Our body experiences a lot of exertion the entire life. Therefore, it needs time to relax as well. Our body is just like a machine which should get a break time to work smoothly. If this motion isn't managed properly, then we face various problems and can even suffer from serious illness. That is why maintaining our health is equally important. 

So how do you think you can do that? By following a proper diet with nutritional food and physical exercises, you not only provide a healthy life but also detoxify yourself. Nowadays, people are getting more into organic food and protesting against things that hamper our environment. For example, many want less plastic containers to keep food in and to stop eating junk food.

There is a phrase that says, "early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Even doctors recommend at least eight to nine hours of sound sleep to avoid any kind of heart problems or sleeping disorders. 

Research says that obesity, diabetes, stress, depression, and cardiac arrest majorly happen to those who suffer with sleeplessness. Therefore, one should ensure even if they have had a hectic day and there are still lists of emails to be answered, they get a proper night's rest.

Your surroundings decide a lot about your sleep. If you have gadgets that disturb you while you're asleep, if the curtains in your room are translucent and outside light pollution makes your room bright, or your mattress is uncomfortable, everything is related to your restless night. 

Scientists recommend that gadgets should be kept at a distance while you're asleep because they emit radiations which can affect your heart and brain. Also, the blue light that emits from television, laptop, mobile phone, tablet and computer keeps your melatonin active which keeps your brain energetic which will take time to relax so that you can sleep. 

There is one important thing that also affects your sleep-your mattress. A mattress that sags from the middle, hugs you all night prevents you from changing postures, and sleeping in one position can lead to body ache. 

Do you rise with slight pain in the neck and back in the morning or do you keep changing the position looking for a comfortable spot on the bed? These are indications that your mattress should be changed. 

There are various stores that sell many best mattress brands with smart technology. If you're planning to shop for a new mattress, then follow these recommendations that are meant for every age group and the type of mattress for them -

  • Kids

  • Teens

  • Couples

  • Pregnant women

  • Middle age

  • Senior citizens

Kids

Childhood is a growing period thus, you need a mattress that's not very firm. It isn't wise to get a large mattress for your kid because they won't be able to use the same mattress when they grow. This will be a waste of money because every mattress needs replacement after 10 years of usage. Thus, it is wise to get your kids an innerspring mattress with latex or pocketed coil. 

Teens

Teenagers are at a stage where they grow fast, so you cannot spend much on a small size mattress at the age of 13 when you know within three years your child will be double the height. Buy a super large or XL mattress which is generally called queen mattress. All parents want to give the best to their children, but if you know that your kid would be leaving house for college in the next few years then there isn't any point in buying a super expensive mattress. 

Before buying a mattress, check your teen's sleeping position. Stomach and back sleepers need a firm mattress, whereas side sleepers need a softer memory foam mattress. 

Couples 

Most couples complain that their spouse has bad ways of sleeping which disturbs their sleep as well. Well, the only solution isn't changing rooms, but you can also change your bed and mattress. The best way to sleep peacefully is by giving proper space to both the individuals, which can be done by avoiding a queen mattress and buying a larger size. 

Pregnant women

Pregnant women often sleep on their sides during their trimesters. Due to pregnancy, with time, their body weight starts increasing which can be tough for them and painful of course, if they sleep on a hard or firm mattress. Thus, they should always sleep on a soft mattress. However, too soft of a mattress can make it difficult for them to lie as it starts hugging after some time. Pregnant ladies always have back pain and swollen feet, so they should get a quality mattress that can provide support on their joints. 

Middle age

Middle age is a crucial age where you tend to lose your sleep and various kinds of health problems start enclosing. You need a mattress that gives you comfort so that you can get some sound sleep and also the structure of your mattress should give you relief on your joints. A supporting mattress treasures the natural curve of your spinal cord. Pay special attention to specifications to avoid any kind of back problem in future. 

Senior citizens

Aged people have various health problems because of which they look for comfort at every place. A minor injury or pain can cause real trouble to them as their tolerance power is reduced. Most senior citizens have arthritis or any other joint or spinal problem thus they need memory foam with high density. Low density foam can mess with their back and disturb its alignment. They need a mattress that works as a cushion for them. When they lie down, they should feel they are on a soft bed which is looking after their every joint carefully. 

However, for senior citizens, you shouldn't jump to a conclusion by seeing fancy items. Let them do the research by experiencing it. This cannot be done online; it can only happen at a regular store. 

When you feel it is time to pay money for a brand-new mattress then you should follow these few things diligently -

  • One kind of mattress isn't perfect for everybody in the family. There are different age groups and body alignments in the house which need different kinds of mattress and its support. Also, the body temperature of every person is different so you cannot impose one kind of mattress on everyone.

  • Mattresses are directly related to your sleeping position. If you're a side sleeper, then you can use a soft mattress because that will ease pressure in the body's heavier parts, but if you sleep on your stomach then a soft mattress can bend your spine so you would need a firm mattress. 

  • Also check if your mattress circulates air flow. If you're a person who emits heat while asleep, then you need a spring mattress instead of latex or foam that retains heat. 

Find a mattress that makes you comfortable when you rest on it. You can also customize your mattress by approaching a company that can do it for you. If you know all specifications and the right kind of feature for your body, then don't hesitate in ordering one.
