Four Mattress Technologies That Are Best for Your Back
When it comes to sleeping, people often take it for granted. As long as there is a mattress in the bedroom, they believe it’s enough already to call the room ‘bedroom’. They don’t realize that the quality of their sleep depends heavily on the quality of their mattress. And the very purpose of the bedroom may not be fulfilled if the bed there is not comfortable and healthy for you.
Adjustable Support
Have you ever noticed how adjustable the beds in hospitals are? That feature is not only to pamper the patient, but it actually has some health benefits as well.
First, the adjustable support allows you to find a perfect position to sleep. This may not seem like an issue if you are still in your 40s or younger and are healthy. But to people with back issues or elders, getting in and out of bed is not an easy task, not to mention finding the correct position for their back when they want to sleep. In those situations, sleeping on an adjustable bed can be life-changing.
Second, different people have different spine structures. And laying on a flat surface all night long is undoubtedly not the ideal and healthy condition. The mattress should follow your spine structure, and you shall feel the most comfortable sleeping position. And only adjustable beds with two or more lever actions can achieve that.
Sleep Sensors
If you feel like your sleep is never good enough to make you fully recovered the next morning, you need to know precisely your physiology while you sleep. However, going to a doctor and have your sleep monitored can cost you unnecessary money.
Luckily for you, there are mattresses equipped with sensors these days. They can track your heartbeat, breathing patterns, the time intervals of your sleep cycles, and how long you sleep per day. With these statistics available to you, you can see for yourself if you get enough sleep or not.
Illumination and Heating
Why have the sleep lamps on the ceiling if you can have them on your bed? If you’re one of those people who can sleep in total dark, this tech innovation is also good news for you. Illuminated bedding also often comes with a heating feature, which makes this bed perfect if you live in an area with cold weather.
Adjustable Firmness
Just like the adjustable support feature, the firmness of your mattress is also adjustable now. In the past, this facility was only available to air mattresses, but today, foam and spring beds have it too. And you can control it from your smartphone!
