Can't sleep? The 4th of July is a great time to upgrade your snoozing situation. There are so many factors that go into getting a good night’s sleep: your mindset, your overall health, your sleep hygiene. While each one plays an important role in the soundness of your slumber, sometimes what's standing (or lying) between you and a good night's sleep is your mattress.
“A better mattress absolutely can help with sleep,” Christopher Winter, M.D., of Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine, and author of the book, The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How to Fix It, tells Yahoo Life.
There are a few specific signs that it’s time for a mattress upgrade, Winter says:
You’re moving around a lot at night. “A lot of times, pain or discomfort makes you move a lot to try to get comfortable,” Winter says. You might not even realize this is happening. Check out the status of your sheets in the morning—if they’re all bunched up or twisted, it’s a good sign you were tossing and turning. Or, if you sleep with a partner, Winter recommends asking if they’ve noticed you moving around at night.
You’re sore in the morning. The wrong mattress can put pressure on your hips, shoulders, and knees, causing stiffness and soreness in the morning, Winter says. “Soreness is a great way to find out if your mattress is supporting you the right way,” he says.
You’re overheating at night. If you’re getting hot and sweaty at night, your mattress could be to blame. “Some mattresses that offer more support can sometimes make you feel hot,” Winter says. “Sweating in bed is a big thing people often put up with, but they shouldn’t.”
If trying out different mattresses in a showroom doesn't float your boat, Winter says you can still find a good option online.
He recommends making a list of what you need — more joint support, a softer feel, a cooling environment — and looking for options based on that. If you have a partner, Winter recommends sitting down with them and making a list of the factors that are important to each of you in a mattress. “If they’re widely diverged, you probably want to look for a mattress that you can customize for each side,” he says.
Not sure what you need? Opt for a medium-firm option, says Harrison A. Linder, M.D., pain management specialist with The Center for Interventional Pain Medicine at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. ”They tend to be firm enough to offer support for back and front sleepers, but still offer some cushion for those that prefer to sleep on their sides,” he says.
Here are a few options to get you started. Bonus: There are many to be had at a discount this 4th of July weekend. Double Bonus: They all have great return policies for the just-in-case.
