FAQ - Frequently asked questions when you choose a mattress
- The general rule is to evaluate replacing your mattress every five to seven years. If you find sagging or lumps, it's time to get a new one. A mattress ready to be replaced can quickly disrupt a good night's sleep.
-
Alongside your new mattress set, the most important item is the bed frame support. The mattress adjusts to its place, so indentations on the mattress are often caused by improper bed frame support. Check all wheels or sliders to ensure they are not damaged. Queen and king mattress warranties require a rigid center support with at least one leg touching the floor in the middle. When in doubt, please be cautious and buy new support for your new mattress set.
- Not necessarily. We don't like to discuss technicalities, but firmness is not the real issue. What everyone needs is the most supportive bed. The feel of the mattress, whether firm, medium, or soft, depends on personal preference (and pressure relief). Ideally, you should feel comfortable and supported whether you lie on your side, back, or stomach. If not, it's time to buy a new mattress. A good rule of thumb: whether standing or lying down, your body posture should be the same.
- Adjustment Period: Like a new pair of shoes, after years of discomfort on your old bed, it may take time for your body to get used to your new mattress. This adjustment period varies, starting from one week, but usually takes 2 to 4 weeks for your new mattress to fully adapt as your muscles and joints recover.
- Body Adjustment: Comfortable mattress layers naturally conform to your body and often leave impressions. These body impressions are normal and therefore do not mean the mattress is damaged.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions on this one. Most mattresses today are one-sided because high-density foam is placed on the main surface, so flipping is not necessary. Most new mattresses should be rotated every three months to extend their lifespan. Usually, but never flip them.
- The best way to recycle an old mattress is through mattress recycling companies that will pick it up, shred it, and recycle it. Oscar Living collaborates with several companies that recycle mattresses and provide pickup services for your old mattress under terms and conditions.
- Waking up with back pain or achy joints every morning could be your body's way of telling you to look for a new mattress – but before blaming the bed, first evaluate your level of physical activity. If you exercise regularly or have a physically demanding job, you might be experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). If you feel pain in the morning regardless of your physical activity level, it may indicate the need for a mattress that can support you better.
- If you sleep alone but now plan to share a residence with a partner, make sure your bed can accommodate both of you. You will definitely need to change mattress size if you have a twin or full-size bed. Consider upgrading the room to a queen or king, depending on your budget and how much space you need to sleep comfortably.
Even if you already sleep alone on a queen bed, make sure the bed has the best motion isolation. Otherwise, you and your sleep partner risk waking each other up at night because of your movements.
- Can't get comfortable and find yourself tossing and turning all night? If you find you sleep better on a different mattress, like when you're at a hotel or staying with a friend, it might be time to consider buying a new mattress.
However, don't rush to buy any mattress. Learn how to choose one that suits your body type and sleeping style. Of course, keep in mind that physical changes such as pregnancy or injury can affect the type of mattress you need to feel comfortable, and your existing bed may not meet your needs. Pay attention to your sleeping habits and how you feel in the morning. Sleep trackers can monitor how much quality sleep you get (or lose) each night.
However, if your mattress is not old and still in good condition, you may not need to buy a replacement mattress.
- Remove all linens along the mattress protector then clean them in the washing machine. If there are spills or stains, it is best to wash with a cold cycle so the stains do not set further.
- Clean new mattress stains immediately, Absorb as much liquid as possible with a clean dry cloth or sponge. Dab, don't rub, to avoid spreading the spill further. Next, wet a cloth or sponge with cold water and wring it out to remove it.
- Clean stubborn stains, There are several ways to deal with stubborn or old stains. You can treat them with a store-bought stain remover; just check if it is suitable for use on mattresses and then follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Or, try a homemade mixture of regular dish soap and warm water. Spray or apply it to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a clean cloth. Let it dry.
Alternatively, make a paste from water and baking soda, then apply it to the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth. More stubborn stains may require several applications. - After you have successfully removed any spills or stains, the next step is to clean your mattress generally and eliminate any possible odors. You can do this effectively with baking soda. Sprinkle a little baking soda over the mattress and let it sit for about an hour. After this, simply vacuum.
- We recommend cleaning your mattress once every season, or at least every six months. If you suffer from allergies or asthma, we suggest cleaning more frequently.
- The only way to protect your mattress from liquid spills is by using a waterproof mattress protector. Spills do not qualify for warranty replacement.
- Pocket spring beds, also known as pocketed coil spring beds, are a type of spring bed specially made with the latest technology that functions individually/one by one. This spring bed uses a spring system embedded inside a pocket that is attached one by one. With this spring design, you will get more even support and better comfort when lying on it. Additionally, this type of spring bed offers more comfort because its springs can move individually. This means the spring bed can adjust to your body curves and minimize mattress movement.
- Bonnell spring is a type of mattress made from many coils shaped like bells. These coils are interconnected to form a single mattress. Bonnell spring mattresses are usually made of steel and provide good flexibility and comfort. Bonnell spring mattresses are popular because they are quite affordable and comfortable. This is the most common type of spring bed and can be found in almost every bed.
- Latex mattresses are made using latex foam, a material derived from rubber tree sap. They are valued for their exceptional elasticity, offering a buoyant yet supportive surface for sleeping. This type of mattress comes in various forms, including all-latex mattresses and hybrid models that combine latex with other materials, such as coils or memory foam. There are also synthetic latex versions, which mimic the feel of natural latex but contain no plant-based latex from rubber trees. Additionally, some manufacturers blend natural latex with synthetic latex to achieve the best results while saving money. Overall, however, organic and natural latex mattresses are superior in quality, more environmentally friendly, and offer a healthier sleeping experience.
- Latex mattresses are known for their durability, often lasting longer than other types of mattresses. High-quality latex mattresses, if properly cared for, can maintain their comfort and structural integrity for a long time—usually ranging from 10 to 15 years, or even longer in some cases. This longevity is due to the natural resilience of latex foam, which resists sagging and indentations, unlike traditional mattresses that may lose shape and support over time.
16. What is a Memory Foam mattress?
- Memory foam was first developed by NASA as a cushioning material to protect pilots and passengers during airplane crashes. Since then, the material has evolved into a growing product used by almost every mattress manufacturer.
Memory foam conforms to every inch of the body pressed into it. When you lift your body from the material, it slowly regains its original shape, essentially making it perfect for every body type and every sleeper.
Another unique property of memory foam is its motion isolation ability. You may have seen ads featuring a woman jumping on a mattress with a glass of wine on the other end. Amazingly, the wine does not spill. The wine doesn't spill because the energy from the jump does not transfer to other parts of the mattress. This means better sleep for couples, as one partner's movement should not affect the other.
17. What is Pillowtop?
- Mattresses with soft padding have a layer of soft material sewn onto the cover for added comfort. They are also considered more luxurious and usually cost slightly more than standard options. You can find padded surfaces in memory foam, latex, or hybrid beds.
18. What is Plush top?
-
Plush top mattresses have a medium to low level of comfort. Usually, plush top mattresses have 1 to 4 inches of additional foam on top of a firm mattress. By increasing the layer of soft high-density foam and adding a quilting layer to the medium to upper level, plush top mattresses offer advantages compared to firm mattresses. Those who sleep on their side or on their back will feel the comfort of the plush top. This proves that there is additional quilted foam beneath the mattress surface. This extra foam provides soft and comfortable cushioning for the shoulders, arms, and hips of side sleepers and fills the gaps in the lower back when you sleep on your back.
19. What is Eurotop?
-
Eurotop mattresses are the latest mattress technology generally using an additional 5-10cm foam. Structurally, it is not much different from pillow top and can be adjusted if you don't want it too soft. While pillow top looks separated with one trim, euro top looks integrated with the mattress because it uses two trims but both are actually sewn and integrated with the mattress. Diamond Single Latex with Eurotop latex material can be your choice.
This unique design allows for adding a mattress protector on top of the mattress with a soft and plush top layer and squared edges. Because of its squared design that conforms to the mattress shape, it can make it easier for you to add a Mattress Protector layer and also makes the eurotop mattress more durable. Bella Springbed for the Euro Top mattress type is available with Double Top, the Gold series, where the top and bottom both have euro tops so those who like to flip the mattress surface every so often will not lose the comfort of the Euro top.
20. Do Latex Mattresses Attract Bed Bugs and Dust Mites?
- In general, latex is not a surface where you will find dust mites. Like other animals, dust mites are attracted to sources of water and food. Latex, cotton, and wool (such as materials used in Luxury Beds) tend to breathe and ventilate better than synthetic materials. And, because they stay dry, they are less likely to attract dust mites or bed bugs, as there is no reason for them to crawl around your bed and make it their home.
However, that does not mean it is unimportant to keep sheets and other bedding washed and completely dry. You also don't want to eat or drink in bed, as there is a risk of crumbs or spills.
21. Can Latex mattresses cause allergies?
- Although allergies to natural latex are relatively rare and affect only a small portion of the population, these allergies can cause reactions due to the protein content in the material. People allergic to latex may consider synthetic latex mattresses or those made from hypoallergenic materials. Synthetic latex tends not to trigger allergic reactions, making it a safer choice for allergy-prone individuals.
Understanding the difference between natural and synthetic latex is very important for consumers to make decisions based on personal preference, budget considerations, and potential allergy issues.
22. What is meant by Horizontal Divan Split?
- Divan Horizontal Split is a solution for Indonesia, a Divan specially designed for homes with narrow access. The Horizontal Divan is divided into 2 units on the long side.
