How to Choose the Right Mattress
The right mattress can change the way you sleep.
A mattress isn't one-size-fits-all. Your sleeping position, preferred firmness, body type, comfort needs and even whether you sleep alone or with a partner can all influence what feels right for you.
At DozeIQ, we've designed a range of mattresses with different comfort levels and technologies - so you can find the one that feels right for your sleep.
Not sure where to start? Let's make it easy.
Step 1: Find Your Ideal Comfort Feel
The first question is simple:
How do you like your mattress to feel?
☁️ PLUSH
Soft, cushioned & comforting
Choose Plush if you love a softer surface that gently cushions your body and gives you a more enveloping, luxurious feel.
Best for:
- Side sleepers who prefer more cushioning
- People who enjoy a softer sleep surface
- Those who like pressure-relieving comfort

- Combination sleepers
- Couples with different preferences
- People unsure about choosing soft or firm

- People who prefer minimal sink
- Those who enjoy a stable sleep surface

Tip: Firmness is highly personal. Your preferred firmness can vary depending on your body weight, sleeping position and personal comfort preference.
Step 2: Consider Your Sleeping Position
The way you sleep can tell you a lot about the kind of support you may prefer.
🛌 Side Sleeper
Cushioning where you need it most.
When you sleep on your side, your shoulders and hips bear more pressure against the mattress. A mattress with adequate cushioning can help you feel more comfortable while maintaining supportive alignment.
Look for:
✓ Plush to Balanced comfort
✓ Pressure-relieving materials
✓ A surface that cushions the shoulders and hips
Good starting point:
Memory Foam, Grid + Latex and softer Dual Comfort options.
😴 Back Sleeper
Support that keeps you comfortably aligned.
Back sleepers generally benefit from a mattress that provides a combination of cushioning and support, without allowing the body to sink excessively.
Look for:
✓ Balanced to Firm comfort
✓ Good underlying support
✓ A stable sleep surface
Good starting point:
Orthopedic Memory Foam, Ortho Latex and supportive Hybrid constructions.
💤 Stomach Sleeper
A stable surface with less sink.
If you sleep on your stomach, you may prefer a firmer, more supportive surface that doesn't allow excessive sinking.
Look for:
✓ Firm to Balanced comfort
✓ Strong underlying support
✓ Minimal sink
Good starting point:
Firm Support and supportive Grid/Hybrid constructions.
🔄 Combination Sleeper
Flexibility for every position.
If you move between your side, back and stomach throughout the night, a responsive mattress can make it easier to change positions while providing balanced support.
Look for:
✓ Balanced comfort
✓ Responsive materials
✓ A good combination of cushioning and support
Good starting point:
Dual Comfort, Latex and Hybrid mattresses.
Step 3: Think About Your Body & Support Needs
Your body interacts differently with different mattress constructions.
If you prefer pressure-relieving comfort
Look for materials that cushion your body and distribute pressure across the sleep surface.
Consider: Memory Foam or Grid + Latex.
If you prefer stronger support
Look for a mattress with a supportive core and a more stable feel.
Consider: Orthopedic, Pocket Spring, Grid + Spring or Rubberized Coir constructions.
If you want a balance of cushioning & support
Hybrid constructions combine different materials to create a more versatile feel.
Consider: Pocket Spring + Memory Foam or Grid + Pocket Spring + Orthopedic constructions.
Step 4: Choose the Right Mattress Technology
Different materials create different sleep experiences.
Memory Foam
Contouring comfort that adapts to your body.
Memory foam is known for its cushioning feel and ability to conform to the body's shape.
Choose it if you like:
Cushioning • Contouring • Pressure-relieving comfort
Latex
Responsive, resilient & naturally buoyant.
Latex offers a more responsive feel than traditional memory foam, allowing you to move more easily without feeling deeply "stuck" in the mattress.
Choose it if you like:
Responsive comfort • Easy movement • Breathable feel
Pocket Springs
Responsive support with independent movement.
Pocket springs are individually encased, allowing the mattress to respond to movement across different areas of the sleep surface.
Choose it if you like:
Responsive support • Bounce • A more traditional spring feel
Grid Technology
Adaptive support designed around your body.
Grid-based constructions are designed to provide a responsive, adaptive sleep surface while allowing airflow through the structure.
Choose it if you like:
Adaptive comfort • Responsiveness • Breathability
Rubberized Coir
Firm, stable & familiar.
Rubberized coir offers a traditionally firm sleep surface with a supportive feel.
Choose it if you like:
Firmness • Stability • Traditional mattress construction
Step 5: Do You Sleep Alone or With a Partner?
Sharing a bed means your mattress has to work for two.
If you sleep with a partner, consider:
Motion isolation
A mattress that minimizes the transfer of movement can help reduce disturbances when your partner turns or gets out of bed.
Firmness preference
If you and your partner prefer different feels, a Dual Comfort mattress can give you more flexibility.
Size
Choose a mattress size that gives both sleepers enough room to move comfortably.
Step 6: Think About Temperature
If you tend to feel warm while sleeping, consider a mattress construction designed with materials and structures that promote airflow.
Look for:
✓ Breathable constructions
✓ Airflow-friendly materials
✓ Responsive materials such as latex
✓ Spring or grid-based constructions
DozeIQ options to explore:
Grid + Latex • Pocket Spring + Memory Foam • Grid + Pocket Spring
Remember: Your sheets, mattress protector, room temperature and bedding can also affect how warm or cool you feel at night.
Step 7: Choose the Right Mattress Size
Your mattress should give you enough space to sleep comfortably without feeling restricted.
Single
Ideal for one sleeper and compact bedrooms.
Double
A comfortable choice for one sleeper who wants more room or two sleepers with limited space.
Queen
A versatile choice for couples who want a balance of sleeping space and bedroom footprint.
King
Maximum sleeping space for couples and larger bedrooms.
Pro tip: Before ordering, measure your bed frame and available bedroom space to make sure your new mattress fits perfectly.
Step 8: Don't Choose by Price Alone
A mattress is something you use every night, so look beyond the price tag.
Consider:
Materials
What is inside the mattress?
Construction
How are the layers designed to work together?
Comfort
Does the firmness match your preference?
Support
Does it provide the kind of support you are looking for?
Durability
How is the mattress constructed and what warranty is offered?
Trial & warranty
What protection do you get after your purchase?
The right mattress isn't necessarily the most expensive one. It's the one that best matches your sleep needs.
Still Not Sure?
Start With What Feels Right.
You don't need to understand every mattress technology to find your perfect mattress.
Simply think about how you sleep, how you like your mattress to feel and what kind of support you prefer. We'll take care of the technology.
Your ideal mattress is just a few choices away.
