A Mattress For Two: What Every Newlywed Couple Should Know

A marriage is a lot more than a union – it’s the beginning of a shared life. One that comes with joint decisions, big and small. And one of the first shared decisions many couples have to make is which mattress to buy!

Sure, it may not seem significant, but the truth is that your mattress can have a sizable impact on sleep quality, and consequently, overall quality of life. In fact, a study showed that participants reported higher levels of conflict in their romantic relationships following nights of poor sleep. On the other hand, good-quality sleep has been shown to improve conflict resolution.

What’s more, when a couple is unable to sleep together comfortably in the same bed, it can also lead to ‘sleep divorce’, where they choose to sleep in separate beds. While this arrangement may work for some, it can be difficult for couples who would prefer to share the same bed.

And look at it this way - the process of purchasing a mattress can bring a couple closer together.

From testing out mattress options side-by-side to debating over firmness levels, this shared experience is a microcosm of married life itself – a blend of compromise, understanding, and shared goals. As couples explore options, they learn more about each other’s habits and preferences, whether it’s how they sleep or their approach to decision-making.

Clearly, mattress shopping is more than just a task; it’s an opportunity to strengthen your bond and create a solid (and comfortable!) start to your new chapter!

In this blog, we’ll go through the key considerations that couples should account for when choosing a mattress together,

Here are the top factors newlyweds should prioritise.

Sleeping styles: Most people have specific sleep preferences, relating to positions, mattress firmness, temperature, and more. It's important to find a mattress that accommodates both individuals’ preferences to ensure peaceful sleep. For instance, back sleepers require a mattress on the firmer side, and side sleepers would need a softer mattress.

A mattress that offers medium-firm support and adapts to the body’s contours may be the best choice.

Motion isolation: It’s common to toss and turn at night – and some people do it more than others. However, this may disturb your partner’s sleep. A mattress that minimises motion transfer, such as MM Foam’s Bloom mattress, would be ideal.

Temperature regulation: Two people on the same mattress generate more heat than one, which can lead to discomfort. Opt for natural latex mattresses that are known for their breathability and temperature regulation.

Durability: A mattress is a long-term investment. Opt for one made of a durable material like latex, and that is non-sagging. Look for mattresses that have a warranty of at least ten years or more.

(Did you know MM Foam’s Pincore mattress comes with an impressive 17-year warranty?)

Customisation: In a situation where both partners have vastly different preferences, go for a customised mattress that can be tailored to individual needs.

Size: Opt for at least a queen size mattress that can comfortably fit two people. However, if one partner is taller and tends to spread out, a king size mattress may be better.

Try before you buy: Visit a showroom and try out mattresses for yourselves. If purchasing online, check the fine-print for the return policy.

Finally, once the decision has been made, level up your mattress with high-quality pillows and a mattress protector Check out MM Foam’s range of pillows and accessories here.
