Why buying your mattress in Warrnambool beats buying online

Buying a mattress is personal. Lying on the bed, asking questions, and comparing models side by side often leads to a better choice than guessing from a screen. When you shop locally you can:

• Test the feel properly: Spend a few minutes in your normal sleep position. Notice pressure points and support through your lower back and hips.
• Get tailored guidance: Our team listens first, then points you to options that fit your body type, sleep style, and budget.
• Sort delivery with ease: We help arrange local delivery at a time that works for you.
• Support local jobs: Your purchase keeps money in Warrnambool and strengthens community services.

Mattress firmness guide for comfort and support

The right firmness keeps your spine aligned while relieving pressure. Use this as a starting point, then fine-tune in store:

• Soft: Best for side sleepers who want a plush, contouring surface. Look for strong pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
• Medium: A balanced option for most sleepers and couples with different preferences. Offers cushioning without losing support.
• Firm: Suits many back and some stomach sleepers who need extra lift to prevent the lower back from dipping.

How to test firmness in store

• Lie in your usual position for at least three minutes.
• Slide a hand under your lower back. If there’s a big gap, it may be too firm. If it’s hard to get your hand in, it may be too soft.
• Roll to your side. Your spine should look straight from neck to tailbone.
• If you share the bed, test motion transfer by changing positions while your partner lies still.

Signs it’s time to replace your mattress

Even a quality mattress won’t last forever. Consider upgrading when one or more of these show up:

• New aches on waking: Stiff neck, sore shoulders, or lower back twinges that weren’t there before.
• Visible wear: Sagging, lumps, or a body-shaped dip.
• Age and changing needs: Around the 7–10 year mark, or when your body, health, or sleep habits have changed.
• Sleeping better elsewhere: If hotel beds or a mate’s spare room feel better than home, it’s a clue.

Simple care tips to make your mattress last

Good care keeps comfort and support consistent:

• Rotate regularly: Quarter-turn every 2–3 months, unless the label says otherwise.
• Use a quality protector: Helps with spills, sweat, and dust, and can support warranty conditions.
• Let it breathe: Air the bed during the day and allow airflow under the base.
• Support it well: Pair with a suitable base or frame to avoid sagging and squeaks.

Quick FAQs

What firmness should couples choose?
Medium often suits most couples. If preferences differ, consider a model with zoning or split feels.

Are softer mattresses bad for your back?
Not necessarily. Side sleepers often need softer top layers for pressure relief. The key is having enough underlying support to keep your spine aligned.

How long should a mattress last?
Usage varies, but many people find 7–10 years is a useful guide. If comfort or support drops sooner, upgrade sooner.

Do I need a mattress protector?
Yes. It helps hygiene, reduces stains, and may help with warranty conditions.
