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.

Fragmented Sleep and Its Effect on Health

As the wife of a career fire captain who is retiring in six months after 33 years of service, the article, The Trouble with Sleep: A hidden hazard to firefighters’ health, really resonated with me.  The health problems associated with fragmented sleep include not only problems with mental health, but an increased incidence of everything from diabetes to heart attack to stroke.  So are firefighters the only ones at risk due to their choppy sleep habits?  Unfortunately, firefighters, medical residents, and the like are not the only ones at risk these days.  Here’s why…

Why the Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress is Unique

The Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress continues to distinguish itself from the crowd. With thousands sold, an amazing 96% of its reviewers would recommend it to a friend. What makes this mattress stand out in the crowd?

First of all, the Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress is unique because every aspect and every layer of its construction are of the highest quality.  Of course you can get memory foam mattresses that are much cheaper, but they are made with much cheaper components.  This means that they are not as comfortable and not built to last.  Our mattress has a 10-year non-prorated warranty.  Not only that, but our mattress is the only memory foam mattress in the industry that does not have a minimum sag requirement for a warranty claim.  With other companies, you have to meet their minimum requirement or your warranty claim is rejected.  Have a sag of 1.49 inches that is making you uncomfortable and the company requires a 1.5 inch sag?  Too bad – you are out of luck.  It is not that way with the Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress.  If a mattress has a sag or dip that affects your comfort, the warranty is honored.  There are no “gotcha” clauses (and very few warranty claims).

Memory Foam Mattress or Natural Latex Mattress: Both Equal Great Sleep

Is it time for a new mattress?  Maybe you are tired of tossing and turning or rolling into that crater in the middle of your old innerspring mattress.  Perhaps it’s time to think about two of the most comfortable mattresses around — the memory foam mattress and the natural latex mattress.

A memory foam mattress is temperature sensitive and uses this temperature sensitivity to mold to the contours of your body.  This reduces pressure points and the need to toss and turn to get comfortable.  Once you do change positions, the memory foam “remembers” its shape and gently molds to your new sleeping position.

Memory Foam Mattresses: Shop Online for Comfortable Sleep

Perhaps you are looking for a memory foam mattress, or maybe you are looking for another type of mattress.  You may think that the only way to shop for a memory foam mattress is to go to your local mattress store, lie on a mattress for 10 minutes, pick one out, and cross your fingers.  Memory foam mattress shopping doesn’t have to be that way.

A Memory Foam Mattress is the Most Comfortable Mattress

A memory foam mattress is the most comfortable mattress…

So says the meta-site SleepLiketheDead.com and its summary of reviews and ratings of the top rated mattress types.  In this review (http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/bed-mattress-review-home.html), memory foam mattresses rate the highest with an overall owner satisfaction rating of 81%.  Latex mattress are a close second at 80%, and traditional innerspring mattresses are the lowest rated mattress for comfort at just 63%.  In this summary, SleepLiketheDead uses a sampling to make its determination, using over 6000 samples for the innerspring and memory foam results and just over 1000 for the latex results.  According to the site, their mattress data is based on “20,356 Owner Experiences Gathered From 948 Sources.”  So is this perfectly accurate?  It’s hard to say as this type of sampling is not an exact science, but, using this site’s sampling method, it is clear that memory foam is widely considered the most comfortable mattress.

Memory Foam Mattresses: Comfortable Support for All Your Nooks and Crannies

Does a body really have nooks and crannies?  I think that may be an English muffin.  I think a body has curves and contours, but at least you knew what I was talking about.

A memory foam mattress is extremely comfortable.  It’s temperature sensitive which means it uses your body’s heat to gently mold to all of your individual curves and contours.  It does the same thing for your sleeping partner’s completely different curves and contours.  Memory foam reduces pressure points and the need to toss and turn to get comfortable.  When you do change positions, memory foam “remembers” its shape and then gently settles in to your new sleeping position.

Healthy Foundations’ Comfort Matrix Construction

Why is our Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress so comfortable that 96% of its over 400 reviewers would recommend it to a friend? It’s quite simply due to our unique proprietary Comfort Matrix Construction™. What is our Comfort Matrix Construction™ and why is it so comfortable?

Our 5-layer Comfort Matrix Construction™ starts with two layers of our boutique memory foam – a 2″ layer of 4-lb density foam followed by 2″ of 5-lb density foam.  This memory foam is made by a small boutique memory foam manufacturer that specializes in memory foam.  Its open cell construction increases air flow by 95% and wicks away heat and moisture three times more than traditional memory foam.  The base foams are 2.3-lb density airflow top configuration base foams.  These base foams are a higher density than found in less expensive memory foam mattresses (1.5 – 1.8-lb densities are common) and are designed to increase airflow.  The bottom base foam has an IFD/ILD of 50 and the base foam above it has an IFD/ILD of 31 (firmer foams have higher numbers).  The final layer of the 5-layer Comfort Matrix Construction™ is the CoolMax™ cover which also helps our memory foam mattress sleep cooler.  (Just 1/2 of 1% of our returns are for the mattress sleeping too hot – a common problem for many memory foam mattresses that we have improved upon.)
