Memory Foam

With the instances of car crashes growing more and more frequent, there is also an increase in minor to major injuries resulting from those collisions. If you’ve recently been involved in a car accident and you have recurring pain in any part of your body, it can seriously disrupt your life. Whether it’s a nagging limp in your leg or a persistent pain in your neck, the pinches, aches, and shots of pain can make sleeping difficult, and it can make concentrating and being comfortable at work similarly difficult.

If this is the case, don’t live with the pain. Of course, the first line of action is to seek the guidance of a licensed medical professional. I don’t know about you, but personally, I don’t like to inundate my body with synthetic medication. Instead I seek out natural remedies; when my back pain was making it difficult to sleep, I invest in a contour pillow to support my body.

Did you know you can be allergy-free?  Well, at least when you sleep, if you consider trying a hypoallergenic pillow.

Anyone suffering from different dust allergies should seriously consider a hypoallergenic pillow.  These pillows are designed to block out allergens such as dust mites, which we experience while sleeping.  It is also highly recommended that bedding be changed frequently as dust mites love living inside our bedding.  You must also consider looking at purchasing new pillows if your present pillows are older and soiled.  You may be providing the perfect home for dust mites if no changes take place!  Reducing these allergens you breathe in at night will reduce those typical allergy symptoms such as stuffy, runny nose, sore throat, asthma attacks, congestion or itchy eyes.

A good set of hypoallergenic pillows will ensure you don’t have anymore restless sleeps at night and since we sleep about 1/3 of our lives, we need to be properly rested to tackle the duties of the day every morning!

We are all created uniquely with different likes and dislikes.  This holds true for our preference of sleeping at night as well.  Some enjoy sleeping on their side while others prefer their backs and still we cannot forget those who choose their stomach.  How great to know there are pillows designed with each style of sleeper in mind.  This may mean taking extra time to choose the pillow that is right for you but in the end you will be so much happier for a good night’s rest.

Some simple facts to keep in mind while choosing that perfect pillow for you:

• Ensure the pillow creates a natural line for your head, neck and spine
• One properly fitting pillow, instead of two stacked pillows, will keep everything aligned
• Ensure the pillow suits to your sleeping style, whether that is side, back or stomach

When you know what to look for, choosing the right pillow is made easy and you won’t have to fear wandering the aisles for hours to make your decision!  They have even designed pillows to meet multiply needs.  If you perhaps are one of those people who changes their preference for sleeping on your side and back throughout the night,  consider the Down and Memory Foam Cradle Pillow which will be a perfect fit.

The simple formula you are searching for to improve your sleep may be just a pillow away!

Somewhere along the way, society has equated being a good employee with working long, hard hours.  We have placed ourselves into a vicious cycle of working late, grabbing fast-food meals, sleeping less than eight hours, not exercising and then starting the next day doing the same thing all over again!  This pattern is taking it’s toll on our health, our marriages and family life.

Our bodies were made to “talk” to us by the various ailments or aches and pains we may feel.  The question is when are we going to start listening to them?  What would your aching back be saying to you…let’s see.

If your back could talk would it ask you to move around and stretch every so often during the work day?  Would it ask you NOT to stay until dark three times a week at the office?  Would your back enjoy a walk or run for 30 minutes 5 times a week and perhaps some muscle strengthening exercises?  If you were to ask your back about sleep, it may say “I require at least 7-8 hours every night with supportive, comfortable pillows to keep everything aligned”.

Why don’t you and your back consider a memory foam spinal back pillow?  This pillow may start a relationship with your aching back that will last a lifetime!

Spring is commonly associated with budding flowers and beams of sunshine, but for a portion of the population, spring only means one thing: allergies. When you’re constantly sneezing indoors, waking up with itchy eyes, or finding yourself congested often, it’s time to make some changes. The sources of your woes are indoor allergens from pets, dust, and plants. In rare cases, allergens can come from other sources indoors, but these are by far the most common. To relieve your allergies begin by addressing the source of allergens, especially around the bed. Don’t allow pets in the area you sleep. You will also want to vacuum and dust around your bed and your whole house regularly. Switching to an allergy free pillow is also a sound idea. A home air purifier will ensure you have a much more restful sleep, and will remove allergens and pollutants from the rest of the house as well.

Taking these simple steps should dramatically reduce allergy symptoms, and allow for a more peaceful and relaxing home life.

Tired of flat pillows that have lost their fullness and are no longer giving you the support you need?  Have you tried using two or perhaps three pillows to provide you with the right fullness only to have them slip and slide on you during the night?

The Forever Full pillow, which blends together polyester fiber and polyurethane foam to create a pillow, will never flatten or “bottom out”.  You can really put your arms around it and squish it!  You get the softness but also the support with the foam.  Improving sleeping posture and weight distribution allows for a more restful night’s sleep as it cradles your neck and supports the weight of your head.  As you shift and move during the night, this pillow will keep your spine aligned while your neck and shoulder muscles stay relaxed. 

You’ll anxiously await the hour you can crawl into bed and with a lifetime warranty how can you go wrong?  Try one today!  Change the way you think about sleep.

Sleep apnea,  which affects 18 million Americans, is the condition whereby a person stops breathing for a few seconds during his sleep.  This results in an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, triggering a signal to the brain, forcing a person to wake up, enabling them to expand their lungs and begin breathing normally.

There is both a surgical and nonsurgical method to treat sleep apnea.  If a person’s situation is not critical, they can opt for nonsurgical options which would include lifestyle changes, medicine, dental appliances or the most common, a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mask and a BiPAP (Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure) mask.  Both these masks work to force the air through the nostrils so a person can breathe easily despite having a sleep disorder problem.  A CPAP mask can decrease the sleepiness a person feels who faces sleep apnea while a BiPAP mask is helpful for people needing higher pressure to breath normally (ie:  heart disorder or lung).

As you can imagine, using these masks during the night could cause frustrations if used with a standard shaped pillow.  We welcome you to look at the SleePAP pillow which has an exclusive design for comfort and compliance.  This pillow allows an oxygen mask to be held in place thus preventing leaks and facial pressure points.  It has been designed for multiple sleeping positions giving you comfort in any position - be it on your stomach, side or back.

Alert:  allergy season is here!  I realize this is not big news for those of you struggling already with symptoms of allergies, but I want to bring to your attention the importance of looking at your bedding.  One major cause of allergy afflictions is dust mites and one of their favourite places they like to make home is your bedding!  These little creatures contribute to difficulties in breathing, wheezing, sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, coughing, chest congestion and stuffy nose.

These tiny organisms enjoy a warm and moist fibrous environment such as carpets, bedding, cloth furniture, etc.  For people suffering from asthma, they can be particularly dangerous.  If you are one of those people tossing and turning at night, waking up with nose and chest congestion, you may be the victim of dust mites in your bedding.

One of the most important areas of our bedding is our pillow protectors as our faces rub against it all night long.  An allergy free pillow protector stops the growth of germs, mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria which all provide a breeding ground for dust mites.  A dust mite free environment creates a healthier environment by improving breathing and sleep.  Considering sleep is one of the most important functions contributing to our overall health, it’s important to find a good allergy bedding solution.
