How to Select a Mattress

Why Selecting the Right Mattress is Important

Ideally, 7 to 8 hours is invested each day in sleeping. The "sleeping third" of your life has a powerful influence on the quality of the other two thirds.  While sleeping, your body and your mind go through different stages of sleep.  Interruptions to your sleep may prevent you from getting into that 'stage four' or 'stage five' level in which your mind is rejuvenated.  

          It's hard to get out of bed in the morning.

          You don't feel fully rested.

          You may experience a foggy headache.

          You may get drowsy when you sit throughout the day.

          Your personal and work productivity may suffer.

          You experience memory lapses.

Side-Sleepers:  Pressure on your shoulder and/or hip may…

 …cut off blood flow, creating soreness and numbness.

  …prevent proper spinal alignment, straining muscles and tendons

Back- or Belly-Sleepers:  

Inner-spring mattresses usually include a concentration of springs in the center third of the mattress, where most of the body weight is.  Insufficient support may allow the middle of your mattress to sag, which allows your spine to sag as well.  Improper alignment strains muscles and tendons; particularly damaging when the position is prolonged for hours.

Sleeping on a great mattress (great for you) can help you rest more deeply, and awaken more rested.  

PS.  Did you know that sleeping on your left side can help reduce heartburn, and even acid reflux?
