Why memory foam mattresses are the answer to a good night’s sleep

Why memory foam mattresses are the answer to a good night’s sleep

The key contributors to good health are nutrition, exercise and sleep. Those who struggle with the last mentioned can find it difficult to concentrate; they are at risk of high blood pressure and even heart disease. With this in mind, a relaxing and comfortable slumber is crucial for everyone – especially when the average person spends a third of their lifetime in bed!

Finding the perfect mattress is fundamental to a good night’s sleep, which is why in-depth research is well worth the effort. But, with a multitude of offerings in the marketplace, it can be tricky knowing where to begin.

Traditionally, spring mattresses have been the obvious choice, and there are two types available: open coil and pocket sprung. However, an increasing number of people are upgrading to memory foam. Here is the main reason why…

When you lie on a spring mattress, it pushes back with the same amount of force applied by your body, and studies show any uneven pressure can disrupt sleep, accentuate aches and pains, and lead to poor circulation.

By way of contrast, memory foam moulds to the body’s natural shape, creating a more tailored sleeping experience that is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic back or joint pain. The material is made to enhance the natural curve of the spine, regardless of your favoured position.

A leading manufacturer of foam mattresses is Nectar, whose 10-inch design cleverly incorporates five layers of material, producing a balanced level of comfort and support. Unlike competitors, it includes a unique cooling cover, which helps regulate body temperature throughout the night.

1. The adaptive cooling cover is custom-designed to draw heat away from the body and circulate fresh air

2. Smart memory foam responds to the body to dissipate heat and moisture, in turn controlling body temperature

3. Pressure relieving memory foam provides comfort and support

4. Seven zone supported base targets significant areas of the body

5. Positioning base material keeps the mattress in place

Nectar mattresses come rolled and vacuum-packed. Once opened and laid flat, the product is best left for 24 to 48 hours to “breathe” and regain its shape.

After that, according to our testers, the customer may look forward to firmness, support, comfort and, quite probably, the best night’s sleep they have ever experienced!

Prices start at £599, including two pillows and free delivery. With the addition of a year-long trial period and lifetime warranty, there is really no reason not to give Nectar a try!
