Sleep Mattresses

At Candia, we offer specialized mattress categories that are fully dedicated to one of these two technologies, ensuring every sleep need is covered. The main difference lies in the way the springs function:

Orthopedic Mattresses: Feature interconnected springs. They are generally firmer and designed to provide stable support, keeping the spine aligned in a straight position.

Ergonomic Mattresses: Use independently operating springs (Pocket Springs), allowing only the pressured areas to sink in. This makes the mattress more flexible, better able to follow the body’s natural curves, while also ensuring that one person’s movements are not felt by the other sleeper.

When choosing a mattress for a double bed, motion isolation is the key factor. Mattresses with independent Pocket Springs are the ideal solution for uninterrupted sleep, ensuring that one partner’s movements do not disturb the other.

At the same time, selecting the right mattress size is equally important:

Standard Size: Today, the most common choice for a double bed is 160x200 cm.

Greater Comfort: If your bedroom space allows it, larger dimensions such as 180x200 cm are recommended for even greater freedom of movement and comfort.

Replacing a mattress is not determined by a universal rule, but by the combination of its construction quality and your body’s changing needs.

To determine whether your mattress needs replacing, consider the following:

Condition Assessment: Check whether the mattress shows signs of sagging or no longer performs the way it did when new. Its lifespan is directly connected to the manufacturer’s warranty — for example, a mattress with a 3-year warranty will typically show wear much sooner than a premium-quality model.

Hygiene Factors: Dust and microorganisms naturally accumulate over time, making replacement important for maintaining a healthy sleep environment. To keep your mattress cleaner for longer, always use a high-quality mattress protector.

Changing Physical Needs: Our bodies evolve over time. Changes in body weight, the growth of children or teenagers, and the development of back or neck issues may require a new mattress to ensure proper support and overall wellbeing.

Sleep quality depends directly on the microclimate created on the mattress surface. At CANDIA, we place special emphasis on the materials that come into contact with your body.

Cotton Top Pad: All mattresses from the Inventor Collection, as well as the Phaistos and Preveli, feature a special layer of 100% natural cotton beneath the fabric. Cotton acts as a natural temperature regulator, allowing the body to breathe properly while absorbing excess moisture.

Advanced Fabric Properties: We use high-performance fabrics made from natural fibers such as Viscose, Tencel, Bamboo, and Cotton. These materials offer exceptional softness, natural antibacterial properties, and continuous freshness while preventing overheating during the night.

The combination of these materials provides optimal temperature regulation for a deeper and healthier sleep experience.

There are several clear signs that indicate your mattress no longer provides proper support:

Physical Discomfort: You frequently wake up with lower back or neck pain that gradually improves during the day.

Visible Wear: You notice sagging areas on the surface or can feel the pressure of the springs against your body.

Reduced Sleep Quality: You feel less rested, or you notice that your sleep improves significantly when sleeping elsewhere, such as in a hotel bed.

If you notice any of the above signs, then it is the right time to replace your mattress. For more indications that reveal signs of wear and tear, you can read the related tips on our blog.

Choosing the right mattress is a highly personal decision. Although some models offer greater versatility, your body type and sleeping position (side, back, or stomach sleeping) remain the most important factors in ensuring proper support.

At CANDIA, we offer a wide variety of mattress technologies and materials to suit every need. To discover which model best matches your sleep style, we recommend using our Ideal mattress selection system, designed to guide you toward the perfect choice.

Testing a mattress is the most important step in making the right choice.

We recommend visiting a Candia store and taking the time to lie down and experience the feel of different models. Your personal comfort and body response are the only reliable methods for choosing the ideal mattress, complementing any online research you may have done.

At CANDIA, our philosophy is that every person is unique, which is why we offer sleep products designed to meet every individual need.

There is no “one mattress fits all” solution  only the ideal mattress for your own anatomy.

Our wide range of collections ensures that: every body receives the right support, regardless of body type. You can choose the comfort feel that suits you best (firmer or softer) without compromising spinal support. We cover every unique requirement through personalized sleep systems that deliver complete comfort and rejuvenation.

At CANDIA, we offer a wide range of mattresses, with different models recommended for different sleeping positions to ensure ideal support in every case.

Since your sleeping position (side, back, or stomach) is the determining factor in mattress selection, we provide specialized mattresses tailored to your body’s needs.

To keep your mattress in excellent condition for years:

Ventilation: No daily effort is required. Whenever you change your bed sheets (ideally once a week), simply leave the mattress uncovered for a short time to air naturally.

Rotation: For even wear of the materials, we recommend rotating your Candia mattress (top-to-bottom and head-to-foot) every 3–6 months.

Note: If you own a mattress with an integrated topper (such as Knossos, Keramos, Phaistos, or Assos), the two sides provide different comfort sensations. If you prefer a specific side, simply rotate the mattress clockwise every 6 months.

Protection: Using a mattress protector is essential. For maximum hygiene and protection, we recommend a waterproof cover combined with a second specialized protector that enhances overall sleep comfort. Speak with a Candia Sleep Expert to find the ideal combination for your needs.

Cleaning: Candia does not recommend using vacuum cleaners or chemical cleaning products, as improper use may damage the materials. A high-quality mattress protector is sufficient to keep the mattress clean.

Avoid Jumping: While mattresses may seem like a fun trampoline for children, excessive jumping can permanently damage the structure and springs. Proper use guarantees long-lasting durability.
