How To Treat Insomnia - Time to Try a Softer Mattress!

There exists a perennial myth and it can that firm mattresses are actually great for your backside, and as we learn how to treat sleeplessness it's worth noting that this myth is also stopping a lot of us from getting that which we desperately need... Deep restorative sleep.

The firmer the mattress, the greater the pressure physique against what is in essence a non-yielding surface, and it will wake up you up! Most of us are side sleepers and In a vain attempt to relieve shoulder joint pressure, and whether were consciously aware of it or not, on a firm mattress we turn from shoulder to shoulder joint all night long. This kind of regular movement radically interferes with our natural sleep circuit and we wake almost never, when, refreshed and ready for the new day. Does that sound like you?

Traditionally, and heading all the way again the past hundred years or so, what was looked at as a high quality mattress was constructed using heavy gauge springs protected in layers of experienced and horse hair, and the complete bed was finally clad with sumptuous materials some quilted, some not. The better variety's were so rigidly made that they did not drop at the center. Sagging mattresses then as now, did indeed play a role in recurring back pain. Hence the idea that a firm mattress was better for you. The cheaper these mattresses were the more likely these people were to deteriorate quickly. We were holding the worst, hard and sagging all at the same time. Mattress manufacturers addressed these issues with the advent of sincerely quilted Pillow Tops. Designed to 'soften the blow', Pillow Tops, did the job but eventually the loose quilting would produce a deep body impression every one of its own and we were back in square one.

So hard mattress (lots of pressure but lasts) or soft (great at first but breaks down over time)?

It Does not Have To Be Like that Any More!

It's the 21st Century now and things have radically altered in the bedding business. So maybe it's time to think about turning to a modern polyurethane foam mattress. With this in mind, the next time you go shopping for a pickup bed you may notice that a whole lot of sleeping science has been included in the progress modern-day spring-less mattresses. The very best examples contain highly engineered modern foams that will temporarily contour exactly to your exact body condition while you are sleeping and yet maintain their original flat oblong condition when you are not. No long lasting body impressions will stay.

Today you have a huge range of foam beds with price points from reasonably inexpensive to somewhat luxurious. How would you choose? Rule of thumb, ask lots of questions, one of them being "Where is the foam material in this bed manufactured? If the bed contains imported foams they were likely made in China. Frequently Oriental foams have been seen to use formaldehyde as a means of curing the finished product. Sometimes you just don't know therefore i would avoid the 'too good to be true' inexpensive memory foam products and instead choose a bed with its key materials produced in the USA. They are going to last, holder you in blissful comfort, and will also have been stringently tested for toxicity and fire reductions.
