In Need Of A Restful Night’s Sleep
Author : Joyce Mack
Some mornings I wake up feeling as if I’ve just gone several rounds with Mike Tyson. My body feels so bruised, I’m amazed I’m not black and blue all over. It’s been going on for weeks now and my tossing and turning and moaning and groaning has driven my husband to sleep in the spare room! When I told my friend about this she said just one word “Mattress”!
She told me about memory foam pillows and mattresses, which are rapidly growing in popularity. These mould themselves to the contours of the body to give natural support to your posture so that you sleep in the perfect position. They are constructed from a substance called visco-elastic, which apparently was developed by the NASA scientists back in the sixties, when they need to improve comfort and safety for the astronauts during lift-off and landing. The foam tailors itself to the body for even support and weight distribution, without causing any pressure points.
This visco-elastic is fixed to a base made of polyurethane foam which lets air flow between the layers to keep it buoyant and resilient. The mattresses are used in numerous hospitals and nursing homes and are especially helpful for patients who are immobile after surgery or serious illness because they do not cause pressure points. These mattresses have been great favourites with the Americans and our northern European neighbours, so it’s about time we caught up with trends.
There are some real advantages to these mattresses as they are lightweight and do not require turning in the same way that regular mattresses do. In laboratory tests, they were shown to reduce nightly tossing and turning due to an uncomfortable sleeping position by over 80%. They are also anti-bacterial and anti- allergenic, which makes them extremely useful for people with asthma or dust-mite allergies.
My friend had had her mattresses for nearly a year and she told me how cosy and warm they are in winter as they act like a cocoon, keeping in body heat. However, she did say her husband sometimes found the mattress too warm in the summer. It is the way the foam reacts to body temperature that enables them to mould to the body’s contours and for which the material gets the name ‘memory foam’. This moulding can, however, restrict movement and may even cause slight difficulty if you try to get out of bed suddenly.
I was already very excited about the prospect of a memory foam mattress and even more so when I discovered that I would not have to replace my entire bed - which is king-size. The mattresses come in a wide array of sizes to fit any bed frame providing it allows for ventilation. You can also choose from a range of depths.
The memory foam pillows work in the same way as the mattresses, moulding to the shape of your head and neck so that you sleep in the correct position for you. They are very good for relieving aching neck and shoulder muscles and sounded exactly what I needed. My friend told me that since using a memory foam pillow, her husband’s snoring had decreased considerably!
Well, armed with all this information, you can imagine how eager I was to get online and start ordering. There are many stockists of memory foam pillows and mattresses so it’s worth looking around for the best deals. I can hardly wait for mine to arrive so that I can start enjoying that relaxing night’s sleep I’ve been so desperate for.
