Good sleep can improve the quality of your life because it has a ripple effect on almost every area of your life. This ripple effect is what we call the Sealy Effect, and it explains how sleep can impact your health, productivity and relationships.
We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, and having the right mattress is crucial to getting a good night’s sleep, and ultimately being the healthier, more productive person, you want to be. Sealy mattresses are built with an interconnected spring system topped with foam and comfort layers that support the ideal sleeping posture – meaning the body is in its natural position to fully relieve muscular tension. Sealy Posturepedic supports your life by providing undisturbed sleep, which translates into the Sealy Effect.
The Sealy Effect: Improved brain function
Sleep is important for your brain because it rests while you sleep and prepares for the next day. As you sleep, your brain forms new neuropathways, which helps with learning, remembering and problem-solving. With the Sealy Effect, you can easily focus on tasks and find solutions. This is why the Better Sleep Council says sleep is key to your professional success. Get your 40 winks and your co-workers will love you!
The Sealy Effect: Better relationships
When you get enough good quality sleep, your brain has time to organise and process your emotions. The Sealy Effect means better problem-solving skills, less irritability and better stress management.
The Sealy Effect: Athletic achievement
Sleep has been shown to enhance athletic performance because it improves speed, accuracy and reaction time. Give your body the Sealy Effect if you’re looking for some physical gains.
The Sealy Effect: Stronger heart
When you sleep, your body goes through a healing process, which includes the repair of your heart and blood vessels. When you don’t get enough sleep, you are at a higher risk for heart disease, diabetes, kidney malfunction, and stroke.
The Sealy Effect: Maintain a healthy weight
Sleep also keeps your hormones balanced. When you’re sleep deprvied, your hunger hormones are out of balance and you eat more because you feel hungry. With the Sealy Effect, you have enough energy and motivation to do that exercise class and make healthier food choices.
The Sealy Effect: Emotional wellbeing
The relationship between sleep and depression is deeper than you think, says the Better Sleep Council. Sleep plays an important role in looking after your mental health, because it aids in the production of serotonin. If you are getting enough sleep, between seven and nine hours each night, your body will be better equipped to help you recalibrate after a bad day, improve your outlook on life and be better prepared to meet challenges. This is the Sealy Effect in your life.
The Sealy Effect: Stronger immune system
According to the Better Sleep Council, healthy sleep is essential to produce specialised immune substances called cytokines. These cytokines are highly essential to activate inflammatory reaction whenever any foreign particles or microbes enter our body. With the Sealy Effect, your immune system will be stronger.
One of the most important factors for sleep quality: Your mattress
Now that you know how the Sealy Effect could change your life, how do you know if you need a new mattress? Typically, mattresses last between five and 10 years.
You may need a new mattress if:
- You’re tired all the time
- You toss and turn all night
- Your current mattress is sagging
- You can’t get comfortable on your mattress
- It’s just as easy to fall asleep on the sofa or floor as it is the bed
Here are some tips for choosing the right mattress:
- Your body should be distributed evenly across the sleeping surface
- While laying down, your body should be well supported across the shoulders, hips, back, and ribs
- Your spine should be aligned in a neutral position with the rest of your body
- Type of mattress (memory foam, gel, spring coil, pillow-top, etc.)
Sealy has a wide range of mattresses to suit your sleep position, personal preference and budget. Whether you are looking for pressure relief for your shoulders or hips, support for your lower back or are simply wanting to wake up feeling better, you will find your answer in a Sealy Posturepedic bed.
