Bed Talk

Our mattresses and pillows are often taken for granted. We buy the first pillow or mattress we see on the shelf slap them on our bed frame and forget about them. This should not be the case though as we spend around a quarter to a third of our typical day on them! We should place more care in choosing and purchasing our mattresses and pillows. Poorly constructed foam mattresses and pillows are not only extremely uncomfortable but can also lead to long term back problems like scoliosis and slipped disks.

Chances are, you are still using the old style spring mattresses. While these have been the staple for close to a century, modern foam technology now presents better options. Spring mattresses have very short useful lives as compared to modern foam materials which can last 10-30 years. Furthermore, wear and tear affects spring mattresses more because a dislodged spring can cause a chain reaction that would ruin the entire mattress.

Two options you have are queen memory foam mattress or latex mattress. Each type has its own set of pros and cons. First, in terms of absolute comfort, nothing beats memory foam. Memory foam contours to your body shape to give you absolute comfort. The downside is that some people get allergic reactions to the memory foam material. Latex mattresses on the other hand offer the same comfort of spring mattresses but are much sturdier and do not contain allergens.

Getting the right mattress for you is convenient as well. Memory and latex mattress Canada are available online!
