A guide to choosing a mattress for the discerning

Sleep should bring relaxation and rest. That’s why the mattress matters

Sleep is a fundamental pillar of life. A person who values themselves, their time, and their long-term health knows the difference between poor quality sleep and sleep that regenerates. How to choose a mattress that will bring the expected regeneration?

The basic question when choosing a mattress is: What is your sleeping position?

There is no universal “best mattress” and there is no such thing as “the best mattress for everyone”. Your mattress must respect your body and your needs. Good pressure distribution on the mattress goes a long way in relieving pressure points and reducing muscle tension. In addition to the mattress, your sleeping position, pillow and general health also affect your sleep. (1 )

Sleeping on your back: Your spine needs to maintain its natural S-curve. The mattress must precisely support your spine so that your hips neither sag nor rise. The goal is zero pressure and a feeling of perfect freedom.

Side sleeping: The mattress and pillow must work together to create a perfectly straight line from head to pelvis. It is crucial that the mattress uncompromisingly relieves pressure on the protruding points: shoulders and hips.

Sleeping on your stomach: If you prefer this position, you need firmer support to prevent sagging in your lower back.

Our individual craftsmanship allows for fine calibration of the stiffness to exactly match your preferred position, ensuring optimal pressure distribution.

How does weight affect mattress selection?

Your body weight and build affect how a mattress “works”.

Higher body weight: A heavier body exerts more pressure. This requires mattresses with high-density material (foam) or high-end pocket springs, which effectively distribute the load and eliminate the risk of bedsores. (2)

Lighter weight: A mattress that is too hard will not provide enough weight. This in turn leads to increased pressure on the protruding bones and impairs blood circulation. You need a mattress that hugs the body but still provides crucial support.

Are you a married couple, each with a different weight? We can still make you a mattress that will reflect the individual needs of each of you. Have your lifestyle or weight changed during the use of the mattress? That’s exactly the magic of custom craftsmanship. We adapt mattresses to individual needs, even if the demands on the mattress change over time.

Why do spring mattresses offer unique benefits for the demanding client?

Although there are many types of mattresses, spring systems provide better support for the body.

Perfect breathability and microclimate

Thanks to the large space in the core of the mattress, natural “ventilation” occurs when you move. This minimizes moisture retention, the risk of mold and unpleasant odors. The mattress breathes with you.

Swedish Steel: The Heart of Bernuss Mattresses

In Bernuss mattresses, we use springs exclusively from Swedish steel. It is known for its unsurpassed quality, strength and lasting elasticity.

These individual pocket springs ensure:

Individual response: The springs respond to every millimeter of your movement and body shape, minimizing the transfer of movement to your partner. Your sleep remains uninterrupted and deep.

Even pressure distribution: They reduce point pressure on the body, thereby relieving muscle spasms and tension.

What are the benefits of natural materials in mattresses?

At Bernuss, the focus is exclusively on using natural fibers and layers that take sleeping comfort to a new level.

Microclimate regulation: Natural materials like wool, silk, and horsehair (which we also use) excel at thermoregulation. They can effectively bind and wick away moisture, preventing overheating and sudden cooling. (3 )

Absence of chemicals: For the client who cares about what their body comes into contact with during long hours of rest, natural materials minimize contact with synthetics and chemicals.

Unmistakable feel: Materials like silk, cotton, cashmere, and horsehair bring an airiness and suppleness that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate.
