How Your Mattress
Affects Your
Night's Sleep
WE all require different things from our mattress. Some people prefer it to be firm, some soft, others in-between; everyone is different. The one thing we all need is a comfortable sleeping surface as this is what gets us to sleep.
Comfort and health.
One problem we can face is that while our bed may be perfectly comfortable in the position we sleep in, there is a possibility that the position we sleep in isn’t good for our health. And this can lead to aches and pains in the future as well as other complications. So time is needed to consider all options available to you in order to find the perfect mattress and position.
Size does matter!
The popular saying “size doesn’t matter” is something very true in terms of your bed and mattress. It needs to be large enough to keep us comforted through all the fidgeting we may do when we are asleep. Be sure to select the correct size of mattress.
Good circulation and a longer life.
One thing many people think is that the human body should be sleeping perfectly flat, this is very much not the case, quite the contrary in fact which is why mattresses make sure our curves press into them and become accommodated. For people with seriously conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, circulation needs to be at its maximum for the whole night so it is very important to find the correct mix to achieve this.
Clean the pillows and mattress too!
It's very common for people to neglect the cleanliness of the mattress and pillows, washing only the bedding itself. This can lead to infestations like dust-mites which will move into our mattress and pillows causing havoc as we try to sleep. Mattresses should be taken care of correctly and replaced every 8-10 years in order to prevent things like this occurring.
Always remember that sleep is one of the most important things the human being needs in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle in everything we do in our day to day lives. We spend around a 1/3 of our life sleeping so it’s important that the sleep we do receive is of a high quality. If not there could be some unpleasnt consequences to our health!
