From suspending all tech use an hour before bedtime, to getting more exercise during the day, there are many things we can do to help us get a better night’s sleep.
Perhaps one of the biggest influences on our quality of shut-eye, though, is our mattress. It definitely has a lot to answer for, and picking the right one pays in many different ways beyond sleep.
In this blog, our experts at TV Bed discuss the reasons why choosing the right mattress matters, and share some of our top recommendations for the most comfortable night’s rest.
Why is a good night’s sleep so important?
It’s no secret how vital a good night’s sleep is.
As an adult, you should be getting between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night to help your body recover from the day’s stresses, and to help prepare your body for the day that awaits.
Not getting enough shut-eye can result in mood swings (or low mood in general), reduced focus, weakened immunity, and even long-term health problems like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
So, how can my mattress impact the quality of my sleep?
As we’ve touched upon, your mattress can have a huge impact on the quality of your sleep in a number of different ways, which can include:
Spinal support and alignment
A good mattress has a huge influence on how well your spine aligns during sleep, keeping it in a neutral position and relieving pressure on your back, hips, and shoulders.
An old, sagging mattress doesn’t offer nearly half as much support, and can lead to restless nights, muscle strain, and over time, chronic pain, making it more difficult to drift off.
Pressure point relief
Some types of mattresses, particularly those made with memory foam, help distribute your weight more evenly, which helps to relieve built-up pressure in sensitive areas like the shoulders, hips, lower back, and knees.
Temperature regulation
The importance of a cool environment for sleep should never be underestimated, and some mattresses are made with built-in technology to help you better control and maintain your body temperature by allowing airflow and preventing overheating.
Pain relief
If you struggle with back, neck, and joint pain, a good orthopaedic mattress could be the answer to all your problems. By helping you correct your posture, a supportive mattress will help alleviate pain and ensure a better night’s sleep.
Allergy control
If you’re an allergy sufferer, be it in summer or year-round, a hypoallergenic mattress made with latex or other memory foam could be a huge help. This material is great for resisting dust and other allergens, and contributes to a much healthier sleeping environment.
How do I choose the right mattress?
The right mattress for you depends on several different factors, from your body type, weight, and sleeping position, to your budget and any unique features you’d like your mattress to have.
