Can A Wrong Mattress Size Affect Your Sleep?

healthy bedGetting enough sleep is important for your health, but there are a lot of factors that contribute to it. For example, having a mattress that’s too firm or too soft can make a big impact on the quality of your sleep. You sleeping position also matters when it comes to your nightly rest, and each position will need something slightly different. For instance, if you sleep on your side, it’s no use having the best mattress for stomach sleepers as they need a completely different type of support. Instead, you want to find the right mattress for a person that sleeps on their side, and you’ll find that your quality of sleep is greatly improved. One other major thing that impacts your sleep is the size of your mattress. With so many to choose from and a limited space in your bedroom, you can easily pick up the wrong one. So, keep reading and discover if owning the wrong mattress size can affect your sleep… 

How It Affects Your Sleep

Having a mattress that’s the wrong size will most definitely impact your sleep. For example, if it’s too small, you’ll find that you can never get comfortable and notice that it becomes impossible for you to stay asleep. You’ll also see a change in how your body feels when you wake up. You may find that you’re a lot stiffer and achier than you ever were, as your body was trying to sleep in uncomfortable positions all night. Sleeping on a mattress that’s too small will drastically decrease the quality of your sleep and force you to sleep in unnatural positions. If your mattress is too small, it won’t be able to provide you with the correct type of support either, as you’ll most likely be led in a strange position, putting pressure on your joints. All of this will negatively impact how much sleep you get, as you’ll find it extremely hard to fall asleep in the first place, and then you’ll probably be tossing and turning all night trying to get comfy. So, as you can see it will greatly affect your sleep! 

Why It Affects Your Sleep

The reason having the wrong sized mattress affects your sleep is because most of the time, the size in question is too small. So, when you have a mattress that is too small for your body size, it instantly becomes uncomfortable and causes you to sleep in unnatural, unsupported positions. You’ll also find that sleeping this way leads you to wake up multiple times during the night as your body isn’t able to fully relax and fall into a deep sleep. This can have a lasting effect on your sleep quality, and you’ll wake up each morning feeling more tired than before. So, if you feel as though you’re constantly uncomfortable and can never seem to get enough sleep, the size of your mattress could be to blame. 

What Size Is Best?

The right size of mattress will be different for everyone. For instance, if it’s only ever you in your bed, a single can do just fine. However, even these types of sleepers can benefit from a double to ensure they have enough space at night. You also want to take your height and weight into consideration too. The taller you are and the more you weigh, you might need to opt for something bigger to ensure you have plenty of room. If you share a bed, you never want to go for anything smaller than a double, and oftentimes, people go for a king sized one so that they have lots of extra room to sprawl out in. So, don’t limit yourself to a small mattress even if you’re a solo sleeper, and you should really see a difference in your sleep quality.

Having the wrong sized mattress definitely has a big impact on how you sleep, so it’s important that you go for something that’s right for you. You’ll know if your mattress is too small when you can’t get comfortable, you find it impossible to put your arms out anywhere other than down by your sides, and you can’t get to sleep no matter how hard you try. So, why not upgrade your mattress to something bigger, and you’ll feel the difference instantly!
