Selecting your shared mattress will take trial and error\u2014and compromise\u2014but the team at BSC is here to help you make an informed choice!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding Sleep Needs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get started, let\u2019s discuss shared versus individual comfort. Shared comfort is the feeling of calm that we get from being in a space with others. Personal comfort is how we customize our sleep environment to feel comfortable without considering the needs of others. How do we merge the two types of comfort?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the Right Type of Mattress<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want a conventional mattress with springs, one without, a padded topper, memory foam, gel, or combination? There are a lot of choices! Here are a few of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/mattress-education\/mattress-types\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">common types of mattresses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for couples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Memory Foam:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The cushioning properties of memory foam are good for people with body pain, especially those with arthritis. They also reduce motion transfer, which makes them a good choice for co-sleeping.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Innerspring:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Coils in an innerspring mattress provide support, and the surface of innerspring mattresses is bouncy with decent airflow. The coils offer better <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/reference\/what-is-an-innerspring-mattress\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">edge support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for older adults or people with mobility challenges. The more coils in the mattress, the more points of support.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pillow-top:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These mattresses have a layer of upholstery on top of the mattress, mimicking a pillow (hence the name). Pillow tops distribute weight well, and can alleviate joint and muscle pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Latex: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or your partner change positions frequently during the night, latex might be a good choice. Latex springs back into shape when you move, and the design promotes airflow and prevents heat build-up. Like memory foam, latex mattresses are good for people with arthritis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hybrid:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Named for the combination of steel coils and various types of foam, hybrid mattresses offer the best of both worlds. They are supportive, contouring, and can be more durable than an all-foam mattress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many gel mattresses use technology to create a cooling effect\u2014a significant benefit for hot sleepers. They can also isolate motion and provide pressure relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterbedquiz.org\/quiz\/?_gl=1*1h03fuu*_gcl_au*MjA1OTYzNDIyMy4xNzM3MDYxMjUw*_ga*ODkzMTAzMTkwLjE3Mzg1OTg4ODc.*_ga_Y7L9W76WKQ*MTczODY4MDE4OC4xMDQuMS4xNzM4NjgyOTMwLjYwLjAuMA..\"><b>TAKE THE BETTER BED QUIZZZ WITH YOUR PARTNER TO FIND THE PERFECT MATTRESS!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motion Isolation for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name implies,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/research-methodology\/motion-isolation\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">motion isolation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> depends on whether movement on one part of a mattress transfers to another part of the mattress. A good mattress for couples will provide strong motion isolation so you won\u2019t feel your partner roll over, change positions, or get out of or into bed\u2014at least not as much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can test for mattress isolation in the store in a couple of ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a closed water bottle on one side of the bed. Sit down on the other side. If the water bottle topples over, the isolation is not very strong. If it didn\u2019t, you may have a winner!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lie down on one side of the mattress and ask your partner (or store associate) to lie on the other. Take turns changing positions, rolling over, and getting on and off the bed. If you didn\u2019t notice much movement, the mattress has good motion isolation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory foam, latex, and gel are typically mattresses with strong motion isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sleep-Partners-Report_3-1-23.pdf\"><b>FAST STAT<\/b><\/a><b>: 8 in 10 adults agree that cuddling reduces feelings of stress and anxiety.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Temperature Conundrum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matching body and room temperature might be one of the most difficult aspects when sleeping with a partner. Our body temperature fluctuates minimally while we\u2019re awake. As bedtime approaches,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sleep-disorders\/what-happens-body-during-sleep\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our body temperature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> begins to fall, and we lose one to two degrees while we sleep. As morning approaches, our body temperature rises and signals that it\u2019s time to wake up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bedroom temperature can help our bodies regulate our internal thermometers. Experts agree that 65\u00b0F is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/better-sleep\/the-ideal-bedroom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ideal temperature for sleeping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, plus or minus a few degrees. The trick is finding a comfortable temperature for you and your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re cold and your partner is hot, wear heavier pajamas or add a blanket on your side of the bed. Play with the temperature a little, but try not to set it to more than 70\u00b0F. Another option is to choose a gel cooling mattress and bedding, as discussed above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sleep-Partners-Report_3-1-23.pdf\"><b>FAST STAT<\/b><\/a><b>: 40% of U.S. adults share a bed with a partner six or more times a week.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side, Back, Stomach, Starfish?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What positions do you and your partner sleep in throughout the night?<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/best-sleeping-position\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side, back, and stomach are the most common<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and some people switch positions multiple times while sleeping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take note of what position you typically fall asleep in, when you wake up at night, and in the morning.

A twin bed is too small; depending on your cuddling preferences, a King or California King might seem too big. How do we find a middle ground?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, determine how much space you have to allot for a bed. Measure your bedroom, taking furniture (current and future) into account. You don\u2019t want to sleep in a cramped space. Refer to this list for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/mattress-sizes\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mattress sizing tips<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Queen (60 x 80\u201d):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Queen mattresses are several inches wider and longer than a full-size mattress.

Choose a king-size mattress to maximize personal space for you and your partner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Split King (76 x 80\u201d):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A split king is two separate mattresses, each the size of a twin XL. This configuration allows you and your partner to customize your sides of the bed differently depending on personal preference. Many couples find this is the best type of mattress for co-sleeping.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>California King (72 x 84\u201d):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Have a large, long bedroom to fill?
