Quick! What one piece of furniture in your house gets the most use over its lifetime? If you guessed “mattress” then you’ve earned a gold star. Actually, make that two gold stars. Think about it. We spend almost a third of our lives in bed.
Or at least if you calculate the recommended hours of sleep we should be getting each day with our average life span – that’s what the calculation works out to be.
But, then there are those of us who don’t get enough rest. You have undoubtedly heard it all before. Sleep deprivation has been linked to a whole host of physical and psychological ailments.
Some include diabetes, memory problems, weakened immune system, and general fatigue.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 56,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year are linked to driver fatigue. Needless to say, the importance of a good quality mattress isn’t just about buying the cheapest mattress available. It’s about buying the best mattress you can afford.
Maybe you’re clocking the recommended number of hours sleep each night but you toss and turn so you wind up only getting a few hours of restful sleep even though you are in bed for eight or more hours. Not a good situation.
