A good night's sleep comes very few and far between in my household these days and while awake at 2am the other night, I wondered if their were any secrets to getting some much coveted beauty sleep.

So I sought out Naveen Bhavanishankar, owner of in-fusions, for some tips. Since the mattress is one of the most important factors to stopping the tossing and turning, Naveen shared his expert advice on the top five questions and tips to keep in mind when choosing the right mattress.

1. Does the mattress conform to your spine's natural curve, keep your spine aligned when you are in bed and distribute pressure evenly across your body?

2. Is there edge support around the perimeter of the mattress? This will usually be a heavy gauge border wire that will provide increased comfort and support from edge-to-edge. If the answer to these questions is 'yes' then your mattress will help circulation, decrease disturbance from body movement and enhance the quality of your sleep.

3. Always Replace the Foundation – You may be considering only replacing a mattress and keeping your old foundation to save money. Don’t! An old foundation will negatively impact the feel and durability of the new mattress and may void your warranty.

4. Size Matters – Considering that most people sleep better when a partner isn’t crowding them, you should buy the largest size mattress that fits your bedroom and your budget. See our mattress size page for more information. Make sure you have room to stretch out. Whether the mattress is a twin, a full, a queen or a king, you'll know if it's spacious enough if you don't feel like you are being crowded.

5. Beware of Bargains – Bargain sleep sets are no bargain if they result in a poor night's sleep. Don't just shop for the lowest price. You’ll be sorry. A few more hundred, if you can swing it, will make a huge difference. Remember, you spend one-third of your life on a mattress.

Naturally, the right mattress should be covered with the best bedding, see all that in-fusions has to offer at www.in-fusions.com.
