Expert tips to nail your mattress purchase right to find comfort and not regret
How to get your purchase right
Research shows that a whopping one in four people suffer from mattress regret.
Leading Australian mattress manufacturer, Macoda, has some strong advice for Aussies on why it is important to pick the right mattress.
According to James Cole, cofounder of Macoda, buying a mattress is a big deal.
"It is a huge investment and we spend a large chuck of our life sleeping on one. Good quality sleep contributes to our health and wellbeing so it is important to get it right," Cole said.
"Most mattresses have a shelf life of about seven years. Once you purchase a mattress and get it home, you are supposed to keep turning it regularly to give areas of the mattress some relief so that it is able to keep providing effective support. In the case of our mattresses, we recommend turning them once a month for the first six months, then once every few months thereafter.
"The problem is that most people don't put enough thought into purchasing a mattress, and we believe they should because a mattress is an important investment."
Based on research, twenty five percent of new mattress buyers are already regretting their purchase within a few weeks.
"It takes a few weeks to settle into a new mattress. Many people find they are either too soft or too hard. Either way, the support mechanism in the bed isn't right for their comfort needs. This is the reason we developed our unique system at Macoda that enables customers to adjust the mattress to their needs," Cole added.
Cole said, it is a big job getting a mattress to someone's home.
"Delivering a mattress is a big job. A good quality queen size mattress can weigh over 50 kilos and trying to get one from a bricks and mortar store to your house, then into your bedroom can be an absolute nightmare. Thankfully, our mattresses are much easier to manage, being compressed and rolled into a box much smaller than a fully 'expanded mattress'," Cole said.
"Even so, getting a 50kg plus bed to a customer on the other side of the country isn't without its challenges. It takes a team of two people to hand deliver and ensure it gets safely to its new home.
"Our third party logistics provider, B dynamic Logistics, does an amazing job getting our mattresses out to our customers quickly and efficiently across the country. It doesn't matter where our customers are located, B dynamic Logistics manages to get our Macoda mattresses to them without any fuss.
"Thankfully our mattresses are so much easier to manage and use than other mattress products.
"Despite how amazing our logistics and delivery company is, pleasingly returns are not something we have to worry about too much. Our customers love our mattresses. We are so sure of our quality that we even offer a 100 night trial money back guarantee.
"Thanks to our unique multi-layer mattress system, our customers can simply unzip their mattress cover and change the layers around to achieve their desired level of sleep comfort.
"Our amazing system of mattress layers means customers can not only tailor the mattress to suit their sleep needs, as their needs change over the years, they can simply swap the layers around to suit.
"It is a great system which has seen us become one of the fastest growing mattress companies in the country selling Australia's most comfortable mattress. We are also Australian owned and our mattresses also come with a 10 year warranty."
Cole has provided some tips on how to pick the right mattress.
. Look for a return guarantee that enables you to return the mattress should the mattress not meet your needs.
. Take your time researching mattress reviews. Reviews are an excellent way to determine the quality and endurance of a product.
. Opt for a mattress that enables you to customise the sleep experience through the adjustment of mattress layers at home. This will ensure you are able to tailor the mattress to your exact needs and future needs as your sleep requirements change.
