Mattresses

Mattresses play a vital role in our daily rest as they directly impact comfort, body support, and that feeling of freshness upon waking up. A high-quality bed should adapt to your sleeping position, body type, and habits, while providing a stable base that helps distribute weight evenly. That is why choosing the right model is one of the most important steps when furnishing a master bedroom, children's room, guest apartment, or hotel accommodation.

Hespo mattresses are available in various dimensions, core types, materials, and firmness levels, ensuring everyone can find a model that suits their needs. Our range includes diverse models that contribute to comfort, breathability, and durability.

How to choose a mattress according to your sleeping style?

The best mattresses aren't the same for everyone because needs vary depending on whether you sleep on your back, side, stomach, or change positions frequently. It is important to choose based on your own sense of comfort, but also according to the level of support required:

   • Side sleepers: Generally benefit from models that comfortably contour to the shoulders and hips (such as foam mattresses) to reduce pressure on joints.

   • Back or stomach sleepers: The body needs more stable and firmer spinal support, so mattresses with spring or pocket spring cores are recommended.

   • Multi-zone support: Mattresses with multiple zones are particularly practical because they provide different levels of support to different parts of the body, helping achieve a more natural posture.

What mattress dimensions should you choose for your bed?

Choosing the right size depends on the bed frame, the number of people sharing the bed, and the desired level of comfort.

   • For one person: A 90x200 cm mattress is a common choice for children’s rooms, youth rooms, or apartments. 90x200 mattresses are also practical for twin beds or for combining within larger systems. We also offer smaller dimensions like 80x190 cm and 80x200 cm, suitable for guest beds and narrower spaces.

   • For double beds: A 160x200 cm mattress provides a good balance of comfort and practicality for medium-sized rooms. For couples who want more space and undisturbed sleep, an 180x200 cm mattress is an excellent choice.

Which mattress material to choose: Foam, springs, or pocket cores?

The type of core determines the feel, stability, and how the mattress adapts to the body:

   • Foam mattresses: These include memory foam (for a soft, contouring feel), HR foam (for elasticity and good support), and advanced foams like Flexyfoam and Serene foam for pressure relief. They adapt perfectly to body contours.

   • Innerspring mattresses: Provide a classic feel of stability, firmness, and exceptional breathability.

   • Pocket spring mattresses: Feature springs housed in individual fabric pockets. This allows for better individual adjustment and significantly reduces motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other. Certain models also use rubberized coir (coconut fiber) for extra firmness.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mattresses (FAQ)

1. Which mattress should I choose?

Choosing the ideal mattress comes down to your personal needs. The most important criteria are your sleeping position, body weight, and specific habits. In short:

   • By position: If you sleep on your side, choose softer or medium-firm models that contour to the body. If you sleep on your back or stomach, you need a firmer mattress for better spinal support.

   • By temperature: If you tend to run hot at night, choose breathable mattresses with spring or pocket spring cores

   • By health: If you have allergies, latex or foam mattresses (with washable covers) are the safest choice.

   • For couples: If your partner’s movements wake you up, choose a pocket spring or high-quality foam mattress that minimizes motion transfer. The final choice should always be the model that provides your body with the perfect balance of comfort and firm support.

2. What are the best mattresses for the spine and back pain? 

The best mattresses for back pain are medium-firm to firm models with a multi-zone core (such as high-quality pocket springs or HR foam). They follow the natural line of the body and keep the spine in a correct, neutral position, preventing tension in muscles and joints.

3. Which mattress is best for preventing night sweats?

For those who feel hot at night and sweat frequently, innerspring or pocket spring mattresses are recommended because the springs allow for unobstructed air circulation and breathability. If you prefer foam, choose highly elastic cold-molded (HR) open-pore foam, and avoid classic memory foam which tends to retain body heat.

4. Which mattresses are best for people with dust mite allergies and asthma? 

For allergy and asthma sufferers, preventing dust accumulation is key. Foam mattresses (especially HR foam) or latex are the best choices because they are naturally less hospitable to dust mites and mold compared to classic springs. Always choose models with a washable, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic cover.

5. Which mattress should I choose if I am in a higher weight category? 

People with higher body weight need firmer support to prevent the mattress from sagging too quickly. Firmer mattresses with reinforced pocket springs or high-density foam are recommended. These models distribute pressure better and ensure long-term stability without a "sinking" feeling.

6. How often should a mattress be replaced? 

Experts recommend replacement every 7 to 10 years. Wondering if it's time for a new one? Clear signs include:

   • Waking up tired and stiff.

   • Noticeable sagging or indentations on the surface. 

   • Feeling the springs through the padding.

   • A sudden worsening of allergies due to accumulated dust and mites.

7. How to maintain a mattress and prevent odors? 

To protect your mattress from moisture, mold, and odors, it is crucial to regularly ventilate the bedroom and the bed itself (without bedding). Regular vacuuming of the surface and rotating the mattress (head-to-toe and top-to-bottom, depending on the model's instructions) is recommended for even wear. For maximum hygiene and longevity, using a washable mattress protector is the best solution.

8. Which mattresses are best for children? 

For a child's bed, proper and firm support for the developing spine is most important. Therefore, medium-firm to firm foam mattresses (such as PU or HR foam) are most often recommended for children as they contain no wire elements, are extremely comfortable, and come with practical washable covers. The most common choice is the standard 90x200 cm mattress.

9. Which mattress for double beds has the least motion transfer? 

For couples where one person moves frequently during the night, the best choices are pocket spring mattresses or high-quality foam mattresses. In a pocket spring core, each spring is sewn into its own pocket and reacts independently, meaning pressure on one side of the bed is not transferred to the other. Foam mattresses also excellently absorb movement, ensuring a peaceful sleep for both partners. Besides one large mattress, consider buying two smaller ones tailored to each partner's specific needs.
