A low-quality single mattress can immensely reduce the quality of your sleep. This will prevent your brain from resting properly. Although this will not cause any major problems over a short period of time, in the long run, this can create very big problems to your health. Fortunately, that can be prevented by using a high-quality memory foam mattress.

A normal bed that uses springs will strain some parts of your body because it cannot spread the pressure properly, concentrating it in some specific places, like shoulders and hips. In time, this will cause you to feel aches in the morning and, over the years, it can become a permanent problem because some of your ligaments will be permanently damaged.

The strain also affects the brain’s normal operation that it should have while you sleep. This will prevent it to focus on recovering the damage accumulated by your body during the day and, over time, this will become devasting for your mental health, especially the problems that will appear in your daily life because of this. Fortunately, they can be easily prevented by switching the mattress with a high-quality one.

How Does a Memory Foam Mattress Work?

A  memory foam mattress  is made from a material with amazing proprieties that were discovered in recent years and is also used to make pillows because it has enormous benefits for human sleep. It works exactly how the name suggests. The foam has the property to remember the shape of your body. This is the ability that it confers to the mattresses and pillows and it is responsible for the great health benefits that made it the number one choice for every person that understands the importance sleep has in a human’s life.

By molding after the shape of your body, it distributes the pressure (that would otherwise be focused on some parts, like hips and shoulders) equally on all your body’s surface. This will prevent the morning aches caused by the damage accumulated over time because of the strain your body is subjected to during the night while using a regular spring mattress. The damage from the past will also be slowly cured while using a mattress made from this miracle material. At first, the pain will be greatly reduced and with time it will permanently disappear together with the harm your old bed has done to you.

The brain will also rest properly because the body is more relaxed. It does not need to partially focus on the strain and the pressure it constantly applies on your shoulders and hips anymore. It will, instead, start to focus on recovering the past health problems it could not repair before because of the ongoing tension they were under. Your brain will also improve your mental abilities, like concentration and memory, together with some abilities of the body, like your reflexes and immune system.

What Multiplies the Effects a Single Mattress with Memory Foam Has?

A memory foam mattress cannot provide you a perfect sleep by itself because there are other factors that can influence negatively the quality of your sleep and the benefits that a  single mattress can offer you. Two of the most important ones are:

- Light. The one with the most influence is the light around you before and during sleep. If you use the phone or computer before going to bed then your brain will be tricked into believing that it is still daytime and this will increase the difficulty of falling asleep as well as the quality of the sleep itself. The best-case scenario would be to stop staying in front of the computer or the phone with 3 hours before going to sleep and the light in the room to be absolutely zero because even in the smallest quantity it can influence your brain’s reactions and this will cause the benefits it should otherwise provide in full to be reduced.

- Sound. Another important factor is the noise around while you are asleep. Even though some music can help you fall asleep faster it still causes the brain to focus a part of its energy on hearing. And this could otherwise be used in more benefic ways. Silence is the best noise for the brain while you are sleeping.

While these factors are important by themselves, without a mattress that can provide a night of good quality sleep, they cannot help you very much. It is important to do your own research and find a single mattress that will make sure that the time spent sleeping provides all the benefits it should.
