The right time to buy a new mattress

Swissflex mattresses offer a good durability and maximum comfort for a long time. However, the precise "lifespan" of a mattress depends on how it is used and cared for. In a guest bed, which is only being used occasionally, you will probably be able to hold onto the mattress much longer than in your own bed, where you spend every night. If you notice that you are not sleeping restfully anymore or the comfort is not what it used to be, you should think about buying a new mattress. When the mattress is visibly worn out it is high time for a change. In this case, the lying surface has lost its support and adaptability. In addition to the lying comfort, you should consider another factor: hygiene. As a guideline, it is recommended to replace your mattress after eight years at the latest. Everyone breaks a sweat during sleep, albeit to varying degrees. And that leaves traces on your mattress over the years. Even the mattress cover and the bed sheets cannot keep the mattress core clean forever. Therefore, the time for a new mattress comes sooner or later.  

Buying mattresses online

Buying mattresses online has one advantage in particular: it is convenient. You do not have to drive from store to store, instead you can comfortably search for a new mattress while sitting on the couch. In general, however, there is also a big disadvantage to buying mattresses online: you cannot test the mattresses or get the advice of a specialist. Testing the various mattresses is important, though, in order to find the right fit. Especially firmness and comfort are perceived differently from person to person and should therefore be tried before buying a new mattress. For those who already know what they want or need, the option to buy mattresses online can certainly be interesting. If, on the other hand, you are still undecided, you can first find out online about the types of mattresses, firmness degrees and so on. On the Swissflex homepage you can find the entire mattress range and familiarize yourself with the models. This way, you can ask your local retailer directly about your mattress favorites and make your choice by trying them out on site.

Buying mattresses from a specialist dealer

Many people still prefer buying a new mattress from a local specialist retailer, because it simply gives you a good feeling. On the Swissflex homepage you can find a dealer near you and even make an appointment for a consultation. The advantage of buying your mattress from a dealer: you get a large selection of high-quality mattresses and individual advice. The local specialists can recommend a mattress tailored to your sleeping needs and are familiar with the material, comfort properties and mattress covers. This way, you do not have to search for all this information online yourself. After all, the offer online is huge and can quickly become overwhelming. At your local retailer, you can take advantage of the experts' knowledge and ask your questions directly. The biggest advantage: you can try out the mattresses, experience the comfort personally and feel the material.

How to prepare for the mattress purchase

Whether you buy your new mattress online or at the store, it is always a good idea to prepare for the mattress purchase. First, think about what you expect from the new mattress and what should be different from or identical to your old mattress. Was your old mattress too firm or too soft? Do you want more comfort in the shoulder area? Would you like the new mattress to be especially breathable? Write down your criteria for the perfect mattress. Since there are mattresses with different degrees of firmness, consider beforehand whether you prefer the lying surface to be soft or firm or somewhere in between. Please note: The firmness levels of mattresses are not standardized, so that "firm", for example, does not feel the same with all manufacturers. Therefore, it is essential to try the mattresses yourself! With your list of important criteria, you can then search online or ask your specialist retailer for suitable models. This way, you will soon be enjoying heavenly comfort again!
