Mattress Dominos

My favorite part is when some of the people underestimate where the mattress before them will land and then it hits them in a sensitive spot. It’s lulzworthy.

Anyways, a group of employees from Bensons for Beds in England decided to test out mattress dominos to set a world wide record. They will most likely get it because I’m sure that wasn’t even in the book in the first place.

Watching this video reminded me that it is about time I invested in a new mattress. Moreover, did you know that both the mattress industry and the Sleep Council strongly recommend that you should replace a mattress every eight years, because by this time it will have lost much of its original comfort and support?

Accordingly, in total you spend about one-third of your life on your mattress, so, therefore, it plays a significant part in your general health and well-being, not to mention your day-to-day energy levels, alertness, and mood.

With this in mind, doing plenty of research online can help you find the best mattress for your needs. For example, if you weigh more than an average person, a latex mattress might not provide the proper level of comfort. This is when a quick online search could prove to be beneficial for you as it could help you find bariatric mattress. The main purpose of a bariatric mattress is to provide support to heavier individuals and protect them from developing bedsores and skin ulcers. There are many qualities that can make bariatric mattresses a good choice, including layers of various types of foams, alternate pressure air cushions, no motion transfer, and pressure distribution. So, hopefully, you can understand why this exercise of researching on the Internet is so important when it comes to improving your overall health and wellbeing.

Anyway, during my research, I came across this article that enabled me to learn more about this natural latex mattress and how it can supposedly be one of the best mattresses to guarantee a good night’s sleep for people who are not heavy. Who would have thought it? But whilst the benefits highly outweighed the cons, this wasn’t for me, and so I decided to continue with my research to see what else I could find.

Personally, I find that reading reviews is a fantastic way to see what people are saying about different products and therefore before I decide which mattress to buy, I will definitely be comparing a few options online first.

Consequently, some friends of mine have told me to take a look at this ecosa vs koala mattress guide for some inspiration. If you have any mattress recommendations of your own, do get in touch as I would love to hear them!

Anyway, check out the video that I have linked above, and share your thoughts. I am so excited to hear what you have to say!
