What Mattress is Best For Me?

Perhaps you’re fed up with getting a poor night’s sleep and think your mattress may be the problem. Or it might have been a few years since you invested in a new one and the time has come around again to find the perfect mattress for you. Whatever your reasons, it’s always going to be an important purchase. Finding a saving on a good quality mattress brand is also an excellent excuse to place a new order and right now we have an Argos discount code that can get you an extra 20% off their range of Silentnight beds and mattresses. But instead of picking up an impulse buy, take a little time to work out the best type of mattress for you. We’ve highlighted a few common problems that are often taken into account, a few suggestions for products, and a few tips on how you might narrow down your search…

How Often Should You Change Your Mattress?

The Sleep Council recommends you should change your mattress once every 7 years in order to ensure you really are getting the best night’s sleep. They highlight that even though your mattress might still look like it’s in good condition, it may no longer be offering you the best support. Add the general hygiene of an older mattress into the equation and you might start to see why a replacement is a good idea all-round. So if you are coming up to that 7 year mark (or indeed, have gone well past it), where do you go from here?

The Best Mattresses for Back Pain

Probably the most common of all sleep problems, putting up with back pain can be made considerably worse if an uncomfortable mattress is involved. So if you suffer with this issue, then investing in a mattress that helps is going to be your main priority. Slientnight mattresses provide zoned support, which means there is extra support for your hips and shoulders. And they have a number of systems to choose from including Miracoil and Mirapocket mattresses depending on whether you’d prefer a pocket sprung mattress or not. They also use a comfort filling called Geltex that is designed to ‘bounce back’ if you move in your sleep, as well as offer pressure relief where you need it.

When it comes to back pain, one of the most important choices you have to make is how firm you want your mattress to be. As a general rule, a firmer mattress is recommended if you sleep on your back, whereas medium support is better if you are a side sleeper. Luckily, Silentnight have a large range of supportive mattresses to choose from depending on your preference. If you’d like to take advantage of our Argos discount code to save money on one of them, we have a couple of suggestions – the Silentnight Geltex Comfort Sprung Ortho Mattress (available in double and king size) or the Silentnight Miracoil Travis Memory Foam Mattress (available in most sizes). But please do explore all their orthopaedic options to ensure you’re getting the best fit for you.

The Best Hypoallergenic Mattress

If you suffer from allergies, then you’ll be pleased to hear that you’re catered for, whichever Silentnight mattress you choose. This is because they use a probiotic called Purotex on their fabrics. This is 100% natural and gets rid of dust mites while you sleep by releasing friendly bacteria. If you select a mattress from the Argos Silentnight page, you will see its anti-allergy properties are listed in the product description.

What About Restless Sleepers?

But what if your main sleeping problem isn’t a problem of yours at all? What if you have trouble sleeping because your partner isn’t exactly the most restful bedtime companion? Or maybe it’s you that keeps your partner awake! As well as looking into specific reasons why you or your partner are restless sleepers (Restless Legs Syndrome, for example), one of the more obvious solutions is to give yourselves a bit more space. A double bed gives two individuals very little wiggle room, so perhaps now is the time to upgrade to a king size. If you do have to the space to accommodate a larger bed, our Argos discount code can get you 20% off divans as well as mattresses, including the very good value Silentnight Hatfield Memory Divan.

This Argos discount code is only available to use until 24th September 2019, so why not look into replacing your kids’ mattresses too and save even more? And if you want to go the whole hog, they also have some great value bedding available for a complete bedroom. We’ve also put together some great interior design tips if you want to tackle another room of the house too.
