How Your Bed Base Affects the Feel of Your Mattress

When furnishing the bedroom, lots of people are more likely to spend time choosing a mattress compared to when choosing a bed. That’s completely understandable because your choice of mattress will determine your comfort. For most folks, they make their choice for beds based on their appearance and quality only. So as long as it suits the look they’re going for in their bedroom and they’re sturdy enough to handle a good deal of weight.

While prioritizing the styling and visual design of a bed is important, it’s also crucial to keep in mind that bed bases have structural participation in the integrity and performance of your bed as a unit. The mattress does a lot when it comes to providing support and comfort to sleepers but it also requires support if it’s to stay in shape and do its job.

So if you want to know more about what a good bed base can do for you, keep reading.

A good bed base will keep your mattress in shape for a longer time.

As mentioned above, a good bed base can provide adequate support to the mattress. This is necessary so it won’t bend out of shape when you put weight on your mattress.

One good way to demonstrate this is how we don’t recommend using bed frames with slats with soft foam mattresses. The design is not bad in itself, in fact, it’s good for distributing weight, but soft foam can be pushed in between the slats and cause some deformation in the process. This can affect the lifespan and performance of your foam mattress.

If you can’t switch to something else right away, hope is not lost. One solution we recommend is getting a sheet of plywood and placing it in between the slats and the foam mattress. This will provide additional support to the mattress and will keep it from getting pushed in between the gaps.

A good bed base can boost the comfort of your mattress.

In some cases, when a mattress doesn’t feel right, especially compared to how it felt in the store, the reason will most likely be the bed base. This is usually experienced by those with relatively thinner mattresses, particularly foam mattresses.

Again, a good example is between a thin, soft foam mattress and a slatted bed base. Since there’s not much between you and the bed base when you lie down on your soft mattress, you may end up feeling the slats.

A good bed base will also ensure that your back is adequately supported. If there’s a give on the bed base, it will definitely be felt on the mattress. So if you need the best back support, it can be felt on the mattress as well.

A nice bed base will keep your mattress in place.

One of the most annoying things that can happen when you’re on the bed is when it slides around as you also move on top of it. It will affect your comfort and will make you feel like you’re not on a stable surface.

This is why it’s best to get a good bed base that fits your mattress nicely to ensure that it won’t slide around. Some bed bases even have slightly raised sides to further ensure that the mattress will not move so you can check those out as well.

One tip, however, is to avoid them if your mattress has a zipperized cover like our G-Foam, Mercure, Esplanade, or Meridien. The seams on the zipper can be pulled up repeatedly by movements made on top of the bed so they can end up fraying. To avoid this, we don’t recommend using such foam mattresses on such bed bases.

The right bed base will put your mattress at an ideal height.

To make your mattress more comfortable, it’s best to put it at the right height. Make sure that it’s not too difficult for you to climb in and out of so you won’t struggle when getting in and out of bed.

Beds come in different heights so you have lots of choices when choosing. Make sure to take into consideration the height of your mattress as well, though, so you can get the exact height that you need.

How to Sleep Peacefully with a Blanket Hog

While not all of us sleep under the covers in this tropical country, those who do might struggle when their bed partner turns out to be a blanket hog. These people who ‘steals’ the blankets to wrap themselves up nice and toasty in the middle of the night might leave their bed partner with nothing to cover themselves with. Most folks experience sleep disturbance in such instances, especially when the temperature starts to drop. If you always find yourself blanket-less at night and your bed partner wrapped like a burrito, you might need to take some effective measures to deal with the situation.

Why do some people hog the covers?

To best address the problem at hand, we should look at the reason behind the behavior of blanket-stealing. According to a survey, this could stem from childhood sleeping habits. Folks who used to sleep cuddled with a plush toy or doll, as well as those who slept with a baby blanket, are most likely to hog the sheets in adulthood. A lower number of those who are used to sleeping on their own will do the same.

How to deal with someone who hogs the covers?

What should you do if your bed partner hogs the blanket and it’s affecting your zzz’s? Here are some easy tricks to try:

Use separate blankets.

It’s a quick and effective solution that will ensure you’ll stay covered all night long.

Get a bigger blanket.

Doing this will, at the very least, leave you some portion of the bedding.

Tuck the sheets in.

By making it harder for the blanket hogger to take the covers from you, you might be able to stop them from their thieving ways.

Cuddle!

A hug has great effects on a person and can quickly boost one’s comfort and sense of security. It will also help them get warmer so they won’t need to steal the blanket.

Get a smaller bed.

This may seem severe but if everything else fails, downsizing your bed could help. This will force you and your bed partner to sleep closer to each other so they won’t be able to pull the covers too far from you at night. If you’re planning on changing things up in your bedroom, this can be an option. Just don’t go smaller than a double (54″ width) bed as anything narrower might be too small for the both of you already.

Train the blanket hogger to stop taking the covers.

You can also try to train your bed partner to stop taking the sheets. Here are some tips on how to do this.

Like in correcting other sleep issues, dealing with a blanket hogger can take a while but it’s definitely possible to address. Try these tricks and you’ll find yourself sleeping better if this is the only thing that’s affecting your sleep.

What is ‘Revenge Bedtime Procrastination’ and Are You a Victim to It?

A term that has been gaining a lot of attention lately in the sleep industry is ‘revenge bedtime procrastination’. This phenomenon refers to the behavior of people to intentionally delay their bedtime because they want to spend time doing what they want. The ‘revenge’ part refers to the act of taking back the time one might have lost during the day doing something they do not like or enjoy.

The term is coined and popular in China. With their notorious ‘996 schedule’ which refers to a work schedule of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week. This amounts to 72 hours of work in a week, something that some countries will consider criminally high.

And with so much time spent at work, people can barely do anything else in their days anymore. Forget hobbies, meeting up with friends, or even having some substantial family time since there are other things that can take up one’s time like commute and sleep.

Unfortunately, in such cases, sleep has become the most expendable activity for many. Instead of sleeping, many opt to stay awake instead so they can still do other things. In turn, their health and performance suffer.

While we don’t have a culture that endorses a 996 schedule, there’s still a very good chance that revenge bedtime procrastination is happening in this country. With how hectic and stressful things can be, from one’s work, commute, and even personal life, some might want to spend a few hours of their time doing what they want to de-stress. Unfortunately, doing so comes at the cost of one’s sleep.

By choosing to delay sleep, people get feel like they’re regaining some control over their lives. So even if they look and function like a zombie the next day and they incur massive sleep debt over time, many still soldier on. It’s an unfortunate phenomenon, especially since it will have a major impact on one’s health.

Are you indulging in ‘self-revenge’?

Wondering if you’re engaged in such a behavior? If you find yourself delaying your sleep for one non-essential reason to another, there’s a very good chance that you are doing some self-revenge. This is particularly true if you don’t like what you do during the day and you feel like you should make up for the time you spent on other stuff by engaging in activities that you actually enjoy.

It can be argued that spending an hour or two engaging in a relaxing activity that you enjoy shouldn’t be considered as ‘self-revenge’ and that can be true. However, if you’re already very strapped for time and an hour or two will already cost you your precious 7-8 hrs of shuteye, then it can already count as self-revenge. Now, if you sleep at 2 a.m. even if you could’ve dozed off at 10 or 11 p.m. just so you can binge a whole series or get far in the novel you’re reading, then you definitely need to reassess your bedtime routine.

How to Deal with Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

If you already fell into the habit of delaying your zzz’s to do something you enjoy, then, you certainly have to do something about it. It might seem complicated but it’s truly very straightforward. You just need to go to sleep at the right time.

Executing this idea, however, can be a major challenge. With a routine like this, you can already find yourself averse to sleeping early so you need to change your behavior towards sleep. This will need some discipline and commitment to improving your slumber and overall health.

We won’t discuss the steps in improving your sleep anymore as we’ve already talked about that hundreds of times before. The general idea is to cultivate a good bedtime routine and sleep hygiene. Its strict implementation and you following through will help you improve your zzz’s unless you have a condition that will prevent you from getting more shuteye. In such cases, addressing that problem will a necessary first step.

You should also focus on the root cause of the problem if you tend to commit ‘self-revenge’. If you work long hours, maybe you should try to make some adjustments in that area. If your commute to work is too long, maybe moving to a new place that’s nearer to your workplace would be ideal. Improving your time management is also important in battling this problem. Your willingness and determination to make things better will help you get rid of your revenge bedtime procrastination.

How Do You Sleep? Understand Your Zzz’s to Improve It in 2021

Sleeping better is an excellent New Year’s resolution for 2021. High-quality zzz’s offers lots of benefits which will prove to come in handy, especially during the pandemic, so why not attempt to take advantage of it?

if you’re already considering changing your sleeping habits for the better, the first thing that you need to do is to assess your current sleep hygiene. Doing so will allow you to identify your problem areas, address the issues, and craft a good plan that will work best for you.

How do you better understand your zzz’s, though? Let this guide clue you in on the most important points that you should know about your sleep habits.

Count how many hours of sleep you normally get at night.

This is one of the first things that will teach you if you’re getting enough slumber or not. While there are some people who can survive on just a few hours of shuteye nightly, it’s still believed that a large chunk of the population still need at least 8 hours of sleep every night.

Take note of when you usually start feeling sleepy.

If you have a regular sleep schedule, you’ll start to feel sleepy around the time you usually hit the hay. This should help you learn if you’ve already created a routine. From there, you can tweak the little details so you can improve the quality of your zzz’s.

Figure out how you wake up.

If you wake up on your own around the same time every day, there’s a very good chance that you already have a regular sleep pattern. It’s not necessarily a sign of high- quality sleep but it’s a start. It means that you can stick to a schedule so now you only really need to work on improving it to get better slumber.

Pay attention to how quickly you doze off.

If you fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, there’s a very good chance that you’re sleep deprived. If it takes you more than 30 minutes to doze off, there’s a good chance that you’re not getting good sleep.

Take note of when you feel the most energetic.

There are different types of people based on chronotype or circadian typology. This determines the differences in level of activity and alertness of a person in the morning and evening. Some are just designed to work better at certain times of the day so it’s best to find out what your peak productivity time is so you can map your day accordingly, especially your sleep.

If, for example, you’re a morning person, sleeping early and waking up early would be ideal for you as you can be more productive. Night people should be able to go to bed and get up late as they operate best later in the day. Forcing yourself to go against your chronotype is unproductive and unhealthy.

Assess how you feel on a regular basis.

Are you always feeling tired and lethargic? If yes, it’s likely because you don’t get enough zzz’s. If you often fall asleep during the day, it’s a good confirmation that you’re not meeting your body’s need for shuteye.

Feeling stressed and emotionally exhausted are also great signs that you’re not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can significantly affect your mood, so if you’re quite irritable all the time when you generally have a happy disposition should clue you in on the fact that you need more zzz’s.

Take a hard look at your diet.

Do you often crave for sweets, caffeine, carbs, or just about anything that can help you stave off your sleepiness? We tend to turn to food when we need an energy boost because we’re feeling tired so this is also a good sign that you’re not getting enough sleep.

Learn from the experts

Another way to get to know your sleep better would be through quick quizzes like this. Created by experts, they can help you learn important details that can help you get better acquainted with your zzz’s.

How to Use the Information Above to Improve Your Zzz’s

Once you’ve assessed these key points about your sleep habits, you can already take steps in improving the quality of your shuteye. Use the information on your chronotype to best craft a sleep schedule that will suit your needs at take note of the cues your body sends you to help you find the right amount of shuteye your body needs.

Most importantly, making sleep a priority will also be an essential step if you truly want to sleep better in 2021. Improving your shuteye is not a walk in the park – it will require quite a lot of work from you so you have to be committed to it. The benefits you’ll enjoy will be well worth the effort, so we strongly recommend going through the process.

Quality Sleep can Help Boost Your Flu Shot’s Effects

Medical experts from various parts of the world are recommending people to get flu shots this year as a way to toughen up their immunity. The idea is that because COVID-19 and the flu have similar symptoms, being able to reduce your odds of contracting the flu might be quite helpful in detecting signs of coronavirus infection. So if you have access to it, you might want to consider getting the shot.

However, if you want to get more out of your flu shot, sleep specialist Matthew Walker says that having a good sleep hygiene will benefit you. He cited a study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association that suggests the quality of sleep on the night prior to a vaccination is critical to the efficacy of the vaccine.

Why? According to studies, not getting enough sleep will cause an up to 50% of antibodies production reduction. With lower antibodies in your system, the vaccine will be rendered less effective if at all.

It’s also a fact that sleep boosts immunity, so by sleeping better, you can further beef up your immune system. Since the flu vaccine typically has live virus to elicit a reaction from the body to prepare it against future infections, having a strong immune system will really help you out.

Experts recommend getting at least 7 hours or more in order to get your body’s daily dose of zzz’s.

The Best Times to Drink Water to Get Great Zzz’s

“Drink lots of water.” This is possibly the top health tip that can apply to a large number of health concerns in existence today. Feeling tired? Drink water as it can help give you some energy and feel more awake. Got dry skin or hair? Drink lots of water as hydrating your body will also help hydrate such body parts. In pain? Drink lots of water as hydration can help the body reduce pain. It’s truly astounding how drinking water can help your health in various ways.

With these said, it shouldn’t be surprising that drinking water can also help your zzz’s. In fact, we’ve already written about this topic before. You can read how your sleep can benefit by keeping yourself hydrated HERE.

However, while we push for water drinking, we also understand that it can be a bit difficult to do. There are certain times of the day that you don’t want to feel the urge to urinate as the logistics can be tricky. It would also be a problem to load up in the evenings as it can disrupt your slumber. But then again, not drinking water before bed can make you dehydrated throughout the night which can also wake you up because you’re feeling parched or your legs have cramped.

This is why we want to discuss more about timing your drinks accordingly. By doing this, you can stay hydrated all throughout the day without having to affect your other activities negatively.

For sleep, here are the best times to hydrate:

1. Upon waking up.

It’s highly recommended to drink a glass of cold or room temperature water upon waking up. Doing so will benefit you in these ways:

• Wake you up and give you some energy to start the day.
• Jumpstart your metabolism.
• Replenish the fluids you expelled as sweat while you were asleep.

2. With your meals.

It’s important to drink water with your meal as it aids digestion. It can also help you feel fuller, allowing you to eat less if you’re trying to lose some weight.

Drinking lots of water with meals is also helpful for your zzz’s as it will also help ensure that you’re hydrating yourself at a regular interval.

It’s best to stick with just water when you’re trying to hydrate yourself but any other beverage can contribute to your daily needs. However, some may contain sugars which can cause thirst so they’re not necessarily great options if you want to quench your thirst. Others have empty calories, too, so if you’re trying to be healthy, they’re not necessarily the best options.

Drinking coffee with breakfast not recommended by experts, however. Since coffee is a diuretic, it can hinder the replenishment of loss fluids in your body in the morning. This doesn’t mean that you can’t or should not drink coffee at all, though, it’s just best to put it off to about 2 to 3 hours after you wake up so you can focus on rehydrating your body first.

3. All throughout the day.

Especially in a hot country like ours, replenishing our body with liquids is essential if you want to stay in top shape and perform well. This is why it’s crucial to drink continuously all throughout the day.

Remember: Don’t let yourself feel thirsty as it’s a sign that you’re already somewhat dehydrated. Experts say that it’s ideal to drink 2-3 cups of water per hour to avoid dehydration. Drinking more than the said amount is essential if you’re sweating a lot.

If you’re going to commute, however, and you’re worried about the traffic, you might be better off in holding off hydrating until you get to your destination. This way, you don’t have to worry about having the need to go to the bathroom while you’re traveling.

4. Before going to bed.

Experts recommend drinking a glass of water before hitting the sack as it will help keep you hydrated as you sleep but not too much that you’ll have to wake up because you have to pee. If you’re still worried because you often have to get out of bed in the middle of the night to urinate, it could be because you drink too much water before your bedtime, you have a sleep condition, or an overactive bladder. In such cases, seeing your doctor is necessary.

Scheduling your liquid intake can have a huge impact on the quality of your sleep so it’s best to pay closer attention to it. The benefits you’ll get afterwards are definitely worth the effort.

Reliable Resources on Sleep If You Want to Know More about Your Zzz’s

Sleep is a very interesting field of study as there are still lots of mysteries that surround it. Not a lot about it is certain which is why there are always new studies popping up every now and then. If you’re as interested in the topic as we are, here are some of the best resources you should turn to if you want to stay updated with the latest sleep news:

Beauty Sleep can Really be Taken Literally

We know we’ve talked about beauty sleep before and how it helps improve your skin, recent studies further attest to the earlier findings. It’s been found that disruptions in one’s circadian rhythm can also affect the body’s ability to synthesize collagen, the substance that is responsible for your skin’s elasticity. This can result to faster skin aging as chronic sleep deprivation can increase your cortisol levels, make your skin more susceptible to environmental damage, as well as increase inflammation and acne. High cortisol levels also breaks down collagen, so on top of damaged, inflamed, and acne-ridden skin, sleep deprivation will also result to aging.

Another proof that ‘beauty sleep’ is real is the fact that skin aging is attributed to two things: genetics and epigenetics. Genetics make up for 25% of it, meaning you don’t get much of a say if your family’s skin ages rather quickly. However, 75% of it is contributed by environmental and lifestyle factors like sleep, so that’s where you should work hard. By getting enough zzz’s and taking steps to protect your skin, you can definitely slow down your skin’s aging process.

So if you need some additional motivation to get better zzz’s, maybe better skin would convince you. By getting ample sleep, you’ll also be able to fight signs of aging on your skin, so that’s a great trade off, if you ask us. Give it a go and you might just unlock the key to a successful skin care routine.

How to Keep Your Bed Virus-Free

Your bed may be the coziest space in your home but it’s not necessarily the cleanest. Dust and shed dead skin cells will certainly accumulate on its surface and sweat and other bodily fluids can get absorbed into its cover fabric and top layers of foam. Even if you try your best to keep it clean, there’s no guarantee that it will be spotless.

Then, of course, there are bacteria and viruses that can make your bed a hotspot in your home. This is true for the common cold and flu. And even if the coronavirus is primarily passed on from person to person, it might still linger on the surface of the mattress for a day or two. This can still spread the virus and create serious health problems for many.

If you want to make sure that you won’t bring viral diseases to your bed, here are a few things that you can do:

Never lay down in your bed while still wearing the clothes you wore outside.

It’s highly recommended to shower and change clothes as soon as you come back home after being outside. This means that you should also make sure not to get your outside clothes in contact with your bed so the virus won’t be transferred there.

If you had the coronavirus, disinfect your mattress and pillows once you’ve recovered.

If you survived an infection, even as an asymptomatic patient, it’s important to disinfect your mattress as well to increase your odds of getting rid of the virus altogether. While the coronavirus is believed to die on surfaces within a couple of days, it’s still best to err on the side of caution if you can. This is especially important as cases of reinfection are on the rise, so if you don’t want to fall ill again, it would be best to just try your best to get rid of the virus on every surface that you’ve made contact with.

Here are the steps to disinfect your mattress:

Steam vacuum the surface.

This will help deep clean the surface of your mattress and remove the contaminants from it. If you don’t have a steam vacuum, you can also just vacuum the surface thoroughly to get rid of the dust and debris on the surface.

Spray a disinfecting solution.

To make sure that you’ll kill the virus that may be on the surface of your bed, make sure to spray an effective disinfecting solution on it and let it sit for a while. This will ensure that the virus will be killed and destroyed. Dry the mattress before using it again.

There are several products that you can use for this purpose. You can check this EPA list for quick reference. Some are easier to find than others, so be quite thorough when going through the list. Avoid the ones that contain bleach and chlorine, however, as they can be quite damaging to the materials of your mattress.

Wash your bedclothes a few times and leave it in the sun to dry.

Treat your bedclothes like the way you treat your regular clothes and wash and disinfect it properly to kill the virus that might be lurking on its surface. For safe measure, use laundry detergents with bleach unless the material recommends against it. If you can wash them with hot water, that’s also a good idea. If you can’t, drying it under the sun may be a good alternative to using hot water. Do this 2 to 3 times before using the bedclothes again for safe measure.

Clean your pillows thoroughly, by washing, if possible, or by disinfecting.

The pillows you used when you were sick should always be washed or cleaned properly to avoid reinfection. This is true not just for the coronavirus but also for coughs, cold, and the flu. Since you are in close contact with your pillow for long periods, it’s essential that you keep it clean so you’ll stay healthy.

If you can’t wash your pillow, you can also do the vacuum and spray method used in your mattress. Leaving it under the sun to dry is also a good idea for extra safety measure.

However, if your pillow is already quite old, throwing it out might be more ideal.

Air out your bedroom.

Due to the small size of viruses, you should also make sure to push it out of your bedroom or enclosed space by airing it out. Open the windows and take steps to improve the circulation of air inside. This will help further remove any lingering virus inside.

Disinfect the surfaces of your bedroom.

To avoid bringing illnesses to your bed, the area surrounding it should be clean, too. Apply the safety measures you use in the shared areas in your home to your bedroom to further minimize the odds of bringing viruses to your bed.

Cleaning your bed after you get sick is an important step to avoid getting ill again or spreading the disease to the other people in your home. Taking steps to avoid bringing the coronavirus or any kind of virus to it is also ideal since we spend a lot of time in bed on a daily basis.
