Mattress, Beds: The Importance of a Good Night's Sleep
How important is a good mattress? Beds should be the most important piece of furniture you own – especially when you consider the importance of a good night's sleep.
You may not give much thought to the comfort of your mattress – beds are all too often taken for granted. And yet a good quality mattress and bed can improve the quality of your sleep, support your back, and become a place of ultimate relaxation, rather than a source of anxiety and stress. Being unable to nod off can cause huge anxiety – we all know how a good night's sleep helps us the next day. But if you're stressed about a meeting, interview or travel arrangements the next day it can be hard to relax, no matter how comfortable your mattress.
Mattress, Beds and Well Being
Getting a good night's sleep however is crucial to our health and well-being and can impact on our careers and relationships. Research shows night workers with interrupted sleep patterns are not only prone to suffer serious accidents but also experience a higher divorce rate (estimated at 60%). How we perform in life and in work is impacted by how much sleep we get. Mattress and beds are more important places than perhaps some of us realise. And as well as taking steps to ensure we don't mess with natural sleep patterns (such as switching work shifts), and dealing with stress (diet changes, cutting out alcohol), we should also take time to consider our mattress. Beds need changing after so many years and mattresses become disfigured over time, losing their supportive qualities and comfort. As well as ditching the old worn out mattress, new beds can help get rid of dust mites that accumulate over the years and, some research suggests, could be linked to asthma and allergies.
A Quality Mattress: Sweet Dreams
A good night's sleep has always been important in our lives, helping us achieve a balanced state of mind and body. But now, sleep experts say we are more vulnerable to poor sleep due to the demands of a 24/7 society and culture. We're not spending enough time on our mattress and beds, and are being kept awake by lifestyles and distractions. Psychiatrists fear this could greatly impact on stress levels – it's never been harder to have a lie in, do nothing and simply relax and hit the pillow early. Even on holidays, more people are taking their mobiles, laptops and work with them, so they never truly relax on their hotel mattress or sun beds.
By not getting a good night's sleep and spending a good eight hours on your mattress and in bed, you're at risk of feeling old before your time as stress takes its toll.
