Sleep has become almost as important to our bodies as nutrition. A recent study revealed that an adult who sleeps 7 to 9 hours significantly improves their mental and physical health. To fully recharge during the night, the first step is to choose the right mattress.

1. The role of the mattress in the quality of sleep

The French brand Bdreams understands the importance of a mattress for quality sleep. Since 2012, their main goals have been to offer you quality rest and optimal comfort in your bed. Their entire team is here to help you choose bedding that suits you in every way. Four main elements must be considered: composition, support, shape, and finally, value for money.

2. Choosing the right mattress and the composition of your mattress

In France, there are mainly three components:

• Foam (polyether or polyurethane).
• Natural latex (rubber tree sap) or synthetic (petroleum derived).
• Springs (pocketed, non-pocketed).

Each element will determine the properties of your bedding. To choose the right mattress, it's important to understand the characteristics of these components. Latex is an elastic compound. It will conform to the shape of your body. Springs, on the other hand, provide a firm and sturdy bed. Finally, foam provides an intermediate layer that's perfect for most sleepers.

The French company Bdreams has opted for open-cell foam materials. This design provides comfort and support while you sleep. Sufficiently breathable, it naturally regulates your sleeping body temperature. A guarantee of quality, the polyurethane foam is also durable. The thoughtful design of Bdreams mattresses promises you countless peaceful nights.

3. Adapt your mattress to your body shape

In your quest for the perfect bed, you'll likely hear about the concepts of support and firmness. We'll explain!

Support refers to the stability of your bedding to prevent sagging. It's essential to choose a mattress with good support to avoid back pain.

At Bdreams, support is provided by a double layer of foam. There's a first 16 cm layer of polyurethane foam, followed by a second 6 to 8 cm layer of contact foam. Thanks to this concept, their mattresses are incredibly comfortable.

Firmness is more about how you feel when you lie down. Is your bed comfortable for you? You should choose a bed that feels comfortable.

There are 5 different degrees of firmness:

• Very firm
• Farm
• Balance
• Flexible
• Very flexible

Determining the firmness of your mattress is a matter of taste, but also, and above all, of body shape. Your bed should be adapted to your weight and height. It should be neither too firm nor too soft to ensure proper support for your spine.

Bdreams offers 2 categories of foam mattresses and available in several sizes.

1. The Universal model, soft with optimal support.
2. The Osmoz model, enveloping and ultra breathable.

4. Custom-made with shape memory

Memory foam beds can be a smart choice when choosing the right mattress. They're specifically made from viscoelastic, heat-sensitive foam. It adapts perfectly to the sleeper's body shape based on their body heat. If they change position, the foam returns to its original shape and readjusts to the contours of their body.

Bdreams uses this technology in the manufacture of its Universel and Osmoz mattresses. For the Universel, a layer of memory foam is embedded between two layers of polyurethane foam. The Osmoz, on the other hand, is composed of a layer of memory foam and 16 cm of high-resilience foam for support.

5. A quality mattress at the right price

The cost of a mattress ranges from a few hundred euros to over 2,500 euros. Be careful, the most exorbitant prices don't necessarily correspond to high-end beds. To choose comfortable bedding, you'll find excellent products online for less than 500 euros.

At Bdreams, the manufacturer has chosen to offer only three categories of high-quality mattresses. They prioritize quality over quantity. Through careful selection of their materials, they create comfortable products at an affordable price. This balance is a priority for them.

You have just discovered the four essential elements for choosing the right mattress. Don't hesitate to come and benefit from the advice of the bedding experts at Bdreams in their showroom in Liffré (35) or on their Bdreams website.
