We will all agree that there are fewer things on Earth that make us happy than a comfortable night’s sleep. Yes, an occasional adventure and camping are good, but regularly sleeping on wet, rough, stony or snowy floors is not something anyone looks forward to. This is exactly why a mattress is so important.
Almost all of us have used a mattress in our lives and are still using it. It is such an essential part of our lives that we hardly stop to wonder what goes into making it or how it can give us such comfort. However, the dedicated team at Flo Mattress has not stopped wondering. We wonder every day, how can we improve our mattresses, what can be made better so that you as our customers get the best sleep.
In our quest to provide you the best possible facility, we have identified the major factors that can influence the quality of sleep that you get from your mattress. This is a handy guide that has been put in place by our team, to help you decide on the best mattress for your personalized requirements.
Before getting into the details of the factors, however, we would like to highlight one fact. No mattress is perfect for everyone. This is because, as humans, essentially we all have different requirements. Hence, what works for you may not work for me or vice versa. Thus, to get the best out of your mattress, it is crucial to know what are your requirements. Who is going to use it, where will you place it, are there any specific needs that need to be met by the mattress? All these are important to know before you start browsing for your new mattress.
Size – Having clearly defined your goals, now you can start looking at the factors defining the experience from a mattress. The first and very important factor to consider is the size of the mattress. A mattress too large will cover your whole room making movement difficult and wasting space. On the other hand, a smaller sized mattress than the one required will leave you with cramps and body aches.
So, it is important to know what are your requirements and the dimensions of the room in which you need to place the mattress. Having done that you can check which of the standard-sized mattress meets your needs. Some of the standard sizes available in the market are
- King Size Mattresses – One of the largest sizes available in the market, this size is only slightly smaller than the California King mattress. This size is perfect for large rooms and big families. It can easily accommodate anywhere between 2 to 4 people.
- Queen Size Mattresses – Next in the standard sizes is the Queen Sized mattress. This is only slightly smaller than the King Size and is most commonly used. A queen-sized mattress can easily accommodate 2 to 3 adults and hence are frequently used in homes with smaller rooms, hotels and guest houses providing double bed services and by couples starting to build their homes.
- Full-Size Mattresses – This is a more confusing size as it is also known as double, however, it is not sufficient for more than 1 adult. This size is bigger than the single mattress and is a good fit for the rooms of growing children or teenagers. This size is also good if you want to share your bed with your pets or want some extra space on your bed.
- Twin (or Single) Mattresses – Last but not the least, this is undoubtedly the most used and common size of mattresses available. Good enough to accommodate a single adult, this size of mattresses is a common sight in hostels, bunk beds, guest rooms and other such places where only one person is going to need the mattress.
Thickness – The second and almost equally important factor when choosing a mattress is the thickness of the mattress. Once the size is finalized, this is the next thing you should concentrate on. Why the thickness of a mattress would matter, you may be wondering!
A mattress too thick will make you uncomfortable with its height and one too thin will start sagging causing back problems and body aches. Also, a thin mattress will have much lesser durability than the others.
The standard thickness of mattresses available in the market is 5 inches or 6 inches. These sizes are convenient, durable and comfortable. However, if you need any other size apart from these, the mattress manufacturers can always make it for you.
Material – Finally, what goes inside the mattress defines how comfortable you will feel sleeping on it. The last factor that we look at here, is the filling material in a mattress. This is a very critical component as it defines a number of things. The firmness of the mattress, the air circulation and the side effects as well as the comfort that you can derive out of the mattress.
Here is a list of some of the material that is commonly used as a filling material in the mattresses. Each of these has unique properties that can make it a perfect fit for your specific requirements.
- Cotton – This is one material that has been used in making mattresses not from decades but centuries. A typical natural fibre, cotton has several properties that make it such a favorite among mattress manufacturers. Being natural, there are no side effects and the fibre itself lends to great air circulation keeping the environment cool while sleeping. It is these properties that make cotton a preferred option, even when so many alternatives are available in the market. Another factor is the low cost of cotton mattresses. However, the one major disadvantage with cotton filled mattresses is their durability. The material is naturally prone to clumping and sagging, making it unusable after a few years of use.
- Coir – The next material which is also a natural fiber and has similar properties as cotton, coir is also largely preferred by manufacturers. It sags much lesser than cotton and provides a great bounce to support body weight. However, the coarse texture of coir necessitates embedding it into another material like a foam to make it usable and comfortable.
- Spring or Coil based – Taking inspiration from the best properties of cotton and coir, this is the next level of mattresses where springs or coils are embedded in soft memory foam. The higher the density of these coils, the more comfortable mattress.
- Memory Foam – The most advanced development in the field of mattresses is the memory foam, which is essentially multiple layers of material making it thick and yet allows to mould as per the shape of the person sleeping on it. The biggest advantage of memory foam, which is further enhanced by Flo Mattress into their proprietary Responsive Memory Foam, is that it responds to the weight of the individual body parts. Thus, a heavy part like shoulders will get more support than a comparatively lighter body part.
Overall, this has an effect of making you feel weightless and as if you are floating in the water. This is the perfect state to sleep and gives you the most relaxing sleep you could ever want.
Why You Need A Flo Mattress
Have you ever gone camping? Sleeping under the stars huddled in a small tent with possibly a river flowing by. Isn’t it the most heavenly feeling on Earth? For those of you, who do it occasionally and as a change from their routine, this must be an easy question with a resounding YES as an answer. But, imagine doing this every day!
Ah! Now start thinking and hesitation. For a day or a week is great. But sleeping on those hard, uneven, rocky floors or even more so on a snowy ground is not something you would probably look forward to every day of the year! Even with the best sleeping bags, this suddenly doesn’t sound like the perfect idea anymore.
And this is when you start realizing the importance of your warm bed and cosy mattress. Adventure and camping are awesome, but then so is coming back home to a well-made and relaxing bed. While the first may be your personal preference, we at Flo Mattress ensures that the second experience is the best for you.

Types Of Flo Mattress
Ortho Mattress – What is the best mattress, you may be wondering. There is a lot of information on this right here on our website. However, the simple and short answer is – it depends. Yes, it depends on your personal preferences and health needs.
So, if you weigh more than the average weight of people with your height or if your preferred sleeping position is on the back or your stomach, you will be recommended a firmer mattress. Sleeping on a comparatively harder mattress may be a personal choice or a medical need.
For those of you suffering from any kind of back troubles, even the doctors would recommend sleeping on a harder surface. Our Ortho variant is designed keeping especially those in mind, who require such orthopedic support while sleeping. While, this may be the former one of our two variants, it in no way means that you need to sleep on a mattress that is hard and uncomfortable.
Even the Ortho variant consists of our proprietary Responsive Memory Foam that responds to the weight of your body part. This helps in maintaining the natural body posture, while still supporting your troubled back.

How Do We Keep Costs So Low?
Here is a brief overview of how goods reach the retailer across the street. The goods are manufactured by the manufacturers and sold to the wholesaler with some profit over the cost. The manufacturer then ships the mattress or other goods to the wholesaler’s warehouse, where they are stocked. This further adds to the cost, including the cost of shipping and the cost to store.
The wholesaler then sells it to the retailer, with a further addition to the charges. This overall is the cost to the retailer. Finally, the goods are sold to the end customer, i.e. you, with a profit overall these costs. So, not only are the goods taking a long time to reach the customer from the manufacturer, but the cost also keeps increasing substantially.
