Quality of Sleep
The research shows that choosing the right mattress in terms of tension and firmness can directly impact your comfort and therefore quality of sleep. A medium-firm mattress promotes comfort, supports the spine and in turn provides good quality sleep.
Alongside the tension of the mattress, the topper of the mattress is important. Latex and gel topped mattresses not only provide a soft comfortable layer above a firm mattress, but they also provide a cool layer ensuring a pleasant night’s sleep as temperature control technology is linked with good quality sleep.
REM Sleep
Sleep cycles are a vital component of getting a good night’s rest.
One of the most important stages of the sleep cycle is the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage. The first stage of the sleep cycle comes with the non-REM sleep, followed by a shorter period of REM sleep and then the cycle starts again. During REM sleep you are in light sleep, your heart rate slows, your body temperature drops and you experience muscle paralysis.
The reason REM sleep is so important is that it sets you up for the deep sleep stage, it is also the period in which we dream. Owning a mattress that suits not only your body type but also your sleep style can ensure that you experience optimal sleep leaving you feeling fresh and well-rested every morning.
