Your bed could become home to a thriving population of dust mites, mould and other allergens if you don’t take measures to keep it clean and hygienic. However, this can all be avoided by keeping good care of your mattress, washing the bedding that comes into contact with your body and investing in a mattress with a removable and cleanable mattress cover.
Have you ever wondered why you slept restlessly throughout the night or woke up feeling sore all over? These might be signs that you need a new mattress as the current one doesn't provide the right comfort and support that you need anymore. Determining when to replace your mattress can be difficult as you sleep on it every day and the effect of wear and tear may not be obvious.
We often hear about the importance of getting 7-8 hours of good-quality sleep a night from doctors but why exactly is sleep so important? The benefits of a decent amount of sleep are numerous, but the fundamental importance of good sleep is down to the fact that it gives the body a vital chance to rest, recover and repair. During the Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) state of sleep, energy is restored, blood supply to the muscles is increased and tissue growth and repair occurs.
We all need a good night’s sleep and for some, the temperature is the big determining factor. Generally, sleeping on natural materials like latex will help you to sleep comfortably cool throughout the night. However, some people have the misconception that latex mattresses are warm to sleep on. Let’s explore what may have caused this.
Having enough space to stretch out and relax is one of the key ingredients of a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, people tend to discover the importance of the right mattress size the hard way. If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night falling out of bed or from the disturbance of your partner’s stray elbow, you may have come to the conclusion that you need a mattress size upgrade. Buying a mattress that is too small is an unfortunately common mistake but this handy guide will help you choose the mattress that is the right size for you.
Quality sleep is essential to a child's growth and development. When children don't receive the proper amount or quality of sleep necessary for this development, they remain drowsy, and become easily stressed, all of which can influence their attitudes, temperaments, social behaviours and learning abilities.
The internet has transformed the process of buying a mattress. You can buy a mattress wherever and whenever you want, avoiding the hassle of pushy sales pitches. However, the sheer range and choice of online mattress stores can be confusing and you may have no clue where to start.
Electromagnetic radiation is probably something you’ve never even thought about. But what is the real effect of electromagnetic radiation on your body when sleeping on a spring coil mattress?

In an environmentally conscious world, it always seems to be a good idea to buy everything natural. If you’re on the hunt for a new mattress, a natural latex mattress is one of the best options out there.
Natural latex mattresses have been applauded by many owners as their best choice of mattress ever owned. This is not surprising as a natural latex mattress holds a lot of intrinsic benefits for its sleeper. Made of the sap of the rubber tree, natural latex mattress is elastic and hence, it conforms to your body contour while providing the necessary support that your body needs.
Latex is a milky-white liquid sap that comes from the rubber tree. It consists of rubber particles, water and little contents of resins, sugar and ash. Due to its high elasticity, it is used to make rubber and other related products such as shoes, balloons, gloves, mattresses and many more. In fact, latex is one of the best natural materials to make mattresses because of its intrinsic characteristics: elastic, anti-dust mite and mould resistant.
