We spend a large portion of our lives sleeping, and getting good sleep contributes to our physical and mental health. Choose a grounding mattress to help improve sleep, avoid back or neck pain, and reduce stress. Carico designs health and wellness products, including mattresses, to help people live healthier lives. Here are a few features that make a high-quality mattress:
1. Durability
Mattresses see a high amount of use and degrade in quality over time. A premium mattress should have a decent life expectancy and won’t need to be replaced as quickly. Durability is determined by several factors, including the construction, material, and even your sleeping position. Innerspring mattresses can be prone to sagging faster than memory foam or latex foam.
2. Breathability
A high-quality mattress will feature good air flow and breathability. This is referred to as temperature neutrality — heat isn’t trapped in the mattress, so the surface doesn’t get too warm and uncomfortable. Mattresses with good airflow can also help make breathing easier by preventing the buildup of dust mites and odors on the sleeping surface. Breathability is determined by the surface material, air channels incorporated in the mattress, and the quality of the materials used. Carico’s Ultra Tech Collection Sleep System features a grounding mattresswith breathable foam and the ability to adapt to your shape.
3. Construction
There are different ways to construct a mattress, with options for different sleeping positions and comfort levels. A high-quality mattress should support your back and keep the spine aligned. Some mattresses construction methods include:
- Innerspring: A traditional construction that uses coiled springs for support and is often layered with foam for comfort.
- Memory foam: Uses a high-density foam to mold to your body contours and provide pressure relief.
- Latex: Flexible layers of foam that are naturally bouncy and provide firmer support.
- Hybrid: Two different mattress structures, usually coils and memory foam, create a balance of support and contouring.
4. Comfort
Deciding if a mattress is comfortable can come down to personal preference, but comfort may include the level of firmness and adjustability. A mattress that contours your unique body shape may support your body better, resulting in elevated comfort. Adjustable mattress, such as the 4-in-1 system from Carico, allows you to customize your comfort level even more.
Evaluate which construction works for you by laying on it for several minutes to see if it gives you any discomfort. You can also perform the “edge test” to determine if the edge sags too much when you sit on it. A high-quality mattress, no matter how soft in the middle, should have strong edges to keep you and the mattress materials encased.
5. Material
High-quality mattress materials can provide support and affect its breathability and durability. Choosing one with the right material often comes down to personal preference. Mattress layers may also include cotton, wool, gel, or silk. Carico Ultra Tech mattresses have up to twelve layers to create a comfortable surface for a good night’s sleep.
