our consultants fit you to the right mattress.

It may be that your pillow is too hard, too soft, too high or too low. The correct pillow is just as important as sleeping on the right mattress. Dreamland’s consultants encourage you to lie down and try a variety of pillows before you buy. Another one of our great sleeping tips is to keep your pillow clean and fresh with a washable pillow protector. 

It’s the quality of sleep that counts rather than the number of hours we actually sleep for. Good sleep begins with a good mattress, so maybe you’re lying on the problem. Check your mattress for bumps, dips, and sags, and feel if any springs are poking through. If you’re rolling into the middle like a hammock, or feel that your mattress is worn out, then it’s time to invest in a new Dreamland mattress.

Generally, you get what you pay for. Superior comfort, quality support, durability, respected brands, and genuine guarantees will cost you more. Buying a newspaper daily for ten years at $1.40 each time will cost you just over $5,000. Compare that to spending only $1999 on a top-quality queen-size mattress or ensemble that still lasts you ten years. That’s only 55 cents a night! You get to decide what’s more important, your wellbeing and your pocket.

No. You can’t judge a mattress by the number of springs these days. There are so many brands on the market, including Posturepedic, Chiropractic, Miracoil and Pocket Coil that it can seem confusing and overwhelming. 

Latex rubber and memory foam mattresses don’t have any springs in them at all. Each mattress will feel different, so just lie down and try them. A Dreamland consultant will guide you to the brand and model that fits you best.

We’re always getting asked for sleeping tips on how to achieve a healthy bed, especially from the many South Australians who suffer from asthma and allergies. A mattress is a great breeding ground for those little, nasty bed bugs. 

We shed human skin every night, and they just love to eat it. The majority of Dreamland’s mattresses are treated in some way to inhibit their breeding cycle. Also, be sure to use a good quality mattress protector to ensure you are sleeping on the healthiest bed possible.

If you want to have a massage, read a book or simply watch TV while comfortably sitting up in bed, an adjustable bed is a great option. You can elevate the head and knees, which relieves pressure on the lower back, similar to a recliner. Create a contemporary look for your modern home by putting two extra-long single beds together and enjoy the individual control and king size comfort.

The truth is, some people really can. If you think you can sleep on anything and anywhere, try lying on the ground for a few hours to see how uncomfortable you feel. Then try a good supportive and comfortable mattress that looks after the spine, just like a comfortable pair of shoes nurturing your feet.
