There are essential features the right mattress must have, namely:
Pressure-point relief
A suitable mattress must provide a “floating” sensation: it should support you without making its support feel harsh, avoiding compression and eliminating pressure points. This is achieved by the best mattresses, which combine proper support and comfort to deliver truly restorative sleep.
Recommended height: 28 cm
Why is the recommended height 28 cm, with a minimum of 25 cm? A substantial height helps ensure the construction is multi-layered, with different material layers that provide calibrated support, achieving both stability and the highest level of comfort. For example, this can include differentiated spring layers combined with next-generation memory foam.
Upper-mid quality
A mattress designed to deliver the benefits described above is inevitably a higher-end product. The price of a double mattress will be higher than most online-advertised mattresses, which are often designed upstream for marketing purposes rather than for people who genuinely seek quality rest. A truly excellent double mattress, excluding any discounts, typically starts at €1,500 and can also exceed €2,000.
