3.What is the budget you?

The budget is different as it makes sense from person to person. It is logical that there is some variation in prices depending on the layer that we choose, but in this particular category of goods, i.e., the layers, the more expensive doesn't necessarily mean the best. 

A couple of tips in order to end up in the right Budget that would moods:

The price does not mean a corresponding quality – Remember, the price of a layer is not all the times indicator of quality.

600€ – 800€ are a perfect budget – In this range of money (for a double layer) you can buy quality layers which is a real investment in a good night's sleep that will do it and, by extension, the state of your health.

Don't get too down – that's Not a good idea to invest in a quite economic layer. Definitely the most economical is a layer it is possible to buy something with a lower quality, but also with low lifetime and strength.

He paid good quality – A good mattress will last at least for 8 – 10 years. Think about how a layer of€ 1000 with 10 years lifetime costs just 0,27€/ day. Worth the money and more if we consider that we use daily 6-8 hours

 4.What hardness should my mattress?

The hardness is the indicator of how hard the soft is a layer. The most frequent question that a consumer is: “How hard is this mattress?” This is very difficult to answer because the feeling and the level of hardness of a layer depends on what defines each of us the hard, medium,soft. It is purely subjective. In addition, factors such as the type of body, weight, size, and other factors play a role in sensation that can be perceived by anyone.

Many times consumers confuse support with hardness. A mattress that provides good support means that it holds the spine in the correct position and aligned without creating pressure points. If a mattress doesn't provide enough support is very likely to cause us problems. The hardness is related to how comfortable it is a layer eventually. Either hard or medium or soft.

5. What is the position you sleep?

On the side, on your back, on your stomach or a little bit of everything. Each one of us sleeps like that and in a special way. The problem is that most people are not looking for a mattress that supports the what stop sleeping. Each stop of sleep has its own needs that need to be filled.

On the side

Those who sleep on the side don't stay in that position. Many times changing from having both legs straight, to have one leg straight and the other bent, or both legs bent. With this constant change, those who sleep on the side need a layer of medium-to-soft in hardness.

The hardness, and the feel is important for those who sleep on the side, so the ideal layer for those is a layer that hugs the curves of their body. A very hard layer is not hugging the body and causes lack of support which usually results in creating pain in the body.

On my Back

The hardness and support are two important elements for people who sleep on their back. A very soft mattress is likely to support not quite the middle of the one who lies on his back. This automatically creates pain in the middle and with time a number of problems in the spine. So for those who are sleeping on your back is the ideal mattress should be fixed.

On Stomach

Για εκείνους που κοιμούνται μπρούμυτα και ψάχνουν ένα καινούριο στρώμα θα πρέπει να βάλουν σαν προτεραιότητα τους την στήριξη. Το στέρνο θα προσδίδει την μεγαλύτερη πίεση στο στρώμα. Γι αυτό το λόγο χρειάζονται ένα στρώμα που παρέχει στήριξη σε όλο τους το κορμί. Εάν το μεσαίο μέρος του σώματος βυθίζεται περισσότερο τότε  εκείνος που κοιμάται θα παρατηρήσει την σπονδυλική του στήλη να κυρτώνει κατά τη διάρκεια του ύπνου, πράγμα που μπορεί να προκαλέσει πόνους στη μέση και άλλα προβλήματα.

Όσοι κοιμούνται ανάσκελα θα πρέπει είναι όσο πιο ευθυγραμμισμένοι γίνεται με το στρώμα. Ακόμα και κα΄τι μικρό όπως ένα ψηλό μαξιλάρι θα μπορούσε να βγάλει την σπονδυλική τους στήλη εκτός ευθυγράμμισης προκαλώντας  πόνο και δυσφορία.
