How to choose a mattress: buying guide

Choosing the right mattress is a delicate and important activity on which your wellbeing during sleep depends.

The ideal bed system, which in addition to the mattress also includes the anatomical support and the pillow, must be considered on the basis of the person's specific needs: everyone in fact has particular characteristics and needs that must be carefully evaluated to guarantee a healthy and regenerating rest.

In order to choose the most suitable mattress, one must start from a series of questions, concerning, for example, weight, height, body temperature during sleep, the number of people (or animals!) that will occupy the surface, any nocturnal pain or discomfort, allergies to materials, and so on.

However, even before these questions, it is appropriate to ask oneself a fundamental question: why do you want to change a mattress? Considering the bed system you are coming from and identifying the pros and cons of the mattress you are using is a fundamental step in understanding what you want and how to improve your sleeping comfort.

The Dorsal guide to choosing the ideal mattress

To help customers select the perfect bed system, Dorsal has designed a guide to buying mattresses and bed frames, focusing on the person and his or her need to be able to find the product best suited to his or her needs, quickly and easily, directly online.

Thanks to the vastness and completeness of the solutions in the Dorsal catalogue (with over 1000 combinations available), to the indications given by the user and to the refined data analysis algorithm, the purchasing guide ensures a highly profiled and reliable result and provides useful advice for choosing a mattress.

For those who prefer to flank the online guide with a more ‘traditional’ consultancy, Dorsal dealers are always available: these professionals are trained with specific training and, thanks to their expertise, are able to suggest the right product to each customer.

Single, couple or child: to each his own

The Dorsal mattresses and bed frames buying guide does not simply propose products in a generic way, but selects them according to the user's needs. The first step in the guide immediately distinguishes whether the request concerns a single person, a couple or a child.

For each of these categories an ad hoc path is designed with specific questions to ensure that the best possible solution is found.

Beyond the usual buying guides…

In addition to the customer's physical characteristics, Dorsal also assesses other elements that play an important role when choosing a new mattress. There are those who are keen on technology and are always looking for something new, those who feel close to nature and prefer organic materials and fabrics, or those who are looking for a more traditional system.

For each of these profiles there is the Dorsal bed system that indulges their specific passions and guarantees high levels of comfort and ergonomics.
