Your Love Affair, with your First Bed

Falling asleep is easy, but waking up refreshed? That starts with the right bed. Here’s how to find the one.

Admit it. You have been spending much more time on your bed in recent times, especially with the extended circuit breaker measures. (Yes, i’m guilty as charged...) However, do you wake up feeling well rested and refreshed? Or do you usually wake up feeling super tired, possibly stiff together with aches and pains?

It might be a good time to relook into your mattress, as we spend a large portion of our lives sleeping, and we usually have a legitimate love affair with our bed.

Here are some essential tips on what to look out for, considering you are selecting something you will spend at least 33% of your life on.

Tip #1: Lie on it!

It’s the simplest and most effective way to feel if the bed truly supports you and suits your comfort needs.

Spend a minimum of 10 minutes on the mattress, and make sure you do not feel any pressure or pain. Hop around different retailers, to “test” them out! Try avoid making a rushed and hurried decision, as a good mattress is worth every dollar.

Tip #2: Determine if you are a side/stomach/back sleeper

Mattress firmness should match your sleeping position: side sleepers generally need softer support, stomach sleepers require firmer surfaces, and back sleepers fall somewhere in between, needing both support and pressure relief.

Individual pocketed springs offer a bouncy feel and reduce motion transfer, while soft foam mattresses conform to your body, evenly distributing weight and relieving pressure points—especially important for back sleepers.

Choosing a mattress that matches your sleeping position ensures proper support, comfort, and a restful night’s sleep, helping you wake up refreshed and pain-free.

Tip #3: Your lifestyles

Do you need extra storage, live a minimalist 'Marie Kondo' lifestyle, or share your space with a furry companion? Asking yourself these questions while working with us will help guide our recommendations for the perfect bed frame.

Storage beds are ideal for tucking away off-season items—like the winter clothes you brought back from your trip to Norway or couldn’t resist during a Zalora sale. If you have a furry companion, a low-profile bed frame makes it easier for them to hop in for snuggles with their favorite hooman.

Prefer a minimalist look? There’s a sleek solution for that too.

Grab sleek frames, with low head-boards! These would match your theme, and Marie would definitely approve of your choice!
