How to choose the right mattress
10 July 2026
A good mattress is the foundation of good sleep. Start with your preferred sleeping position: side sleepers usually want a softer surface that cushions the shoulder and hip, while back and stomach sleepers need firmer support.
Next, consider the construction. Pocket-spring mattresses offer breathability and bounce; memory foam contours to your body and isolates movement; hybrids combine both. In the UAE climate, look for a cooling cover.
Finally, give it time. Your body needs a few weeks to adjust to a new mattress, so don't judge it on the first night.
