How to choose a mattress that can be custom made
What do we really know about mattresses? Only that a poor quality one or one that's due to be replaced can give you the worst nights sleep. There is alot to think about, custom made to any shape or size, making sure you get the support and not giving up on the comfort.
A large percentage of custom made mattresses use the spring system, so you want to make sure they are built using a very supportive bonnell spring system, which includes additional side support springs to ensure total use of the sleeping surface. This also becomes very important in a caravan, motorhome or boat where you may sit on the edge of the bed more than you would at home.
This supportive spring unit is then top dressed with responsive surface materials, either urethane foam or in the case of top of the range mattresses, latex rubber is sometimes used.
Mattresses made at 'Made to Measure Mattresses' do not contain any felt pads or cotton wadding as these products inhibit the ventilation of the mattress, promote increased dustmite activity and do nothing for the comfort of the user. Felt also increases the weight of the mattress.
It is important to note that it is more expensive to manufacture a soft surface mattress than a firm one, because the softer materials have to be of much higher quality in order to remember to return to their original form throughout the life of the mattress (e.g. no roll together).
Made to Measure Mattresses are available in either a four inch springs or six inch springs. (Unless advised otherwise, we will use six inch springs). The four inch spring allows the height of the mattress to be reduced to fit into height restricted areas but without losing any of the comfort.
We also provide the option of only padding the mattress on one side which again lowers the overall height of the mattress. Our lower profile mattresses have been specifically designed to suit camper trailers, over the cab beds, beds that push up into the roof of the vehicle (being lighter in weight this will not affect the ability of gas struts) and beds where a normal mattress would be above the height of the window. The lowest overall height of a mattress available with Made to Measure Mattresses is 140mm or 5.5 inches.
If you are thinking of heading away this year think about the state of your current mattress in your boat, caravan, motorhome or any mattress at home come to think of it. To find out more about what type of mattress you should be sleeping on speak to the experts www.madetomeasuremattresses.com.au
