Pros And Cons Of A Thick Mattress
There are many pros associated with a thick mattress.
Thick mattresses are an excellent option for:
• Durability: The more material a mattress has, the more durable it is (also it's less likely to sag).
• Heavy people: Ideal for people who weigh more than 200 pounds. Enhances comfort and durability by providing deeper compression and weight support.
• People who do not suffer from severe pain (or for those who have no trouble getting in and out of bed).
• Large space: Ideally suits a larger room and if you don't mind a more visually imposing setup.
• Current short support: Suitable for short platform beds or foundations. The combination of a short support system and a tall mattress is ideal.
• Good budgets: An excellent option if your budget allows it. The price of taller mattresses (especially latex) can be higher.
• Pets: Ideal for pet owners who do not want their pets climbing on the mattress.
Consider the following cons of a thick mattress before deciding to purchase one.
Thick mattresses are not suitable if you have:
• Mobility issues: Not ideal if you have difficulties moving objects, especially since it is heavy.
• Pain: People with fibromyalgia, arthritis, general pain, or mobility problems should avoid this. Getting in and out of bed can be challenging for them.
• Small space: Small rooms may not be suitable for this. A taller mattress appears larger (which makes it seem as if you have less space).
• Current Tall Support: You shouldn't use this if you already have a tall platform bed or any foundations. It may be too high for your room.
• Short budget: Not ideal if you have a tight budget. The price of taller mattresses (especially latex) tends to be higher.
• Pets: Avoid this if you want your pets to jump up onto your mattress
Pros And Cons Of A Thin Mattress
There are many pros associated with a thin mattress.
Thin mattresses are an excellent option for:
• Lighter Mattress Weight: Ideally suited for people who cannot easily move heavy items.
• Mobility Issues: Suitable for those with mobility issues who might have to move it.
• Pain: Suitable for people suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis, general pain, or mobility problems. It is easier to get in and out of a shorter mattress.
• Small Space: Ideal for small rooms. Smaller spaces benefit from shorter mattresses.
• Current Tall Support: Suitable if you already have a tall platform bed. The combination of tall support and a short mattress works great.
• Tight Budget: An ideal choice for those on a budget. In general, taller mattresses are more expensive (especially latex mattresses). Shorter mattresses should save you money.
• Pets: Ideal if you want your pets to jump up on your mattress.
You should also consider the following cons of a thin mattress before deciding to purchase one.
Thin mattresses are not ideal if you have:
• Longevity concerns: The less materials in a mattress, the more likely it is to sag. In general, thinner mattresses last less than thicker ones.
• Heavier body type: The weight support provided by thin mattresses is insufficient for heavier individuals.
• No major pain: Suitable if you have no major pain and are able to get in and out of bed easily.
• Large space: Ideal for rooms with more space and a larger aesthetic.
• Current short support: Short mattresses don't go well with short support systems.
• A good budget: If your budget is good, you should buy a thick mattress; it will last longer.
• Pets: You shouldn't use this mattress if you don't want your pets to climb on it.
Is There A Best Mattress Height?
It's impossible to determine the best mattress height. Multiple factors play a role in height preference.
In our above pros and cons on thick and thin mattresses, we cover every major consideration.
We categorize mattress heights into 5 categories:
1. Low profile (2-5"): They come in many designs, including blow-up air beds and space-saving folding floor mattresses. This style of bed is ideal for a spacious, modern bedroom, or simply for people who prefer a lower bed.
2. Thin (5-8"): The slimmest conventional mattresses are typically made of foam, as it is the densest material. A budget price range will likely include plenty of foam mattresses, and some will bring back painful memories of guest beds and campsites.
3. Standard (8-12"): They are popular due to their mid-price range. The consumer also benefits from lower postage costs for the seller since this is a common height for boxed and vacuum-rolled shipping.
4. Tall (12-16"): These tend to be the most purchase-worthy quality and widespread online and in showrooms.
5. Extra Tall (16-20"+): They are the result of a time when technology, materials, and construction were less advanced. In a country retreat setting, they will complement bed bases that are substantial and furniture that is imposing. You can purchase them, but they can be quite expensive.
