How to Choose the Perfect Mattress Support?
Choosing the right mattress isn’t just about size or style it’s also about how well it supports your body. One of the biggest factors that determines comfort is your weight, since it affects how deeply you sink into the mattress and how well your spine stays aligned. The right firmness level can mean the difference between waking up refreshed or rolling out of bed with aches and stiffness. Let’s break down which JYSK mattresses are best suited for different body types so you can find the perfect balance of comfort and support.

Ergonomics: How Your Mattress Can Prevent Pain 🌬️
The way you sleep has a direct impact on which mattress will give you the best rest. Choosing the right mattress not only improves sleep quality but also helps prevent aches and stiffness in the morning. Each sleeping position requires specific support to maintain the natural alignment of your spine and reduce pressure points.
🔸 Side Sleepers:
Key Considerations:
Pressure Relief: Side sleeping concentrates body weight on the shoulders and hips. A mattress should be soft enough to relieve pressure in these areas yet firm enough to support spinal alignment.
Spinal Alignment: Maintaining a neutral spine is crucial to prevent discomfort and ensure restful sleep.
Recommended Mattress Features:
Medium-soft to medium-firm firmness.
Memory foam or latex layers for contouring.
Zoned support systems to accommodate body curves.
Breathable materials to regulate temperature.
Benefits 🌿
Reduces shoulder and hip pain.
Supports spinal alignment.
Enhances overall sleep quality.

🔸 Back Sleepers:
Key Considerations:
Lower Back Support: Back sleepers require a mattress that provides adequate support to the lower back to prevent discomfort.
Spinal Alignment: It’s essential to choose a mattress that maintains the natural curve of the spine.
Recommended Mattress Features:
Medium-firm to firm support.
Hybrid mattresses combining innerspring and foam for balanced support.
Minimal contouring to avoid excessive sinking.
Edge support to prevent roll-off.
Benefits 🌿
Prevents lower back pain.
Maintains spinal alignment.
Provides a stable sleeping surface.
JYSK Picks: DRIVA GS100 F, OKLA GS75
🔸 Stomach Sleepers:
Key Considerations:
Spinal Alignment: Stomach sleeping can strain the neck and lower back. A mattress should prevent the spine from arching unnaturally.
Firmness: A firmer mattress is generally recommended to prevent the hips from sinking too deeply.
Recommended Mattress Features:
Firm to extra-firm support.
Minimal contouring to keep the spine aligned.
Thin profile to reduce neck strain.
Avoidance of overly plush surfaces.
Benefits 🌿
Reduces strain on the lower back and neck.
Promotes spinal alignment.
Decreases the risk of developing pain from poor posture.
JYSK Picks: DOMMA GS100
Extra Tip: Pillows are just as important. Neck alignment is key for reducing pain.
Sleep Comfort in Malta’s Climate 🌡️
Malta’s warm and humid summers can make getting a good night’s sleep more challenging, as heat and moisture affect comfort and rest. Choosing the right mattress and bedding can make all the difference. Mattresses designed with proper airflow, such as spring or hybrid models, naturally promote ventilation, allowing heat to escape and keeping the surface cooler throughout the night. Foam mattresses infused with cooling materials, like gel or bamboo charcoal, are especially effective at absorbing both heat and moisture, preventing the uncomfortable feeling of sleeping hot and sticky. Additionally, using breathable mattress covers and bedding made from cotton or other moisture wicking fabrics helps regulate temperature and draw sweat away from the body, ensuring you stay comfortable and dry even during Malta’s most humid nights.
Recommended models:
WELLPUR KVITA GF85: Foam with cooling bamboo charcoal
EIRA PS65 DREAMZONE: Medium firmness, ventilated foam
Use a slatted bed base and breathable sheets for maximum airflow **
Sleep Expert Tips for Pain-Free Nights 🧠
Keeping your mattress in top condition and using it wisely can prevent discomfort and prolong its life. Rotating your mattress every three to six months helps avoid uneven wear, while airing it out weekly reduces moisture build-up that can affect both comfort and hygiene. A slatted bed base enhances airflow, keeping your mattress fresh and supporting its longevity. Protecting your mattress with breathable covers shields it from sweat, dust, and allergens, and being mindful of your sleeping positions helps relieve pressure points. For an extra Malta-specific hack, sprinkling baking soda monthly can absorb moisture and odours, keeping your mattress smelling fresh.
