1) Mattress size:

It's well documented that we spend nearly one third of our life in bed. Yet recent research found the majority of consumers would commonly spend more money on a sofa than on their bed or mattress. In contrast, the majority of Europeans consider a mattress to be their most important furniture investment. We all spend a great deal of time on our mattress, so it's essential to get this right, as we all appreciate that a comfortable, restful, good nights sleep has a considerable bearing on our general health, mood, and well-being.

Practicalities considered, we feel it's important to try to buy as big a mattress as your existing bed base, budget, or room size will allow. Your memory foam mattress should be as large and comfortable as possible.
