Many of us don’t really put too much thought or effort into choosing the right mattress and pillows. You might think the mattress of your choice doesn’t affect your quality of sleep, but this couldn’t be more wrong. A high percentage of people who suffer from insomnia are found to be in their worst shape when it comes to their physical and mental health. They spend a lot of money on sleeping pills without looking for the obvious reason that could be affecting their sleeping patterns to change. The answer is very simple, it could be the bed you are sleeping on. Of course, we all want a comfortable bed that could provide us with the relaxation we need at the end of every day to recharge. But how much could our mattresses be affecting the quality of life we are living?

We have collected some game-changing facts that could answer that question and shed some light on things that we have never thought of.

Mattresses that provide deep slumber could alleviate anxiety

It’s harder to fall asleep on a lumpy old mattress, and when you finally manage to do so, it’s never the deep sleep that you should be getting. Constant inadequate sleep could lead to many serious problems. The wrong mattress could lead to increased stress, insomnia, back and neck pains and many more. Experts at MemoryFoamTalk have listed the best mattresses that could help with some conditions that you might be suffering from. You can find different types of mattresses for athletes, pregnant women, people who suffer from sleep apnea, and so much more. Long sleep disturbances could lead to depression and other mental struggles. That’s why it’s very important to put the right amount of effort and time to find the mattress that suits you.

Old mattresses raise the risk of getting allergy symptoms

If you constantly notice that you get allergy symptoms whenever you lay on the bed, your mattress could be the reason. Old mattresses are full of dead skin cells, sweat, and dust particles that lead eventually to dust mites. And we all know that most skin allergies are caused by dust mites. The three main noticeable symptoms are a sudden large number of pimples, nasal congestion, and a runny nose. People who have sensitive skin and people who are at risk of asthma should always follow the rule of changing the mattress every 7 years. Mattresses with germ-resistant features are the best to go for in these cases.

Worn-out mattress springs could be the root behind your back problems

A bed that squeaks and creaks is hardly a comfortable one. If you are a light sleeper, it could definitely wake you up multiple times in the middle of the night. There are a lot of reasons behind the annoying creaking noises. The main reason is the old springs. The noises are manageable, but when it’s combined with back pains, then it’s time to get a new mattress. The saggy mattress and the unsupportive springs lead to a lot of tossing and turning which eventually results in poor sleep quality. Most people who deal with chronic back and neck pain have a long history of fatigue and inadequate sleep. So, it’s very important to keep track of these signs to be able to avoid them.

Your mattress could be the reason behind appetite fluctuations

Sleep disturbances affect the body more than you realize. If your mattress keeps you tossing and turning all night long, this could affect your appetite. Appetite changes affect people differently. Some people might lose their appetite completely due to the increased stress of not getting enough sleep. Others might feel a huge increase in their appetite due to the noticeable fall in their leptin levels. Leptin is the responsible hormone behind appetite regulations. Constant sleep inadequacy could lead to obesity and several body image issues.

Lack of good night’s sleep could lead to serious health issues

Sleep disturbances and deprivation could lead to serious cardiovascular conditions. Many heart diseases, high blood pressure issues, and the increased risk of strokes are tied to the bad quality of sleep. Each time you wake up during the night raises your blood pressure. Eventually, this could lead to chronic high blood pressure, which leads to heart problems. Not only your heart, but the lack of sleep affects the immune system profoundly. Since the immune system is what fights many diseases and infections. A weak immune system leads to many bacterial infections, frequent cold, and a high chance of getting the flu.

You could also be risking the development of type 2 diabetes

Deep slumber is essential for balancing the natural process of producing glucose. Messing with these natural processes lead to “Insulin resistant” due to unbalanced glucose levels. Your liver, body fat, and muscles start to ignore any signals that insulin is sending out. Since glucose is essential for energy production. These imbalances might lead to constant fatigue and a lack of energy. If you are feeling unhappy, tired for no apparent reason, and constantly exhausted, it’s definitely time for a checkup to make sure that everything is fine.

After all these surprising facts about all the risks the results from the lack of sleep, it’s very obvious how a good-quality mattress could change your life completely. Getting a good night’s sleep improves your overall health, it keeps you relaxed, leads to better memory performance, and increases your productivity. Sleep deprivation, on the other hand, could completely ruin our lives. From cardiovascular issues, mental sufferings, physical pains, to the increased chance of being subjected to bacterial infections. If you are suffering from any sleeping issues without any real physical or mental issues, it’s time to look for a new mattress. Technology now has evolved to leave us with various types of mattresses that could solve many of the issues we are dealing with. It’s very odd how only a mattress could be the thin line between a happy comfortable life and endless suffering. That’s why it’s very important to put adequate effort, time, and money to find the perfect mattress that suits you.
