Good healthy sleep
Good quality sleep is associated with improved mood, appetite regulation and stress management. Good sleep is also vital for maintaining memory. But are we all getting the quality sleep we need?
Sleeping better
Just like proper diet and exercise, a good night’s sleep is essential to your mental, emotional and physical health. Yet many people just do not get the recommended amount of sleep (7.5 – 8.5hrs) needed each night to perform their best during the day.
If you sacrifice sleep you’ll wake up to the consequences including difficulty concentrating, increased irritability, weakened immune system and even higher stress.
But a healthier night’s sleep is possible. In fact, better sleep can be as simple as sleeping on a better mattress!
Get support
A mattress and foundation must support the body at all points with the spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture.
Ask the salesperson if they can show you illustrated or actual “cutaways” of the interior of the different mattress and foundation choices so you can see what’s inside. Comfort layers and spring configurations vary creating lots of individual choice. Shop for your balance of comfort and support, durability and value.
