Restless sleepers have it rough. They toss and turn in bed, which is difficult enough for the sleepers themselves. But it’s even worse for a partner who might be woken up by the motion transfer or noise. If you share a bed with a restless sleeper or are one yourself, these are the mattress materials you should look into for your mattress.
CertiPUR-US Polyurethane Foam
Foam mattresses are arguably the best thing to happen to a restless sleeper. They’re comfortable, mold to the body, and greatly reduce motion transfer. The original memory foam was developed by NASA to keep test pilots cushioned during flights, where lots of pressure would be pressed down on them. Since its creation, layers of foam cushioning have become extremely popular in mattresses.
CertiPUR-US Polyurethane Foam is durable but soft, offering optimal comfort in your mattress without sacrificing support. Just a layer or two of this material will allow you to sleep more peacefully in bed, and you won’t disturb your partner with tossing and turning or even getting out of bed.
The softness and support are especially good for someone who might be restless due to joint pain, like athletes or someone who works a physically demanding job. Polyurethane foam can take pressure off of your joints, which might help soothe your restlessness and allow you the relief needed to sleep peacefully.
Gel Infused Memory Foam
Sometimes a person is a restless sleeper because they overheat easily, causing them to try to find cool spots on the bed or get out of bed to dry off their sweat. Gel Infused Memory Foam can be a massive help in this department. On top of reducing motion transfer, it provides a cooling layer to the mattress, which is a massive relief for hot sleepers. It prevents overheating and sweating, which can be extremely uncomfortable for the sleepers and even require extra mattress cleaning. Restless sleepers can sleep much more soundly and not wake up sweating in the middle of the night.
Natural Talalay Latex
If you’re looking for a natural alternative to synthetic foam materials, Natural Talalay Latex is the way to go for restless sleepers. It’s a strong and durable fiber that’s allergen-free and is a popular choice for those leading greener or vegan lifestyles.
Like the Gel Infused Memory Foam, the Natural Talalay Latex keeps the body cooler, too, but has the added bonus of removing static electricity. This is a benefit as when you move around in bed, depending on the materials of your sheets and pajamas, the friction might cause you to unconsciously build up a charge which can be an unpleasant shock to you or your partner. By going with Talalay Latex, you’re diffusing the situation in the cold, dry months.
Restless sleepers don’t always need to banish themselves to the sofa or sit up at night, unable to sleep. Come to our showrooms and test out mattresses in our collections with these materials and see if you can’t finally find a mattress that lets you and your partner sleep soundly.
