It is one of the basic necessities in your home, but the humble mattress never really gets its due. However, with most of the world either in lockdown or slowly emerging from one, the bed has become one of the most important items of furniture in the house.
The mattress industry during the lockdown
As per this news report, the mattress industry in the West saw an unprecedented boom during the COVID-19 lockdown. The report states that with people confined to their homes during the lockdown, they were able to catch up on sleep, or work on their laptops while sitting on the bed. Most people reported resting more during the lockdown phase, which simply meant that they were spending more time in bed. Naturally, they felt the need to have comfortable mattresses during this time – if they didn’t already have one, people invested in mattresses during the lockdown. In any case, the smart mattress industry is projected to have a growth by $109 mn between the years 2020 and 2024.
A similar situation played out here in the UAE and the rest of the Gulf region. The lockdown became the perfect time for investing in a new mattress, since one was bound to rest more or stay in bed longer in the morning since there was no office or school to go to.
Buying the mattress: Is now the right time?
There’s never a right or wrong time to buy a mattress. You cannot use your bed unless there is a good mattress on it to lay on. However, most people balk at buying good quality mattresses, even those recommended by their doctors, because of the price tag attached to the product.
But think about this: the payoff for buying a good quality mattress from a reputed brand is much higher than the price you pay for it. What is more, leading mattress brands in UAE have affordable, high quality mattresses that offer a range of benefits for the user. When the mattress is sturdy, durable and able to retain its form and shape despite years of regular use, then the money you invest in it is a one-time cost that pays for itself over the years!
So, if you have been deferring your decision to buy a mattress for a while, don’t stop yourself from taking the step now. Despite the COVID-19 scare, or perhaps because of it, having a great mattress is suddenly of the utmost importance. Who knows, you might need it to self-quarantine from the Coronavirus, or relax your aching back from years of chronic pain, or just improve your disturbed sleep.
