5 Ways Your Mattress Is Wrecking Your Sleep and Health

5 Ways Your Mattress Is Wrecking Your Sleep and Health

Weakened immune system, weight gain, cardiovascular issues, inflammation, mood disorders, impaired physical performance, increased risk of accidents, hormonal imbalances… all consequences of disrupted sleep quality.

Sleeping on a poor quality or old mattress can significantly impact sleep quality for many reasons:  

  1. Lack of Support

Support is essential to any healthy relationship, not excluding the relationship you have with your mattress. A good, healthy mattress supports natural spine alignment. When spine alignment is disrupted, it may lead to discomfort, muscle tension as well as back pain, preventing you from relaxing and entering the deep sleep required to be fully rested.
  1. Pressure Points

Your old mattress is unlikely to be distributing your body weight evenly, leading to increased pressure on areas such as the hips and shoulders. Unsurprisingly, this leads to discomfort and may restrict blood flow, leaving you tossing and turning all night long.

  1. Motion Transfer

With wear and tear of material from an old or poor-quality mattress, motion may not be effectively absorbed. This means all that tossing and turning your better half is doing is sure to disrupt your sleep.

  1. Allergens and Dust Mites

Inevitably, over time, mattresses accumulate allergens, dust mites, and other microorganisms that can impact air quality and potentially trigger allergies. A mattress that is not regularly cleaned or made of hypoallergenic materials may contribute to respiratory issues and disrupt sleep.

  1. Temperature Regulation

For optimal sleep quality, our bodies efficiently regulate our internal temperature. A poor-quality mattress is likely to trap heat, leading to overheating and disruption of our natural temperature regulation process.

 

5 Factors of A Good Mattress

  1. Support

Different types of mattresses offer varying levels of support, depending on firmness, materials and construction. For those seeking the perfect combination of support and bounce, look no further than our Pocket Coil mattresses. They feature individually wrapped coils that respond independently to your body’s movements while maintaining utmost comfort.

  1. Comfort

Firm (hard), Cushion Firm (medium), or Plush (soft) are the 3 main comfort levels of mattresses. Comfort is not to be confused with support level, as support comes from the innerspring or core of the mattresses. Comfort is subjective - go ahead, be picky!

  1. Temperature Regulation

Providing our bodies with optimal conditions for temperature regulation as we sleep provides health benefits such as improving the quality of REM sleep and reducing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. ViscoGel memory foam keeps your temperature regulated all night long.
