Sleep affects our daily energy, mood, ability to concentrate and overall mental and physical well-being. Adequate and deep sleep strengthens the immune system, reduces stress and contributes significantly to the cognitive function of the brain, i.e. memory, thinking and decision-making.
Choosing the right mattress is an investment in your health. A good mattress can last you for 10 years, offering you comfort, proper support, and essential restoration of body and mind every night.
Sleep is not a luxury, but a basic requirement for living better. By investing in your sleep, you perform at your best during the day. In this guide, we have gathered everything you need to know and take into account, to make the best choice for you!
Mattress Selection: How to find the one that suits you!
There are specific evaluation criteria that determine whether a mattress is ideal for you or not, such as:
- The Body Type
- The Sleeping Position
For all of the above, CANDIA has developed the ideal mattress finding system, an innovative platform where, using a sensor system that records the pressures exerted by a body on a mattress, all possible sleeping positions, all body types based on weight, height, gender have been the subject of research and have been utilized for the development of mattresses that meet every need. Based on these findings, CANDIA has developed the Ideal Mattress Finding service (https://idanikostroma.candia.gr/en).
5 common mistakes before buying
-Choosing a mattress based on price and not on our needs. Your mattress is what will relieve you from a tiring day and will rest you to wake up with energy and a good mood to take on the next day. This happens when you use a quality mattress, which properly supports your spine, keeping it in a straight line, while at the same time the comfort materials hug your body, absorbing the pressure created at the contact points. The ideal mattress for you will make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud and will give you a sweet sleep every night. As you will use it every night, you will be grateful for the gift you have given yourself. Of course, don't forget that there are opportunities to acquire a mattress at a very good price throughout the year, such as during Winter or Summer Sales, where you can plan your next mattress purchase (e.g. Summer Sales).
-The choice is made in a hurry, because time is pressing. We know how difficult it is to choose the mattress that really suits you, the one that will rest you and refresh you every night, among countless options and brands. That is why we urge visitors to CANDIA stores to really spend time trying out a mattress and to try the mattresses in the position they usually sleep in. Buying a mattress is very important since we spend 1/3 of our lives on it.
-Choosing a mattress without accompanying products. Many people believe that buying a new mattress is enough to get quality sleep. However, in addition to a mattress, you also use pillows every day. Have you thought about what they are used for? Pillows work with your mattress to effectively support the spine, at the height of the neck. When choosing a mattress, it is the ideal opportunity to try which pillow will work ideally with your mattress to offer you the ultimate rest. In addition, don't forget the protector, to maintain hygiene. With the ideal sleep products you will achieve the maximum desired result.
-The base on which the mattress will be placed is not taken into account. The base of the bed affects the final feeling that it leaves you with on the mattress. A single, stable base contributes to a better adaptation of the springs to the body compared to a base with boards. Since you are entering the process of changing your mattress, think about whether it is time to change your bed and give a breath of fresh air to the bedroom.
-You think you won't need the warranty. This is something you really can't know in advance. Since you're about to make a major purchase, ideally you should know what it covers and how you can take advantage of it if needed. Don't hesitate to ask what the warranty covers and how long it will be active after the purchase. As we said, buying a mattress is an INVESTMENT!
