A. It is vitally important that your mattress has a good support system,like the foundation in a house, it is essential.

As health professionals, we recommend a pocket in pocket (dual pocket) spring system. This dual spring adjusts to different weight as pressure is applied. If you are light, you only compress the tall spring.

If you are heavier, the shorter inner spring comes into play. So no matter what your size or weight, your body will be evenly supported right across the mattress.

A. It doesn’t matter if you are an elite athlete, elderly, an adult or a teenager, or if you have health issues like back pain, the need for correct support is still the same. A good mattress should have a good support system and the right comfort layers to ensure a comfortable sleep.

A. More zones does not necessarily mean the best mattress. You need support right across the mattress so that no matter what your size or shape, all of your body is correctly supported. We use a dual pocket spring system as it is better in every way.

A. Yes. Your delivery man will take away and recycle your old mattress. They charge a small fee, however, it is cheaper than taking it to the tip and better for the environment.

A. You should rotate your mattress regularly, for example, monthly. This will reduce body impressions in the comfort top as foams compress with time. Impressions of up to 50mm are within normal limits.

We recommend you also use a mattress protector. Regular vacuuming of your mattress using an approved vacuum head will help keep it fresher.

A good base is essential, as it allows the mattress to do its job. A saggy, non-supportive base will not allow the mattress to perform at its best.

A. You spend approximately one third of your life in bed. To sleep comfortably and wake refreshed is essential. If you wake frequently due to pain or discomfort, you will not be able to function at your best. Sleep deprivation is the cause of many other problems.

A. When your new mattress is delivered, it may not feel exactly like the one you tried. It may take 1 – 2 months for the new materials in the mattress to settle down.

A. There are so many pillows to choose from, it can be confusing, however, having the correct pillow is as important as the correct mattress.

The function of any pillow should be to provide comfortable support and take the strain off your neck and jaw and allow you to sleep peacefully. There are three pillows in the Health Innovations range which all employ support and comfort technology and come in low, medium and high profile.

You only have to get the correct size recommended by your practitioner and the pillow will take care of the comfort and support.
