Mattress Innovations That Improve Your Sleep

Technology has impacted almost every aspect of our lives. Buying a mattress or even shopping for available options is nothing like it was a decade ago. A lot has changed since the innerspring mattress was invented in 1871.

One thing that has not changed is the importance of a good night’s sleep. Sleep is needed to allow your body to repair and rebuild.

Innovations in mattresses and other sleep technology make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep longer, with many related health benefits. Don’t forget the quality of your sheets and bedding. New high-quality sheets and queen quilt cover can also contribute to the quality and duration of your sleep.

Organic Mattresses

Mattresses constructed with organic materials are gaining popularity. More and more consumers are demanding eco-friendly and organic products. No mattress is entirely organic due to the manufacturing process, but they can include a high percentage of organic products.

Mattress made with organic latex, cotton, and wool that don’t contain harmful chemicals makes them an ideal option for people with allergies, asthma and skin sensitivities.

Individually Pocketed Springs

A mattress with individually pocketed springs has the same design as an old-fashioned innerspring, but each spring coil is wrapped in fabric and topped with memory foam, latex, or another material. The fabric on the coils helps with motion transfer and air circulation.

Phase Change Materials

Phase change materials are made with gels that respond to body heat. They turn into a cooling liquid when you’re too hot and stay semi-fluid when your body heat is lower.

Most phase change materials are either gel or copper-infused memory foam.

Sleeping hot was one of the main complaints about memory foam mattresses when they were introduced. Sleeping hot is uncomfortable and ruins your sleep quality. Thanks to phase change materials this is a thing of the past and many sleepers no longer wake up hot, sweaty and uncomfortable.

Latex Foam Alternatives

Latex provides comfortable and long-lasting sleep. However, it is also a common allergen. To deal with this issue companies have turned to science to produce latex foam alternatives that copy the responsiveness of latex with the comfort of memory foam.

Latex mattresses can be expensive due to the fact they last almost twice as long as other mattresses. Many latex beds combine synthetic and natural latex to reduce the cost.

Adjustable Firmness

A mattress with adjustable firmness is excellent for anyone who wants a personalized sleeping experience. Most adjustable firmness mattresses allow for each side of the bed to change firmness to a desired level. This makes it ideal for couples who have different preferences about mattress firmness. With the push of a button, each partner can select their desired level of support.

Celliant Fabrics

Celliant is a proprietary blend of fibres designed to absorb body heat, improve circulation and improve oxygen to body tissue. Studies have shown that this innovative new fabric can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and help ease pain.

When it’s time to shop for a new mattress look for these innovations and others that can enhance your ability to get a good restorative sleep.
