Best Mattress for Light Sleepers
People who are very light sleepers and can be woken up by movement in the bed have a few good choices when it comes to a comfortable mattress. Referred to as “partner disturbance”, movement which breaks the sleep cycle can have an overall devastating effect on daytime energy and the ability to concentrate and be productive. There are some mattresses designed to reduce or even eliminate this problem.
Innerspring mattresses which use individually wrapped coils can reduce movement in the mattress as all coils move independent of each other. These types of mattress include Simmons Beautyrest, Sleep to Live and some Stearns and Foster. They will all come in various quality and comfort levels including firm, plush and pillow top.
Another choice would be Sleep Number beds. These allow each partner to have their own side of the bed and control the comfort level. Sleep Number has a great reputation and makes a quality, although pricey, mattress.
A latex mattress will reduce partner disturbance a great deal and is a very durable foam product. Latex mattresses offer fantastic support with amazing pressure relief and most times feel similar to a traditional innerspring mattress so there is no adjustment period while your body gets used to the different feel.
A memory foam mattress reduces almost all movement as energy does not travel through memory foam the same way. Tempurpedic is the leader in viscoelastic (memory foam) mattresses and was rated number one in customer satisfaction by Consumer Reports. There are certainly other choices out there for memory foam mattresses including the iComfort, Sealy Trueform and Simmons NxG Comforpedic but have a look at Tempur mattress before deciding.
It should not be to hard to find the best mattress for light sleepers. Stick with either individual coils, air mattresses like Sleep Number, a latex mattress like the Sealy Springfree or a memory foam mattress like Tempurpedic and you will notice a huge improvement in your quality of sleep. Do some on-line research to narrow down your selection and look for current promotions or sales that fit into your budget.
