How to Select the Perfect Mattress | Half The Woman I Was

Ok, show of hands – who here has bought a mattress before? For those of you who have, it’s a safe assumption that you went to a store and bought it.

Before buying it, you would have tested it for a few minutes – probably doing what we like to call the ‘Infamous Mattress Test’, involving a brief lie down and a raft of uncertainties regarding whether or not to put your feet up and if it’s kosher to lie on your side or linger for more than a minute.

Of course, this is the way it’s always been and we’ve all fallen victim to the Infamous Mattress Test at one stage or another. But is this really the best way to choose a mattress?

Getting a good night’s sleep is vitally important to your health and wellbeing. It improves brain function and allows us to concentrate better on both complex and everyday tasks. However, many people find that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to have a good night’s sleep. So then, how do we improve the quality of our sleep?

That’s where OzMattress comes in. We design and engineer our mattresses to the highest standards. Surprisingly enough, this doesn’t require the large price tag you usually see with high quality mattresses. It’s about a fair go for mattress customers in Australia – something that has been unheard of for too long. Our lower overheads reduce costs but rather than pocketing that money, we take it off the price tag.

We’re so sure about the quality of our mattresses that we don’t want you to test it for just a minute or two in a cavernous, fluorescently lit showroom. Who can be really sure about what their buying after such a short test? No, our mattress tests are far from infamous and are done in the comfort of your own home. You’ve got 100 days to decide. How else would you be sure that something you’re going to spend one third of your life on is right for you? Test it doing what you’re actually going to use it for – I mean, everyone’s different, right? So sleep, snore, snuggle and salivate for 100 days, then you’ll know if you’ve chosen the right mattress.

Naturally, there are some decisions that you’ll have to make beforehand – the size of your mattress is a good place to start. From there, you have two choice of firmness – soft to medium and medium to firm. Why just two? Simple, we didn’t need three… we have the perfect balance with two.

But after all that, who are we exactly? Well, we’re just a group of Aussies based in Melbourne who know what Australians want. We don’t squash or fold our mattresses – they’re delivered right to your door – nay, your room – by our expert delivery men.

And that’s how you choose the perfect mattress.
