Every problem experienced due to neglecting sleep-related products puts your health at risk. So, if we told you that healthy sleep is the only source of nourishment for mind and body renewal, would you continue to disregard its importance?

For those saying "absolutely continue," we have nothing to say. They're the elite forces who can sleep even on library chairs and travel 22-hour journeys with unknown bus companies in uninterrupted sleep. If you say "I love living and caring for myself," continue reading and rescue your health from poor-quality sleep conditions.

MATTRESS SELECTION

If a lion can't be recognized by where it sleeps due to poor conditions, it has made an error in mattress selection. While trying to stay away from all situations that drag our health into such poor conditions, we generally put sleep comfort in second place. When we realize that the lack of comfort, which seems like a minor problem, affects our entire life, it's often too late. To avoid rolling downhill into days filled with pain and morale-crushing discomfort, make sure you choose the most suitable mattress for yourself.

1. How Firm Should Your Mattress Be?

To understand how firm a mattress is, you first need to find the firmness level you require. This level is determined according to your body type, weight, and physique. Additionally, not everyone may describe the same mattress as soft or firm. Sleep doesn't lend itself to generalizations. Every sleeper has their own unique comfort style. If your mattress is too firm for you, it can put excessive pressure on your body. When it's too soft, it can negatively affect your body's posture and even accustom it to this negative reaction, distorting your body shape. Therefore, you need to test your mattress's firmness in person.

2. What Should Mattress Thickness Be?

Mattress thickness should be adjusted according to your weight. If you think you're overweight, you need a mattress thick enough to carry you with more comfortable principles. If you think the opposite – that you're underweight – you don't need high-level thickness. Just like in pillow preference, you can resort to memory foams. On the other hand, since these foams work through an inward-sinking method while taking shape, increased weight negatively affects the sleeping person. Therefore, the most suitable mattress type for heavier individuals is thick, spring-free, and orthopedic mattresses.

PILLOW SELECTION

On an intense day where it's obvious from your appearance that you'll be tired and worn out, the fantasy of putting your head on a pillow and sleeping keeps you standing. If you don't have such fantasies, it probably means there's no perfect pillow waiting for you at home either. The pillow, which literally comes at the "head" of products that will provide you with the best sleep, plays an incredible role in the rest you provide your body. Therefore, you need to choose the most suitable pillow to maximize your resting comfort.
