How to get a good night’s sleep

So it’s definitely worth putting a bit of thought into your bed and mattress — as I’ve discovered.

I have to admit, for years I’ve been going budget with mattresses, ordering the cheapest option. And I’ve been paying the price, constant back pain and many restless nights.

So I jumped at the chance to review the Wowbeds Duo Mattress — dubbed Australia’s most innovative hybrid mattress.

It arrived, vacuum sealed in a cardboard box, and setting it up took only a few minutes.

In the packaging was also a Duo Hybrid Spring Pillow.

My experience with the Duo Mattress

I’m pretty much the definition of a sleep-deprived person.

I start work each day at 5.30am, have a very active two-year-old daughter and I’m studying at university. Sleep is usually the lowest priority. But after switching from a budget mattress to the Duo Mattress, I woke up feeling refreshed for the first time in months.

My wife says it’s like sleeping in a hotel.

And I discovered, the key to getting a good night’s sleep is to have a quality mattress.

I have a new problem though — getting out of bed in the morning is now that much harder. I don’t want to leave.

The Wowbeds Duo Mattress

There’s actually a surprising amount of tech packed into the Duo Mattress.

It has two premium inner-spring layers and up to 3000 individually responsive pocket springs that react to the contours of your body.

The dual spring core is designed to isolate your movement – which is handy to avoid annoying your partner.

The two layers are arranged into seven zones that work in tandem to cradle the body in the areas that the support is needed, whether for back, side or stomach sleepers.

Wowbeds says the mattress has twice the support, twice the motion isolation, twice the pressure relief and twice the springs of its competitors.

Plus the eco-friendly bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial, anti-fungal and hypo-allergenic. That’s definitely a big plus.

It comes in three variations; medium, medium-firm and firm. I choose the medium-firm and there are no regrets.

How the mattress was made

Gary Ginsberg, the founder of Wowbeds, said the Duo had been in development for almost two years.

“From original concepts to prototypes and eventually the final sign-off of the materials and specifications, the process has been extremely thorough,” he said.

Wowbeds offers direct-to-consumer service with a 120-night comfort guarantee, free shipping and 10-year warranty.

There are also generous Black Friday deals available, with 40 per cent off products.
