Mattress Matters

It ’ s a well-known fact that quality sleep is essential for our overall well-being . But how to ensure you reap the benefits of a good night ' s sleep and what role does your mattress play in this ? Thijs Veyfeyken , general manager of Okooko by European Bedding , answers some questions on what can help you sleep better .

What materials should I look for in a mattress and bedding ? It ’ s important to remove harmful chemicals and artificial materials from your sleep zone . Look for mattresses and bedding made of natural materials and certified to be safe from toxins . In fact , this is especially important for children to avoid allergens sensitivity developed early in life . That ' s why Okooko carries mattresses and pillows made of 100 per cent organic latex . The rubber trees we source our latex from are free of pesticides and fertilisers , and we also make our mattresses without any springs , synthetic foams or glue . For those with allergies , our latex mattresses are naturally mould- and dust mite-resistant ; and they come with removable covers for easy cleaning anytime you need . Without allergens and chemicals in your bedding , your body is better able to properly rest because you are not fighting off toxins while trying to sleep .
My partner and I have a different preference on firmness . How can we resolve this ? We all sleep differently and so what you consider as a comfortable mattress may not be the case for your partner . At Okooko , we carry latex mattresses in different combinations of thickness and densities to cater to individual preferences . Try a king or queen size mattress with different firmness on each side , so you are both comfortable . No more compromising on the ideal mattress firmness between partners !
My kids like to co-sleep with us . Do you have custom size mattresses ? If you have a particularly tall partner , or even kids who like to jump into bed with you , a custom-sized mattress can help to accommodate everyone . Different bed frames and linen from around the world can also be slightly different to standard Hong Kong sizes . At Okooko , we can customise a latex mattress to any shape and size , depending on your needs even for a baby cot , yacht or extra large family bed . Just let us know what you need and our sleep consultant can help you .
