Let’s break it down into simple terms to help you make an informed decision that can transform your sleep quality and, by extension, your daily energy levels.
Spinal Alignment and Support
One of the most critical aspects of mattress selection is the support it provides to your spine.
Firm mattresses are often recommended for back and stomach sleepers as they offer a stable support system that maintains natural spinal alignment. This reduces the risk of waking up with back pain or discomfort.
On the other hand, soft mattresses can be a haven for side sleepers. The extra “give” in a soft mattress accommodates the hips and shoulders, aligning the spine correctly when lying on your side.
However, it's not just about sleep position; weight also plays a role.
Heavier individuals might find that a firm mattress provides better support, preventing the feeling of sinking too deeply into the mattress, which can misalign the spine.
Conversely, lighter individuals may prefer the cushioning of a soft mattress.
Durability and Lifespan
Investing in a mattress is a significant decision, and understanding the longevity of your purchase is essential.
Typically, firm mattresses have a longer lifespan because they are less prone to sagging over time. The dense and tightly packed materials in a firm mattress resist the indentations that softer mattresses might develop, especially in areas under continuous pressure from body weight.
While providing luxurious comfort and excellent pressure relief, soft mattresses might require more frequent replacement if the materials start to compress and lose their supportive properties.
This is something to consider if you’re looking for a mattress that will maintain its comfort and support for many years.
Comfort, Pressure Relief, and Temperature Regulation
Soft mattresses excel at providing pressure relief, which is particularly beneficial for those with joint pain or conditions like arthritis.
The cushioning effect of a soft mattress cradles the body’s contours, reducing pressure points and promoting a more restful sleep.
However, temperature regulation is another vital factor to consider.
Firm mattresses typically facilitate better airflow around the body, staying cooler throughout the night. This can be a significant advantage if you tend to sleep hot.
Soft mattresses, due to their enveloping nature, might retain more body heat, potentially leading to discomfort for some sleepers.

The start of July brings a raft of changes that will affect households across the country.
From prescription changes to mortgage tweaks, the rules, fees and taxes will affect the way that many people spend and borrow money.
Here are a few of them.

Debt-to-income ratios and … View moreThe start of July brings a raft of changes that will affect households across the country.
From prescription changes to mortgage tweaks, the rules, fees and taxes will affect the way that many people spend and borrow money.
Here are a few of them.
===================
Debt-to-income ratios and loan-to-value restriction tweaks
==============================================
New debt-to-income rules will limit how much banks can lend to borrowers, compared to their household income.
Only 20 percent of lending can go to owner-occupier buyers with a debt-to-income ratio of six, and only 20 percent of investors loans will be able to be at a debt-to-income ratio of more than seven.
The debt-to-income calculation takes into account other debt, such as student loans.
These rules are not expected to make a big difference initially, because not much lending is currently being done above those levels. However, they are likely to limit the extent of future house price growth.
At the same time, loan-to-value rules will be eased slightly to allow banks to give 20 percent of lending to owner-occupier borrowers with a deposit or equity of less than 20 percent, and 5 percent of lending to investors with a deposit or equity of less than 30 per cent.
Previously, they could only lend 15 percent to owner-occupiers with less than 20 percent deposit and 5 percent of lending to investors with less than 35 percent.
Prescription charges
=================
A $5 charge is coming back on for prescriptions.
This does not apply to people who are over 65, Community Services Card holders, people who are under 14 or people ages 14 to 17 who are dependent on a Community Services Cardholder.
Auckland regional fuel tax abolished
==============================
The Auckland Regional Fuel Tax scheme ended on 30 June.
This is worth 11.5c per litre on petrol, diesel and their biovariants.
FamilyBoost introduced
===================
The FamilyBoost policy takes effect from 1 July, offering a payment of 25 percent of early childhood education fees for households up to $75 a week.
This is available in full to households earning up to $140,000 and reduces for those earning up to $170,000.
Households should start saving their invoices from 1 July as either PDF or JPG files, Inland Revenue says.
Payments will be made in three-monthly blocks, starting in October.
Bright-line test reduced
===================
From 1 July, the bright-line test will reduce to two years, from the current 10 years, or five for new builds.
The bright-line test sets a limit on how long properties, apart from someone's main home, have to be held to avoid tax on capital gains when they are sold.
That means that properties sold on or after Monday now need to have been held for at least two years to avoid the automatic tax.
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand is warning there could be some confusion, though, because the new rules focus on the "disposal" date of a property rather than the acquisition date.
"Care needs to be taken as the dates are determined differently. The bright-line end date is determined by when the seller first enters a contract for sale, whereas the start, or acquisition date is typically determined when title transfers."
He said that could mean that anyone who had entered negotiations before 1 July could still be captured under the old rule.
Paid parental leave increases
========================
Each year, the maximum amount of paid parental leave available increases.
How much you get is determined by how much you were earning before you went on leave.
From 1 July, the maximum is $754.87 a week before tax, compared to $712.17 previously.
Gaming duty for offshore operators
=============================
From 1 July, a 12 percent offshore gambling duty applies operators who are taking bets from New Zealand residents.
Offshore gambling operators have to register for GST if they make more than $60,000 in a 120-month period. Those that are registered for GST must also now register for the duty.
Excise tax on alcohol increases
The annual adjustment of excise tax on alcohol takes place on 1 July. This is based on movements in the consumer price index in the year to March.
