Buying Guide

<p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Searching for the best mattress for combination sleepers can feel like navigating a maze. Their specific sleeping style requires a bed that adapts seamlessly to their shifting positions throughout the night, making it important to find a sleep surface that provides comfort, support, and adaptability, regardless of their sleeping position.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Features like medium firmness, hybrid or memory foam materials, and temperature or motion control can be beneficial for the combination sleeper. The purchasing experience is also important, with trial periods, warranties, and return policies providing assurance and support. Together, these elements ensure restorative sleep and peace of mind for the buyer.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>This detailed guide is designed to help combination sleepers choose the right mattress, guaranteeing deep, rejuvenating sleep, night after night.</span></p><h2>What is Combination Sleeping?</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Combination sleeping refers to the practice of </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-positions-and-personalities"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>changing sleeping positions</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> multiple times throughout the night. This dynamic sleep pattern needs a mattress that can accommodate changes in pressure points and support needs. To ensure transitions are smooth and sleep is undisturbed, the ideal mattress must offer a blend of responsiveness and support.</span></p><h2>Factors to Consider When Shopping for Combination Sleepers</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>When hunting for the best mattress for combination sleepers, certain factors stand out as particularly crucial. One key consideration is the firmness level.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>It's essential to find a mattress that strikes the perfect balance between softness and support. A medium-firm mattress often serves as the ideal middle ground. This firmness level supports your spine </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-start-sleeping-on-your-back"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>when sleeping on your back</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> or stomach, and is soft enough for comfortable side sleeping.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Another factor to consider is the material composition of the mattress. Materials like memory foam and latex are known for their contouring properties and ability to distribute weight evenly. Ultimately, these features reduce pressure points that can lead to tossing and turning.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Finally, </span><a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/research-methodology/motion-isolation"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>motion isolation</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> is a particularly important factor for combination sleepers. This feature allows one partner to move without disturbing the other’s sleep. Coupled with effective temperature regulation, these features ensure cool, comfortable sleep for combination sleepers.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Let's further explore these aspects to ensure your selection meets all your sleep needs.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Firmness Level</span></h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>The firmness level of a mattress is important to finding the perfect blend of comfort and support. For combination sleepers, who rotate between sleeping on their side, back, and stomach, a medium-firm mattress is often the ideal choice.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>This firmness level will provide a responsive sleeping surface that promotes a restful night without sacrificing comfort or support. It will also provide the necessary support to maintain spinal alignment and prevent any undue strain, while also being soft enough to fit the shape of your body.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Material Composition</span></h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Offering a blend of support, comfort, and durability, memory foam, latex, and hybrid materials are ideal for combination sleepers. Memory foam molds to the body for pressure relief while latex provides responsive support with cooling benefits. Finally, hybrids combine foam comfort with coil support, adapting well to various sleeping positions for restful sleep.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Motion Isolation</span></h3><p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/benefits-of-sharing-a-bed-with-someone"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>For couples or anyone sharing a bed</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>, the importance of motion isolation cannot be overstated. Motion isolation is the feature that keeps one partner's movements from waking the other. </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>High-quality memory foam</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> and hybrid mattresses are especially effective in this regard, absorbing movement so both partners enjoy undisturbed sleep. This feature can be a game-changer for light sleepers or those with different schedules, ensuring a peaceful night's rest for everyone.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Temperature Regulation</span></h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Combination sleepers need a mattress that stays cool, as changing positions can generate extra heat. Breathable materials like gel-infused memory foam, latex, and hybrids with cooling features help regulate temperature by promoting airflow and drawing heat away from the body. These technologies ensure a comfortable sleeping environment, preventing overheating and enhancing sleep quality.</span></p><h2><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Best Mattresses for Combination Sleepers</span></h2><p><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/what-is-a-hybrid-mattress"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Hybrid mattresses are ideal for combination sleepers</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>, blending innerspring support with memory foam or latex for a mix of bounce and comfort. Celebrated for their deep conforming properties, memory foam mattresses distribute weight evenly to alleviate pressure points. They are also ideal for those who value motion isolation.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Latex mattresses, often preferred for their eco-friendliness and natural cooling properties, offer a responsive surface that adjusts quickly to movement. Featuring a classic coil structure, innerspring mattresses are another option for combination sleepers. These mattresses provide a firmer feel and better airflow, which may </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleeping-hot"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>appeal to those who sleep hot</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> or need more support. Each mattress type offers distinct advantages and drawbacks, meeting the varied needs of combination sleepers.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Let's explore the types of mattresses that cater best to the needs of combination sleepers, weighing their pros and cons.</span></p><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Hybrid Mattress</span></h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Hybrid mattresses blend coil and foam technologies to deliver support, comfort, and breathability. They combine the durability and spinal alignment benefits of coils with the pressure relief and body-contouring properties of foam layers, such as memory foam or latex. This structure not only supports various sleeping positions but also enhances airflow, keeping the mattress cool.</span></p>

<p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Pros</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Excellent support and comfort</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Good airflow, reducing heat retention</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Durable and long-lasting</span></p></li></ul><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Cons</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Can be expensive</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Some models may have motion transfer</span></p></li></ul><h3><span style='color:rgb(25, 27, 35);'>Memory Foam Mattress</span></h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Hybrid mattresses stand out as a top choice for combination sleepers, offering a perfect blend of innerspring support for a balance of bounce and comfort. But, this raises an important question: is memory foam good for combination sleepers?</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Absolutely! Celebrated for its deep conforming properties, memory foam is a great option for combination sleepers. These mattresses work to distribute weight evenly, alleviating pressure points and excelling in motion isolation.</span></p><p></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Pros</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Exceptional pressure relief</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Good motion isolation</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Adapts well to body shape</span></p></li></ul><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Cons</span></p><ul><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Can retain heat</span></p></li><li><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Some sleepers may find it too soft</span></p></li></ul>

What is The Best Mattress for Combination Sleepers? A Complete Guide

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Getting a good night's sleep is key to our overall well-being, so choosing the right mattress is an important decision. Memory foam mattresses stand out among all mattresses for their exceptional comfort and support. But one common question people have is, "How long do they actually last?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In this article, we'll dive into memory foam mattresses and their typical lifespan.</span></p><h2>The Standard Tale of Memory Foam Mattresses</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Do you know how long your mattress should last? If you've had the same mattress for years and it's beginning to show signs of wear and tear, it may be time to replace it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The lifespan of your mattress can depend on the type of mattress and the quality of the materials used to make it. Lately,</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-mattress"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> memory foam mattresses</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> have gained popularity because of the way they contour the body and offer great support.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">But, just like any mattress, memory foam has a limited lifespan. Typically, memory foam mattresses last about 8 to 10 years. Yet, this can change depending on how you use and maintain them, along with their overall quality.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now that we've covered</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/when-to-replace-a-mattress"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> when it's time for a mattress replacement</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, let's dive into the signs of wear and tear. We'll also check out some tips on how to keep your mattress going strong and when it might be time to think about a replacement.</span></p>

<h2>The Unexplored Factors</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Curious about the key factors influencing the lifespan of memory foam mattresses? Let's take a look!</span></p><h3>The Impact of Body Weight</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Heavier individuals might notice more compression on the mattress, which could have an impact on how long it lasts. Plus, regularly sitting on the edge of the bed can cause more wear and tear, affecting its lifespan.</span></p><h3>Quality Matters More Than You Think</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The overall</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/memory-foam-101-everything-you-need-to-know"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> quality of materials in a mattress</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> plays a significant role in its longevity. Choosing a trusted brand that uses superior materials is a wise choice.</span></p><h2>Debunking Common Myths About Memory Foam Mattresses</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Say goodbye to myths and misconceptions! Discover the truth as we reveal the real facts about their durability, cost, and heat retention.</span></p><h3>Signs of Aging or Just Wrinkles?</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Reality: Not all signs of aging in memory foam mattresses are concerning. Regular body impressions and minor indentations are normal wear. But if you notice excessive sagging, lumps, or changes in comfort, it's a sign that you may need to replace your mattress.</span></p><h3>Memory Foam Mattresses Trap Heat</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Reality: Advances in memory foam technology include</span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/mattress-cooling"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> cooling features to combat heat retention</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Not all memory foam mattresses retain heat, and choices with cooling properties are widely available.</span></p><h3>How Long is Too Long for a Mattress?</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The lifespan of a memory foam mattress can vary, but it's generally a good idea to replace it every 8–10 years. This ensures that you experience comfort and support throughout the mattress's extended lifespan.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If your memory foam mattress becomes uncomfortable, loses support, or shows wear and tear, it may be time to get a new one. This way, you can keep enjoying the comfort and support you need for a good night's sleep.</span></p>

<h2>Sleep Better with a Memory Foam Mattress</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you're tired of</span><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29073401/"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> restless nights and groggy mornings</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, it's time to upgrade to a Leesa memory foam mattress.

How Long Do Memory Foam Mattresses Last? Unraveling the Surprising Truth

<p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets are everywhere and come in all different styles, sizes, and materials. Fans of them claim everything from reduced anxiety to deeper, more restful sleep. But do weighted blankets really live up to the hype?</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>The short answer is—yes! Weighted blankets can help calm your mind and promote better sleep, and plenty of people love snuggling up under their comforting pressure. But they do have a few potential downsides and aren’t the best option for everyone.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Let’s dive deeper into the weighted blanket pros and cons, so you can decide whether it’s the right bedding choice for you.</span></p><h2>Pros of Weighted Blankets</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Jumping right into the weighted blanket pros and cons, we’ll look at the benefits of weighted blankets first. Here’s what a weighted blanket really can offer:</span></p><h3>Improved Sleep Quality</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets work by providing what’s known as </span><a href="https://www.appliedbehavioranalysisedu.org/what-is-deep-pressure-stimulation/"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>deep pressure touch (DPT) or deep pressure stimulation (DPS)</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>. The blanket applies firm but gentle pressure to your whole body, which relaxes your nervous system, causing your body to switch from sympathetic nervous system mode (alert and aware) to parasympathetic mode (rest and recover).</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>To put it simply, the pressure from the blanket helps convince your mind and body that it’s relaxing time, not stress-out time. So your body responds by producing more of the feel-good hormones, serotonin and dopamine, as well as melatonin, calming your mind and putting it in rest mode. And with a calm mind and body, it’s much easier to </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/16-tips-to-fall-asleep-faster"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>fall asleep and stay asleep</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>People who toss and turn at night or suffer from restless leg syndrome may also find that a weighted blanket helps limit their movement at night, allowing them to get deeper, more restful sleep.</span></p><h3>Anxiety and Stress Reduction</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Another one of the benefits of a weighted blanket is anxiety and stress relief. </span><a href="https://healthmatch.io/anxiety/how-do-weighted-blankets-help-with-anxiety#overview"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Multiple studies</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> have shown that weighted blankets have a positive effect on all types of anxiety disorders, thanks to the DPT they provide.&nbsp;<br />In addition to overriding the fight or flight nervous system and increasing serotonin and dopamine, weighted blankets also decrease levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. As a result, people who suffer from stress or anxiety often find that their minds are calmer and their thoughts stop racing when snuggled up under a weighted blanket.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>So if you find yourself lying awake at night with a million thoughts running through your head, unable to fall asleep (and then stressing out further because you can’t fall asleep), a weighted blanket can be a great tool.</span></p>

<p></p><h3>Benefits for Special Populations</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Weighted blankets can be especially beneficial for people with autism or sensory processing needs. Many individuals with autism find the deep, full-body pressure of weighted blankets comforting and calming. As an added bonus, in addition to the effects on their bodies’ nervous systems, weighted blankets also help fulfill their sensory needs.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>People with autism often have what’s called </span><a href="http://www.milestonesnh.com/PDFResources/Proprioceptive-Dysfunction.pdf"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>proprioceptive dysfunction</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>, which means that they struggle with physical self-awareness. The proprioceptive system tells us where each part of our body is in relation to our surroundings. So if this system is not functioning properly, it affects coordination and self-regulation.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Individuals with proprioceptive dysfunction and other sensory processing disorders tend to seek out sensory or tactile input because it provides a sense of comfort, security, and reassurance. A weighted blanket is an excellent way for them to get this sensory input all night long.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Cons of Weighted Blankets</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Despite all the benefits of a weighted blanket, not everyone will find one cozy and comforting. There are a few cons of weighted blankets, including:</span></p><h3>Potential Discomfort</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>While cold sleepers appreciate the extra warmth of most weighted blankets, </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleep-tips-for-hot-sleepers"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>hot sleepers</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> might feel like they’re in an oven. Many weighted blankets are filled with sand, glass, or plastic beads, which reduce breathability and trap heat. The good news is there are plenty of cooling weighted blankets out there now too, individuals who experience </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/sleeping-hot"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>sleeping hot</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> can still reap the advantages of a weighted blanket without the concern of overheating.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Some people also need time to adjust to the feel of a weighted blanket. If you’re new to sleeping with one and find it uncomfortable, give it a few weeks to let your body get accustomed to the weight.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Also, it’s important to make sure you’re using the right size and weight. Aim for around 10% of your body weight, and make sure that the blanket doesn’t extend past the sides of your bed. If it’s too big for your bed, the overhang will pull down on the blanket, making it feel heavier.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>That being said, some people just don’t like the feeling of a weighted blanket—and that’s okay! Weighted blanket pros and cons can vary from person to person. The best blanket is the one that helps you sleep comfortably night after night.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Weight and Size Considerations</h3><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Another one of the cons of weighted blankets is, ironically, their size and weight. They tend to be heavy and bulky, so it can be a challenge to handle, wash, and store them—especially if you have a King- or Queen-size blanket for sharing.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Some </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/hand-knit-weighted-blanket"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>weighted blankets</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> are machine-washable, others are spot-clean only, and some have removable covers you can wash. But fair warning—even the ones that claim to be machine-washable get extremely heavy when wet and can potentially damage your washer or dryer. At the very least, it might sound like there’s a drum line practicing in your laundry room, and you’ll likely find yourself running the dryer multiple times to get your blanket completely dry.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>In addition, people with limited mobility may find that they can’t move comfortably under the weight of an appropriately sized weighted blanket. In this case, they might need a lighter blanket than the recommended 10% of body weight. Individuals with chronic pain or claustrophobia may also want to opt for a lower-weight blanket, as too much pressure can cause discomfort.</span></p><h2>Sleep Like a Dream with the Comfort of a Leesa-Weighted Blanket</h2><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Now that you know all of the weighted blanket pros and cons, you can decide for yourself if a weighted blanket will send you off to dreamland or if you need a lighter option. Bedding always comes down to personal needs and preferences, so what’s right for one person may be completely wrong for another.</span></p><p><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>If a weighted blanket sounds right for you, give the </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/hand-knit-weighted-blanket"><span style='font-size: 11pt;'>Leesa Hand-Knit Weighted Blanket</span></a><span style='font-size: 11pt;'> a try. Its breathable, open-knit design is perfect for hot sleepers, and if you discover a heavy blanket doesn’t lull you to sleep after all—no problem! You can try it for 30 nights, risk-free.</span></p>

You should look for a blanket about 10% of your body weight that fits on your bed with no overhang. If you’re in between blanket weights, it’s better to go with the lighter option than the heavier one.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">Who should not use a weighted blanket?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">While weighted blankets are beneficial for many people, some should not use a weighted blanket. People with sleep apnea or asthma shouldn’t use weighted blankets because they can put extra pressure on airways, making it harder for them to breathe.

<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://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-hybrid-pillow" target="_self"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Check out our <a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/ultra-cool-memory-foam-pillow" target="_self">Ultra Cool Memory Foam Pillow</a>, made with a cool-to-the-touch cover that pulls heat away from your body while you snooze.</span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">13.

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><br /><br /><br /><br />

16 Tips to Fall Asleep Faster

<p>If you're wondering how long does a mattress last, it may be because you're experiencing some of the tell-tale signs that your bed is on its last legs. Things like tossing and turning, a sagging mattress, waking up with aches and pains, and more may be bothering you and signaling that it’s time for a change. Read on to learn more about your mattress's life span.</p><h2>How Long Should a Mattress Last?</h2><p>Depending on the type of mattress you sleep on, a mattress should last between<a href="https://bettersleep.org/mattress-education/replacing-a-mattress/"> seven and 10 years.</a></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Mattress Type</p></td><td><p>Typical Lifespan</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Innerspring</p></td><td><p>10 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hybrid</p></td><td><p>10-12 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Memory Foam</p></td><td><p>7-10 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Latex</p></td><td><p>10-12 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Futon</p></td><td><p>10 years</p></td></tr></tbody></table><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"> 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">bed bugs</a>. Routine<a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-do-i-clean-my-mattress"> 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/"> 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"> 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/">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"> 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"> Original</a> and<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/studio-mattress"> 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"> Sapira Hybrid</a> or the Leesa<a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-legend-mattress"> 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 individually wrapped 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>

<p></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 &amp; 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"> 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.

About 90% of the materials in an innerspring mattress can be recycled.</p><h2>FAQS</h2><h3>Can a mattress last 20 years?</h3><p>It's possible, but it's highly unlikely a 20-year-old mattress will be comfortable or healthy to sleep on. Replace your mattress after seven to 10 years of use.</p><h3>How can I make my mattress last longer?</h3><p>Properly caring for your mattress will increase its life expectancy.

<p>If you're wondering how long does a mattress last, it may be because you're experiencing some of the tell-tale signs that your bed is on its last legs. Things like tossing and turning, a sagging mattress, waking up with aches and pains, and more may be bothering you and signaling that it’s time for a change. Read on to learn more about your mattress's life span.</p><h2>How Long Should a Mattress Last?</h2><p>Depending on the type of mattress you sleep on, a mattress should last between<a href="https://bettersleep.org/mattress-education/replacing-a-mattress/" target="_self"> seven and 10 years.</a></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Mattress Type</p></td><td><p>Typical Lifespan</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Innerspring</p></td><td><p>10 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hybrid</p></td><td><p>10-12 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Memory Foam</p></td><td><p>7-10 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Latex</p></td><td><p>10-12 years</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Futon</p></td><td><p>10 years</p></td></tr></tbody></table><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.

We can help with that.</span></p>

<h2>Refresh your Guest Bedding</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">No one wants to sleep on old, dingy bedding after a long day in a car or on a plane. If you have guests coming to stay, it’s a great time to refresh your guest bedding. Wash your sheets or splurge on some new ones, and make sure your duvet or quilt is in good condition. Be sure to provide enough pillows and blankets so that your guests are comfortable, especially as the weather gets colder.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tip: 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. Bonus if the new pieces make the room feel seasonal—fall and holiday themes can be very welcoming.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Is it time to upgrade your sheets?</h3><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have your sheets seen better days (or nights)? Maybe they're starting to get really thin or pilly after being washed so many times. Nothing beats that clean-sheet feeling, so welcome your guests with new, crisp sheets (our </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/products/leesa-sheet-set"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bamboo Cotton Sheet Set</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is super soft, light, and comfortable).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Finish up by </span><a href="https://www.leesa.com/article/how-to-make-the-perfect-bed"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">making the perfect</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> layered bed so all that new bedding pops. Your guests will feel like they're staying in a luxury hotel.</span></p>

<h2>Stock Fresh Linens in the Guest Bathroom</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Make sure that your hall and guest bathrooms are ready for company. 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!).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">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.</span></p><h2>Make your Home Smell like the Season</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Your guests will feel comfortable and cozy when they're welcomed by </span><a href="https://www.bhg.com/decorating/seasonal/fall/diy-ways-to-make-your-home-smell-like-fall/"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">the smells of fall</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Here are some of our favorite autumn scents:</span></p><ul><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pumpkin</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cinnamon (or any spice-inspired scent)</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Birchwood</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Vanilla</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cranberry or apple</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Marshmallow</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pine or cedar</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Many of those smells work great in the winter, too, especially woodsy scents like birch and pine.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The smell of baking cookies is also a great party trick in any season. 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!).&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Include Fall Elements Throughout your Home</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pumpkins and candles and plaid, oh my! </span><a href="https://www.southernliving.com/interior-designers-favorite-fall-decor-items-7966317"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Adding a little fall decor</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> to your home can help cozy up your space and make your guests feel welcome. Try fall-scented candles (like we just talked about), pumpkins in different materials, shapes, and sizes, and accents that scream "fall."</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We love anything in an autumn color palette: maroon, red, orange, mustard, navy blue, and sage green. Mix and match solids, patterns, and metallics in every space in your home to give those fall vibes. Plus, fall colors transition well into winter, so when the time comes, you can just switch out your pumpkins for snowmen and cranberries for holly. This strategy can save you time and money on holiday-specific decorations or complement whichever holidays you do celebrate.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You don’t have to spend a fortune to give your house a holiday makeover—there are </span><a href="https://www.countryliving.com/diy-crafts/g1533/fall-crafts/"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">tons of budget-friendly DIY decoration projects</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> that you can do with things you probably already have. And while you’re crafting, you can even make some </span><a href="https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/holidays-celebrations/gifts/g33416427/diy-christmas-gifts/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_pw_md_dsa_hybd_mix_us_20546038685&gclid=CjwKCAjws9ipBhB1EiwAccEi1Eox8v3nfkFYhKdJsB3jFF29YubIJKKERpa5f6xmhw2LCLWr8S76iRoCAG4QAvD_BwE"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">homemade gifts</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and holiday cards for your guests.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tip: If you’re going to be traveling for the holidays yourself and need to prepare your house for vacation, opt for faux pumpkins and gourds that won’t go bad while you’re gone!&nbsp;</span></p><h2>Shop Sales</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Stretch your holiday budget further by shopping for Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving dinner. Take some time to make a list of each person you need to buy for, along with potential gift ideas. Then browse the holiday sales and keep an eye out for gifts that fit the bill.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you don’t find anything right away, don’t stress! Most stores will have sales running throughout the busy holiday season, so you’re sure to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list—without breaking the bank.</span></p><h2>Preparing for the Holidays with Leesa</h2><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Holiday preparations can feel overwhelming—but with Leesa, they don’t have to be! Whether you’re prepping for guests or need to prepare your house for vacation in the season ahead, use this handy checklist to make getting ready for the holidays stress-free.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">And when it comes to keeping your guests cozy and comfortable, Leesa has your back (and theirs!) With quality bedding from Leesa, you can make your guest bed an inviting space and maybe even check off a few holiday gifts while you’re at it.&nbsp;</span></p><h2>FAQs</h2><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">What are the best color schemes for a festive home?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">The best color schemes for a festive holiday home bring the look and feel of nature indoors. So when you're getting ready for the holidays, think of changing leaves, vibrant pumpkins, blooming mums, crisp apples, or snow-covered pines. To make your holiday preparation as easy as possible, coordinate your fall and winter decor with complementary colors so you can use the same color scheme all season long.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">How can I ensure a comfortable stay for overnight guests during the holidays?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">A comfortable, cozy bed and a clean, well-stocked bathroom will delight any overnight holiday guests. Start by cleaning and refreshing or updating your guest bedding, including the mattress. You’ll also want to make sure your guest bathroom is fully stocked with plenty of bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, toilet paper, and any toiletries your guests might need. Finally, fall-scented air fresheners and candles can help create a homey holiday atmosphere that your visitors will love.</p></div></div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question" class="faq-question"><h3 itemprop="name" class="faq-q">How can I transition my holiday decor from fall to winter seamlessly?</h3><div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text" class="faq-a">The easiest way to transition your decor throughout the holiday season is to start with a color scheme that goes seamlessly from fall to winter. Dark green, maroon, sage, mustard, red, and orange can be adapted to fit your decor all season long. You can also focus on using natural elements, such as pine cones, acorns, and evergreen boughs, rather than holiday-centric decor, for a perfect holiday look from Thanksgiving to New Year’s.</p></div></div></div>
