Tips for choosing a mattress.
How we sleep is more important than how long we sleep. • In choosing a mattress we have to consider that it must adapt to our bodies. This means no mattress can be the absolute ideal, but should be chosen according to our own physical characteristics and body needs. • Height and weight are important elements for choosing a mattress. Taller, heavier people should choose a firmer support and lighter people should choose a more anatomical mattress   • After a day’s stress and strain the spine must restore its natural balance and posture during the night so too firm a support will create pressure points and too soft a bed will not give enough support. The ideal is provided by an anatomical bed with suitable elasticity and firmness for perfect relief of the spine. In this way during sleep the spine rests and is relieved lengthening itself by approximately 2cm, ready to face a new working day.  • It is good practice to turn the mattress ‘top to bottom’ at least once a month and it is advisable to change your mattress every 7-8 years. Bear in mind that we lose up to 500 gr. of body moisture and waste every night and up to 7 kg of dead cells every year, which all aid proliferation of the dust mites that cause allergies, asthma and rhinitis. • The new sleep technologies studied by Linearete can improve your rest and help you to find and customize the ideal mattress for you. • Memory foam is the evolution of sleep and the mattress of the future; it eliminates backache and helps the spine gain relief during the night. It solves circulation problems, eliminating cramp, pins and needles and painful necks and joints. • Latex with its differentiated zones supports the body all over, is naturally hypoallergenic, breathable and hygienic. • Water foamed mattresses are hypoallergenic par excellence and therefore suitable for people suffering from particular allergies. Their elasticity supports the body anatomically. • Boxed springs. The evolved traditional mattress; independent springs work individually to create differentiated firmness zones for the various parts of the body. • Bed bases must be suitable for the mattress of your choice and interact with each other. An excellent mattress needs an excellent base, just as a good house needs good foundations. • Pillows. Let’s not forget that the most sensitive part of the spine is the neck, so it is essential for this region to be supported by the right pillow to avoid painful neck ache and headaches. No pillow is universally suitable for everyone, they vary according to the physical constitution and age of each person. |
