| To have a great day, you must have a great morning... and to have a great morning you must have a restful sleep. This is true for everybody. Sleep affects our daily lives. If we don’t get enough sleep we tend to be cranky and moody which we carry throughout the day.
A lot of studies have already proven that a well-rested person tends to respond better under stress than a person who lacks sleep. There are a lot of factors that could affect the way we sleep. One major factor that affect our sleeping pattern is the bed we sleep on.
There are different types of beds available for us to choose from, all of them claiming to be the best. The most common type of mattress that had been around for ages is the innerspring type. A innerspring type mattress is very comfortable to use if it is new, but as time goes by it tends to become lumpy and very uncomfortable.
Another type of mattress commonly used is the air mattress. Air mattresses have also become progressively more popular due to the interesting concept of being able to change the feel of your mattress with a control. With air mattresses you can change both sides of the bed to a different firmness. Unfortunately, an air mattress has many parts that can and often do break.
Also an equally popular type of mattress is the Latex Foam. The latex foam mattress has high elasticity or resiliency that would actually push back against the pressure being exerted on it. It would give you the comfortable feeling that you feel when using a brand new spring mattress. Latex foam also has another advantage because it allows air to pass
through it. This is the reason why it is used for making infant pillows and beds. The only disadvantage of latex foam is that it does not give you the complete rest you need, due to the pressure it exerts against your body during sleep.
A new type of mattress that's being introduced to the market is the memory foam mattress. Memory foam mattresses are visco-elastic and therefore able to conform to a person's shape, but then return to a normal shape once pressure was removed from the foam. This allows an even distribution of pressure or body weight over the entire surface of the foam, but quickly adapt to any movements of the body. A visco-elastic memory foam mattress is also bacteria free because it is actually a mixture of latex and synthetic polyurethane. It is well known that latex is a material that allows air to pass through it making bacterial growth impossible. Another reason why memory foam mattress is better than others is because it is actually temperature sensitive. It responds to the temperature of your body therefore giving you uninterrupted sleep.
So if you want to make everyday a great day, go ahead and try a memory foam mattress. I can assure you that you would never want to go back to your old bed. I know that memory foam mattresses can cost more than obsolete innerspring mattresses, so I've included on this page some eBay listings with great prices! EBay's the best place to get a great deal on a memory foam mattress, so you too can wake up on the right side of the bed every morning! |
