Ok so a mattress is a mattress is a mattress...right?
Well yes ...and no.
A good night's sleep, or a good day's sleep for those who work nights, is about one of the most important things in our daily lives. It should happen every day, for a significant chunk of the day and result in the body, mind and soul being rejuvenated.
Apart from your housing situation, your body's general health and a happy resistance to insomnia the most significant thing that stands in between you and a good sleep is the mattress you sleep on.
A good mattress is a place where we can rest our heads and forget all the trouble of our day, if only for a few hours, and retreat safely into the world of dreams. A bad mattress can get in the way of all this and our time of dream becomes a nightmare.
It's generally accepted by experts that mattresses should be replaced every 10 years. Components in the mattress can wear down and your body will begin to show signs of back and neck problems, ensuring a poor sleep and a grumpy tomorrow.
If you're concerned about chemicals in your home then mattresses made of natural fibres are available as alternatives to traditional inner spring mattresses. The latter are usually constructed from man-made materials that can emit chemicals. The trade-off is usually softness. Inner springs are generally softer but, if aired properly, cotton and wool mattresses can be very comfortable.
A suitable base also contributes to the quality of sleep. Some bases have extra springs while others are simply a wooden box wrapped up in fabric. Slat bases, traditionally used with cotton or wool mattresses also come with different options. Some may have fixed, inflexible slats while others spring with the addition of rubber.
Choosing the right mattress is integral to your the quality of your daily life and can certainly contribute to having a truly enriched day.
