Leg Pillows for Pain Relief

Pillows can help relieve pain in your sore joints. That may sound strange, because that’s typically what we look to mattresses for at night when we have joint problems. But if you’ve ever propped your knees up on a pillow in bed or slept with one between your legs, you may already be familiar with how helpful they can be. Sleepys has a variety of specialty pillows designed specifically to use for your legs. They take the stress off of your lower back, hips, and knees. Your aching muscles will start to relax and you may find yourself sleeping more soundly. Try propping your knees up with a wedge pillow, lay on your side and place a contour pillow between your legs, or try out an adjustable massaging pillow. This last type has a soft hinge that allows you to change its shape so that you can sleep on your side or back. Hit the switch on the pillow and suddenly a soothing massage feature will activate. All of the pillows are made of quality memory foam. Try one out to increase the quality of your sleep and start the day pain-free.

The New Space Blankets

The original space blankets were developed by NASA back in 1964 to send with U.S. astronauts into space. Since then, this awesome piece of technology has appeared in over the counter first aid kits worldwide. It has even been redesigned by the U.S. military to become the “casualty blanket,” which has the same basic design with added outer layer of olive drab. Now this technology has been redesigned yet again to create a masterpiece for your bed at home. This new blanket is called the “outlast blanket,” and it regulates your body temperature so that even if your partner overheats and you generally freeze, instead you both sleep comfortably. Now you can have a piece of space technology on your own bed.

Why Not to Drink Coffee at Night?

Drinking coffee is like a routine, you drink coffee, I drink coffee and everybody drinks coffee. We drink coffee first thing in the morning, during the morning, after midday, actually we drink coffee all day and when it comes the hour for us to sleep we also drink coffee right? Why we shouldn’t drink coffee during the night? There are many negative side effects with drinking coffee at night, and all of these side effects combined create countless reasons as to why you shouldn’t drink coffee at night. Coffee is a prime source of caffeine, and caffeine is the drug that gives you that much needed energy boosts and wakes you up first thing in the morning. While that seems like a benefit however, if you continue to drink coffee throughout the day and at night, you are giving your body that much needed energy boost over and over again, and that is when it becomes a problem. If you drink coffee at night, you will likely be unable to sleep, which can leave you feeling exhausted and drained first thing in the morning. Coffee also makes you more alert, meaning if you drink coffee at night and then try to sleep, you are much more likely to stress over the smallest and seemingly most harmless things, which can cause many negatives side effect on the body and the mind. It’s rare that a person don’t stay awake after drinking a coffee during the night.

What to Do if You have Isomnia?

Not every one of the insomnia remedies alone will get you to sleep, but a few of them at least should prove successful. Needless to say, there’s no guarantee, and no attempt to provide medical advice, but the feedback we’ve received indicated they’ve been very helpful for many people.

What to do if you have Insomnia? You can start doing these steps:

·         See a Doctor- insomnia can be symptom of physical disorders, although for most of us it’s the result of tension, stress and anxiety and of course the more anxious we get about our insomnia, the worse it gets. If your doctor pronounces you a “healthy” insomniac, he might prescribe drugs to help you get to sleep.

·     

    Listen to music or other audio- play some soft, smoothing music that will put you to sleep. There are many CDs designed for that very purpose. Some are especially composed music; others simply have sounds of waves rhythmically breaking, or the steady pattern of a heartbeat. Some will lead you to sleep with a combination of music, voice and other smoothing sounds.

·         

Drink warm milk- a glass of warm milk 15 minutes before going to bed will soothe your nervous system. Milk contains calcium, which works directly on jagged nerves to make them /and you) relax.

Many things that you can do to when you have insomnia, try these steps and good luck.

Mattress Toppers for Relief

Mattress toppers aren’t just to protect your mattress or make it softer. Some are designed to improve your circulation while you sleep, or help with conditions like congestion and heartburn. These are called Geo Incline Mattress Toppers. You can set them up so that either your legs or your upper body is elevated at a slight incline. This technology is used in many hospitals to help patients with certain conditions. If you suffer from poor circulation, congestion, acid reflux, headaches, heartburn, or snoring, consider investing in this mattress topper for relief.

Ergonomic Pillows

So just what are these advertised “ergonomic pillows” good for, anyway? The ergonomic pillow is specially designed so that a person can sleep (or sit!) in a way that minimizes tension on the muscles used to sustain a position for any long period of time. The biggest tell that you’re looking at an ergonomic pillow is by its shape. They often look different, and are made out of a kind of material that retains its form as you rest on it. Some examples of these are bed pillows, lower back pillows, neck pillows and full body pillows.
Pillows in general are designed so that the angle of your spine is in a “neutral” state, meaning what you would look like standing straight up without slouching. It’s because this is the most comfortable position for your body to retain that pillows have existed in some form or another for many years. What happens is that your body works a little harder to maintain a posture it’s not comfortable in without a pillow and causes you stiffness, tension and general discomfort. Pillows are good at helping correct this, ergonomic pillows are meant to take that a step further. You can find ergonomic pillows in many stores and in many different styles, we recommend trying one out!

Without Sleep

The record for someone to go without sleep was 18 days, 21 hours and 40 minutes. This occurred during a rocking chair marathon. This did not come without consequence, however, as the person who set the record reported hallucinations, blurred vision, concentration and memory lapses, paranoia and slurred speech.

I, personally, am a back sleeper so I'm going to share with you some information on my favorite pillow, the Back Sleeper Position Pillow. It's a farm but relatively flat-structured pillow which elevates the head and supports the neck. This is great if, like me, you're a back sleeper because you like to watch TV or read a book until you fall asleep. I personally am mostly guilty of reading online articles on my laptop until I pass out. This pillow is perfect because it's designed partly as a wedge, which means it can support your upper back as well.

Your Favorite Pillow

Okay, okay. I admit. I'm a sap. I have an absolute FAVORITE pillow. My wife and I own like, ten pillows, only 4 of which actually stay on the bed at any given time. But there's one that I always have to have. It's my... pillow of my dreams. And the worst part about it is, I don't even care what sheet is on it. I'll know which one it is, and as long as I have it, I can fall right asleep. I never wake up cranky unless it's without this pillow. My wife teases me to no end about it. But hey, she can have her... soft, fluffy things. I... am all about the contoured memory foam. And not just any of them. Just this one. If I knew where I had gotten it all those years ago I'd go and buy more. …... But I don't. This one in particular just fits my head and my angle of sleep perfectly.
So for today's blog, I want the comments section filled with descriptions of your favorite pillow.

The Mattress and How It Affects Rest

You probably don’t realize exactly how much goes into making sure that your body gets a good night’s sleep. You’ve been sleeping since the day you were born. You’re a natural at it, so who cares how it happens so long as you get enough of it?

Well, that is one way of looking at it. But that’s an incomplete picture that doesn’t address certain biological realities. For instance, did you know that the body looks to natural darkness and uses it as a cue to start shutting your body down? It’s true, and when sunlight streams in it acts as a cue for your body to start waking up.

But let’s bring the discussion a little closer to home, shall we? Let’s say you fall asleep in a certain position every night. You do, whether you know it or not. However, when you wake up, you’re all stiff and sore and you feel like you need an extra hour or three to get the rest you’re looking for.

It’s not your fault - your body knows how it’s comfortable, and it takes that position for a reason. But if you have a mattress that doesn’t accommodate that position properly, you won’t get the rest you need.

Fortunately, Sleepys is here to help with all kinds of mattresses. You’re bound to find the one that’ll help you.

Coil Mattress Vs. Foam Mattress

With the advent of new technologies, we find ourselves with a great many options for our mattresses. And what has happened, perhaps inevitably, is a growing set of dichotomies between mattress types. The comforts and pains of one mattress type are increasingly being weighed against another. Sometimes favorably, and sometimes not.

With that in mind, let us examine a pair of mattress types and how they rank against each other: coil mattresses and foam mattresses.

Coil mattresses are the older type of mattress. They have a bit of a history stretching back even to before the 1900s. That was when the box spring was incorporated into the mattress as a means of absorbing shock and spreading weight over a wider area. This innovation allowed for mattresses to have an extended lifespan, and was considered to make them more comfortable.

Prior to this development, mattresses were considered to be a single piece. If you look at it that way, it’s possible to consider the foam mattress as a return to that way of doing things. It’s a single unit, without any springs, relying instead on a built in support with the foam acting as your sleeping surface.

The foam works like the springs, absorbing impact and spreading the weight. But there is a difference: the foam is a firmer kind of surface. It reacts not just to weight but also to heat, and is far superior to the coil spring in terms of its ability to absorb force.

So the question now has to be asked, as to which one of these is better. And as always, the truth is that it depends on you. It depends on what makes you comfortable: whether you prefer a less firm surface, or if you prefer one that’s going to give you that extra support.

It’s really up to you as to which one is better.

5 Types of Mattresses

Mattresses have a lot of different things to know. They are arguably a form of technology, especially when compared with the sleeping systems that we used before mattresses.

Prior to the mattress, we slept on the ground. Not the most comfortable place, true, but if you’re tired enough then anywhere can be comfortable. As people maintained a nomadic lifestyle, the idea of carrying anything extra would have been foolish. Particularly a thing for sleeping that would serve no purpose and weigh you down.

Still, all evidence seems to suggest that we graduated to sleeping on pelts at some point to insulate ourselves from cold ground, as well as curling up in the skins of slain beasts to take advantage of their warmth.

Beds don’t really start to show up as such until we settled down as a species. We weren’t going anywhere anytime soon, so we dedicated ourselves to finding ways to be comfortable when sleeping. Mattresses as they are today are the result of centuries of trial and error, of engineering and ingenuity.

As it is, there are 5 different types of mattresses now.

Innerspring
These are mattresses that have spring structures inside of them. These mattresses are the most common of all of them.

Foam
Rather than using coiled springs to support your body, these mattresses rely on a foam material to absorb the weight of your body. These are typically considered more supportive than innerspring models.

Latex
These mattresses are made out of hypoallergenic material - perfect for sleepers who can’t sleep due to a closed nose.

Futon
Flat mattresses, classically placed on the ground. Very thin, but very good for people who fall asleep on their back.

Air
These are a relatively new kind of mattress. They work on the same principle as a foam cushion does, with one difference. Air mattresses can be adjusted to fit different body types, and these are typically billed as a ‘customizable sleeping system.’

Why to Buy a Mattress From Sleepys

So you’ve probably seen some ads from some kind of a ‘mattress discount center’ or some such as that. And you think they sound like a good idea. The mattresses are off brand, and they’re cheaper, and it’s not exactly as if they’re somehow worse than the brand names, right?

Why should you go to the trouble of finding one of our stores? Why should you deal with us over some other group of stores?

Because, we are the mattress professionals. We know things about how mattresses work. We know that, amongst other things, not all mattresses are meant for all people. And, we know how to take what you’re looking for and translate it into a genuinely good mattress for yourself.

We’re dedicated to providing that level of service for all of our customers, and we look forward to rendering that same level of service to you as well.

Why Are There Different Mattress Types?

There are different mattresses. We’re not just talking about different brands of mattress; we’re talking about genuinely different sleeping systems.

Sometimes you’ll deal with something like the sleep number beds, which are essentially adjustable airbeds that you’ll see elsewhere. And you’ve probably heard of Craftmatic adjustable beds, which sell themselves on the novelty and their health benefits.

You get what we’re saying. There are a lot of different beds out there.

And even if you’re dealing with something like a flat mattress, it’s still not simplified. You have box spring mattresses, coil mattresses, futon mattresses. You have a lot of different types of mattress, and each one is suited to a different kind of sleep.

That’s the key. That’s the big difference between mattresses and the reason why there’s so many of them everywhere.

It simply boils down to the fact that no two bodies are exactly the same. Everyone weighs a little different, everyone has a slightly different body structure, and the pressure of gravity bearing down is going to do different things to each body as a result.

For some bodies, it’s no big deal. They can sleep on the floor, and get up and not feel anything the next day. If you fall asleep on your back, it’s arguably better for you to sleep on the floor anyway, and a thin mattress is good for you.

If you sleep on your side, you’re going to need something more substantial to cushion those joints. That’s where foam mattresses and the like are more handy.
