What You Need To Know About One-Sided Mattresses

For the longest time, two-sided mattresses dominated the market. However, a visit to mattress stores today would reveal that two-sided mattresses are already very hard to find. Sure, some stores still have them in stock, but these days, one-sided mattresses have become the popular choice among consumers.

Here are some of the things you need to know about one-sided mattresses, now considered the industry standard.

They cannot be flipped

Unlike two-sided mattresses, the single-sided mattress only has one side with upholstery. In place of padding, a non-skid surface makes up the other side. A one-sided mattress features a high-density base, topped by levels of support foam that vary in firmness, with the topmost being the softest.

They require little maintenance

All a one-sided mattress needs is periodic rotation to protect it from sagging and uneven wear. Rotating it from head to foot every three months or so is certainly less strenuous than flipping a usually very heavy two-sided mattress.

They are easier to transport

A single-sided mattress is lighter because it doesn’t have the extra padding and coils that are typical of two-sided mattresses. Its lightness makes it easy to move from one place to another.

Movement is reduced

The high-density base of one-sided mattresses makes for a foundation that is motion-resistant. So if two sleepers share the bed and one changes position, the other won’t be bothered because the movement is reduced.

A wider selection

Most mattress stores carry several types of one-sided mattresses, giving customers options that will suit their needs.

They are more affordable

One-sided mattresses typically cost less than double-sided ones because of the simple fact that manufacturers spend less making them. The low cost of manufacturing single-sided mattresses can be directly attributed to the changes in flammability standards over the last decade.

Manufacturers are required to install underneath the cover on all sides of each mattress a fire retardant fiber that only one company makes, which means it can get costly. With the one-sided mattress, they only have to put in that fiber on the top and sides of the mattress, thus lowering the production cost and making the whole thing cheaper.

Considering the above benefits of one-sided mattresses, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that demand for them is higher than for two-sided ones. Nevertheless, your comfort should always be top priority, and that’s why it’s entirely up to you to decide whether to go with one-sided mattresses or with double-sided mattresses, which are comfortable and durable in their own right.

How to Choose the Best Inexpensive Mattress

We take pride in our ability to deliver the lowest prices on mattresses without sacrificing comfort or quality. When choosing from our wide range of affordable mattresses, there are several items to consider before purchasing the mattress that is the best fit for you. We’ve taken the time to highlight some of the most important areas of consideration before choosing one of our mattress products.

Here are 3 things to consider before choosing a great affordable mattress.

1. Check for Support

The first step is to get a sense of what kind of back support you need for your mattress. Everyone’s preferences are different so knowing what your back needs to feel refreshed every morning is a crucial step in determining which mattress to buy. People that prefer more responsive mattresses may like an innerspring mattress, which are among our most affordable product offerings. Of course, we do also offer firmer memory foam mattresses, as well as hybrids for those that like a more specific “in-between” feel.

2. Consider Your Sleeping Style

Typically, how your back feels when waking up is a result of your sleep position. Sleeping on your side creates an arch, so most side sleepers get better results from an affordable memory foam mattress that contours to the shape of their body. Individuals that sleep on their stomach are usually the most difficult to please. Sleeping on your stomach requires a mattress firm enough to keep your back aligned but also soft enough to reduce pressure on your stomach and ribs. We have a range of options to find the perfect level of comfort. Back sleepers are the most common and usually can find comfort in any mattress type. With less stress on your body from that type of sleep position, you’ll find the perfect mattress that meets your personal needs and budget at Ben’s.

3. Consider Your Partner’s Sleeping Style

If you share the bed on a regular basis, taking your partners needs in to account is just as important as your own. Finding compromise is the key to any successful relationship. Ben’s offers several products that provide the perfect amount of compromise on comfort, support and budget. Stop by any of our 14 convenient locations to test any of our product options and make the choice that is right for the both of you.
