How many hours do you sleep at night? Is it 6 or 8? Well, while most people may not know this, it is a fact that we spend about one-third of our lives sleeping. Yes, that's true. It's also known that in order to function properly, one needs to get the right amount of sleep every night. And while sleep hygiene is important, what also matters is choosing the right mattress. If you invest in the right one, it can work for you for as long as 8-12 years. So, on this World Sleep Day, ensure that you sleep on the right mattress.



Just like Goldilocks couldn't sleep until she was on the right bear's mattress, if you pick one that is made from foam, it could be too soft and won't give enough support to your entire body. And on the other hand, if you pick something with springs it will only support your shoulders and your hips. The rest of your body will be left out and this might actually just worsen your back problems. Researchers recommend that you should use a natural mattress made out of rubber tree sap as it can contour to your body's shape, thus providing it complete support.



It is also important that you choose the right technology. Talalay latex makes sure that there's breathability and support for your body. It also comes with climate control technology so you can stay cool during summers and warm during winters. Plus, the insulation in it makes the sleeping surface temperature 21 degrees Celsius which is ideal to sleep on. Take these tips into consideration and pick the right mattress for yourself. Stay tuned for more updates.
