Get Better Sleep With 5 Mattress Hacks To Use Today
Life in the UAE is simply fantastic! There
is so much to see and explore, several great job opportunities, some of the
best housing and public infrastructure in the world, and an overall superb
quality of life.
However, your one grouse is with the
weather. The typically hot and arid climate of the country can make it
difficult to move around during certain hours of the day, or to even get
comfortable sleep at night. Add to that the fact that your mattress is not
helping matters by sagging and giving you niggling aches and pains when you
wake up.
It’s not that difficult to reclaim your
sleep – just follow these 5 simple hacks to convert your poor mattress into a
great one:
#1 Invest in a mattress topper.
One of the simplest ways to get a good
night’s sleep is to ensure adequate support in key areas of the body – the
neck, shoulders, back, hips and ankles. Your mattress might be a relatively new
one, and you might not be looking to make a purchase right now. The next best
thing to combat the sags and lumps is to buy a thick mattress topper. As the
name suggests, the mattress topper
sits atop your mattress and is either tucked into the sides like a bed sheet,
or strapped on. It provides additional padding for your body. There are many mattress
toppers (4-inch ordinary foam, memory foam, cooling gel, etc.) available with
leading mattress stores in UAE, and they deliver the product quickly and with
every safety protocol in place (in view of the COVID-19 situation).
#2 Change your pillow.
As incredible as it sounds, bad sleep is
sometimes the result of the wrong pillow and not necessarily your mattress’s
fault. A pillow that is too high and firm can raise your neck above the plane
of your shoulder. On the other hand, a too-soft pillow makes your head dip
below the shoulder plane. Both instances result in misaligning your spine,
resulting in shoulder, neck and back pain over the long run. If your pillow
does not offer enough cushioning to your head while keeping the neck aligned
with the spine, then you need to invest in a new memory foam pillow that helps
you get a great night’s rest.
#3 Get an orthopaedic mattress.
Bad sleep needn’t become a permanent
fixture in your life. Banish it by changing your mattress altogether. The good
news is that leading mattress stores in UAE offer a quick delivery of the
mattress of your choice – just make your purchase online and wait for the
mattress to be delivered and installed in your home. If you suffer from back
and neck pain, then you should consider getting an orthopaedic mattress from a
leading mattress dealer in the country. These offer differential cushioning for
the shoulders, lower back, hips, knees and ankles.
#4 Flip the mattress.
This is the simplest hack in the book, but
most people don’t consider it at all. If your mattress has become slightly
saggy and lumpy, it means that it is unable to distribute your body weight
evenly. If you don’t wish to invest in a new mattress at this time, we suggest
simply flipping or rotating the mattress to take advantage of the even surface
on the other side. Over time, you might need to flip it again, but the good
news is that the earlier sag will have evened out by then.
#5 Add support in the sagging areas.
Sometimes, the bed frame is to blame for
the state of your mattress. Remove the mattress off the bed and examine the
frame. Is the frame a simple slatted one, which causes the mattress to be
supported in certain points and weighed down in others? Invest in a plain
hardwood frame that offers the same support at all points. Or if the frame is
fine but the mattress has sagged in certain places, offer support by placing
towels under the mattress, or hardwood pieces wherever needed. But these are
just temporary measures – you must certainly look into the possibility of
buying a good mattress soon.
We hope these hacks help you rediscover the
joys of deep sleep every night!
