He’s a side sleeper, she’s a stomach sleeper. He prefers a firm mattress, and she wants to feel like she’s floating on a cloud. She moves in her sleep, and he wakes up irritated. For many couples, sleep problems or sleeplessness come from sharing a mattress that is not ideal for both parties. Now the team of experts at US-Mattress, the first online mattress retailer that offers the largest selection of brand name mattress sets, has revealed their Top Five Sleep Solutions that address this challenge and help couples get deep, restful sleep.

  • If one partner tosses and turns, choose a memory foam, gel memory foam or latex mattress to prevent the transfer of motion across the sleep surface. If you prefer an innerspring system, select a mattresses with wrapped or pocketed coils.
  • Partners who snore should invest in an adjustable base. Those with an anti-snore feature or pre-set will raise the head of the base by seven degrees, which opens up airways and reduce snoring.
  • The style of comfort material is crucial for mates with different temperature preferences. Mattresses that contain PCM (phase change materials) are currently the best temperature managing materials on the market.
  • If couples are torn between comfort levels, choose a firm mattress and add a high-quality mattress topper to the partners’ side who prefers a softer feel.
  • Couples who cannot agree at all on a mattress’ firmness should consider making their own King bed by pairing two Twin XL mattresses suited to each partner with a bridge connector. A set of King size sheets will fit over the top of two Twin XLs.
