All You Should Know About Memory Foam Mattress

By Home Style Furniture

Does your body ache every morning? Are you restless and sleepless? A memory foam mattress can help remedy these problems and make the day feel better. Lucky for you, the memory foam invented by NASA 50 years ago to protect astronauts is now used in mattresses. When you lie on a memory foam mattress, its soft foam adjusts to every part of your body from head to foot. The temperature-sensitive material distributes body weight evenly and reduces pain. If you suffer with back, neck, hip and joint pain, mattress brands like Ashley-Sleep®, Tempur-Pedic® and other premium brands are perfect for you. They adapt to your body so you can rest easy in personalized comfort. Add an adjustable base and with the touch of a button, you’ll discover that perfect ergonomic position. In addition to pain relief, there are five more great health benefits of memory foam mattresses.

HELPS EASE SLEEP APNEA

When a memory foam mattress and pillow are used together, your head will be properly elevated. This helps clear the path to easier breathing because your airways are no longer obstructed.

HELPS ALLERGY SUFFERERS

There’s nothing to sneeze at with memory foam. Since these mattresses are made of polyurethane foam, the interior of your mattress will always be free of allergy-causing dust mites. By eliminating one of the major allergens, these mattresses can also help control asthma. 

IMPROVES METABOLISM

If your partner constantly tosses and turns, you’ll never know it with a memory foam mattress. The foam isolates all motion and you’ll enjoy uninterrupted sleep. This will positively impact your metabolism, which may in turn help you lose weight, deal with daily stress and improve your overall health.

PROVIDES PROPER SPINAL ALIGNMENT

Contouring support provided by a memory foam mattress keeps the back aligned and delivers pressure-relieving comfort while you sleep. This helps with preventing back pain and future spinal problems. As time goes on, these mattresses are less likely to sag and lose shape, so your back will not suffer.

Choosing the Right Mattress for You

By Home Style Furniture

Mattresses – making the most of your sleep:

The difference between a foam mattress and a spring mattress might make all the difference if you’re having trouble sleeping. Did you know that the average person spends approximately 30% of their life sleeping? This means that the importance of a supportive mattress is imperative to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Why? How you sleep will directly affect how you feel and go about your daily activities. Therefore, it would be wise to say that you need to make the most of your sleep! Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a memory foam mattress vs. a spring mattress;

Facts about spring mattresses:

·         It seems that one of the main reasons that springs are still being used in mattresses is because it is very inexpensive!  

·         Spring mattresses only give the illusion that they are supportive and comfortable, but they not provide sufficient pressure point relief.

·         Proper support with a spring mattress is not possible because one’s body does not push evenly on the coils.

·         A spring mattress loses about 16% of its firmness within the first year, but they can last about 10+ years.

Facts about foam mattresses:

·         With a foam mattress, pressure points are reduced, which in turn reduces tossing and turning – the leading cause of poor sleep. However, if you’re going to opt for a spring mattress, the firmer it is, the better.

·         Memory foam mattresses do not need to be flipped unlike spring mattresses. There is no maintenance required.

·         Allergies are significantly reduced with memory foam mattresses, as dust mites can only live on the surface and not on the inside of a solid block of foam.

·         Memory foam mattresses are temperature sensitive – this means the foam takes time to adjust to your body. The colder the room, the longer the mattress will take to adjust or recover its shape.

Now that you have the facts, you can decide which mattress suits your needs, if your budget permits you to make the choice.

by Home Style Furniture

Wonder why you can’t sleep? The problem may be rooted in factors you may have never thought of. Get better sleep from our 10 sleep tips.

1. GET BETTER SLEEP BY INVESTING IN YOUR COMFORT

Is your room comfortable? Whether that means splurging on egyptian cotton sheets, purchasing blackout curtains or picking the perfect mattress – investing in your comfort is a must for getting better sleep.

2. SLEEP ON A GOOD MATTRESS

Sleeping on a good mattress can make all the difference in getting better sleep. When you sleep on an uncomfortable bed, you are more likely to  shift your weight during sleep. This may create pressure on your shoulders, back and hips, preventing you from receiving restorative sleep.

3. TURN OFF ELECTRONICS

Quiet the room. Turn off the TV and give that laptop a break! Research suggests that media use before bedtime interferes with getting better sleep.

4. MANAGE STRESS

Get organized, set priorities and delegate tasks. List what’s on your mind before trying to sleep and set it aside for the next day.

5. CONTROL ALLERGIES

Use mattress and pillow covers to keep allergens, such as pet dander and dust mites at bay. Get a vacuum or air purifier with a HEPA filter and replace the air filter in your furnace monthly.

6. WATCH WHAT YOU EAT & DRINK

Enjoy a healthy snack an hour before bed. Avoid sleeping on a full stomach. Limit how much you drink so you won’t have to use the restroom. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

7. CREATE A BEDTIME RITUAL

Get in bed and wake up at the same time each day. Before sleep, take a warm bath or shower, read a book or listen to soothing music. Once you figure out a routine, stick to it – even on weekends!

8. EXERCISE

Do physical activities early in the day to enhance your ability to fall asleep fast and get better sleep. Don’t exercise close to bedtime because you may get too energized.

9. DAYLIGHT MATTERS

Use bright lights or sunlight during the day to manage your circadian rhythms (or body clock). Enjoy sunlight in the morning and avoid bright light in the evening.

10. SET THE SCENE

Keep the room cool between 65°F and 75°F and use room darkening shades. Spritz your pillow with a mix of lavender, chamomile or ylang-ylang oil drops and water.
