SLEEP & BED CONSULTATION

Sleep consultation: finding the right bed for you

How well the bed and mattress suit our body is a question many people have. At Imperial Interiors in Zurich, we take the time to find out exactly that together with you. We focus on personal consultation and support you individually. In this guide, you will learn what matters in a personal bed consultation.

What makes a good bed fit

Mattress and base carry the body together and distribute weight – for example at the shoulders and hips – across the surface. How much support and how much give come into play differs from model to model. Because everyone is built differently and lies differently, there is no standard solution here, only the one that suits you – which is what our personal consultation is for.

Mattress and base as a system

A bed always works as a whole: mattress and base must be matched to each other so that support and give develop as intended. The base absorbs movement and influences how the bed adapts to your body, while the mattress shapes the immediate lying comfort. Only in their interplay does a sleep system emerge that carries your sleeping position and body weight.

The DUXIANA Pascal spring system

We carry DUXIANA, the Swedish brand that has stood for high-quality sleep systems since 1926. At its heart is the patented Pascal spring system with interchangeable spring cassettes, which according to the manufacturer adapts to the body and sleeping position and distributes pressure. Whether this system suits you is best judged by trying it and talking it through in a consultation.

A calm, well-ventilated sleep environment

Besides the bed and mattress, the room itself is part of the consultation: darkening, ventilation and materials – we're happy to discuss these with you too. With our in-house brand NUVOSETTE, we offer handcrafted beds, Italian bed linen and premium terry to OEKO-TEX standard.

Trial lying in our showroom

Whether a sleep system truly suits you is best revealed by lying down – which is why we warmly invite you to try our beds at our showroom on Nüschelerstrasse 30, about five minutes' walk from Zurich's main railway station. At your leisure, you can test different systems and feel how support and give work for you. Our personal consultation takes the time this requires.

How Long Does a Mattress Last? Honest Answers on Lifespan and Hygiene →There is no scientifically proven rule such as “replace every 8 years” – such intervals come from the industry, not from research. What is established: worn-out beds that no longer support you impair sleep, washing bed linen at 55 °C or above reliably kills house dust mites, and below 50% humidity mites dry out. What counts is the condition of the bed, not its year of birth.The Right Pillow: What the Evidence Shows for Neck Pain →Pillow height and shape determine the alignment of the cervical spine – not the marketing. A systematic review shows that the right pillow can reduce neck pain and waking symptoms; general sleep quality, by contrast, changes little. In comparative studies, latex pillows performed best. The right height is individual: side sleepers need more, back sleepers less.Bedroom Temperature: Why Heat Is the Real Sleep Thief →Heat and humid warmth demonstrably disturb sleep – they increase wake phases and reduce deep and REM sleep. A fixed “ideal temperature” such as the often-quoted 18 °C, however, is not scientifically robust: a large field study found the best sleep efficiency between 20 and 25 °C, with large individual differences. What matters is avoiding trapped heat and moisture in the bed.Which Bed for Back Pain? What Studies Really Show →The best available evidence supports a medium-firm, individually fitted bed for back pain – not the hardest one possible. In a randomised Lancet study, medium-firm mattresses performed markedly better than firm ones for chronic low-back pain. What matters is that the spine stays straight while you lie down: shoulders and pelvis sink in, and the middle of the body is supported.
