Does Mattress Thickness Matter? The Truth About 20 cm and 25 cm Mattresses

When it comes to buying a bed mattress, you might have seen mattresses being advertised on the basis of their thickness. Mattress thicknesses of 20 cm and 25 cm are often considered the standard loftiness of a foam mattress. Does the thickness of the mattress really matter? We will figure it out in this article and will tell you about the key pointers that you must actually consider before buying a bed mattress. We will also introduce you to some of the top most comfortable mattresses from Kurlon UAE that have changed the way people sleep, and now they await you to transform your sleeping experience. 

Why is Mattress Thickness Important?

Here are some of the reasons why the thickness of the mattress it be a 20 cm bed mattress or 25 cm mattress. 

• Comfort, Support, and pressure relief: The thickness of the bed mattress defines how many layers of comfort and support the mattress can accommodate. The thicker the mattress, the more layers of specialized foams the mattress can accommodate, like - memory foam mattress, latex foam, coirs, pocket springs etc. These combinations of different types of foams help distribute body weight evenly, relieve pressure points, and provide proper spinal alignment. 

• Durability and longevity: The thicker the bed mattress, the higher the built quality of the mattress. Mattresses tend to sag only after a few years of usage, but the one that is built strong with quality material lasts for at least a decade, fulfilling the value of the money invested in it. 

• Motion Isolation: A thick mattress is often equipped with materials like latex foam, memory foam, and innersprings. These bed mattresses are best at providing motion isolation, which is considered the best type of mattress for couples. These mattresses absorb motion at the source itself, giving a peaceful and disturbance free sleep to both. 

• Sleep-surface height and ease of use: Thickness also impacts how high your mattress sits off the ground, especially in combination with your bed-frame or box spring. The sweet of comfort is to have enough cushioning to be able to sleep properly and not so tall that getting in and out of bed becomes awkward.

Is 20cm Enough, or Should You Go For 25cm? 

When we go out to look for the perfect bed mattress, the one-size-fits-all should not be our strategy. While the thickness of the mattress does matter, you need to see your requirements as well. Here’s how:

• Average-weight sleepers generally require more cushioning in their bed mattress. If you prefer a firmer feel or sleep on your back, then a thicker loft will provide you with spinal alignment as well as body contouring because of the various combinations of foams it is built with. 

• Side sleepers, too, require heavy cushioning as the majority of the weight comes on one side while sleeping, creating pressure points in those areas. The neck, shoulder, and lower back need elevated cushioning when it comes to side sleepers, which a loftier bed mattress can provide. 

• If your idea of a perfect bed mattress is a loftier one then you must know that a thick mattress may turn out to be overly plushy. This may lead to bottoming out of the comfort layers of the mattress if you are a heavy-weight sleeper. Such mattresses also don't suit people with chronic back pain problems as it don't provide the firmness that is needed for spinal re-alignment.
