Which model of health mattress is right for me?
An in-depth guide to selecting the perfect GEOVITAL mattress for your optimal health and comfort.Well done for realising that the right sleep environment has a significant impact on your bodies ability to rest and regenerate. For most of the health clients and patients of the Geovital Academy it was not actually the most expensive mattress that was the best option for them so let’s help you get some clarity about which of our mattress models might best suit you.

What mattress firmness should I choose?
This is an interesting discussion.
Most people buy mattresses after trying one for five minutes in a showroom while they are awake, which, of course, says very little about how you will experience it during actual sleep over a long period of time. Most mattress purchases turn out to be a disappointment and exceptionally few people go out of their way to buy the same mattress again when this time for replacement.
As a result of purchasing mattresses that are not really supporting us properly many people have developed the idea that they prefer a particular firmness of mattress be it hard, soft or medium.
In our experience, this perception is often incorrect
Our recommendation on mattress firmness
| Body Weight | Recommended Firmness | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100 kg or over | Firm | Seems most successful. |
| Between 50 and 100 kg | Medium | Appropriate, allowing the buttocks and shoulder blades to rest into the mattress and give the lower back the support desired. |
| Under 50 kg | Medium or Soft | A medium firmness mattress may also feel absolutely lovely. A soft firmness mattress will have a significantly shorter lifespan (about half the life) compared with a medium or firm. |
What if my partner is significantly heavier or lighter than I am?
This is really only a potential issue when two people sleep on a double or queen size mattress because those sizes are made out of one internal foam core. In those cases, most couples choose the firmness based on the heavier person simply because the mattress might not last very well if the person sleeping on it is a lot heavier than it’s intended use.
For couples where this is an issue following option should be considered:
Our mattresses which are larger than queen size are made out of two individual cores, one for each person.
Dual-Core Solutions for Couples:
In Europe: These cores are encased in their own cover and therefore effectively become two single mattresses, which, when bunched together, are the size of a king or super king or whatever size was ordered. This also allows the use of single mattress covers and bedsheets and if desired a big bed speard is used for the couple to sleep under.
In countries outside Europe: Having effectively two single mattresses is typically not seen as desirable and for those markets we can provide one large cover that in-cases the two individual single cores.
When it comes to firmness, this of course does give us the wonderful opportunity to not only choose the perfect firmness for each individual but each individual can now also position upwards that side of the mattress that they love. If that is different from the preference of their partner it doesn’t matter.
So for those couples whose body weighed very significantly they could consider choosing a mattress size that is larger in which case we can supply you two cores with different firmnesses, perfect for the individual.
I feel unsure buying a mattress that have not tried
This is perfectly understandable. Bedding stores of traditionally made mattresses available for us to try. But upon closer inspection it doesn’t actually make that much sense to try a mattress in a store for five minutes whilst you are awake. It gives very little indication of what your experience will be sleeping on a mattress for a longer period of time.
This might explain why exceptionally few people purchase one model of mattress, and when it needs to be replaced 10 years later, go out of their way to purchase the same one again. Most mattress purchases, while they felt lovely in the shop, turn out to be a disappointment.
For our mattresses which are truly unique and offer such an in-depth and holistic approach to creating a healthy sleeping environment, which are made when ordered and shipped around the world, the prices we maintain offer exceptional value. What this doesn’t do is offer bedding retailers the enormous profit margins that they have come to expect, and need to run their seemingly ridiculous and frequent high discount sales.
For this reason, they are very few retail stores in the world that stock or have on display the GEOVITAL mattresses.
When people have had the opportunity to try our mattresses for five minutes whilst they were awake (on exibitions or health conferences), the comments usually are “It’s hard to pick one. They all feel lovely.”
The chances are large that you would have the exact same experience if you were to try our mattresses while you were awake. Nearly all of our clients purchase our mattresses without having tried them because:
- their reputation proceeds them,
- they’ve heard wonderful things about them, or
- they are simply impressed and delighted with the logical and detailed approach to creating a mattress that avoids all those health burdens that other mattress manufacturers ignore or are completely oblivious to.
Walk into any bedding store and see the confused look on the shop Assistance face when you ask if that particular mattress is antistatic or if the cover can be removed and washed.
Of course they have no idea of the toxins found in most mattress materials or the frequent intolerance reactions that people have to these and other natural materials that some mattresses are made from. Neither does aeration or oxygenation appear anywhere on their radar and they happily sell mattresses with spring systems within it, which attract and amplify radio frequency radiation and often are magnetic as well.
For you to buy a GEOVITAL mattress without having seen or touched it in the home of a friend or family member does require a little leap of faith, but given the alternative of going to a bedding store where you know you will only get a mattress that represents a health burden, it is a small leap of faith to take.
Adore it or exchange it guarantee
Many years ago when we realised in our Australian office that everyone who purchased a GEOVITAL mattress had been absolutely delighted, we made a bold decision to create an Adored or Exchange it Guarantee. This meant that clients in Australia and New Zealand could purchase a Theravital or Vitallind mattress, take possession, and if they didn’t adore it within 90 days they could send it back to our office in Melbourne and exchange it for a different model or exchange it for EMF radiation shielding products.
Which pillow should I purchase?
Many people have more than one pillow on their bed and slowly figure out what their favourite pillow is but if you’re in doubt on which model of pillow to choose to compliment your mattress purchase with, then let’s give you some ideas.
The massage pillow
Was designed for those people who predominantly sleep with their face in their pillow and in that case we are most likely talking about people who are predominant belly sleepers. The texture of the foam inside the pillow provides a change of pressure on the face which aids circulation.
The Therapy Next Support Pillow
Most people are back and side sleepers for which the Therapy Next Support Pillow is perfect, and this is probably the reason why it has been our most popular pillow for many years. This pillow features a bulge that goes under the neck and it even has a 2 1/2 cm or 1 inch foam insert that can be removed to make the pillow less thick.
Our pillows may not seem as thick as traditional pillows but that is because they are made to be the perfect combination with the person sleeping on our mattresses which have the correct firmness for them. As their shoulders and shoulder blades are able to go into the mattress, we don’t need a pillow that is that thick.
If you were only going to pick one pillow for you and you are not a belly sleeper than the safest bet for you is to go with our most popular Neck Support Therapy pillow.
All our pillows are made from the same foam and cover materials as our mattresses and therefore make the perfect combination for our mattresses, and help you to especially avoid intolerance issues.
Choosing the right mattress and pillow can make a world of difference in your sleep quality, overall health, and daily energy.
By understanding the different sizes, firmness levels, materials, and support options, you can make informed decisions that suit your personal needs and preferences.
Remember, what works for someone else might not work for you—sleep is deeply personal. Take the time to test, adjust, and invest in the products that provide comfort and support for your body. Your sleep is worth it.
Sleep well, wake refreshed, and let your mattress and pillow work for you every night.
