The Ultimate Mattress Buying Guide | EM Shop Australia

Buying a mattress is one of the most important investments you can make for your comfort and health. The right choice will improve sleep quality, reduce aches, and last for years. At EM Shop, we’ve created this guide to help Australians choose a mattress confidently when shopping online.

1. Choose the Right Size for Your Needs

The first step is choosing a mattress size that fits both your room and your lifestyle.

• Single – Perfect for children, teenagers, or solo sleepers in compact rooms.
  
• King Single – Extra space for growing teens or single adults who like more room.
  
• Double – Great for single sleepers who want additional width or couples on a budget.
  
• Queen – The most popular size for couples in Australia, balancing space and room fit.
  
• King – Maximum sleeping space for couples, families with kids, or those who value extra room.

Pro Tip: Your mattress should be at least 10–15 cm longer than the tallest person sleeping on it to ensure maximum comfort.

2. Match Firmness to Your Sleeping Style

The right firmness level is essential for spinal alignment and comfort.

• Stomach Sleepers – Firm mattresses keep the spine aligned and prevent sagging.
• Back Sleepers – Medium-firm mattresses balance support and cushioning.
• Side Sleepers – Softer mattresses contour to your shoulders and hips, reducing pressure points.

Your body weight, sleeping habits, and personal comfort preference all influence the right firmness choice.
