Why Different Springs?

If mattress disagreement is the issue, different springs might be needed. Adjusting the spring tension to fit the best way to tackle the issue and this requires specialized tooling.

Dual Comfort Mattress Options for Weight Discrepancies

To accommodate partners with different weights, such as significant weight differences or weight discrepancies, we offer dual comfort mattresses. These mattresses feature customized springs for each side while using a recommended medium layer. This ensures both partners can achieve optimal comfort.

  • Weight Differences: Ideal for partners with different weights.
  • Customized Springs: Each side has different spring firmness.
  • Medium Layer: Recommended medium latex or polyfoam layer for uniform comfort.
  • Optimal Comfort: Ensures both partners are comfortable despite weight variations.

These are our Dual Comfort or Half-Half Mattresses

Only 5% of couples opt for this option. It is quite hard for us to make in the factory and costs $480. Many are very happy just choosing the standard configurations as there are options built into the mattress that help you adjust the layers yourself.

For example, you can fold the felt layer over in the mattress to make one side firmer. However, for the 5% of people who do choose this option, they love it. These couples have usually struggled their whole life to find a mattress they can both like. If that’s you, this may be a worthwhile investment.

FAQs

  • What if I’m close to the border of the weight groups?

    If you’re near the border of these weight groups, your personal comfort preferences might lead you to choose a firmness level slightly outside your category. It’s worth considering how you like your mattress to feel and discussing it with our team.

  • Can you give an example of how personal preferences might affect the spring choice?

    Certainly! For example, Tom, who weighs 95kg and sleeps on his side, prefers a softer mattress. While the chart recommends a firmer spring for him, after discussing his preferences, we might suggest a softer spring instead.

  • Why are they called softer springs, medium springs, etc.?

    In the factory, we use technical specifications like 1.5mm and 1.6mm to describe the thickness of the springs. However, we refer to them as softer, medium, firmer, etc., to make it less technical and easier for our customers to understand. Here’s how the thickness corresponds to the spring:

    • Softer: 1.5mm thick wire in the pocket spring
    • Medium: 1.6mm thick wire in the pocket spring
    • Firmer: 1.7mm thick wire in the pocket spring
    • Very Firm: 1.8mm thick wire in the pocket spring
  • It’s telling me to get a ‘firmer’ mattress, but I want a soft feeling mattress, what do I do?

    Mattress firmness is relative to body weight. So, a “firmer range” mattress does not mean it will feel firm to you. For example, if you are 105kgs, we would recommend you to get a “firmer range” mattress. Within that “firmer range,” there are “8”, “9”, and “10” firmness levels all built into the mattress.

    All you would need to do is set your mattress to the “8” setting. The mattress would now be soft relative to your body weight. You may even find that the “9” or the “10” are plenty soft for you.

The Connection Between Body Weight and Spring Preference

Understanding the connection between your body weight and the type of mattress springs you need is crucial for achieving optimal comfort and support. At Ausbeds, we have gathered extensive insights from years of experience in fitting people to the right mattresses. This guide will help you understand why different weights require different types of springs and how you can find the best mattress for your needs.

Why Does Body Weight Matter?

Your body weight significantly affects how you experience mattress comfort and support. A mattress that feels perfect for a lighter person might not offer the same comfort to a heavier person. This is because the compression and support needed vary greatly with weight.

Weight and Spring Preference

Weight Group Common Issue Recommended Spring Mattress Models
Under 65kg Difficulty finding a comfortable mattress Softer spring (1.5mm) Cloud 3, Aurora 3, Cooper 3
65kg to 90kg Finding balanced comfort Medium spring (1.6mm) Cloud 6, Aurora 6, Cooper 6
90kg to 115kg Needing the right support with cushioning Firmer spring (1.7mm) Cloud 9, Aurora 9, Cooper 9
Over 115kg Optimal support needs with firmer springs Firmer spring (1.7mm) + cushioning layers Cloud 11, 12, 13, Aurora 11, 12, 13, Cooper 11, 12, 13

Detailed Explanation

Under 65kg: Softer Springs (1.5mm)
For those weighing less than 65kg, finding a mattress that offers enough comfort can be challenging. Most mattresses are designed for heavier people, making them too firm for lighter individuals. Softer springs (1.5mm) provide the right amount of give and support for this weight group. Models like Cloud 3, Aurora 3, and Cooper 3 are ideal choices.

65kg to 90kg: Medium Springs (1.6mm)
People in this weight range often need a balance between softness and support. Medium springs (1.6mm) are perfect for providing this balance, ensuring a comfortable sleep without feeling too soft or too firm. The recommended models for this group include Cloud 6, Aurora 6, and Cooper 6.

90kg to 115kg: Firmer Springs (1.7mm)
Heavier individuals require firmer support to maintain proper spinal alignment and prevent the mattress from sagging. Firmer springs (1.7mm) offer the necessary support and cushioning for those in the 90kg to 115kg range. Suitable models are Cloud 9, Aurora 9, and Cooper 9.

Over 115kg: Firmer Springs (1.7mm) + Cushioning Layers
For those over 115kg, the primary concern is finding a mattress that offers sufficient support without compromising on comfort. Firmer springs (1.7mm) combined with adequate cushioning layers provide the necessary support for this weight category. Recommended models include Cloud 11, 12, 13, Aurora 11, 12, 13, and Cooper 11, 12, 13.

Making Adjustments

If you find that the initial firmness isn’t quite right, adjustments can be made to fine-tune your comfort level. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Unzip the mattress cover to access the internal layers.
  2. Remove the top foam layers to reach the springs.
  3. Flip or swap the springs to change the firmness level. For example, you can adjust from a Cloud 6 (medium) to a Cloud 7 (firmer) or Cloud 5 (softer) by rearranging the springs.
  4. Reassemble the mattress by placing the layers back in order and zipping the cover closed.

That’s why we encourage you to contact us for a more tailored recommendation. Our team is here to help you find the perfect fit based on your weight, sleep style, and comfort needs.

Mattress Suitability Based on Body Weight

To help customers find the perfect Ausbeds mattress, we provide guidance based on body weight. Below is a summary of the likelihood of mattress preferences for different weight ranges. Note that people closer to the edges of the weight ranges are more likely to prefer mattresses on that side of the range:

Weight Range Preferred Mattress Type Percentage (%) Alternative Mattress Type Percentage (%)
Under 65kg Softer mattresses (Cloud 3, etc.) 80% Medium or firmer mattresses 20%
65-90kg Medium mattresses (Cloud 6, etc.) 85% Firmer mattresses 15%
90-115kg Firmer mattresses (Cloud 9, etc.) 90% Medium mattresses 10%
Over 115kg Very firm mattresses (Cloud 12, etc.) 90% Firmer mattresses 10%

This table provides an overview of mattress preferences based on body weight, helping to match customers with the most suitable mattress for their comfort needs. People closer to the edges of the weight ranges are more likely to prefer mattresses on that side of the range.
