The Covid-19 crisis is being a disaster for health, for the economy, for our social life … But it is having a positive aspect, to call it something, in our first homes. We are spending a lot more time on them than usual, we are seeing possible improvements to make at home, we are carrying out some of the simplest ones and planning others for when the lack of confidence arrives.
It is not that before we did not see that there was something at home that could be improved, but between the fact that we had less time to be in it and that we preferred to spend money on other things such as going out or traveling, we always left many of those changes for another time, including the pillow and mattress renovations of the bedrooms.
The reality is that in recent years With online sales and the latest generation materials, mattress brands have multiplied and prices, in general, have become very affordable. There are still high-priced mattresses, but with reasonable budgets we can get good-quality mattresses such as the Bed Story mattress in the cover photo, which in size of 90 x 190 cm costs on Amazon 115.69 euros.
Mattresses
When choosing a mattress, the first thing is to be clear about the level of firmness we want and the constitution. Personally, my thing is the pocket springs, but the theme of the rest is very personal and not all of us do well with the same type of sleeping mattress. At Amazon we find infinity of options including some especially interesting for hygiene and disinfection issues such as viscrographen, the mattress of the image on these lines costs, in 150×190 cm, 219 euros.
Imperial Deluxe Viscograph Mattress All Sizes 150×190
In memory foam mattress we find quite a variety and very significant price differences, even focusing on the best valued models. For example, the Senator mattress costs only 129.99 euros and the Sapphire Sleep model 256.68 euros, which is still a very reasonable price.
Going back to viscographen We also find the Helsinki model from Imperial Confort for 189.99 euros, made in Spain, which adapts to the contour of the body and is suitable for all types of bases including both bed bases and couches.

And also of pocket springs combined with memory foam from Gomarco, you can get a mattress from 401 euros with a 30% discount. But if we prefer only memory foam from Amazon Basics we have it in width of 1.60 meters for 208.99 euros.

There are other articles, within this same product line, that may also be of interest to us, such as roll-up pad from El Corte Inglés for 69.95 euros or a mattress protector Amazon Basics that for the 150 cm measurement that we handle costs 41.49 euros.
Pillows
If we focus on pillows, the variety is even greater and here again the first thing to be clear about is the type of material with which we feel most comfortable. Some prefer high pillow, others prefer low And there is no single criterion that is the best, which is precisely why there are so many models for sale. One of the cheapest is the El Corte Inglés low pillow for only 8 euros, but by raising the range a little more we can renew the pair of large bed pillows with the Aloe Vera set by Velfont for 27.95 euros, now with a 30% discount.
