Why You Need to Read Mattress Warranty Details

I recently spoke with a man who was looking into the Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress, as well as the memory foam mattress of another mattress company.  There were differences in the way they were made, pricing, company longevity, and the usual things that separates Healthy Foundations from other companies, but the biggest “gotcha” from this company is their warranty.  Buyer beware, as I always say.

A Natural Latex Mattress or A Memory Foam Mattress?

I see this question quite a bit on the web.  Should you choose a natural latex mattress or a memory foam mattress?  It’s the biggest question since Ginger or MaryAnne or Freddy versus Jason.  The problem with the memory foam mattress versus natural latex mattress question is that the only one who can answer it is you.  It’s just like Ginger or MaryAnne – both are great, it’s just a matter of preference.  (Freddy versus Jason can have an actual winner, but who knows who that would really be?)

Memory Foam Mattresses: Check Out Memory Foam for Back Pain Relief

Tired of waking up with back pain?  Tired of sleeping in that crater in the middle of your old inner spring mattress?  Perhaps it’s time to take a look at a memory foam mattress for back pain relief.

The 2010 article, The Shocking Truth About Back Pain Revealed offers up chiropractic instead of drugs and surgery.  Another thing to think about is your mattress.  Many people found their back pain lessened once they started sleep on a memory foam mattress.  It’s not a cure-all or a substitute for medical care, but many people have found a memory foam mattress has helped ease their back pain.

Exercise: Sleep’s Best Friend

Want to sleep better? Who doesn’t? It’s funny how our ancestors never had trouble sleeping.  People used to walk places, work in the fields, do manual labor… Now we have machines to do all that and save us time, yet many people still say they don’t have time to exercise.

Research shows that even small increases in exercise, like a daily half-hour walk, can improve your sleep and your health.  The one caveat to this is that you should not exercise close to your bed time.  That will actually make it difficult to wind down and to fall asleep.
