And this is only scratching the surface. If you're waking up dead tired every morning and find yourself wanting to sink back into bed, you are not alone.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Most people find it hard to get a good night's rest, but it can be harder if you have to share a bed with a partner. Deep sleep is important as it mentally prepares you for the day ahead. Many factors contribute to a good night's rest such as the right bed size, the right mattress size and type, and coming up with a good compromise with your partner.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>With</span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21056174/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> one-third of your life</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> spent sleeping, you must make sure you get the best sleep possible every night. Getting a good night’s sleep for both you and your partner is not only good for your health, but it can also make your relationship better.</span></p><h2><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);'>Common Sleeping Issues</span></h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Most people have one or two sleeping habits that their partner could go without. But even if they’re aware that they shift around a lot or steel the covers, it’s not something that they can easily fix. And it’s probably not for a lack of trying.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>They might be just as determined as you are to kick their restless nights to the curb and be able to have a peaceful sleep themselves.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Below are some of the most common sleep issues people face and how these problems might be corrected so that you can both sleep like the dead.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Snoring</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>According to the</span><a href="https://www.thensf.org/what-are-the-common-causes-of-snoring/#:~:text=Thirty%2Dseven%20million%20people%20admit,%25)%20say%20they%20are%20snorers."><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> National Sleep Foundation</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>, thirty-seven million people worldwide admit to being regular snorers. It’s hard to get a good night's rest when you have that constant snore keeping you up. Even with a good mattress, your sleep can be compromised if you share a bed with someone who snores.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Oftentimes, snoring is the result of sleeping on your back, you might suggest that your beloved back sleeper turns onto their side for the night to see if it corrects the issue. If that doesn’t work, incorporate some lifestyle changes that may help alleviate the snoring problem; exercise works for most people.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Snoring can also be a sign of a more severe condition such as</span><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/snoring/symptoms-causes/syc-20377694"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> sleep apnea.</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> If you or your partner snore excessively, you may want to consult with your GP for an assessment.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Sleeping Positions That Conflict with your Partner</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Some people are </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-the-best-mattress-for-stomach-sleepers" target="_self"><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>stomach sleepers</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>, </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/best-mattress-for-neck-and-shoulder-pain" target="_self"><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>side sleepers</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>, or those who sleep just lying on their backs. Some people like to spoon and </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/cuddling-and-mattress-preferences" target="_self"><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>cuddle in bed</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>, whereas others prefer to be left alone with a lot of personal space. It’s all about personal preference, but it can significantly affect sleep quality.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>The much-argued-upon cuddling before bed was such an issue that the famous sitcom Friends even dedicated an episode to it, thus immortalizing the “hug and roll” technique.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Try to negotiate an agreeable position with your partner. Agree to cuddle before bed, for example, then letting the other person have his own space right up to the time leading to sleep; the key to better sleep and a better morning with your partner is all about knowing how to make some compromises.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A mattress made with memory foam layers also helps you both sleep better, no matter what your preferred sleeping position is.</span></p>

<p></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>The Blanket Grab or Sheet Stealer&nbsp;</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Waking up at night because you’re too cold and your blanket is missing can affect the quality of your sleep. Even with a mattress that sleeps well, you can't get your much-needed rest if you find yourself in a constant blanket war with your partner; this can cause a lot of tension between couples.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Luckily, you can expect to solve this problem with a simple solution: agree to sleep with two separate blankets. Good blankets not only provide warmth but should be soft and comfortable to touch, made from the best material.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A good blanket is a perfect partner to a memory foam mattress. Leesa </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/duvet-comforter"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>blankets</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> and </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>sheets</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> are made from premium-grade materials, so you can get the best sleep every night.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>The Restless Sleeper</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Restless leg syndrome affects</span><a href="https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Restless-Legs-Syndrome-Fact-Sheet#:~:text=It%20is%20estimated%20that%20up,may%20begin%20at%20any%20age."><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> seven to ten percent</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> of adults in the US. There are also those heavy sleepers who toss and turn at night even when they claim to sleep like a baby. Sharing a bed with a restless sleeper can get in the way of a good night's sleep.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>If you or your partner suffers from either of these conditions, your sleep quality may be affected without you even knowing it.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Try to create a separate sleep space by having different blankets. You may also want to try out the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> Queen Leesa Mattress</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> with premium quality foam layers to help isolate movements during motion transfer.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Bed Position</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>When sleeping with your partner, make sure that your bed is accessible on both sides. You don’t want your bed against the wall and have your partner crawl over you when they have to get up in the middle of the night.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Even with the perfect mattress, frequent waking can affect sleep quality and can hinder you from getting good, deep sleep; you may find yourself feeling tired all the time.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Consider positioning your bed in a way that either side is not up against a wall; if this is not possible, decide on which partner gets to stay on the inner side of the bed, ideally, this partner does not frequently arise at night to go to the bathroom or to attend to some other business in the wee hours.</span></p><h2>Other Ways to Create a Good Sleeping Environment</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>While it may feel like it’s wholly your partner’s fault, sometimes it’s not just their habits that are affecting your sleep quality. It might be a good idea to assess your sleeping environment to determine likely areas of discomfort for both you and your significant other so that you can make some changes.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);'>Consider </span><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Separate Bedtimes</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>In a utopian world, couples sleep and wake up at the same time every day. But in real life, this is the exception, not the rule. Having separate bedtimes can affect how you sleep when you have to wake up at night or wake up earlier than you have.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A mattress with good edge support can help localize movements so you avoid disturbing one another even when you have separate bedtimes.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>If one of you has to sleep earlier than the other, be mindful of not waking your sleeping partner. Try slowly inching your way from the edge of the bed and shifting your weight when you get in bed and your partner is already sound asleep.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Upgrade Your Linens and Pillows</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Are you waking up to a stiff neck every day? Chances are, you’re not sleeping with the right pillow. Proper spine alignment is key to a restful night’s sleep. It may be time to toss those old pillows away and purchase better pillows that support the proper</span><a href="https://www.spine-health.com/wellness/sleep/pillows-neck-pain"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> neck alignment</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>. A gel memory foam pillow can make all the difference.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Soft sheets or a quilted cover with a high thread count are also more comfortable to sleep in, so it might be time to give your sheets an upgrade too.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Switch to the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/premium-foam-pillow"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> Leesa Pillow</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> and the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> Leesa Sheet Set</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> to get the best sleep for you and your partner.

<h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Ideal Sleep Temperature</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Experts state that the ideal temperature conducive to sleep is</span><a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/bedroom-environment/best-temperature-for-sleep#:~:text=The%20best%20bedroom%20temperature%20for,for%20the%20most%20comfortable%20sleep."><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>. However, it’s all about a matter of preference. To get the best sleep, you have to work out a middle ground with your partner for the right room temperature regulation.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Sleep temperature is also influenced by the mattress material. The best mattress to get the best sleep is a memory foam mattress with cooling memory foam gel layers that helps lower body heat, all the while providing the support that you need.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Invest in the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress."><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> Leesa Premium Memory Foam Mattress</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>. It has a cooling memory foam upper layer that helps to reduce body temperature heat. Sleeping in the right temperature can help you sleep better, and wake up to a better morning every day.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>This mattress also provides you with the support that you need that helps you arise to pain-free neck and shoulders every day.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>The Mattress Topper</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A good mattress topper can provide you and your partner with additional comfort through the night. A mattress topper is a good investment, especially if your mattress is already worn, but you still don’t have plans on replacing it.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A mattress topper adds to the solid foundation your Leesa mattress already has, providing you with additional support and a better night's rest.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Try the</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-topper"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> Leesa Mattress Topper</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> for additional support for stomach sleepers, side sleepers, or for any type of position. A good mattress topper comes with a reasonable price and can make all the difference for a good night's rest with added pressure relief.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>A Silent Environment</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A silent room is an ideal environment for a restful night’s sleep. To avoid disturbances while you and your partner slumber, you want your bedroom to be as silent as possible. When total silence is not possible, try playing some relaxing music or white noise in the background.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>A silent environment to sleep in coupled with the Leesa mattress is the perfect equation for a restful night.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Turn off any electronic device that can cause noise, such as the radio or TV. If you live in a noisy environment, try playing some white noise to drown out the sound and create a more restful ambiance.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Use of Sleep Aids</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Sleep disorders affect</span><a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12119-insomnia"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> 70 million Americans</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'> yearly. If you or your partner are suffering from restless nights due to sleep disorders, you may find over-the-counter sleep aids helpful in getting in that much-needed forty winks.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>There are also non-medicinal sleep aids such as earplugs and eye masks to help you sleep better.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Keep in mind, though, before you start any treatment, consult with your doctor first.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Consider scheduling a visit with your GP to discuss the possible use of sleep aids. You can also invest in quality earplugs that limit the sounds that you can hear. Comfortable, soft, eye masks also help. Play around with whatever combination suits you to get the best comfort that will help you sink right into sleep.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Technology and Sleep</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Studies have shown that</span><a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/blue-light-has-a-dark-side"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> blue light suppresses melatonin</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>, a hormone responsible for sleep regulation. Even with the right mattress, you may find it hard to sleep when you are constantly on your phone before bedtime.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Try to stick to a schedule for using your cell phone or laptop and strictly avoid using them in the hours leading to bedtime.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>If you or your partner need to work late and have to be on their gadgets after hours, make sure that you make it up the following night and stick to your sleep routine of avoiding devices before bedtime.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(67, 67, 67);'>Keep Your Room Dark</span></h3><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Sleeping in a dark bedroom is</span><a href="https://time.com/5189387/dark-room-sleep-study/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> better for your mental health</span></a><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>. When you sleep in a dark bedroom, your body’s circadian rhythm is more in tune, so you naturally enter a deeper state of sleep—keeping your bedroom dark also promotes feelings of rest and relaxation so that you can fall asleep faster.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Try keeping your bedroom as dim as possible. If your partner cannot sleep in total darkness, you can opt for a small nightlight with a low-wattage bulb.</span></p><h2>Best Mattress for Your Restless Partner</h2><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>Leesa uses state-of-the-art technology to deliver the best mattress experience for every type of sleeper. All of the foams used in our Leesa mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified, giving you the best polyurethane foam in the industry.</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;'>For less than $1000, you can have a premium mattress that will let you sleep like a baby.

Not only is holding the warm mug and smelling the soothing aroma of the tea therapeutic on its own but the act of making it can be a great bedtime ritual in and of itself. Putting the kettle on the stove, pouring hot water into a mug, and waiting for the tea to steep can help us detach from our hectic day by focusing on a simple task.</p><p>Making tea can be so centering that the Japanese are known for their tea ceremonies which are deeply rooted in history and full of symbolism. It's practiced as a ritual of intention, quiet reflection, and living in a simple moment. While you don't have to go quite that far, making tea is still a great way to practice being calm and present.</p><p>Tea varieties like lavender, chamomile, tulsi, oatstraw, elderflower, hibiscus and mint are known for their relaxing effect. Green tea is another great option, but choose decaf or one with low caffeine so it doesn't interfere with sleep. To create a tea-making gift set, include a beautiful cup or even a<a href="https://ember.com/" target="_self"> heated mug</a>.</p><h2>LectroFan EVO White Noise Machine</h2><figure style="max-width: 600px;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/aZovtUevb1OlR4bkOo3unrSdJD-sB_0Qq0F-QLb2aQJE_4iOtD0H362RdRmOI5lRfZKVaBS7oFdRsUSfDCuyIO33stX9Ql-2JrQyl4DE3Re1hpILk09BWk_O502KaRh7F68E3JAv" style="width: 600;height: 450;max-width: 600px;" data-image="1d8deh7c8o98" width="600" height="450"/></figure><p><a href="https://www.soundofsleep.com/product/lectrofan-evo/" target="_self">LectroFan EVO White Noise Machine, $49.95</a><br/></p><p>White noise machines are a popular gift choice during the holiday season. They maintain a soft, consistent sound that blankets over the sleeper and masks other sounds in the room. Not only is the sound helpful for getting to sleep, but it also helps to stay asleep by eliminating any changes in sound around us.</p>

<p>White noise is also great for people who don't like silence and need 
to have some other noise around them. When consistently incorporated 
into a bedtime routine, the sound of the machine becomes a signal to the
 body that it's time to rest.
While white noise machines offer a variety of different sounds, we 
like the LectroFan EVO because it offers 22 different sounds to choose 
from for every type of sleeper and environment.</p><h2>Weighted Sleep Mask</h2><figure style="max-width: 588px;"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_9b1ltcPOCvNhO1TUid2areqeKc8LPLMyQntSmBPWsuXY-ekqL9sjBm3LgB1U9nJyEB-edq36BKFwyNXgjflr2EaAiCN9ThappmHtcFrNXQHxexco3k9qzWq_7bkO9OopiNKooye" style="width: 588px; height: 441px; max-width: 588px;" data-image="8rzpx2bdp9fg" width="588" height="441"></figure>

<p><a href="https://nodpod.com/collections/nodpod">Nodpod Weighted Sleep Mask, $34.00</a></p>
<p>The gentle, soothing pressure of this weighted sleep mask feels like a
 hug for the eyes. Not only does it block out light to aid sleep, but it
 has a similar effect on the body as a weighted blanket. It works by 
applying gentle deep touch pressure which creates a sense of calm by 
activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This kind of gentle 
pressure is great for anyone with anxiety or sleep disorders since it 
helps slow the heart rate and breathing to help the body calm down for 
rest.</p>
<p>The nodpod sleep mask can also be placed in the freezer for an extra soothing experience.</p><h2>Sumptuous Skincare</h2><figure style="max-width: 561px;"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/f6134C5IOTx5EPnEVhofynVYUkxa1JjpgwOr4mXchOBNSnO8Gd72FCeFLtjacQ-c2arCQxNcbge2OogDHsvJNlwzT657tLLRh8paaU0b50xRNOqyVNPPBKxSW1wlH_t3Dp9sjeP6" style="width: 561px; height: 421px; max-width: 561px;" data-image="rrxutrk00lze" width="561" height="421"></figure>

9 Black Friday Bedding Gifts for Better Sleep in 2022

<p>Your mother did it. Your grandmother did it too. And chances are, you've been given the same tried and tested advice - regularly <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/should-i-flip-or-rotate">flip your mattress</a>. Many people think that periodically flipping and rotating a mattress prolongs the lifespan of their bed. Where that used to be the case for almost all mattresses, the design of modern mattresses today has changed that cardinal rule.</p><p>Flipping a one-sided mattress can be tedious work, and it's not highly advisable. There's the lifting, flipping, and positioning of your heavy mattress. Don't get us started on possibly throwing out your back! Most modern mattresses are built with your comfort and convenience in mind. Thanks to modern mattress technology, you can leave the flipping to your Saturday morning pancakes with our excellent non-flip foam and <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-mattress">hybrid mattresses</a>.</p><h2>What is The Difference Between Flipping and Rotating a Mattress?</h2><p>While rotating and flipping your mattress will result in even mattress wear, some mattresses can only be rotated and not flipped and vice versa. Even though flipping and rotating a mattress will generate the same result, even distribution and wear, their processes are different.</p><p>Flipping a mattress means turning one side to the other so you will eventually sleep on both sides. Rotating your mattress means pivoting it 180 degrees, so the space where your head rests becomes the support for your feet and vice versa.</p>

<p>The majority of modern mattresses should not be flipped; however, double-sided mattresses should be. Occasionally, the firmness of the double-sided mattress varies from side to side, giving you the option to choose the firmness. However, you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions before rotating or flipping your mattress.</p>
<ul>

    <li>
      <p>Often required for innerspring mattresses</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Two-sided newer innerspring mattresses can commonly be flipped every six to twelve months&nbsp;</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Two-sided older innerspring mattresses usually require flipping two to five times a year&nbsp;</p>

    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Only one-sided mattresses, especially memory foam, latex, hybrid, and pillow top mattresses should be rotated. Flipping these mattresses can cause discomfort and may cause irreversible damage</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Generally, memory foam and latex mattresses can be rotated every six to twelve months</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Hybrid mattresses are normally rotated every three to six months</p>
    </li>
  </ul>
</ul>
<h2>Flipping A Mattress</h2>
<p>Flipping a mattress means turning it over so that you sleep on the opposite side. It has been common to flip a mattress at least once every three to four months. Older mattress models require flipping to avoid premature sagging. A sagging mattress is anything but comfortable, and flipping was believed to keep your mattress new for a longer time.</p>
<p>This act of flipping a mattress is supposed to give even mattress wear on all sides. Not all mattresses, however, need to be flipped. Most <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-a-hybrid-mattress" target="_self">hybrid mattresses</a> have been designed to be one-sided and have to be positioned precisely as recommended by the manufacturer. Unless it is a two-sided mattress and has been factory recommended to flip your mattress regularly, your new mattress may not need to be flipped at all.</p>
<h2>How Often Should You Flip Your Mattress?</h2>
<p>If you have a double-sided mattress or are recommended by the mattress manufacturer to flip your mattress regularly, it is advisable to do this once every four months. Check with your manufacturer first before flipping your mattress because some specifications may be affected if you opt to flip your mattress.</p>
<h2>Why Should I Flip My Mattress?</h2>
<p>There are different reasons why you may be advised to flip your mattress:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>To promote even mattress wear - Flipping your mattress helps to distribute weight evenly throughout the entire mattress rather than only on one side. As a result, the coils will wear out evenly throughout the mattress, and the bed will last longer.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>For hygienic purposes - As we sleep on our mattresses, dust, moisture, and debris accumulate, causing dust mites to multiply and allergies to develop. You can reduce dust and bacteria from collecting on each side of your mattress by flipping it.&nbsp;</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Improve the mattress' lifespan - A mattress will wear out and begin to sag more quickly on the side that is frequently used. When you flip the mattress, you give one side time to even out and recover while the other side takes a turn supporting your body.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<h2>What Mattress Types Should Not Be Flipped?</h2>
<p>Most modern mattresses do not need to be flipped, especially with multiple layers that serve specific functions.</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Memory foam mattress</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>One-sided mattress</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Latex mattress</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>Before deciding whether it's time to flip your mattress, check with your manufacturer's specifications regarding flipping. The Leesa mattresses require no flipping at all; just set it up on your bed frame, and it's good to go for years to come.</p>
<h2>Should I Flip my Leesa or Hybrid Mattress?</h2>
<p>No! You don't have to worry about flipping your Leesa mattress. Traditionally, mattress companies recommend flipping your innerspring mattress to get even wear on both sides (and both ends) of your mattress over time. They advise that you flip or rotate your traditional mattress at least four times a year. With Leesa, you don't have to stress about a mattress-flipping schedule because you don't have to flip your mattress, just set it up once, and you're good to go for the years to come.</p>
<p>Our mattresses are designed from the bottom up, with layers in a specific order, to help you get <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/soundtrack-for-better-rest-all-about-white-noise" target="_self">better rest</a>. If you flipped your Leesa mattress, you would compromise its entire performance design. If your Leesa mattress is not positioned correctly, you won't receive the benefits of the multilayer foam design.</p>
<p>This state-of-the-art foam design is intended to help your body recover and recharge during the night by providing support and cushioning right where you need them. In addition, the two-inch top layer of our beds allows for airflow, so you get a cooler night's rest. Flipping that layer on the bottom won't give you a good night's sleep as you would expect from a Leesa.</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Base Layer - A supportive core foam and quick response steel coils provide you with extra support and stability.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Relief and Stability Layer- A layer of dense foam sandwiches dense micro coils gives extra cushioning and support.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Memory foam recovery layer- A layer of memory foam provides relief to pressure points and promotes better sleep.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Comfort Layer- This foam layer is exclusive to Leesa. Most mattresses don't have this feature, making your Leesa mattress breathable, lessening the need to be rotated regularly.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>Are you worried about the life of your mattress? Don't be. We only use the highest quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure the Leesa mattresses outlive the lifespan of older innerspring mattresses without the need for flipping.</p>
<p>Just because you don't have to flip your Leesa or Sapira Hybrid mattress, it doesn't mean your mattress will have a shorter life span. Our beds are built to last and are guaranteed to be durable, so you can rest on your new mattress for years to come.</p>
<h2>Rotating A Mattress</h2>
<p>Rotating a mattress is different from flipping. When you rotate your mattress, you are just transferring the area of the foot of the bed to the head of the bed, or vise-versa. It is simply rotating 180 degrees; rotating is much easier than flipping a mattress.</p>
<h2>How Often Should You Rotate Your Mattress?</h2>
<p>You can rotate your mattress once every three months. You can rotate your Leesa mattress to ensure even mattress wear on all sides.</p>
<h2>Why Rotate My Mattress?</h2>
<p>Although Leesa mattresses do not require to be constantly rotated, you may want to rotate your Leesa mattress for the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Promote even mattress wear - Rotating your mattress helps evenly distribute wear and tear, particularly on areas such as our hips and shoulders that receive the most pressure during the night.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Avoid premature mattress sagging -&nbsp; The regular rotation of your mattress improves its capacity to withstand stress over time so that pressure points are spread out, and premature sagging will be minimized.&nbsp;</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>Promote better cleaning to rid your mattress of dust mites - Mattresses are prone to accumulating sweat, dander, dust mites, and mold in humid environments over time. For those who have allergies, this can be especially harmful. By switching positions while you sleep, you fluff up the mattress and prevent your body from being exposed to the same spots for an extended period of time.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<h2>When to Rotate a Mattress?</h2>
<p>Your mattress's material composition affects how frequently it should be rotated. Generally, to get the best out of your mattress, you can rotate it once every three to six months.</p>
<h2>What Mattress Types Should Not Be Rotated?</h2>
<p>Unless your mattress has integrity issues like tears or holes that threaten it from falling apart, there are no specific mattress types on the market that you should not rotate. However, some particular mattresses have specialized functionality support for the head area. To be sure, ask your mattress manufacturer for specific instructions if you intend to regularly rotate your mattress.</p>
<h2>How to Rotate your Foam or Hybrid Mattress</h2>
<p>If you decide to rotate your Leesa or Sapira mattress, it's pretty easy. The Leesa mattresses come printed with stripes that help you identify which side is which. Simply rotate the mattress 180 degrees so that the stripes are on the opposite side to where they were initially. Start at the bottom left corner and rotate the mattress clockwise until the bottom left corner is at the top right. If your Leesa or Sapira stripes started at the foot of your bed, they would now be at the head. Then that's it; you're ready to climb in and experience the best sleep night after night.</p>
<h2>Should I Rotate my Leesa or Sapira Hybrid Mattress?</h2>
<p>When it comes to rotating your mattress, many Leesa sleepers like to periodically rotate their foam or hybrid mattress to promote even wear. This is especially important if you share your bed with a partner or a furry friend. Even if you regularly sleep alone, you can rotate your Leesa mattress to promote even wear on both sides, especially if you prefer sleeping on one side more than the other. Rotating your mattress can extend the life of your mattress so that you can expect quality rest every night for longer.</p>
<p>We recommend that you rotate your Leesa or Sapira Hybrid mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months. That means positioning the stripes at the bottom of your bed for a few months and then at the top of your bed after that. When you rotate your mattress, it may also be a good time to do some<a href="https://www.leesa.com/blogs/mattress-and-sleep/how-to-care-for-your-mattress" target="_self"> seasonal mattress cleaning</a>, including vacuuming your mattress, keeping it in top shape, and getting rid of those pesky dust mites.</p>
<h2>The Right Bed Base Makes a Difference with Leesa</h2>
<p>On top of rotating your Leesa or Sapira Hybrid mattress a few times every year, having a suitable bed base can significantly extend the life of your mattress. A good bed base prevents your mattress from sagging and helps distribute the pressure of your mattress more evenly (so that it wears more evenly, too). So, what kind of <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/bed-bases-the-ultimate-guide" target="_self">bed base</a> is best for your foam or hybrid mattress?</p>
<p>There are so many options for a bed base that it can be hard to choose the best one to partner with your new mattress. Your Leesa or Sapira Hybrid mattress needs a firm, sturdy base to not only give you the best rest but to ensure your mattress lasts a long time. Here are a few options that we recommend for your foam or hybrid mattress:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Bunkie board</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-foundation" target="_self">Foundation + metal bed frame</a></p>
  </li>

    <p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-platform-bed" target="_self">Platform bed</a></p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-adjustable-base" target="_self">Adjustable base</a></p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>Pro tip: You would want to opt for a solid <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/difference-between-a-box-spring-and-a-foundation" target="_self">bed foundation, not a box spring</a>. A box spring will not give your mattress the support it needs. It's not built to be sturdy enough, and over time, your mattress will sag through the gaps in a box spring, ruining it in the process.</p>
<p>If you're ready to get better rest, Leesa has your back. We've got great mattresses, pillows, bases, and a complete range of sleep accessories for the best sleep experience.</p>

<h2>FAQs</h2>
<h3>Should All Mattresses Be Flipped?</h3>
<p>Nope! It is not recommended to flip a memory foam or pillow-top mattress; only double-sided mattresses can be flipped. If you flip a mattress designed for rotation, you could damage the cushion, making it wear out faster, and have an uncomfortable night's sleep. You should speak with your mattress company to find out what is best for your particular mattress.</p>
<h3>How Often Should You Flip Your Mattress?</h3>
<p>Depending on your mattress manufacturer, you may have specific instructions on how to flip the mattress, but ideally, you should flip new mattresses every three to four months. The older the bed, the more often you should flip it to keep it in healthy shape. By flipping it repeatedly, the filling will remain evenly distributed. Also, if you feel your mattress isn't providing comfort or support, you can flip your mattress more frequently.</p>
<h3>How Often Should You Rotate Your Mattress?</h3>
<p>The frequency at which you should rotate your mattress depends on its material. Some mattresses need to be rotated every few months, while others only need to be rotated yearly. There are even mattresses that do not require rotation due to technologies integrated within them. However, as a general rule, the rotation should be performed once every three to six months to achieve even wear and tear.</p>
<h3>Can a Sagging Mattress Cause Back Pain?</h3>
<p>It's true! If your back pain is at its height after waking up, it may be time to examine your mattress to see if it is sagging. Most mattresses begin to sag under the lower back, disrupting your spine's delicate alignment and requiring your muscles to work overtime to support your body.</p>
<h3>Should I Rotate my Leesa or Sapira Hybrid Mattress?</h3>
<p>Definitely! We believe you should rotate your mattress periodically to ensure even wear across both foam and hybrid mattresses. This is especially important if you sleep with a partner or have pets. However, it is also beneficial to rotate your mattress even if you usually sleep alone and prefer sleeping on one side over another. We recommend rotating your Leesa or Sapira mattress every three to six months. With Leesa mattresses, stripes enable you to easily differentiate between one side and the other, so each time you rotate your bed, the stripes should be opposite.<br><br><br><br></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Tencel is a type of fabric made from raw wood materials. It was developed by an Austrian company in 1972 and has since become widely popular for its sustainability, antibacterial properties, and comfortable texture.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Manufacturers often combine Tencel with other textiles, especially cotton or silk to create sportswear, </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">mattresses</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">, and bedding. Tencel </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-protector" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">mattress protectors</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;"> and </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">sheets</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;"> are especially popular, along with the Tencel mattress.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Besides having a soft texture, Tencel helps regulate temperature and wick moisture away from the skin. If you’re a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate, Tencel bedding might be just what you need.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">What Is Tencel?</span></h2><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">There are two types of Tencel: Tencel Lyocell fibers and Tencel Modal fibers. Both types of fibers are produced from sustainably sourced </span><a href="https://www.unsw.edu.au/science/our-schools/materials/engage-with-us/high-school-students-and-teachers/online-tutorials/composites/wood/wood-composition" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">wood cellulose.</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;"> Wood cellulose is the primary strengthening material in wood. Manufacturers use a chemical process to dissolve the wood pulp, extract the cellulose, spin it into fibers, and then weave it into yarn.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Tencel Modal fibers create an incredibly comfortable fabric that is whisper-soft and stretchy. For these reasons, manufacturers frequently use Modal for making sportswear and undergarments.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Tencel Lyocell fibers are used in a variety of fabrics and offer strength, extreme comfort to the skin, and effective moisture absorption. Because of their versatility, Lyocell fibers are often combined with other fibers like silk, polyester, cotton, or wool, and are often used in bedding.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">How Is Tencel Made?</span></h2><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">To make Tencel, manufacturers combine ground wood pulp with a chemical solvent and put it through a process called </span><a href="https://encyclopedia.che.engin.umich.edu/fiber-spinning/" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">spinning</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">. Spinning allows the wood polymer to be extruded through thin holes in an instrument called a spinneret. Once the fiber leaves the spinneret, it starts to dry and solidify. After drying, the fiber is then made into thread, which is woven into a fabric.&nbsp;</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">Sustainably Managed</span></h3><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">The entire production of Tencel is more environmentally friendly than that of making most other fabrics.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Both types of Tencel are defined as </span><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/0471440264.pst046.pub2" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">regenerated fibers</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">. Tencel Lyocell is made from sustainable eucalyptus wood, whereas Tencel Modal is made from beechwood pulp. Eucalyptus trees grow fast — in some cases up to 100 feet in just a decade — and require less water than many other trees. This makes Tencel's woven fibers more environmentally friendly than many other fabrics.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">The solvent used in making Tencel is amine oxide (MMNO), which is heated and the wood pulp dissolves in it. The resulting product is then put into a bath which removes the amine oxide. Most of the solvent is reclaimed and reused. This technique is called a </span><a href="https://nxrev.com/2021/08/closed-loop-quality/" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">closed-loop method</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;"> in manufacturing and is part of a sustainable business model. Because the solvent is recaptured, the amount of emissions into the atmosphere is significantly lowered.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">How Is Tencel Used?</span></h2><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Tencel is popularly used in clothing, furniture upholstery, bedding, and other products. Its natural sateen weave creates an attractive texture, appearance, and skin feel. And because Tencel fibers are produced from sustainable sources, their uses are growing in popularity.<br/></span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">Tencel Bed Sheets</span></h3><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Tencel's natural antibacterial properties stem from its ability to wick moisture away. This is another benefit of Tencel, in addition to its sustainability and silk-like feel.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">You can often find Tencel sheets blended with bamboo or linen. Tencel is durable, easily washable, and besides being soft, is incredibly strong. Tencel sheets have deep corner pockets to lessen any potential slippage from your mattress.</span></p><p></p>

<h3><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);">Tencel Mattress Protectors</span></h3><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">Why is Tencel an ideal fabric to use in </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-protector?bvstate=pg:4/ct:r" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">mattress covers</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;">? Because Tencel's qualities have everything you'd want to protect your investment. Since Tencel repels moisture, it's nearly waterproof. And that means it also protects from bacteria. A </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-protector" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">mattress protector</span></a><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 11pt;"> is a hygienic way to protect your health and your mattress.</span></p>

<h2>What Are the Benefits of Tencel?</h2><p>If you've made it this far, you can undoubtedly see that Tencel has several benefits and that using a Tencel mattress protector can enhance the quality of your sleep. Let's see why.&nbsp;</p><h3>Breathable</h3><p>Ever wake up covered in sweat? It happens. Some people are <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-tips-for-hot-sleepers?cq_cmp=18126837526&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIos249-aY_QIV-W1vBB3FsA9jEAAYASAAEgK3dPD_BwE" target="_self">hot sleepers</a>. Or you may live in a warm climate and have issues with heat retention. What you want is a mattress cover that will help you stay cool, not heat you. Tencel's breathability ticks all the boxes.</p><h3>Durable</h3><p>Because Tencel is made from wood pulp, it's a very durable fabric. But even though Tencel is more durable than cotton, which tends to shrink, is thick, and traps heat, it’s still silky and soft to the touch.</p><h3>Appearance</h3><p>When used for bedding, Tencel is most often woven in a luxurious sateen weave, which gives the fabric a pleasing and elegant sheen and softness that's comparable to silk. Unlike silk, however, Tencel doesn't wrinkle. What more could you ask for — bedding that's not only attractive but also trouble-free?&nbsp;</p><h3>Hypoallergenic</h3><p>Tencel is completely hypoallergenic, which makes it outstanding for people with sensitive skin or respiratory issues like asthma. And because Tencel is less susceptible to bacteria and resulting odors, it's an ideal fabric for bedding. A Tencel mattress protector will also repel dust mites, another frequent cause of allergies.</p><h2>Alternatives to Tencel</h2><p>As great a sustainable bedding option as Tencel is, there are other sustainable options to consider. Leesa's organic 400-count cotton <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set" target="_self">sheet set</a> is one such option. Also in a sateen weave, our sheets are unbelievably soft. Coupled with our Tencel <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/do-i-need-a-mattress-protector-for-my-memory-foam-mattress" target="_self">mattress protector</a>, you'll get the best of both worlds: luxury, durability, moisture wicking, and allergy repelling.</p><p>Bamboo sheets are another popular Tencel alternative. They're just as soft as Tencel and mimic Tencel's moisture-wicking and antimicrobial benefits. Bamboo's downsides include a higher price and a tendency to wrinkle.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 51);font-size: 17pt;">FAQs</span></p><div class="schema-faq-code" itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">Is Tencel good for hot weather?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">Tencel bedding is ideal for hot weather.

An Overview of Tencel in Mattresses: Uses, Benefits & Alternatives

Sleep Wellness

<p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Seems like everyone is talking about how great sleeping with a weighted blanket is. Why?&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Imagine being gently hugged as you're lulled into sleep; sleeping with a weighted blanket can feel just like that. The trick is to choose your weighted blanket according to your body weight — the right weight should be about 10% of your total weight. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, a 15-pound blanket would feel "just right" as Goldilocks would say.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Let's take a look at the benefits of weighted blankets and who benefits the most from sleeping with one.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>What Exactly is a Weighted Blanket?</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>A weighted blanket is usually made of thicker material than a standard, traditional blanket. Many have little pockets into which beads of plastic or glass are stitched. Some weighted blankets are hand-knit from heavy wool. Others have a cooling side and a warming side as part of their design.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>The blanket applies </span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25871605/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>deep pressure stimulation</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> to the body, helping reduce anxiety and ease you into deep REM sleep faster. The result? A good night's rest with less interrupted sleep.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets have also been shown to help people with the following issues:</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Anxiety and depression</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Insomnia</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Chronic pain</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Autism</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>ADHD</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Restless leg syndrome</span></p></li></ul><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>But even for people without these conditions, a weighted blanket can help them fall asleep faster and stay asleep, without those annoying middle-of-the-night wake-ups.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2>Mental and Physical Benefits of Sleeping With a Weighted Blanket</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Adding a weighted blanket to your sleep sanctuary can help you build better </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/16-tips-to-fall-asleep-faster"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>sleep hygiene</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> habits by encouraging your body to </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/16-tips-to-fall-asleep-faster"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>fall asleep faster</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>. But that’s not all, sleeping with a weighted blanket can provide many physical and psychological benefits.</span></p><h3>Improve Your Sleep Quality</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>A weighted blanket applies gentle, even pressure to the entire body. Most people say this helps them fall asleep faster, reduces tossing and turning, and helps them relax deeply.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Think of using a weighted blanket as something like swaddling a newborn. The light pressure of a weighted blanket stimulates the body to produce more melatonin (the sleep hormone), as well as serotonin (the happy hormone), while reducing the production of cortisol (the fight or flight hormone).</span></p><h3>Calm Your Nervous System</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Sleeping with a weighted blanket has been scientifically </span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32204779/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>proven</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> to reduce symptoms of anxiety, such as shortness of breath or a rapid heartbeat. Weighted blankets also show some promise in helping with emotional and physical regulation.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Who Can Benefit From a Weighted Blanket?</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Many people experience significant benefits from adding a weighted blanket to their bedtime routine. Weighted blankets have been shown to help people with the following issues:&nbsp;</span></p><h3>People With High Anxiety</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>In today's hectic world, many people experience anxiety and may not even be aware that their nervous system is on overdrive. Anxiety symptoms can include:&nbsp;</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Feeling tense or restless</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Having a sense of impending danger or panic</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Increased heart rate</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Rapid breathing</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Sweating</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Trembling or shaking</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Feeling weak or tired</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Trouble concentrating</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Digestive problems</span></p></li></ul><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Medication, psychotherapy, mindfulness, and therapeutic recreational activities are often needed for severe anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which affects many military veterans, first responders, and survivors of disasters. Even if your anxiety is comparatively mild, it's important to reduce anything that induces stress, especially before bedtime.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Many people with anxiety disorders report that the benefits of sleeping with a weighted blanket include relaxing more deeply, feeling more secure, and enhancing overall well-being. Since anxiety often goes hand-in-hand with depression, weighted blankets have also been found to help with other mental health issues, including bipolar disorder.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>People on the Autism Spectrum</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Autism is quite common. According to the </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/ss/ss7011a1.htm"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>CDC</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>, about 1 in every 44 children in the U.S. have autism symptoms, according to a study completed in 2021. The most common symptoms include challenges with social communication (eye contact, social interactions), repetitive behaviors or movements, and extreme emotional reactions.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Of course, these are all challenging behavioral and emotional issues, not only for the person on the spectrum but also for their family. That's why it's good news that both children and adults on the </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/signs.html"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>autism spectrum</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> often find that sleeping with a weighted blanket helps them relax, as the blanket's comfortable pressure shifts their focus away from annoying stimuli like noises, odors, or obsessive thoughts.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>But not always. If a person on the spectrum likes the feeling of pressure or being bundled up in warm clothing, they'll likely love a weighted blanket. But if they don't care for the sensation of weight or pressure, a weighted blanket may make them feel trapped and claustrophobic.</span></p><h3>People With Sleep Disorders Like Insomnia</h3><p></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), some of the most common </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/key_disorders.html"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>sleep disorders</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> are insomnia and restless leg syndrome (RLS). And studies suggest that weighted blankets can provide relief to those who suffer from either one!</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Always consult your doctor before using a weighted blanket if you have a sleep disorder.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>People With Chronic Pain</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>More than </span><a href="https://www.asbestos.com/cancer/chronic-pain-statistics/#:~:text=It%20has%20many%20underlying%20causes,up%20to%20%24635%20billion%20annually."><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>50 million adults</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> in the U.S. experience chronic pain, defined as persistent pain lasting more than three months. Of course, such pain is debilitating.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>A recent randomized controlled trial using weighted blankets suggests sleeping with a weighted blanket helps relieve </span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34425251/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>chronic pain</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>. The deep pressure provided by a 15-pound weighted blanket helped relieve the perception of pain, as well as the anxiety caused by it. This means a weighted blanket can become part of a non-drug arsenal for the home-based care of people with chronic pain.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>People With ADHD</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Whether it's a child or an adult with ADHD, feelings of sensory overload are common, in addition to feeling jittery and easily distracted. Part of this is because </span><a href="https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-sensory-overload-spd-and-adhd-in-children/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Sensory Processing Disorder</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> (SPD) often accompanies ADHD.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>SPD makes individuals susceptible to overstimulation by sights, sounds, tastes, and textures. Sleeping with a weighted blanket activates the sense of touch, which can keep a person with ADHD from becoming distracted by other stimuli.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Who Shouldn't Use a Weighted Blanket?</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Reconsider using a weighted blanket if you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, severe asthma, Type II diabetes, or suffer from chronic low blood pressure.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Additionally, frail, elderly people who might have difficulty moving a weighted blanket should not acquire one. Neither should weighted blankets be used with infants, toddlers, and young children, due to the danger of possible suffocation.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>But for everyone else, sleeping with a weighted blanket may be the ticket to sleep heaven (along with your Leesa mattress and foundation, of course).</span></p><h2>How Do Weighted Blankets Work?</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets use heavy fillers or extremely dense yarn to add weight and heft. As a result, many weighted blankets are warmer than their traditional counterparts. Some weighted blankets, especially those made from bamboo, are ideal for year-round use.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Remember: the ideal weight ratio is that the blanket should weigh around 10 percent of your body weight. If it's not heavy enough, you won't notice a difference. And if it's too heavy, the blanket may be uncomfortable and keep you from moving comfortably.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Also bear in mind that if your weighted blanket contains pockets filled with plastic or glass beads, it's prudent to put it in a </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/duvet-shams?cq_cmp=18126837526&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlKmeBhCkARIsAHy7WVv8ySfUxlaadseVRY-kTAuNDSF7KhEFjpcBg8w7jQqD2-nIY50pHQoaAruZEALw_wcB"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>duvet cover</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> in case any of the beads leak.</span></p><h2>Takeaways</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Should you make a weighted blanket part of your sleep sanctuary? The answer is a definite maybe.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets are touted as reducing anxiety and promoting deep, relaxing sleep. But the science behind weighted blankets is not yet complete. We do know a weighted blanket can calm the nervous system and improve </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/better-sleep-guide"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>sleep hygiene</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> and quality for many users. There's evidence that weighted blankets are helpful for chronic pain, insomnia, ADHD, and people on the autism spectrum.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>But other health conditions may make you think twice about using a weighted blanket, including obstructive sleep apnea, Type II diabetes, or low blood pressure.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Always speak to your doctor for advice about whether you should be sleeping with a weighted blanket.

Sleeping With a Weighted Blanket: Benefits and More

<p><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>We can all agree that it is hard to get up in the morning following a hot, sweaty, sleepless night. If you're wondering why it takes so long to fall asleep when it's hot, you're not alone! Body temperature regulation, also known as thermoregulation, is currently being studied by scientists.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>Similarly to an elevated body temperature, humidity increases the likelihood of staying awake and decreases the amount of time spent in slow-wave sleep (SWS) or rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Consequently, when the temperature is high at night, it can be challenging to fall asleep and stay asleep.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>The good news, however, is that the invention of </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-memory-foam"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>gel-infused memory foam</span></a><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'> has spawned a whole line of cooling mattresses and products that claim to lower your body temperature and assist you with falling asleep. Due to Leesa's dedication to sustainability and not using harmful chemicals, our team has gone above and beyond to create an even cooler, safer night's sleep.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>How Do Mattresses Contribute to the Cooling Process</h2><p><br/><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Listen up if you're a </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-tips-for-hot-sleepers"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>hot sleeper</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> and want to learn how to sleep cooler! A new mattress will not solve all your sleep problems by itself! Airflow must be achieved at all entry points into your bed, from the base to the covers, for the best results and to make your new bedroom items perform at their maximum potential. Air rises, so the air in your bedroom will be the coolest as you get closer to the floor.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>To take advantage of this, you should sit your mattress on a </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-foundation"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>box spring</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> or slatted platform so that air can rise and enter the bottom of the bed. In addition, the standard design of many mattresses, including </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/memory-foam-101-everything-you-need-to-know"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>memory foam mattresses</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>, allows air to pass freely through them.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Modern memory foam mattresses are made with "open cell" foam, which allows air to flow through wider, more open cells and dissipates heat. Airflow can also be encouraged by your sheets, covers, and pillowcases. Cotton and linen fabrics are particularly well-known for their airflow qualities since they have looser weaves.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>What Other Factors Should I Consider for Sleeping Temperature?</h2><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>The breathability of Sheets and Covers</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Room Temperature & Climate&nbsp;</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Choice of Pillow</span></p></li></ul>

<h2>Leesa's Cooling Process</h2><p><br/><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>You need to know the facts about cooling mattresses to make an informed decision. Some people believe that simply plugging in a mattress cooling system will physically cool them enough, but this is not necessarily true. If the mattress itself does not have the proper airflow, mattress cooling systems will have limited ability to keep you cool.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>Some mattresses claim to be cooling but there are no physical cooling mechanisms or technology to enhance these beds. Additionally, manufacturers may rely on harmful chemicals to achieve a "cool to the touch" sensation, so we suggest you do thorough research before purchasing one of these mattresses.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>Conversely, Leesa mattresses feature naturally cooling fabrics and materials with porous designs that allow air to flow through them. In the same way that a sponge releases water when pressed and returns to its original state when the pressure is released, changing mattress positions at night helps to naturally cool your mattress as it removes the hot air and absorbs the cooler air. As a result, Leesa's </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-legend-mattress"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Legend hybrid mattress</span></a><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'> delivers exceptional cooling while maintaining the heavenly pressure relief you expect from Leesa </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-memory-foam"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>memory foam mattresses</span></a><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>.</span><br/><br/><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'>Choosing bedding and comforters that allow air to escape your bed, return to your room, and circulate during your sleep is essential to ensure this process works effectively. Regardless of how cool your mattress claims to be, you will not be able to get the desired cooling experience if air gets trapped inside. Therefore, we recommend sheets made from natural fibers, such as cotton or linen, with a percale or sateen weave. These sheets are naturally breathable and tend to include moisture-wicking features. </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set?bvstate=pg:2/ct:r&gclid=CjwKCAjws--ZBhAXEiwAv-RNLyHO-uyj1Q63EBFCc4erEcwFiOzL6kbfcJsSRxJ6TsQlYuXYsv8FpxoCy18QAvD_BwE"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Sheet sets</span></a><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'> from Leesa, for example, are lightweight and promote airflow, making them the ideal choice.&nbsp;<br/></span><span style='color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;'><strong>Leesa Legend mattresses are a great way to sleep better, conserve energy, and save money.

<h2><strong>The Right Mattress is Key to Your Perfect Sleep Temperature&nbsp;</strong></h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You can't easily find suitable mattresses for hot sleepers, but they offer many benefits when you do. These mattresses will not only cool you whether you live in a warm climate or tend to sleep hot, but they also won't retain body heat after you sleep on them. Rather than absorbing heat, the bed disperses it, resulting in a lower body temperature.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The absorption and distribution of body heat will also result in significantly less sweating for those who tend to wake up with damp sheets, are tired of tossing and turning all night to feel colder, or flip their pillow several times during the night to feel cool. In addition, these mattresses are frequently constructed of multiple layers of memory foam to provide plush cushioning, pressure relief, minimal motion transfer, and alignment of the spine as well. The better spine alignment also provides less airway obstruction, improving anti-snoring effects!&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Mattress Features to Consider for a Cooler Sleep</h3><h3><strong>Responsive Foam Comfort Layer</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In addition to offering deep sleep and ultimate ventilation, our Legend mattresses feature cotton and Merino wool cover that regulates temperature, wicks moisture, and is naturally hypoallergenic due to its resistance to bacteria, mold, and mildew. In addition, our unique hole-punched comfort layer, located directly under the cover, is composed of high-density, responsive foam. The hole-punched design provides the same cooling as a gel cooling mattress but without the added weight or chemicals.</span></p><h3><strong>Pressure Relief</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Leesa Legend Hybrid mattresses are luxurious due to the five layers of highly responsive foam to ensure maximum pressure relief. With our recovery layer of memory foam, you get enhanced pressure relief on your shoulders, hips, and back by contouring your body. To further relieve pressure in the shoulder and leg regions, our second layer, our zoned support layer, comprises 756+ micro pocket springs, surrounded by stabilizing foam that virtually eliminates motion transfer. As well as providing additional pressure relief, our transition layer ensures you don't rest directly on coils beneath the zoned layer. We also have the quick response layer, which contains a central layer of 15-gauge pocket coils surrounded by two rows of 16-gauge coils to provide superior edge support. Finally, our base support layer provides support and durability for all body types.&nbsp;</span></p><h3><strong>Innerspring Core Support</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Leesa Legend hybrid mattress features 1,700 pocket springs separated into two layers and supportive foams. There are two layers of dual springs, each of which is designed to focus and support a specific region; the foam surrounding these springs also reduces motion transfer. Both layers of micro-pocket springs provide support for the hips, back, spine, and shoulders. Moreover, the second layer of pocket springs increases the mattress's airiness.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When you’re shopping for a new bed with mattress cooling features, make sure you know what each layer of the mattress is made of. Look for natural fabrics and materials as well as a design that is created specifically for maximum airflow as you change positions in your sleep. If you’re looking for the ideal mattress for hot sleepers, look no further than the Leesa Legend. </span><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);font-size: 11pt;">Get it shipped for free with a 30-day free trial and see for yourself.

The materials in cooling mattresses, such as gel-infused memory foams, cooling gels, and wrapped wire coils, regulate body temperatures, disperse body heat, and enable more airflow during sleep, which allows you to sleep comfortably and feel cooler at night.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">What is the best cooling mattress?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">Our recommendations for the best cooling mattress are hybrid mattresses. Hybrid mattresses provide support, comfort, and pain relief similar to memory foam mattresses and regulate your body temperature while you sleep. In the same way, you can purchase a hybrid mattress that absorbs heat and dissipates it quickly and thoroughly, just as a gel memory foam mattress does. Although we are biased, we firmly believe that our Legend Hybrid Mattress is the best cooling mattress that offers the best of both worlds!</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">What chemicals are used in mattress cooling?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">Phase change materials are usually used to create cool-to-the-touch sensations in gels or gel beads. Several chemicals can be used to make phase change materials, but their formulas are rarely released, so it is impossible to determine what they are. Fortunately, many manufacturers are moving away from chemical-based beds, so today's mattresses are safe. However, it would be best if you are always cautious since not all harmful chemicals have been banned. We believe hybrid mattresses, such as Leesa's Legend mattress, are ideal in this situation. At Leesa, we rely on natural fabrics and materials, such as metal springs and our signature hole-punched designs, so you can get the cooling you desire without any chemicals and with maximum comfort.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">Do cooling mattresses really work?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">Even though some cooling mattresses can regulate body temperature, their effectiveness is highly subjective. If you plan to purchase a cooling mattress, be realistic about your expectations, especially given the research inconsistencies. Additionally, consider that several factors can affect the effectiveness of cooling gels, including the amount of cooling gel the manufacturer uses, your body temperature, and the temperature in your sleeping environment.<br/><br/>For example, mattresses containing a small amount of gel, such as 5-10%, may result in inconsistent and unreliable cold sleep. As an alternative, beds with gel content ranging from 25-30% may offer several hours of cold sleep; however, as the gel warms up as your body temperature increases, it is impossible to predict how long it will last. Therefore, your heat problem will not likely be solved by these mattresses.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">How can you cool down a mattress?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">Use a cooling mattress topper: Mattress toppers add comfort to mattresses, but cooling mattress toppers also cool you off to some extent.<br/>Cooling pillows: These pillows provide a cool sleeping surface, draw away heat from the body, and increase airflow to ensure minimal heat retention.<br/>Pillow cases and sheets: Invest in bedding made from cotton or linen to ensure extra breathability and airflow!<br/>Freeze your sheets: Several hours before going to sleep, fold your sheets, place them in a bag, and freeze them. Afterward, put them on your bed. Then, you'll have a nice, cold bed to jump into, even if they don't stay cool all night!<br/>Ice packs: For an instant cool own, place an ice pack wherever you can feel your pulse: your wrists, neck, the crook of your arm, or the back of your knees.<br/>Hot water bottle: Ensure your hot water bottle is filled and placed in the freezer. Then, put it under your covers about 30 minutes before you want to go to bed, so it's nice and cool when you get ready for a good night's sleep.</p></div></div></div>

<p>So, if you're waking up stiff and sore, groggy, experiencing allergies, noticing squeaks or sags when you turn over, feeling lumps or bumps, or having hip, neck, and back pain, it's probably time for a new mattress.</p>
<h2>Factors Influencing Mattress Lifespan</h2>
<p>Proper care of your mattress can enhance its longevity. A<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/mattress-protector" target="_self"> mattress protector</a> is essential to keeping your investment free from dust, stains, dust mites, crumbs, allergens, and even <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-get-bed-bugs-out-of-mattress" target="_self">bed bugs</a>. Routine<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-do-i-clean-my-mattress" target="_self"> cleaning</a> of your mattress, including vacuuming, is also key to mattress longevity. But there are other factors that impact how long your mattress will provide you with comfortable relaxation and enhanced sleep quality.</p>
<h3>Materials</h3>
<p>Mattress materials play a critical role in mattress lifespan. Latex tends to be the longest-lasting mattress material, but many people are<a href="https://acaai.org/allergies/allergic-conditions/latex-allergy/" target="_self"> allergic to latex</a>. Cotton batting is used in innerspring mattresses and futon mattresses. Memory foam mattresses are made with different thicknesses of foam that cradle your body. A hybrid mattress will often include cotton, coils, and Merino wool. Why wool? It's resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria, and its natural wicking properties provide temperature control.</p>
<h3>Quality</h3>
<p>A high-quality mattress costs more, but isn't a good night's sleep worth the investment? If you're wondering how long does a mattress last, you should plan on spending a little more than you may have the last time you bought a new mattress. If you care about the planet and climate change, having a mattress with organic, natural materials is probably a high priority.</p>
<p>All of Leesa's memory foam and hybrid mattresses are CertiPUR-US ®-Certified. That means the foam we use is made without toxic chemical flame retardants, free from heavy metals, made without formaldehyde and<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/biomonitoring/Phthalates_FactSheet.html" target="_self"> phthalates</a>, and supports indoor air quality since they emit few volatile organic compounds (<a href="https://www.chemoxy.com/about-2/knowledge-hub/what-is-low-voc/" target="_self">VOCs.</a>)</p>
<h2>Mattress Types</h2>
<h3>Memory Foam Mattresses</h3>
<p>Memory foam mattresses are popular. Originally developed by<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/offices/oct/40-years-of-nasa-spinoff/memory-foam" target="_self"> NASA</a> in 1970 as cushioning to keep test pilots safer, the viscoelastic product is now used in a variety of ways, including mattresses. As the mattress industry has evolved, so have foam mattresses. Some memory foam mattresses offer layers of several different types of foam, some denser for support, and others softer for breathability and cloud-like bliss. Leesa's<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress" target="_self"> Original</a> and<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/studio-mattress" target="_self"> Studio</a> mattresses are 100 percent memory foam.</p>
<h3>Latex Mattresses</h3>
<p>Latex is a material derived from the sap of rubber trees. A latex mattress tends to be quite durable. Most are hybrids, meaning they include inner springs support and layers of wool or cotton. They are also some of the most expensive mattresses. Many manufacturers of latex foam use synthetic or mixed materials. Manufacturers of latex mattresses like to tout latex's eco-friendly footprint. But that's not always true. Synthetic and mixed latex don't biodegrade and use chemicals harmful to the environment and to people.</p>
<h3>Traditional Innerspring Mattresses</h3>
<p>Innerspring mattresses are usually made with heavy coils, cotton batting, and sometimes a pillow-top layer. They are designed to be used on top of box springs , usually placed onto a traditional bed frame. Often, they are used in combination with mattress toppers.</p>
<h3>Hybrid Mattresses</h3>
<p>Hybrid mattresses like the Leesa<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-mattress" target="_self"> Sapira Hybrid</a> or the Leesa<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-legend-mattress" target="_self"> Legend Hybrid</a> mattress offer the best of both a memory foam mattress and an innerspring mattress. A hybrid mattress uses memory foam to provide pressure relief and comfort, while pocket springs provide support.</p>
<h3>Air Mattresses</h3>
<p>Air mattresses are typically used as temporary beds in guest rooms or as more comfortable places to sleep while camping. They were not designed for daily use. Today's air mattresses sometimes come with a padded top for extra comfort, as well as a storage bag and a pump.</p>
<h3>Futon Mattresses</h3>
<p>A futon mattress is a simple mattress filled with cotton batting. It's designed to fit a futon frame, which can convert into seating. Today's futon mattresses sometimes include an organic latex or memory foam core, providing more comfort and support.</p>
<h2>Sleep Position & Body Weight</h2>
<p>The way you sleep and how much you and your partner weigh can help you narrow the types of new mattresses you should consider.</p>
<h3>Back Sleepers</h3>
<p>Back sleepers usually do well on a memory foam mattress or a hybrid mattress, both of which protect from hip and back pain.</p>
<h3>Side Sleepers</h3>
<p>Side sleepers also do well on hybrids or memory foam. The cushiony memory foam relieves neck pain and supports the body's contour.</p>
<h3>Stomach Sleepers</h3>
<p>People who sleep on their stomachs often wake up with neck pain. This can be relieved when using a supportive mattress, either memory foam or hybrid, as well as a good pillow, like Leesa's premium<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/premium-foam-pillow" target="_self"> memory foam pillow</a>.</p>
<h3>Body Weight</h3>
<p>Memory foam mattresses usually support up to 300 pounds per person. But, if you or your partner are heavier, a hybrid is your mattress of choice. Leesa's hybrid mattresses support two sleepers up to 350 each, or a total load of 700 pounds. And, if you or your partner are both heavier and taller, you can opt for two Twin XLs on an adjustable base or a California King. All of Leesa's mattresses come in Twin XL and California King configurations.</p>
<h2>When To Replace a Mattress</h2>
<p>Does your mattress sag in the middle? It's time for a new bed. Is it older than 10 years? Probably time to replace your mattress. Once you receive your new Leesa mattress,<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-dispose-of-a-mattress" target="_self"> dispose</a> of it properly rather than having your garbage collector take it to the dump. About 90% of the materials in an innerspring mattress can be recycled.</p>

How Long Does a Mattress Last?

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If
 you've ever laid in bed staring at the ceiling, you're not alone. 
Sometimes it's hard to turn off your brain after a long day or the night
 before a big meeting or event. We've got your back — here are some of 
our favorite strategies to help you get to sleep faster so you can get 
the R&R you need.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Tips for Falling Asleep Fast</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There really are some easy ways to fall asleep fast — and stay asleep longer. Here are our 16 tips to fall asleep faster.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">1. Make sure your room's temperature is ideal for sleep.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sleep experts agree — the best temperature for sleep is 66-70 degrees.</span></p>

<br><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">2. Wear comfy, light clothing.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Nothing is worse than being hot while you sleep. Try loose light, cotton nightwear for your best rest.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">3. Beware of caffeine before bed.</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://leesa.com/article/can-tea-help-you-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You should limit your caffeine before bed</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.
 Too much caffeine may keep you from falling asleep (and staying 
asleep!). Caffeine impacts everyone differently, so if you can't have 
coffee after 1 p.m., then don't! It's not worth losing sleep over.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">4. Make sure you're getting enough exercise.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Exercise your muscles regularly to get your best sleep.</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/these-workouts-could-help-you-sleep-better" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Check out some of our favorite activities to do to sleep better at night. &gt;&gt;</span></a></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">5. Ban (or at least limit) screen time.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you can, you should </span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/5-reasons-to-ban-electronics-from-the-bedroom" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">ban electronics in the bedroom</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.
 The blue light that electronics emit keeps your brain active, which you
 don't want at bedtime. Banning electronics an hour or so before bed is a
 good habit to get into.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">6. Read a book before bed.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">An
 actual, physical paper book, rather than an electronic reading device, 
is best for bedtime reading. It helps relax your mind, and the story can
 help distract your brain from any stress or anxiety.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">6. Journal your thoughts and concerns.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This
 may sound silly, but if you get your concerns and worries out of your 
brain, it may help you get better rest. Alternatively, you can talk 
through problems or stressors with a partner or friend. Just set a time 
limit so that it doesn't consume your entire night.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">7. Avoid alcohol before bed.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Some
 people enjoy a "nightcap," but that late-night drink could actually 
negatively impact your rest. (Psst! It's also important to</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/are-hydration-and-sleep-connected-spoiler-yes" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> stay hydrated during the day.</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> That way, your body has the fuel it needs to recover while you sleep.)</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">8. Try playing white noise.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Buy a white noise machine, or download a </span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/soundtrack-for-better-rest-all-about-white-noise" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">white noise app</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> on your phone.</span><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
 constant, steady noise can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep 
by masking any outside noises or distractions, like a car outside or 
your partner snoring. Sounds can include raindrops, ocean waves, 
chirping insects, thunder, running water, and more.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">9. Have the right lighting.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dim the lights a few hours before bed to trigger your body to begin</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-melatonin-and-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> producing melatonin</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Melatonin is the natural hormone your brain releases that tell your body it's time for sleep.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">10. Make sure it's completely dark in your room.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Even the light from a clock or light from the hallway under the door can keep you awake. It goes back to</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-melatonin-and-sleep" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> melatonin production</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, and light can keep your body from producing the right amount to help you sleep.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">11. Take 4-7-8 breaths.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Try taking “relaxing breaths," also known as the</span><a href="https://www.drweil.com/videos-features/videos/the-4-7-8-breath-health-benefits-demonstration/" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> 4-7-8 exercise</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.
 Breathe in through your nose for four slow counts, hold your breath for
 seven, then slowly breathe out through your mouth for eight. This 
breathing pattern has the power to lower stress hormones and blood 
pressure (it's sometimes referred to as a natural tranquilizer).</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">12. Flip your pillow to the cool side.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Simple, but it works! Being too hot can keep you from falling and staying asleep. Want the ultimate cooling pillow experience?</span><a href="https://leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-pillow" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Check out our Hybrid pillow</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, made with cooling fibers and a cooling gel insert to keep you cool and comfortable while you snooze.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">13. Get the right pillow.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Make sure you have the</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/how-to-pick-the-right-pillow" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> right pillow for your sleeping position</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. A side sleeper needs a little more support from its pillow than a stomach sleeper.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">14. Find the right sleeping position for you.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If
 you sleep on your back, try placing a rolled towel under your knees. 
Or, if you're a side sleeper, tuck a pillow between your legs. Did you 
know that the </span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/sleep-positions-and-personalities" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">sleep position</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> you prefer may say a lot about your personality?</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">15. Meditate or do yoga.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Try</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/meditation-to-help-you-get-better-rest" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> nighttime meditation</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> or a</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/these-workouts-could-help-you-sleep-better" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> short yoga practice</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> before bed. There are also some handy apps that offer nighttime meditations, like Smiling Mind and Calm.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">16. Create a</span><a href="https://leesa.com/article/how-to-adjust-your-sleep-schedule" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> sleep schedule</span></a><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"> (and stick to it!).</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you aim for the same bedtime and wake time every day, it can help you fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If
 you're a parent, you already know that kids can have as much trouble 
getting to sleep as adults. Read about how to help your children</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-fall-asleep-fast-kids" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> sleep fast here. &gt;&gt;</span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whether
 it's a big step like buying a new Leesa mattress or pillow, or smaller 
steps like yoga, practicing mindfulness, journaling, doing breathing 
exercises, or avoiding caffeine and/or alcohol before bed, you'll 
increase your chances of falling to sleep within minutes — and staying 
asleep.</span></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">How Can Leesa Help? </span></h2>

<p>The
 period between being awake and going to sleep is called "sleep latency"
 by sleep scientists. In general, studies show the average sleep latency
 for adults is 15–20 minutes. However, this isn't necessarily always the
 case. Some people — power sleepers, we like to call them — fall asleep 
almost immediately. Others may take up to 20 minutes.</p><h3>How Do Soldiers Fall Asleep Fast?</h3>
<p>The
 U.S. Army teaches new recruits the secrets to falling asleep within two
 minutes in less than ideal situations. It consists of four simple 
steps: Lie down and relax your face, including the muscles around your 
eyes, your jaw, and your tongue. Drop your shoulders as far down as 
possible, followed by your arms, one side at a time. Do a deep exhale, 
intentionally relaxing your chest, followed by your thighs and legs. 
Clear your mind for 10 seconds with one of the following scenarios: 
Mentally repeat "don't think, don't think." Imagine you're lying in a 
black velvet hammock in a pitch-black room. Imagine you're lying in a 
canoe on a calm lake with a blue sky above you. Typically, this takes 
several weeks of practice before it starts to work, but some people 
report a much quicker result.</p><h3>What is The 15-Minute Sleep Rule?</h3>
<p>Invented
 by researchers at the University of Oxford in Great Britain, this rule 
states if you haven't dozed off within 15 minutes, get up, go into 
another room and repeat your wind-down routine again until you feel 
sleepy.</p>

<h2>Refresh your bedding</h2>
<p>No one wants to cuddle up in old, dingy bedding. If you have guests coming to stay, it may be a great time to refresh your bedding. Wash your sheets or splurge on some new ones and make sure your duvet or quilt is in good condition. Make sure you provide enough pillows and blankets so that your guests are comfortable, especially as the weather gets colder.</p>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: If you don't need to replace all of your guest bedding, try switching out your throw blanket and throw pillows to refresh your old bedding and make the room feel like fall.</p>
<h3>Is it time to upgrade your sheets?</h3>
<p>Have your sheets seen better days (or nights)? Maybe they're starting to get really thin or have picked after being washed so many times. Nothing beats that clean-sheet feeling, so welcome your guests with new, crisp sheets<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set"> (our Leesa Sheet Set is made from 100% organic cotton and are super soft, light and comfortable)</a>.</p>

<h2>Stock fresh linens in the guest bathroom</h2>
<p>Make sure that your hall and guest bathrooms are ready for company, from Friendsgiving to your annual holiday party. In any common bathroom guests will be using, make sure there are clean towels (for hand-drying!) and plenty of toilet paper. Lighting a candle during party time and making air freshener easily accessible is always a plus, too (especially in fall scents!).</p>
<p>For overnight guests, make sure the bathroom they'll be using has enough clean towels for showering, at least one hand towel and extra toilet paper. Other items you may want to stock for your guests include: cotton swabs, Q-tips, washcloths and hand lotion. And just like the other spaces in your home, a candle or air freshener can bring the feel of fall into your bathroom.</p>

<h2>Make your home smell like fall</h2>
<p>Your guests feel at home when they're welcomed by the smells of fall. Here are some of our favorite autumn scents:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pumpkin,</li>
<li>Cinnamon (or any spice-inspired scent),</li>
<li>Birchwood,</li>
<li>Vanilla,</li>
<li>Cranberry,</li>
<li>Marshmallow, and</li>
<li>Pine or cedar.</li>
</ul>
<p>The smell of baking cookies is also a great party trick. Pop a dozen cookies or so in the oven. The aroma will fill the house and your guests can enjoy freshly baked cookies. Or, try making homemade potpourri (there are tons of recipes on the internet!).</p>

<h2>Include fall elements throughout your home</h2>
<p>Pumpkins and candles and plaid, oh my! <a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/4-ways-to-refresh-your-space-for-fall">Adding a little fall decor to your home</a> can help cozy-up your space and make your guests feel welcome. Try fall-scented candles (like we just talked about), pumpkins made of different materials, shapes and sizes and accents that scream "fall."</p>
<p>We love anything in an autumn color palette: maroon, red, orange, mustard, navy blue, sage green. Mix and match solids, patterns and metallics in every space in your home to give those fall vibes. Plus, fall colors transition really well into winter, so when the time comes, you can just switch your pumpkins for snowmen.</p>
