How to Get a Good Night's Sleep
and wake feeling refreshed every day

Memory foam is a product derived from research at NASA where they sought the best materials for space travel where exit and entry speeds can cause crushing gravity effects without proper cushioning for the body. Memory foam is a material that cradles, caresses and conforms to your individual body; it is heat activated so just by lying down on a Memory foam surface it will slowly change its surface to fit your body. When you get up again the impression does not stay in the surface or you would need to stay in the same position always. It conforms to your every move so that it offers complete and comfortable support evenly for you, no matter what position you prefer for sleeping.

Memory foam pillows and mattress pads are naturally hypoallergenic and eliminate allergies caused by fungus, mold and mildew. These products are suitable for adults and children and most everyone benefits overall with a better night's sleep. Proper back support during sleep helps keep your spine aligned so you wake refreshed and ready to have a wonderful day.

What is Back Pain? What can be done? Acute or short-term low back pain generally lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Most acute back pain is the result of trauma to the lower back or a disorder such as arthritis. Pain from trauma may be caused by a sports injury, work around the house or in the garden, or a sudden jolt such as a car accident or other stress on spinal bones and tissues. Symptoms may range from muscle ache to shooting or stabbing pain, limited flexibility and range of motion, or an inability to stand straight. Chronic back pain is pain that persists for more than 3 months. It is often progressive and the cause can be difficult to determine. If you are suffering from chronic back pain there are a number of things you can do:
  • See your doctor and follow the recommendations of their diagnosis.
  • Over the counter medications may help when the cause cannot be determined, but they should not be used if you are taking prescription medications as part of your doctor's therapy.
  • Some people benefit from therapeutic massage, hot or cold compress treatments along with mild exercise to help retain mobility.
  • Avoid additional strains and stressful positions that can aggravate your condition.
  • While you shouldn't stay constantly in bed if you are capable of movement, additional bed rest is indicated if your back pain is sudden or acute.
  • To maintain a healthy back it is important that your mattress gives adequate support where it is needed, without being overly hard which can cause circulation problems at pressure points.
As we age, we still need the support of a good firm mattress, but a mattress that is too hard can lead to an uncomfortable night's sleep as we turn and move trying to avoid the constant pressure at one point or another. Probably the best surface for a good night sleep is a layer of memory foam over a firm mattress. The mattress gives overall support and the memory foam layer makes that firm support tolerable to our bodies.

More information regarding back pain can be found at National Institutes of Health where reasearch into back pain, its causes and remedies is an ongoing project.
