DISMANTLING THE MYTH OF THE LUXURY MATTRESS
When it comes to buying a new mattress, you will be faced with a wide range of different prices. But which one is the most luxurious?
Many people assume that less expensive mattresses are of poor quality and if they buy at higher prices, they automatically get a better bed. However, this is a common mistake. Price correlates with quality to some extent, but inexpensive mattresses can also be luxurious.
When buying a quality mattress, the more you know, the better equipped you will be to make the right decision and be satisfied. Here are 8 myths about mattresses to help you uncover the truth about luxury mattresses. Join us in debunking the myth of the luxury mattress.
What does it mean to have a luxury mattress?
First of all, what is a luxury mattress? "Luxury" is a term that means something different for everyone. When it comes to beds, a luxury mattress should improve the quality of your sleep, improve comfort and support levels, and make you wake up feeling refreshed without those pesky aches and pains. A luxury mattress isn't just about being expensive, it also comes down to the feel, fabrics, and construction. It should be precisely crafted and made from high-end materials with thick layers of comfort.
Myth No. # 1: Quickly Made Mattresses Are Of Lower Quality
An efficiently manufactured mattress is believed to be of lower quality than a mattress manufactured over a longer period of time. When you buy a mattress from a manufacturer committed to quality, you get a mattress that has been padded, tufted, and handcrafted. Although machines may be involved in parts of the process, you have a trained craftsman overseeing the manufacture of the mattress.
Factory direct mattress retailers like Memory Foam Warehouse are able to offer consumers a lower price than a traditional mattress store because they are cutting out the middleman. This means that you can still get a good mattress at a lower cost!
Myth # 2: Cheap mattresses have substandard materials.
In fact, there are many cheap mattresses that are made from low-quality and poor-quality materials, but just because a mattress costs less does not mean that it is low-quality and cheap. It is important to find out what materials are used to make the mattress, the density of the foam or how many springs the mattress has, before deciding on quality.
Myth No. 3: expensive mattresses help improve sleep
The reason you want dense foam, lots of springs, and other quality materials, is because these items can enhance your night's sleep. On an uncomfortable mattress, you are unlikely to get the support you need while you sleep. In some cases, cheaper materials can cause joint pain and pressure point pain and are more likely to harbor allergens like dust mites. However, this does not mean that you have to pay extra if you want a good quality mattress and a deep, healthy night's sleep.
Myth No. # 4: brand name mattresses are of higher quality
While many of the industry giants have established brands and reputations, they don't necessarily produce higher quality beds than smaller manufacturers and are often unclear on mattress specifications to increase profits. We recommend checking actual reviews to see what consumers are saying rather than relying on brand reputation.
Myth No. 5: higher prices mean a better bed
When it comes to products, it's easy to believe that the more expensive something is, the better it will be. But this is simply a myth. Some brands are arbitrarily expensive, with a high price attached, but their products are made from cheaper materials. It's not always a brand's top-of-the-line mattress that suits you best - when shopping for beds, look at the big picture and consider comfort rather than prestige.
Myth # 6: All memory foam mattresses sleep warm.
If you have heard that you will wake up drenched in sweat on a memory foam mattress, this is not necessarily true. How warm a memory foam mattress will feel depends on a few things, so if heat is an issue for you, look for open cell, medium or low density memory foam, and foams with temperature neutral properties.

The breathable fibers that make up the CoolMax fabric disperse moisture to keep skin cool and dry throughout the night. Ideal for those who wake up feeling flushed and flushed.
Myth No. # 7: mattresses need to be turned regularly to maintain their shape
Modern mattresses are designed in such a way that it is no longer necessary to flip a mattress. They shouldn't sag, leave a body impression, or lose their shape for many years, regardless of which side you sleep on. Anyway, most mattresses only have a usable sleeping surface these days, so flipping them over isn't an option.
However, rotating your mattress is never a bad idea, especially if you share your bed with a partner. Turning the mattress from one end to the other can help it wear more evenly, offer support and relief from pressure points, and keep you both sleeping soundly for longer.
Myth No. 8: you should replace your mattress every 8 years
The Better Sleep Council recommends replacing your mattress every 7-10 years, depending on comfort, support, and wear. But how do you know if a mattress is worn? The truth is that the useful life of a mattress varies a lot, depending on the following;
Materials used and if they fit your weight
If there is a mattress topper or pillow cover
How you take care of your mattress
How You Sleep In It: Your Favorite Sleeping Positions And How Often You Move During The Night
The firmness of your mattress
How often do you break it
A supportive mattress can provide better and healthier sleep. You'll know when it's time to change your mattress based on how refreshed you feel when you wake up.
