Mattress ''the most important bedroom design decision''
18/05/2011
Choosing the right mattress is the most crucial element of redesigning a bedroom, one expert believes.
Although getting the wall colour and floor covering right is important, a mattress will ultimately determine how well a person is able to sleep, explained David Schaefer, owner and president of Urban Essentials.
He told Clarendon Patch: "Since sleep is so important to everyone, getting good sleep is essential.
"After the mattress, I would say the style of your bedroom should really be what feels comfortable for you."
Mr Schaefer highlighted that a mattress is ultimately the foundation for building a better bed, so getting this wrong could have some serious implications.
People often find that they know when it is time for a new mattress, as their body starts to ache and they wake up with pains that they are not used to.
Although experts recommend a replacement should be purchased every eight to ten years, this approach will not suit everybody.
