Top 6 Healthy Benefits of Sleeping on a Foam Bed

Foam beds have gained popularity over the past two decades or so, and it’s for some pretty good reasons. Memory foam has a rich history, and I can’t recall just how many times I’ve heard a mattress sales agent narrate it to customers. Memory foam constitutes a viscoelastic material whose first application was in NASA in the 1960s. It wasn’t until the 1990s that its use rolled over to the mattress industry and some other applications. The fact that it was used in NASA, of course, adds points to it but it’s also essential to mention the many health benefits that come with using the foam beds. I have identified a list of 6 healthy benefits that come with sleeping on a foam bed and what makes it be on the list of top beds.

Top 6 Healthy Benefits of Sleeping on a Foam Bed

  1. Hypo-Allergic

Individuals with allergies are often advised to use foam beds. This is because they are made using mostly hypo-allergic material. However, off-gassing has been an issue, but the organic memory foam mattress seems to have solved the problem. Other than that, the fibers used and the dense nature of the mattress prevents things such as dust mites and molds which are among the top allergens. Pet dander and molds don’t find a way into the mattress while dust mites are repelled. This isn’t just bad for people with allergies; anyone can be affected. Therefore, foam beds offer an excellent solution for healthy sleeping.

  1. Spine Alignment

The foam beds mold to your body shape in response to pressure and temperature. A good mattress will conform to your body shape and thus align your spine on the bed appropriately.

  1. Back Support

Back support is a crucial aspect when getting a mattress. Foam beds offer excellent back and overall body support. The result? No backaches or soreness!

  1. Can Accommodate Different Sleeping Positions

Your mattress needs to complement your sleeping position. Initially, I was among those who picked whichever mattress fancied them. This is a wrong kind of thinking. The reality is, no one mattress can be perfect for everyone. However, foam beds are almost close to doing so. This is because memory foam mattresses can accommodate different sleeping positions, that is, back, stomach or side sleeping. This is a crucial aspect of our health since a mattress that does not compliment your sleeping position has a higher chance of causing harm to your body.

  1. Pain Relief and Prevention

The viscoelastic material in foam beds takes the stress off pressure points on your body. Plus, it can detect areas of high temperature and either reduce or increase pressure accordingly. Based on the design of the memory foam bed, it can relieve pain, soreness and body aches. Interestingly, it can also speed up the recovery of injuries thanks to the temperature response.

  1. Quality Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for healthy living. Without quality sleep, we fail to perform well during the day. So how does a foam bed offer quality sleep?

  • Temperature control: Foam beds have been designed with technology that reduces overheating. When they were first introduced to the market, the temperature was an issue. However, over the years, they have corrected the problem with technology such as using gel foam and improved mattress ventilation, among others.
  • Motion Transfer: Nothing is as irritating as having to wake up every time your bedmate turns, that’s if you have a partner. We fail to get quality sleep when our sleep is constantly interrupted. Foam beds minimize motion transfer.

Temperature and motion transfer are among the culprits that affect the quality of our sleep which eventually leads to health complications.

Foam beds are the best not just because they offer excellent comfort but because they offer a host of health benefits for all.
