Why is it Important for College Students to have a High Comfort Mattress?

-->

From a recent graduate point of view,  it is expected for many students to believe that having a good night’s sleep is not a priority but after time it takes a toll both mentally and physically on the body. College students are very active and have many things to do in a day. If you have ever experienced sleeping on a dorm’s mattress then you already know how uncomfortable and hard it is to sleep on it. It is probably no surprise that 70% of college students do not get enough sleep.

In a recent study, it shows that students go through a decline in their GPA who sleep less than 5 hours a day on average. For a college student to spend everyday on a dorm mattress can leave them with not only back pain but can come with the effects of lack of sleep.

Here are some of the possible effects when a college student experiences lack of sleep:

·      Increased chance of missing classes due to over sleeping

·      Lack of focus during class

·      Drowsiness during class

·      Decreased in energy

·      Affects the cognitive process

·      Health problems

·      Can make a person gain weight

·      Impairs judgment

Students should have a place of comfort and look forward to a good nights rest after a long day and be ready for the next day to perform at their highest ability. The emotional health on a student is also compromised with lack of sleep. Parents may not have much control when it comes to their children’s amount of sleep but they can encourage sleep and give them an incentive with a high quality comfort mattress to have something they can look forward to.

When should I replace my mattress?

The easiest way to know whether it is time to replace your mattress is to ask yourself how you slept last night. Although the Better Sleep Council recommends you replace your mattress every five to seven years, many people sleep on a mattress that isn't worn out but that should be replaced because it doesn't fit them correctly.

There are several reasons why a mattress might not fit you correctly anymore. The most important is the mattress doesn't provide proper support for the body's spinal alignment which causes you to wake up with discomfort, pain, or the need to wake and stretch out kinks and stiffness. Secondly, the mattress doesn't have the right type or number of pressure relief layers on top of the support layer which can create pressure points causing you to toss and turn, interrupting sleep and leaving you feeling un-refreshed in the morning.

Sleeping on horsehair is extremely expensive...

The Vividus bed by the design firm Hastens is the most expensive mattress in the world retailing for a cool $49,500. Each bed is hand crafted with an oak frame and contains horsehair wool and cotton and takes over a week to construct. We're biased of course - But we think that our beds are a little more reasonable in the comfort to value equation (not to mention - hypoallergenic *cue horse whinny*)!
