Stress in today’s world accompanies us at every turn. Its chronic occurrence negatively affects not only the body, but especially the psyche. One of the best natural ways to cope with it is to take care of your sleep. During the night, the nervous system regenerates and the mind processes emotions and information from the whole day. If you want your rest to be comfortable and effective, it is essential to equip your bedroom with a comfortable mattress.
Sleep and stress – how does regeneration affect mental health?
Sleep plays a key role in maintaining mental balance, and its quality has a direct impact on how we cope with stress. It is during nightly rest that the brain organises emotions and processes information from the day. Sleep also influences the regulation of hormones responsible for mood, such as cortisol, dopamine and serotonin. If the time spent in bed is too short and sleep is shallow or interrupted, the nervous system does not have the chance to fully regenerate, which in the long term leads to increased susceptibility to stress, irritability and even mood disorders.
How does the right mattress affect stress reduction?
Although, at first glance, a mattress does not seem to have a direct link to the ability to cope with stress, the opposite is in fact true. It is an element of bedroom furnishings that has a huge impact on the quality of sleep and, therefore, on the body’s ability to cope with daily challenges. The right sleeping surface ensures proper spinal alignment and allows the muscles to relax, which reduces the physical tension that accompanies stress. When the body is relaxed, the brain receives a signal to ‘let go’ and enter a state of recovery.
Which mattress should you choose?
What should I consider when choosing a mattress so that it provides the best possible conditions for rest?
-
The degree of firmness – it should be matched to the user’s body weight and preferred sleeping position. Those who wish to increase the level of firmness may consider buying a model fitted with a coconut mat, such as the Hilding Fandango.
-
Type of filling – this is one of the most important issues to consider. Thermoelastic foam provides the effect of wrapping and adjusting to the silhouette, pocket springs guarantee point flexibility and stability, and latex, used, among others, in the Hilding Flamenco mattress, is resistant to deformation and makes it easier to keep the bed clean.
-
Ventilation – a good quality mattress should provide free airflow to prevent overheating and the accumulation of excess moisture.
To protect yourself from the negative effects of chronic stress, you need to take care of your sleep. A key role in its quality is played by a properly selected mattress, which should provide comfort, support and cushioning.
