Which Type of Mattress is Best for Me

Which Type of Mattress is Best for Me

There has never been a better time to enjoy a better night’s sleep. Mattress designs are more advanced and vary more widely than ever. Regardless of your sleep requirements and preferences, there is a mattress for you. Many of us, however, fail to give our mattress purchase the due consideration it deserves. It is easy to succumb to the fanciful new terminology or to reside ourselves to what we already know and trust. The reward of learning about various mattress qualities is a long-term improvement of rest and well-being. In addition, many newer mattress models are made with more sustainable materials, meaning your research may also be better for the planet too.

The material of your mattress is a primary consideration. The main variations you will encounter are memory-foam, latex-foam, hybrid, and spring or innercoil. In addition, each of these categories has other variations. Coil mattresses are built around the inner network of wiring that offer the familiar bounce we know and enjoy with mattresses. While they may offer a cooler night’s sleep, due to their internal structure, there are few other benefits in comparison to other, newer designs, especially since their rigid form requires sleepers to adjust to the mattresses position.

Alternatively, foam mattresses offer the now widely-favoured benefit of better support. Their material allows the mattress to accommodate and support the body based upon each preference and position. This means that, no matter how you sleep, a memory foam mattress will work for you. Recent advancements have also allowed the foam designs to become more breathable too, competing with the classic coil design. A currently popular advantage of the latex-based foam mattress are the environmentally-friendly benefits of its material. If this is an important factor in your purchase, be sure to ask for the specific organic or sustainability certifications from the manufacturer.

Hybrids seek to bridge the benefits of both mattress styles but, while some do achieve this, they can often be more expensive and offer little reason to select one over an entire foam mattress.

When purchasing a new mattress, some people neglect to choose a new and larger size. It is easy to become accustomed to a particular size, often a double bed, and fail to experience the benefits a larger bed may bring. Having more space to sleep allows your body to find more comfortable positions as well as move during the night without disrupting your own or a partner’s sleep.

While a larger mattress might deter you with a larger price tag, the investment may ultimately prove to be a wise choice, especially when your sleep improves. If you are not sold on reconsidering your mattress size, consider looking at the reviews of those who have upgraded to read first-hand accounts of the benefits. Reviewers, such as Savvy Sleeper, are also great sources for discussion and insight into a wide variety of mattresses. By spending time learning and considering different options for your mattress you will find yourself selecting the most appropriate mattress for your body and, ultimately, sleep better than ever.

When the Years Start Catching up on You: 9 Early Signs of Alzheimer’s

When the Years Start Catching up on You: 9 Early Signs of Alzheimer’s

We are all individual and that means that Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can affect you in different ways compared to another person, although there are some basic symptoms that provide some warning signs.

There are options available to help you cope with the onset of Alzheimer’s and retain your independence, such as FreedomCare, where you can hire a family member to care for you and they can get paid for doing so.

The fundamental question to consider before you get to that point is to identify whether you are showing some of the classic early signs of Alzheimer’s and here are some pointers in that regard.

Your memory is not as good as it was

Age will have an impact on your memory but short-term memory loss is a particular symptom of dementia.

It is common for a person with dementia to forget a name and the context of how they know the person.

If you know how you know the person but can’t remember their name, that is most likely forgetfulness rather than a sign that you have Alzheimer’s.

Daily tasks become difficult

If you start to struggle with familiar regular tasks such as getting dressed or getting your breakfast ready, this is considered a classic sign that you might have dementia, as opposed to suffering from normal aging.

Confused and disorientated

It is ok to forget what day of the week it is, but if you suddenly can’t remember where you live or have difficulty distinguishing between night and day, that is a definite issue and a warning sign.

When the words won’t come

Again, it is normal to struggle to find the right word for something every now and again, but if you are suffering the early onset of Alzheimer’s you might start to forget simple words and end up jumbling your sentences if you substitute the wrong words as a replacement.

Impaired judgment

It might be obvious to you that when it is raining outside, for example, you will dress appropriately for the conditions.

People with dementia may start to dress inappropriately for the weather conditions.

You struggle with household finances

Someone who is suffering from dementia will often have difficulty keeping track of events and things that they need to do, such as paying their household bills.

Forgetting where you left something

We can all misplace items like keys every now and again but someone who has Alzheimer’s could end up putting things in strange places, making it very difficult to find your keys, for instance, if you have put them in the freezer.

Your mood starts to change

You can experience a noticeable change in your mood and behavior when you have dementia.

It is normal to experience different emotions and feel sad or happy at different times, but if you change rapidly to anger from being happy, for no apparent reason, this is another symptom to be aware of.

Your personality changes

Your friends and family know what sort of personality you have and one of the signs of dementia is to experience a noticeable change in your personality.

It is common to see someone with dementia become suspicious of people they would normally trust, for example, and memory problems are behind these changes.

It is normal to experience changes in your ability to perform certain tasks as you get older, but it is important to understand the distinction between aging and Alzheimer’s.
