Getting A New Mattress Can Affect Your Health

Getting a new mattress can affect your health

 Sleeping on a new mattress that offers sufficient and effective support will surely ensure you a restful sleep. More importantly, it will also greatly reduce and help avoid the long-term pain that was most likely caused by sleeping on your old mattress. Here's what happens: An ancient sleeping surface loses its density or support over time, leading to a misalignment of the spine while you sleep. As your spine, neck, and hips twist to accommodate this, it causes spasms and pain that keep you awake. Not only does it keep you awake, but it also makes it harder for your body to go into deep sleep, or REM, as it's called. This stage of sleep is crucial for muscle recovery, memory retention, mental alertness, your immune system, and your mood. The health benefits offered by the new mattress can be attributed to the genius of modern mattress technology and design. Mattresses manufactured today are designed to support sleep and overall health. Making mattresses with much less "firm surface/filling" - incorporating air pockets, memory foam, latex, etc., rather than sponges and springs - makes this possible. The science behind this is that it helps avoid and/or stop possible stress points (caused by tossing and turning during the evening) from occurring.

Along with the latter benefit, new mattress designs are also aimed at improving the overall support it provides to your body while you sleep. This can significantly reduce or even eliminate any stiffness or discomfort in your joints and ensure that your spine is always aligned and there is no pressure when undressing. In addition to quality sleep every night, the new mattress offers other benefits that are especially noticeable during the day. By not struggling to get and stay comfortable at night, getting a good night's sleep can lead to a healthy and joyful day. Another benefit of a good night's rest is supporting the immune system, which helps prevent colds and flu. So now you're convinced it's time to shop for that new bed or mattress, but the overwhelming selection of beds, mattresses, and bedroom furniture on the market can be quite daunting! This purchase will cost you a few pennies, so take the time to do your research and speak with a mattress expert at a reputable bed retailer near you before making your final decision. Also, ensure you understand the warranty and return guarantees in case you are unsatisfied with your purchase.
