Go to bed
and sleep if you want to be productive. Sounds counterintuitive? Not really. Everything
in this world needs rest. Even our gadgets and appliances need it, otherwise,
they might stop working the right way. So, why would we humans not invest on a
restful sleep? When we’re groggy and tired, our mind doesn’t function at its
best. The body may feel so sluggish as well. So, if you want to be looking,
feeling, and functioning at your best, then give yourself the right amount of
sleep. Yup, eight hours straight without interruption!
Sad to
say, we are not getting the right quality and amount of sleep that we deserve
because of some circumstances. One of the culprits why you keep tossing and you
just can’t fall and stay asleep is that poor old mattress. Let me ask you a
question. How long have you and your mattress been together? 10 years? 12? 15? While
some mattresses may last a lifetime or may still look okay after a decade,
experts say that you should ditch it on or before it ages 10 years. Read more
about that here.
This
2018, whether you’re about to change your current mattress or you’re buying a brand-new
bed, it is important to choose something that’s best for you. But how will you
know if it’s the best one?
Know the kind of sleeper that you are.
Of
course, not all mattresses are the same. Not all would be perfect for you. There’s
a good reason why there’s a variety when it comes to how these mattresses are
designed. One mattress is specially designed for a certain type of sleeper
while some are specially made for other types.
So, know
the kind of sleeper that you are. This way, you will be able to determine which
mattress can give your body the kind of support that it needs while lying on
bed for hours. For example, if you’re a side sleeper, you may want a softer
memory foam-like mattress that perfectly contours the body and gives great
support for the shoulder and hips. On the other hand, it’s best to have a
firmer mattress that gives utmost comfort and ease for stomach sleepers.
Why is
this important anyway? Choosing the mattress that’s specially made for your
preferred sleeping position could reduce the likelihood of discomfort and
waking up from cramps and body pain.
Consider the climate in the place where you
live.
Some
mattresses trap heat, so if you tend to have higher body temperature and you
live in a humid climate, this will compromise the quality and amount of sleep
you’ll get each night. You need to check if this is the downside of that mattress
you’re eyeing for. If it is, then it would be wise to search for another
mattress that’s designed to have a special cooling technology.
Temperature
is crucial if you want to fall and stay asleep. Either too cold or too hot will
make this impossible. The ideal mattress is both cool and cozy.
Check reviews and comparisons before
buying.
Choosing
a product to buy can be tricky, especially if you don’t have an idea what’s the
ideal one like for your situation and lifestyle. Always ask for opinions and tips
from the know-hows. You can also easily find honest reviews about different
mattresses from the site The Mattress
review- best mattresses for 2018.
Check
comparisons of the various brands. Know what customers say about them—the pros,
cons, and whether it’s worth the price or not. When you do so, you’ll avoid
rushing to buy a mattress that you wouldn’t like in the long-run or something
that’s not worth the price.
Prioritize quality over price.
What will
you do with a cheap mattress that would only give you discomfort, keep you
sweaty all night, and give you constant body aches? Man, it’s not worth it. You’re
wasting more money than what you think. Don’t mind the price too much. Look for
something that fits your budget, yet topnotch in quality—something that’s
suitable for you.
A good
mattress is one of the keys to have the best sleep each night. Choose wisely.
