Could an Eco-Friendly Mattress mean Better ZZZ’s?
People spend about 3,000 hours in bed in any given year and some people spend more. Some spend a third of their lives in the bed, so why are there some people still out there that toss and turn in order to achieve a restful night’s sleep?
The mattress and the bedding on our beds is a big issue when it comes to sleeping better at night or even during the day, depending on your work schedule. Here are ways to go eco-friendly with your bedding and your mattress.
Feng Shui states that your bedding should be the highest quality and your mattress should be the highest quality as well, in order to achieve a great sleep and positive happens for the following day. The mattress is the best way to up that sleep to better zz’s.
Most beds are made up of a box springs that contains inner springs to help give the “bounce” effect, there fore leading the way to a lighter sleep and the upper mattress, which some contain the springs still with a covering of mesh or cushion. But, over time the springs sink and the cushion sinks as well and over time you start feeling the springs. There are many steps you can take to help cover this feeling. A mattress cover, a cushion addition over the mattress, or even a piece of plywood. But over time all of these will still result in the sinking effect. A good quality mattress and box springs is the best way to combat this and replacing your mattress after so many years will give you added benefits of needed zzz’s. Here are some to consider.
