Comfort is defined as a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint. It’s something we seek out consistently throughout our day, but the most important place for us to achieve comfort is at home – and more so with our mattress than anywhere else. This is because a comfortable mattress not only allows us to feel cozy and supported at bedtime, it also affects how we sleep, and ultimately how we are going to perform the next day.
A good night’s sleep can do wonders, renewing your body and mind so you can face another day. Without it, you may find yourself groggy, moody, and unable to function at the optimal level you need for success.
The Source of the Problem

According to the National Sleep Foundation, 45 percent of Americans say that poor or insufficient sleep affects their daily activities. There are various reasons why we aren’t getting enough sleep. Over-exposure to screens and blue light, sleep disorders like insomnia, and the wrong mattress are some of the reasons we aren’t getting the shut-eye we need.
If you’re struggling to get enough hours of sleep every night, it would be a very wise decision to look into the source of your problem. If it’s your mattress, we suggest looking at all the different types (hybrid, latex, foam, innerspring) and find one that will allow you to get the sleep you need to have a healthy body and mind every day!
When you start experiencing the effects of sleep deprivation, it’s time to look into all options at your disposal. We often underestimate just how important sleep is to our overall health.

You know what it feels like to wake up groggy and not at all well-rested. This is because your mind didn’t get enough time to rest and recharge, which will affect how well you function in a variety of ways.
Remembering things, retaining information, learning something new, and paying attention can all become more difficult when we are tired. This will likely compromise your ability to be creative, make decisions, problem solve, and react quickly to situations.
According to sleep.org, just 19 hours without sleep can alter your motor function as much as if you were legally drunk! Clearly, your work performance will be affected by your sleep.
You may also experience moodiness and a short temper, which can affect your social health and relationships as well.

On top of feeling like you can’t quite think straight, your body might also feel like you just got hit by a Mack truck. This is because your body didn’t have a chance to recharge and renew itself from the day before. Therefore, your energy levels are likely pretty low, and you’ll find that your body is reluctant to get out of bed. If your mattress is the cause of your sleep problems, you may also experience aches and pains from not having the right support and comfort features to prevent them.
Healthy sleep helps you to have a healthy body in many ways. Did you know that healthy sleep encourages a healthy immune system, healthy heart function, and graceful aging? That means you will be less susceptible to catching pesky illnesses during cold and flu season, be able to better prevent high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, and help reduce the breakdown of collagen in your skin which helps to keep the skin tight and smooth!
Because of it’s effects on your sleep, your mattress is likely the most important piece of furniture you own when it comes to your health and wellness. If you’re not comfortable on your mattress, you’re not going to get the sleep your body needs to function at an optimal level each day.
