While creating a restful sanctuary is important, you\u2019re never going to get a good night\u2019s sleep on a crummy mattress.<\/p>\n<h2>When to change your mattress<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing when you need to change your mattress can be tricky, so here are our best tips.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Comfort<\/strong> \u2013 Inner springs digging into your back, bumpy bits, or trouble getting comfortable are a sign you need to replace your mattress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support<\/strong> \u2013 A mattress that sags, has visible dips and isn\u2019t offering you proper support, is a sign it\u2019s time to go shopping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise<\/strong> \u2013 If your mattress creaks when you roll over then it\u2019s time to spring into action and get new one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smell<\/strong> \u2013 Does your mattress smell funny? Time to spruce things up with a new one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the right mattress<\/h2>\n<p>So, you\u2019ve decided to invest in a new mattress. Hooray! A better night\u2019s sleep isn\u2019t far away \u2014 but only if you choose the right one.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing the right mattress, there are a number of things to consider. Here are our top tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong> \u2014 This is probably the most obvious, but what size do you need? If it\u2019s for a teenager, you might want to consider upgrading to a larger mattress like a king single or even a queen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bedframe<\/strong> \u2014 Will the mattress sit on an existing bed frame, or do you want to upgrade to an ensemble base?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support<\/strong> \u2014 What level of support do you need? If you have musculoskeletal issues, you\u2019ll need to ensure your mattress offers appropriate support. If you\u2019re looking for a mattress that offers heavy-duty support (for people with weight issues), then a <a href=\"http:\/\/bedguard.com.au\/getting-bottom-bariatric-mattresses\/\">bariatric mattress<\/a> is the way to go. These mattresses are also used for people who are bedridden, as they support greater weight without compression, therefore reducing the risk of bedsores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproofing<\/strong> \u2014 Will you require a waterproof mattress? These can be very handy when toilet-training children, or for adults with incontinence issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do you sleep?<\/strong> \u2014 The way you sleep will have an impact on the type of mattress you need. For example, side-sleepers usually prefer a softer mattress than those who sleep on their stomach or back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The right mattress for you<\/h2>\n<p>At BedGuard, we have a range of quality waterproof mattresses to suit everyone \u2014 from the very young, to the not-so-young. We also specialise in bariatric mattresses that are super supportive. All of our mattresses are antibacterial, hypo-allergenic, stain resistant, odour resistant and dust mite resistant, giving your mattress a longer life span.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, we\u2019re on hand to answer any questions you may have to ensure you choose the right mattress for your needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bedguard.com.au\/shop\/\">Browse our range<\/a> today and take the first steps to a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven\u2019t been sleeping so well of late you might be wondering if a new mattress will make a difference.
