Ever wondered about your bed, the silent health supporter? We at SleepingBeautyBeds.co.uk think it’s time to appreciate our beds. Where else do we spend nearly a third of our lives than on our mattresses?

 

A decent bed does more than give a comfortable place to sleep after a long day. It’s essential to your physical and emotional well-being. How do you feel after sleeping on a bumpy, sagging mattress? Maybe groggy irritated and unprepared for the day. Imagine waking up on a comfy, supportive mattress.

Start with your spine. It keeps you upright, bending, and twisting all day. Your spine needs a night’s rest, and the correct mattress supports it so it can relax and recover. A soft mattress may seem like a cloud, but it will sink in the wrong areas, hurting your back. Too firm, it’s like sleeping on the ground.

Discuss muscle healing. Whether you go to the gym or walk to the fridge, your muscles wear out regularly. A decent bed provides the perfect resistance and comfort to help muscles mend and strengthen overnight.

Note the importance of deep sleep. Your body repairs, your brain stores memories, and your immune system prepares for the day during deep sleep. Sleeping deeply in a bed without waking up every hour is like a nightly body and mental tune-up.

Don’t forget a decent bed for stress relief. Do you ever notice how stress melts away in a cozy bed? That’s your nervous system switching from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘ rest and digest.’ A comfortable bed helps lower cortisol, and blood pressure, and prepare you for sleep.

A decent bed helps mental wellness too. Poor sleep can cause and exacerbate anxiety and sadness. A comfy bed may be a refuge from the day’s stressors and a place where anxieties melt away, helping you achieve tranquility and mental wellness.
