Testing and selecting a new mattress
- The mattress that can give you a good night's sleep must be 80 cm wide for a single bed, 140 cm wide for a double bed and at least 10 cm longer than your own height.
- It is not enough to just sit on a mattress or press your hand against its edge in order to try it.
-
You need to lie on the mattress for at least 5 minutes, with your eyes closed – in other words: assume the normal sleeping position.
- Check if the mattress is as firm as you would like it to be.
Here is a proven way to check: When you lie on the mattress put your hand in the opening between the small of your back and the mattress. If your hand goes in freely, then the mattress is on the hard side. - If you find it difficult to squeeze your hand in, then you must be lying on a softer mattress..
- Try to learn as much as you can about the quality of materials used in the mattress.
- It is always better to pay a little bit еxtra to secure a pleasant and healthy rest.

The mattress must be installed on a properly fixed support frame.
Having consulted the instructions on the label, position the mattress with the correct (summer or winter) side facing up.

With the change of seasons and having consulted the instructions on the label, position the mattress with the correct (summer or winter) side facing up.
