Is your mattress giving you sleepless nights

Anand Nichani

Ever wake up feeling like you wrestled a bear all night? Your mattress could be the culprit. A good mattress is an investment in your health and well-being, but even the most comfortable mattress breaks down over time. How can you tell when it’s time for a change, and what should you look for in a new one?

Signs It’s Time to Say Goodbye
• The Sag Factor: Notice dips and valleys where you usually sleep. This is a telltale sign of a mattress losing its elasticity. Uneven support can lead to back pain and restless sleep.
• Stiffness and Soreness: Do you wake up feeling like a rusty hinge? Your mattress might not be providing the proper support for your muscles and joints.
• Sleeping Hot: Is your bed a furnace in the summer? Poor air circulation can trap heat and disrupt sleep.
• Allergy Attack? Dust mites love mattresses. Your old mattress could harbour these allergens if you wake up sniffling and sneezing.
• Sleepless Nights: Chronic back pain or difficulty getting comfortable can be signs your mattress is no longer promoting deep sleep.

Finding Your Perfect Match
A good mattress should feel like a warm hug. Below are some guidelines to help you discover the ideal mattress for your needs:
• Support System: Choose a mattress that offers the right balance of firmness and comfort for your sleeping style (back, side, or stomach). Consider tech-advanced, patented memoform mattress options known for pressure-point relief and superior body contouring.
• Breathability is Key: Look for materials that promote air circulation to keep you cool and comfortable, consider mattresses made of fabrics that are Q-Max Cool tested and are proven to offer cooling even at 40 degrees.
• Allergy Relief: Opt for a mattress with a hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, and anti-dust mite cover for a cleaner sleep environment.
• Sweet Dreams Start Here: Consider a mattress with advanced features like pressure-point relief and spinal alignment technology for a truly refreshing sleep experience. Look for mattresses with patented stretch core materials that promote spinal decompression and improved blood circulation.

Invest in Your Sleep
Your mattress is an essential part of your sleep sanctuary. Don’t wait until backaches and sleepless nights become the norm. By recognising the signs and choosing the right mattress, you can create an environment promoting deep, rejuvenating sleep for years.
