Why is choosing the right mattress so important?

The right mattress gives you:

  • Proper support: prevents back and neck problems by supporting your body correctly.
  • Better pressure relief: relieves pressure points at your shoulders, hips and back.
  • Comfort and ventilation: keeps your sleeping environment fresh without overheating.
  • Lasting quality: improves your sleep for many years.

With this in mind, we help you make the right choice below.

Which factors decide your choice?

When choosing a mattress, there are a few important factors to consider:

  1. Sleeping position:
    • Side sleepers: choose a mattress with good pressure relief, such as the Souplesse Visco or Quartz Stable Visco.
    • Back sleepers: a mattress with firm support, such as the Neo Everlife or Quartz Stable HR, is ideal.
    • Stomach sleepers: benefit from extra firmness, such as the Souplesse Solid offers.
  1. Body weight:
    • Lighter people (under 70 kg) are better off with softer mattresses, such as the Souplesse Dynamic or Zen Everlife (medium).
    • Heavier people (over 90 kg) need more support, such as the Quartz Active HR or Neo Everlife (firm) provides.
  1. Specific needs:
    • Back problems: consider memory foam mattresses such as the Souplesse Visco.
    • Hot sleepers: choose well-ventilated options such as the Quartz Stable Latex or Elite HR.
    • Eco-conscious: mattresses such as the Zen Everlife are made from recycled materials.

Mattress types at a glance

Here is a detailed explanation of each type of mattress, so you know exactly what to expect.

1. Pocket sprung mattresses

Many of our pocket sprung mattresses have a layer of cold foam. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: excellent support from the pocket springs, plus extra comfort and ventilation from the cold foam. Cold foam reduces dipping and keeps the sleeping climate fresh for longer.

Pocket sprung mattresses contain hundreds of individually wrapped springs that move independently of each other. This gives you:

  • Proper support: pocket springs adapt to the shape of your body and give targeted support.
  • Good ventilation: thanks to their open structure, these mattresses stay cool and fresh.

Ideal for:

  • Side and back sleepers looking for good support and durability.
  • Sleepers who tend to get hot at night.

Recommended mattresses:

  • King Micropocket: compact springs for targeted support.
  • Quartz Stable HR: for anyone who wants firmness and well-ventilated cold foam.
  • Neo Everlife: affordable quality with a cold foam layer for extra comfort.

2. Memory foam mattresses

Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, reacts to body heat and moulds itself to the contours of your body. This gives you:

  • Pressure relief: ideal for people with joint or muscle problems.
  • A cocooning feel: your body is, as it were, enveloped by the foam.

Ideal for:

  • People with back problems or sensitive joints.
  • Side and back sleepers looking for extra comfort.

Recommended mattresses:

  • Souplesse Visco: combines memory foam with pocket springs for superb support.
  • Quartz Stable Visco: orthopaedic comfort with pressure relief.
  • Topper 247 Visco: perfect as an upgrade for your current mattress.

  • Breathes well: prevents moisture build-up and keeps the mattress fresh.
  • Is durable: reduces dipping and keeps its shape.

Ideal for:

  • Hot sleepers looking for good ventilation.
  • People looking for a firm, supportive surface.

Recommended mattresses:

  • Elite HR: premium cold foam with excellent ventilation.
  • Souplesse Solid: for sleepers who like a firm feel.
