 - Before buying the cot &mattress ensure that they are suitable to  your     height &weight. 

- Many varieties of mattress are available in the market. Foam, coir or    blended ones and many customised options are also on the move. Ensure to   buy the one that is more comfortable &convenient.

- Pillows too should be of reasonable height &thickness. Make sure to place  your neck properly &the pillow should support your neck in the right  way.
