The best way to be guided on the right mattress to have lied heavily on the type of mattress we lie on. However, not all people are well-educated on what a mattress should be, particularly the materials used and the impact that they have on one’s sleep.

The quality of one’s mattress has been referenced as a primary factor affecting the quality of one’s sleep, which impacts overall health and well-being. Poor sleep health has been tied to specific medical conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, depression, irregular hormone production, a weakened immune system, memory lapses, constant irritability and decreased concentration and reaction times.

Hence, Sit ‘n Sleep focuses on two areas:

1. The importance of Mattress Replacement (“Replace Every 8″) due to the dust mite buildup, allergens and mattress breakdown that adversely affect one’s health
2. Sit ‘n Sleep’s unique ability to scientifically evaluate one’s body type and sleep needs to deliver the right mattress for each individual customer.

Sit ‘n Sleep will also be initiating a “mattress buyback” offer, encouraging customers to trade in their old mattresses for credit towards their purchase of a new mattress.

We all read about it so apparently, the words of specialists may be able to convince us that sleep loss actually contributes to obesity and weight gains that has been a glaring problem these days. Medical studies performed in the past few years are revealing that sleep loss can contribute to weight gain.

“It interferes with our circadian rhythms and with the way we regulate our hormones,” William Kohler, medical director of the Florida Sleep Institute, says.

There are two hormones that affect the appetite: Leptin and Ghrelin. Leptin communicates that “full feeling,” and when working correctly, suppresses the appetite. Ghrelin communicates the need for more food to keep energy levels up.

When people do not get enough sleep, both hormones are thrown out of whack. Their Leptin goes down, making them feel less satisfied – even when they have had enough food; and their Ghrelin goes up, stimulating the appetite.

“Often, I hear people say they didn’t sleep well, and they were eating just to stay awake. It may be these hormones playing a role,” James P. Krainson, medical director of the South Florida Sleep Diagnostic Center, says.

Something as simple as a mattress replacement may be the answer.

A poor-quality mattress – unsuited to the person’s body type – is guaranteed to reduce the amount and quality of sleep. This, in turn, could increase the amount of pounds on the body.

Sit ‘n Sleep, the largest mattress retailer in Southern California, is the only retailer in the region to offer a unique, sleep diagnostic center to its customers. At the center, a diagnostic machine makes more than 17,000 calculations to match sleepers with an optimal mattress type.
