Serta Perfect Sleeper: Stunning Comfort for Effortless Sleep

by
Serta perfect sleeper review scaled

The Serta Perfect Sleeper series is a collection of mattresses that are designed to provide pressure relief, support, and comfort for all types of sleepers. The mattresses in the Perfect Sleeper series feature a variety of different materials and construction techniques, but they all share a common goal: to help you get the best night’s sleep possible.

Some of the key features of the Serta Perfect Sleeper series include:

  • Zoned comfort: The mattresses in the Perfect Sleeper series feature zoned comfort, which means that they are designed to provide different levels of support for different parts of your body. For example, the lumbar region of your spine may need more support than your shoulders. Zoned comfort helps to ensure that your entire body is properly supported throughout the night.
  • Pressure relief: The Perfect Sleeper mattresses are also designed to provide pressure relief, which is especially important for side sleepers and sleepers with chronic pain. Pressure relief helps to reduce the amount of pressure that is placed on your body, which can lead to a more comfortable and restful sleep.
  • Cooling technology: Many of the Perfect Sleeper mattresses also feature cooling technology, which helps to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. Cooling technology is especially beneficial for sleepers who tend to get hot at night.

The Serta Perfect Sleeper series is a popular choice for sleepers of all types, and it offers a variety of different mattresses to choose from, so you can find the perfect one for your needs.

Here is a brief overview of some of the most popular mattresses in the Serta Perfect Sleeper series:

  • Serta Perfect Sleeper Hybrid: The Serta Perfect Sleeper Hybrid is a hybrid mattress that combines the best of both worlds: the support of a coil system with the comfort of memory foam. The Hybrid is a good choice for sleepers of all types, but it is especially popular with side sleepers and sleepers with chronic pain.
  • Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring: The Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring is a traditional innerspring mattress that offers excellent support and durability. The Innerspring is a good choice for budget-minded shoppers and sleepers who prefer a firmer feel.
  • Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress-in-a-Box: The Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress-in-a-Box is a convenient and affordable option for shoppers who want a high-quality mattress without the hassle of traditional mattress shopping. The Mattress-in-a-Box comes in a variety of different firmness options to choose from.

No matter what your needs are, there is a Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress that is right for you. With a variety of different models to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect mattress to help you get the best night’s sleep possible.

I sleep on a new mattress almost every other week and most of them are direct to consumer, online-only brands. Every now and then, I do get sent a review sample of a legacy brand such as Tempurpedic, Simmons or in this case the Serta Perfect Sleeper. Serta was founded in 1931 and is the largest mattress brand in the United States but the Perfect Sleeper brand was released 2 years before the Serta brand name was introduced. Many hotel chains use their mattresses including Hilton Worldwide and Wyndham Worldwide. They merged with the online brand, Tuft & Needle in 2018. There’s a lot to like about this mattress because they have almost a century of experience making mattresses and offer the same hassle-free returns as the online players.

Overview of the Renewed Night Mattress

Ordering the Serta Perfect Sleeper Renewed Night Mattress

You can order the Perfect Sleeper series mattresses directly through the Serta website or try it out at a local store by accessing their store locator. Ordering through the Serta site gets you free shipping, a 120 home trial, and free returns if you decide it’s not a good fit. Either way, you order the mattress does not come in a box. It will arrive full size and a delivery company will bring it into your house. The delivery company XPO logistics coordinated everything and it was very easy to schedule my delivery date and time window online. They also called when they were about 30 minutes away. It’s a good option if you don’t want to have to drag a mattress from your doorstep to your bedroom.

How Much Does the Serta Renewed Night Cost?

The cost depends on which model you choose. I received the 1 layer of memory foam version which retails for $899 in a queen size, this is their entry level model. If you want extra layers of foam, the cost increases. You can refer to their website for the most current pricing. Also, keep in mind that their price should be the same as that found in the stores.

Construction of the Renewed Night Mattress

renewed night construction

Below are the construction specifications of the Renewed Night mattress 1 layer of foam model as listed on the Serta website. For this review, I received the Plush version.

CoolFeel™ Cover

A luxurious, breathable cover with a cool-to-the-touch sensation from technology that is plant-derived.

HeiQ Vblock™

An exclusive, anti-microbial technology found on the surface of the mattress kills 99.9% of bacteria on contact, keeping your mattress fresh and clean.

HexCloud™ Gel Memory Foam

Serta’s exclusive gel memory foam boasts unique geometric cut outs to deliver cool, contouring pressure relief for oh-so-relaxing sleep.

1000 Edition Custom Support™ Coil System

Individually wrapped coils deliver support and reduced motion transfer. This edition features Serta’s BestEdge® Foam Encasement technology—an extra-deep foam rail to help reduce edge roll-off and extend the sleep surface.

My Serta Renewed Night Findings

I figured that this mattress may skew firm and I was right which is why I chose the plush model. The cover is quilted so you get an extra layer of pressure relief but even so, if you go firm, I imagine it will be really firm. The plush version felt more like a medium to me. Here’s a photo of how much my 14 lb. bowling ball sunk into the mattress. When you lay down on the mattress you will sink into the quilted cover right away and it will cradle you while the foam layer provides most of the pressure relief and the springs provide the support.

renewed night sinkage

Here you can see how much my shoulders sink into the mattress while sleeping on my side.

I slept on this mattress for about 3 weeks before writing this review and there are a few things that really stood out with this mattress. Let’s start with the CoolFeel Cover. It incorporates phase change materials that are 53% bio-based content. In my experience, most phase change covers have a sort of stick feel to them and almost feel wet. That wasn’t the case with this mattress. I didn’t know it had phase change material until I looked up the details. The HeiQ Vblock is an antimicrobial technology applied to the cover to keep it fresh and to kill 99.9% of bacteria on contact. Although I still recommend a mattress protector, it’s nice to know there is an extra layer of protection.

Although this mattress has springs, they are barely noticeable. I didn’t feel my partner getting out of bed at night or tossing and turning. I’m not sure why that it but it can be largely explained by their use of pocked coils. check out the picture below where you can see the springs. I had to cut into the foam border to access them. The foam border is used to create a firmer edge so you won’t roll off the mattress at night.

The third feature that stood out was the unique design of the foam layer. They call this the HexCloud Gel memory foam.  It is designed for cooling and better pressure relief. I didn’t sink in like traditional foam and overall the mattress slept like a regular old-fashioned inner springs mattress without any foam. According to Serta, this new model of the Perfect Sleeper provides 40% better pressure relief than previous Perfect Sleeper models.

My Serta Perfect Sleeper Renewed Night Final Thoughts

Going with a legacy brand like Serta has many benefits. First, their free delivery into your house, 120-night trial, and free returns are the same or better than the popular online brands. They also have almost a century of mattress construction know-how. It was clear to me right away that they can add a lot of value to the mattress without adding cost. Since they are a manufacturer they can pass the savings directly to you, especially since they make so many mattresses to begin with. Normally phase change material, antimicrobial technology and a premium spring system would be an extra cost but you can get all this for under $900 in a queen size which makes it a phenomenal value.

I recommend the plush version of this mattress to people looking for a more medium feel. It has excellent lumbar support and really good pressure relief consider that they are only using one layer of foam. Because there aren’t multiple layers of foam on this model, it will naturally sleep cooler too.  It’s definitely time to take a look at the Perfect Sleeper lineup again.

Chilipad: The Ultimate Must-Have for Effortless Sleep

The ChiliPad was a water-based mattress pad that could be used to heat or cool your bed. It was invented in 2007 by Todd and Tara Youngblood, a husband and wife duo with totally different sleep preferences. He liked to sleep cool, she liked to sleep hot, so they came up with a solution that would keep them both comfortable.

In 2019, the ChiliPad was rebranded as the Ooler Sleep System. The Ooler is essentially the same product as the ChiliPad, but with a few key updates, such as a more sleek design, a quieter operation, and a more user-friendly app.

The Ooler is a great option for people who have trouble sleeping due to temperature. It can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed. It can also be used to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and other temperature-related symptoms.

The Ooler is available in two models: the Ooler Standard and the Ooler Pro. The Ooler Standard is a good option for most people, while the Ooler Pro is better suited for people with more specific needs, such as couples who sleep at different temperatures or people who need a lot of cooling.

If you are looking for a way to improve your sleep, the Ooler is a great option to consider. It is a well-designed and effective product that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed.

The Ooler is a mattress pad that will heat and cool your bed through the use of water. The pad has tubes running throughout that circulate warm or cool water depending on your temperature preferences. The Chilipad is an ideal solution for hot sleepers because there aren’t that many effective ways to keep you cool at night, especially on the surface of the mattress where your body will trap heat.

Overview of the Ooler

The Chilipad comes in a box like the one below. Everything is packaged nicely and clearly labeled for easy setup.

Chilipad Box

Upon opening the box you will find the mattress pad. This has good padding which helps mask the feeling of the tubes inside. If you really press, you will feel the tubes but when it is on your mattress and you are laying down you won’t feel them. Just know that the mattress will feel a little firmer since you are adding another layer to your mattress.

Chilipad Unboxing

Underneath the matttress pad are the climate control boxes or Cubes as Chilipad calls them. These are the devices that circulate and condition the water for the pad. They aren’t that big and weigh about 5 lbs. each.

Chilipad Unboxing 2

Below is a video overview of the Chilipad. I have it on my king size bed at home which currently is a hybrid mattress, spring and memory foam. The Chilipad will work on any type of mattress. I think people on dense memory foam mattresses will find this most beneficial as dense foam mattresses trap a lot of heat.

How Much Does the Ooler Cost?

Here are the current prices on the Ooler as listed on their website.

Single $449
Twin $499
Twin XL $$599
Full $649
Queen $999
King $1,099
Cal King $1,099

Ooler

Setting up the Ooler  is super easy. After getting everything out of the box it looks a little intimidating but Ooler  made the process foolproof by clearly labeling everything and creating parts that snap together so you don’t have to worry about water leaking out of the cube or pad during the night.

After unboxing everything, the first thing you want to do is put the Chilipad on the bed. Make sure that the hoses are towards the top of the bed as they will need to connect to the Cube which you will probably want up by your nightstand. You can put it at the foot of the bed as well, it really doesn’t matter.

As you can see below the pad comes with straps to hold it in place and keep it from shifting on the mattress overnight. I recommend putting this over your mattress protector for maximum benefit.

Chilipad Bands

After you get the pad on, you will want to then connect the hose to the cube. Here’s a closeup of the tube. This snaps into the cube and you can hear a click to know that it is secure. These tubes also will not leak when you disconnect.

chilipad hose

Here’s the back of the cube where you plug in the other end of the hose.

back of chilipad

Below is a picture of the cube. You will need to first plug in and turn on the cube before adding water.

Chilipad Cube

I set my cube to cool to start but it doesn’t matter if it is hot or cold. I bought some distilled water as recommended in the instructions. Distilled water will keep the cube cleaner longer and distilled water is cheap so I just went that route.

adding water to the chilipad

My Ooler Findings

I putt the chilipad to the test by making one side as cool as possible as seen on the left-hand side of this picture and the other side as hot as possible as seen on the right. I rand the chilipad for an hour on these settings before taking a temperature reading with my thermal camera. As you can see the cool side clocked in at 23.6 degrees Celsius.

Chilipad Cold setting

The left hand size just a few inches over clocked in at 30.6 degrees celsius.

Chilipad Hot Setting

Chilipade recommends that you use a blanket or comforter to help insulate the bed and get the best results. For my next test I let the system run with a comforter over it for an hour. In the video below you will see that it is an even starker contrast.

The chilipad remote is easy to use and it worked right out of the box for me. You will need to supply your own batteries though. The remote is fairly simple, it has an on/off button and then a hot and cool button. The temperature reading is backlit so you can adjust the temp in dark without having to turn on the lights.

How does the Ooler  Feel?

The Chilipad was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. That said, it did make my mattress feel a little firmer. The Chilipad will make noise at night as water runs through the system. This is similar to the amount of noise made by a white noise machine and something you will get used to after a few nights. I sleep with a white noise machine already so just turned it off and relied on the hum of the Chilipad. For people who aren’t used to white noise at night, this may take more of an adjustment. In terms of volume, I found it similar to the whir of a computer fan running.

This device heat up a mattress easily but the real benefit of the Chilipad is its ability to cool a mattress. There are very few options out there for hot sleepers looking for lasting relief from a hot mattress. Sleeping hot has become a growing concern with the rise in popularity of memory foam mattresses. With the Chilipad you get technology that will keep your mattress cool all night long. This means you should get deeper, more restorative sleep as you won’t feel the need to toss and turn all night.

I highly recommend the Ooler for hot sleepers of all types. It beats a fan and you can still get cozy in your blanket without waking up a sweaty mess.

Massage Chair Benefits: 10 Stunning Reasons You Need One

by
Massage Chair Benefits

A recent study published by Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice  looked at the effects of mechanical massage provided by massage chairs and binaural beats (brain massage) on mental fatigue and cognitive function in healthy adults. The study found that brain massage (a combination of mechanical massage and binaural beats) was effective in reducing mental fatigue and improving cognitive function, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG) and five cognitive tests. The specific cognitive functions that were found to be improved were sustained attention, verbal short-term and long-term memory, and non-verbal long-term memory. This suggests that massage chairs that provide both mechanical massage and binaural beats may be a helpful tool for reducing mental fatigue and improving cognitive function. However, it is important to note that this is a single study and further research is needed to confirm these findings and to better understand the mechanisms behind the effects of brain massage on mental fatigue and cognitive function.

Massage chairs can provide stress relief in several ways. First, the mechanical massage provided by the chair can help to relax tense muscles, which can help to alleviate physical tension and discomfort in the body. This can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of relaxation. In addition, the act of sitting in a massage chair and taking time to relax can be a form of self-care that helps to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. The warmth and vibration of the chair can also contribute to a feeling of relaxation. Finally, some massage chairs may have features such as calming music or ambient lighting, which can further enhance the sense of relaxation and stress relief.

 

But long before this study was published, there were many well-known benefits of massage chairs. Here are the top 10 that may surprise you. 

 

  1. Relaxation and stress relief 

 

Massage chairs can provide stress relief in several ways. First, the mechanical massage provided by the chair can help to relax tense muscles, which can help to alleviate physical tension and discomfort in the body. This can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of relaxation. In addition, the act of sitting in a massage chair and taking time to relax can be a form of self-care that helps to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. The warmth and vibration of the chair can also contribute to a feeling of relaxation. Finally, some massage chairs may have features such as calming music or ambient lighting, which can further enhance the sense of relaxation and stress relief.

 

 

  1. Improved circulation

 

Massage chairs can improve circulation in a few different ways. The mechanical massage provided by the chair can help to stimulate blood flow by applying pressure to the muscles and tissues of the body. This can help to increase circulation and promote healing in the body. In addition, the warmth and vibration of the chair can also help to increase circulation by dilating the blood vessels and promoting blood flow. Finally, the act of sitting in a massage chair and relaxing can also help to improve circulation by reducing stress and tension in the body, which can help to improve overall blood flow.

 

 

  1. Pain relief

 

Massage stimulates the production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals produced by the body. In addition, the warmth and vibration of the chair may also help to relieve pain by increasing circulation and promoting healing in the body. 

 

  1. Improved flexibility and range of motion:

The mechanical massage provided by the chair can help to loosen and relax muscles, which can make them more pliable and easier to stretch. The heat therapy function of some massage chairs can also help to relax muscles and improve circulation, which can further aid in flexibility. Additionally, the use of massage chairs can help to reduce muscle tension and stiffness, which can make it easier to move and stretch. Overall, regular use of a massage chair can help to improve flexibility and range of motion in the muscles and joints.

 

  1. Improved sleep: 

 

There are a few reasons why massage chairs can make you feel tired or sleepy. One reason is that massage can help relax the muscles and reduce tension in the body, which can make you feel more relaxed and calm overall. Massage can also lower heart rate and blood pressure, which can contribute to a feeling of relaxation and sleepiness. In addition, massage can stimulate the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood and promoting relaxation, which may also contribute to feelings of fatigue or sleepiness following a massage. Finally, the simple act of lying down and resting during a massage may also contribute to feelings of fatigue and sleepiness.

 

 

  1. Enhanced immune system function:

 

Massage therapy including massage chair use may have some benefits for the immune system. Some research suggests that massage may improve immune function by reducing stress and increasing blood flow, which can help the body to fight off infections. However, it’s important to note that massage is not a substitute for proper medical care and should not be used as a primary treatment for serious medical conditions. If you have concerns about your immune system, it’s important to talk to a healthcare professional.

 

 

  1. Enhanced digestion:

 

Yes, massage can potentially help with digestion. Massage can help to relax the muscles of the digestive system, which may help to improve the flow of food through the intestines and ease bloating and discomfort. It can also help to reduce stress, which is a common trigger for digestive issues. In addition, massage can stimulate the production of endorphins, which are chemicals in the body that can help to reduce pain and improve mood. However, it is important to note that massage is not a replacement for medical treatment and if you are experiencing persistent digestive issues, you should consult with a healthcare professional.

 

 

  1. Increased energy levels: 

 

Massage can definitely help to increase energy levels. Massage can help to relax the muscles, improve circulation, and reduce stress, all of which can contribute to an increase in energy. In addition, massage can also help to improve sleep, which can also help to increase energy levels. Some people find that they feel more energized after a massage because they feel more relaxed and rejuvenated. It is important to note that the effect of massage on energy levels may vary from person to person, and the type of massage may also play a role. For example, a more invigorating massage such as a sports massage may have a different effect on energy levels than a more relaxing massage such as a Swedish massage.

 

  1. Improved skin health: 

 

There are several types of massage that can be beneficial for the skin and while a massage chair can’t provide all of them, they can help to a great extent.  Here are a few options beyond use of a massage chair:

  1. Facial massage: A facial massage can help to improve circulation and promote the production of collagen, which can improve the appearance of the skin.

  2. Swedish massage: A Swedish massage can be beneficial for the skin because it involves long, smooth strokes that can help to increase circulation and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

  3. Aromatherapy massage: Aromatherapy massage involves the use of essential oils, which can be beneficial for the skin. Some essential oils, such as lavender and chamomile, have calming and soothing properties that can be helpful for people with sensitive skin.

  4. Hot stone massage: Hot stone massage involves the use of heated stones to massage the body. The heat from the stones can help to increase circulation and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial for the skin.

It is important to note that the best massage for the skin will depend on an individual’s skin type and any specific skin concerns they may have. It is always a good idea to consult with a licensed massage therapist or skin care professional to determine the best type of massage for your skin.

10. Eliminate Toxins

Massage Chairs can help eliminate toxins from the body through a process called lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that help to filter waste products and toxins from the body’s tissues. During a massage, the therapist can use techniques that help to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which can help to flush out toxins and other waste products from the body.

In addition, massage can also help to improve circulation, which can help to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells and tissues and remove waste products more efficiently. Massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural chemicals that can help to improve mood and reduce stress, and this can also help to support the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Zinus Cooling Gel Memory Foam: Must-Have for Effortless Sleep

by
Zinus Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress

 

The Zinus Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress is the latest addition to the Zinus lineup. I previously wrote about the Zinus Green Tea as being one of the best price mattresses out there. The Cool Gel mattress is right up there as well.  For this review, I was given a 12-inch version of this mattress which is the medium-firm feel.

Overview of the Zinus Cooling Gel Mattress

I strongly recommend buying the Zinus mattresses direct from the Zinus website. This is because if you order direct, you can take advantage of their 100-night risk-free trial. Here are the free trial details as listed on their website:

We want you to LOVE every Zinus purchase. So if you only like it, you can return it within 100 days for a full refund.

My Zinus Mattress Findings

I slept on the 12″ version of this mattress for about 3 weeks.  I think that the firmness levels skew towards the firmer end of the spectrum in comparison to other online mattresses I have tried. That said, if I had to choose again, I would have gone with the 14″ version as I prefer a plusher mattress but having slept on the 12″ gives me a better idea of the range of firmness that Zinus provides.

Here’s a video that shows how each layer of the mattress reacts:

 

You won’t really get any motion transfer with this mattress either. It’s all foam so there’s no issue with that. In terms of sleeping cool, I found it to be more in the middle of the pack. There are other mattresses out there that seem to use more phase change material in the top layer of foam and in the fabric itself. However, keep in mind that this is only a temporary effect. Eventually, the mattress will start to retain some heat.

My Zinus Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress Recommendation

Zinus is the go-to brand for affordable mattresses. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better mattress at these price points. Zinus mattresses are made in China which is one reason why they are so competitive on price. The material in these mattresses are Certipur-US certified which means they have been tested to be free of harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and heavy metals.

In short, if you are on a budget and are looking to get a mattress under $500 there are now quite a few choices on Amazon and other big online retailers. However, Zinus is an established brand that is big enough to ensure proper quality control and customer service. I strongly recommend purchasing directly through their site to take advantage of their free trial. You will also be getting the freshest stock of mattresses.

The Zinus mattress scandal is a class-action lawsuit that was filed against Zinus, a South Korean mattress manufacturer, in 2020. The lawsuit alleges that Zinus mattresses contain fiberglass fibers that can be released into the surrounding environment, causing health problems and property damage.

The lawsuit was initiated by a group of consumers who purchased Zinus mattresses from various retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. The plaintiffs claim to have suffered a variety of health problems, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, and eye irritation, as a result of exposure to fiberglass fibers from their mattresses. They also allege that their homes have been contaminated with fiberglass fibers, which has required expensive remediation services.

Zinus has denied the allegations in the lawsuit, and the case is still ongoing. However, in 2021, the company issued a recall for certain models of its mattresses due to a risk of collapsing. The recall also involved mattresses that contained fiberglass fibers.

The Zinus mattress scandal has raised concerns about the safety of fiberglass in mattresses. Fiberglass is a commonly used material in mattresses because it is flame-retardant and inexpensive. However, there is growing evidence that fiberglass fibers can be harmful to human health.

If you are concerned about the safety of your Zinus mattress, you can contact the company to inquire about the recall. You can also take steps to reduce your exposure to fiberglass fibers, such as using a mattress cover and cleaning your mattress regularly.

Here are some tips for reducing your exposure to fiberglass fibers from your mattress:

  • Use a mattress cover that is specifically designed to block fiberglass fibers.
  • Clean your mattress regularly with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter.
  • If you remove the mattress cover, be sure to wear gloves and a mask to protect yourself from exposure to fiberglass fibers.
  • If you believe that your home has been contaminated with fiberglass fibers, you should contact a professional remediation company.

It is important to note that the Zinus mattress scandal is still ongoing, and the long-term health effects of exposure to fiberglass fibers from mattresses are not fully understood. If you have any concerns, please contact a healthcare professional.

Haven Mattress: Exclusive Review of This Risky Discontinuation

Haven is Out of Business

 

There are a few possible reasons why the Haven mattress was discontinued.

One possibility is that it was not selling well enough. The Haven mattress was a relatively new product, and it may not have had enough time to gain market share. Additionally, the mattress market is very competitive, and there are many other well-established brands that consumers can choose from.

Another possibility is that the Haven mattress was discontinued due to production costs. The Haven mattress was made with high-quality materials, which made it more expensive to produce than some other mattresses. If the company was struggling to make a profit on the mattress, they may have decided to discontinue it.

Finally, it is also possible that the Haven mattress was discontinued because the company was changing its focus. The company that made the Haven mattress, Haven Sleep, was acquired by another company, Sleep Country Canada, in 2022. It is possible that Sleep Country Canada decided to focus on its own brands of mattresses and discontinue the Haven mattress.

Unfortunately, the company has not publicly released any information about why the Haven mattress was discontinued. Therefore, it is difficult to say for sure what the reason was. However, the possibilities listed above are the most likely reasons.

The Haven Premier mattress is an all-foam mattress that promises a 5-star sleep with its proprietary 5-layer construction. While this mattress may not be for everyone, it will appeal to sleepers looking for superior pressure relief, minimal motion transfer, and the latest cooling technology all for an incredible price.

Overview of the Haven Premier Mattress

You can order the Haven exclusively through their website. My mattress a week after placing the order and arrived compressed in a box as seen in the video below. You will probably need 2 people to get this upstairs if you buy a queen-size or larger. When you open the mattress it will come to life relatively quickly. If you open it before 12pm you should be able to sleep on it that evening although there may be some lingering off-gassing but that should go away after a day or two.

How Much Does the Haven Premier Cost?

Below are the current retail prices of the Haven Premier before any current discounts.

Construction of the Haven Premier

This mattress has 5 layers detailed below.

Quilted Cover – A high quality 450GSM washable quilted cover, this fabric is designed to work with the body’s natural thermal capabilities. It helps you to feel warm when you are cold and cool when you feel hot.

Fireproof Cloth – All Natural Organic Cotton is wrapped all the way around the Haven Premier. This fabric is eco-friendly, healthy and allows for exceptional airflow.

3″ Haven cooling buoyancy foam – Where the magic happens: Our custom blended foam with gel infusion, reacts faster than memory foam and has better support for more pressure relief, all while sleeping cooler.

2″ Supportive transition foam – Perforated holes that help the mattress breath and provide extra responsiveness.

7″ Haven high density foam – 7″ Haven High Density Foam Base – At 7″ our bases provide superior stability for every layer. It’s one reason our Haven foam gel mattresses have at least 1″ extra height compared to other brands And at 2.4lb of foam core density, this is at least 30% more than the market average, making it extra durable

Fireproof cloth – All Natural Organic Cotton is wrapped all the way around the Haven Premier. This fabric is eco-friendly, healthy and allows for exceptional airflow.

Base cover – A washable, durable and replaceable layer to keep your mattress clean. Just unzip at the side and it’s ready to be removed for cleaning.

My Haven Premier Mattress Findings

The Haven Premier has a quilted foam cover. As you can see in the picture below the quilting runs horizontally along the mattress. You can’t feel the ridges at all but it by stitching the mattress this way, it provides a more consistent feel across the mattress and prevents sagging. I put my 14 lb. bowling ball on the mattress to show how much it sinks. Most of the sinkage occurs from the quilted top layer and the top layer of comfort foam. This is also a thick fabric cover so it won’t wear down easily or tear but still stretches so that you get maximum contouring from the foam layers below. A typical 3 layer online foam mattress will have a stretch knit cover but it’s usually thin and is prone to tears.

haven mattress sinkage

This mattress really shines when you sleep on your side. It has great pressure relief for your hips and shoulders but not too much sink. I didn’t sleep hot on this mattress and was still able to change positions easily. That’s in large part to the 3 inches of buoyancy foam which is the top comfort layer of the mattress. It will contour and recover quickly and doesn’t trap as much heat compared to traditional memory foam.

haven side sleeping

I rarely sleep on my back but as you can see below even though you sink a fair amount into this mattress you are still getting good support. I wouldn’t recommend this for dedicated stomach sleeping but it is great for side and back sleeping.

haven back sleeping

Here you can see the different layers of the mattress. The blue layer is the buoyancy foam that gives this mattress its unique feel. When you pair that with the quilted foam in the cover, you get a more luxurious feel as opposed to a typical 3 layer mattress with a simple knit cover.

Final Thoughts on the Haven Mattress

This mattress easily justifies its retail price but when you take into consideration the massive discount it’s a steal. On top of that, Haven offers an 18-month trial. This is one of the longest trials for any mattress brand. You can try it out in your house for a year and a half and if you still don’t like it within that time, you can return it for a full refund. They don’t charge any shipping fees to deliver or return it. If you decide to keep it, you are backed by their, “Everlasting Warranty”. What stood out with this warranty is that as long as you own the mattress they will warrant against any defects but also any impressions over 1″ which again is a leader in the industry.

Finally, if price is a concern, Haven offers great financing terms so you can break down the cost into small monthly payments so that you can start getting better sleep now and pay it off over time.

I highly recommend the Haven to sleepers that prefer a plush feeling mattress without the drawbacks of heat retention and lack of support. This mattress has zero motion transfer and is great for maximum pressure relief.

 

Emma Mattress Review: Stunning Comfort at a Great Price!

by
Emma Mattress

The Emma Mattress is an all foam mattress that comes shipped in a box. The Emma mattress is made in Derby, England and was recently named a Best Buy by Which? magazine. The Emma is not just a typical 3 layers foam mattress. Instead, they incorporate individual pocket coils between the layers of foam for a more adaptive feel.

Overview of the Emma Mattress

Here’s a video of me on the Emma highlighting some of its features. This mattress retails at 649 pounds for a king size. According to their website, the mattress will be delivered to your home in about 3-5 business days. It comes compressed in a box which means easy transport to your house and into your room.

The Emma also comes with a 100 night trial period where you can try it out in the comfort of your own home and if you don’t like it returns are free.

Construction of the Emma Mattress

Inside of Emma Mattress

Below are some of the construction highlights of the Emma mattress as listed on their website.

Cover
The top cover consists of special climate fiber that regulates humidity. At the same time, it is so elastic that it fits the core of your mattress, perfectly.

Top Layer
The Airgocell® foam provides you with ideal comfort thanks to exceptional point-elasticity that allows one area to compress without affecting the rest of the mattress. In addition, Emma’s open-pored highly breathable material won’t make you sweat.

Coil Layer
Up to 2000 individual pocket springs optimised to balance out pressure disparities and provide the precise support your body needs.

The visco-elastic memory foam that rests within the intermediate layer distributes pressure optimally and adapts to your body’s unique contours. The material is a modern innovation that keeps you comfortable in any sleep position.

Our cold foam supports you where it matters. The firm bottom layer provides the necessary counter pressure whatever your sleeping position is and offers pressure relieving support for your lower back.

The dark gray side cover ensures optimal air circulation, gives the Emma mattress a stylish look and provides traction thanks to the practical anti-slip elements at the bottom.

Here’s another shot of the inside of the Emma.

Emma Mattress Layers

My Emma Mattress Findings

Here’s a peek inside the Emma mattress. Notice how each layer reacts.

 

Being an all foam mattress. The Emma handles motion disturbances very well. Here’s a video that shows how much the mattress isolations motion. For this video I used a couple bowling balls.

 

This mattress sinks a bit on the top layer but you get good support from the layers underneath. Here’s a photo that shows how much my bowling ball sinks on the Emma.

Emma Mattress Sink

As an added touch this mattress comes with stitched handles on each side to make it easy to rotate or move.

What I think really sets the Emma apart from the other online mattress companies in England is that this mattress comes with a  coil system. This gives the mattress just a bit more bounce without sacrificing conforming. It also adds a bit more breathibility.  Below is a picture of the coil system. These are small coils that provide extra contouring.

Emma Mattress Micro Coils

My Emma Recommendation

I found the Emma to be a bit firmer than the Leesa and about the same firmness of the Eve mattress. These are the other two online brands I have reviewed that are available for purchase in England. What I especially like about the Emma is that you get a more complex construction with the added coil system. With the 100 night guarantee you also have nothing to lose by trying it out. And, at this price point it is a great buy!

Mattress Topper Must-Have: Best Tips for Lasting Comfort

by
Mattress Topper Lifespan

[Tagline]

A mattress topper is a great bedding accessory to indulge in. A good quality mattress topper protects your mattress from general dust and stains. This not only helps in keeping the mattress clean for a longer time but also helps in improving the mattress’s quality and life span. Apart from this a good quality mattress topper also gives the added benefit of extra cushiony comfort and good support. All these qualities make the mattress topper a “must-have” in any bedroom.

The real question now is how long does the mattress topper last? Do you have to change it often or is it a one-time purchase? Something that you can just buy and forget about till you have to change your mattress itself? This point is important since you need to do the math regarding the purchase point of the mattress topper vs the life expectancy of the same. This article will help you understand this key point so that you can plan your purchases accordingly. 

What is a Mattress Topper?

In simple words, a mattress topper is a bedding accessory that is placed on top of the existing mattress. It is thin and is secured with the help of side elastic bands or even tie-up tassels. The primary function of a mattress topper is to give an extra layer of comfort and increase the shelf life of the mattress. It also with keeps the underlying mattress clean and stain-free. 

A mattress topper comes in different forms and sizes to suit individual preferences. You can also choose from different materials including organic latex and hypoallergenic materials to give you the best possible comfort level. The market is flooded with add-on features in mattress toppers like a breathable surface that improves air circulation and extra padding to give you a sinking cloud-like experience. Mattress toppers are also popularly known as mattress pads or mattress protectors.

Why Do You Need a Mattress Topper?

A lot of people feel that a mattress topper is just a useless money-making hack employed by manufacturers for added sale with little to support its credit. It is generally not viewed as a good value-for-money option. However, there are some key benefits to having a mattress topper over your mattress. These are listed below:

  • Gives your mattress a better lifespan
  • Helps in making the bed cozier and plusher for a better comfort level
  • You can change the firmness level of your mattress with a mattress topper making it softer or firmer as you desire
  • It keeps the mattress stain-free and traps the dirt preventing it from seeping into the mattress
  • All mattress toppers can be machine washed which helps in maintaining bed hygiene 

What is the Life Expectancy of a Mattress Topper?

The basic life span of a mattress topper depends on various factors ranging from its material composition, thickness level, and the quality of construction. All of these make it a little difficult to give an absolute figure for the life of the mattress topper. However, on an average a good quality mattress topper lasts anywhere between 3 to 5 years. A poorly constructed mattress topper will only last for a year or a maximum of two years. A lot of people think that since both the mattress and the mattress toppers are made from similar materials, they have similar life spans. Unfortunately, that is not true. A mattress topper lasts for a lower duration than the average mattress which boasts a good 7-to-10-year lifespan. 

At the lower end of the spectrum, any mattress topper will give you at least 6 to 8 months before giving up. At best, a mattress topper can last as long as your mattress depending on the frequency of use and the construction quality. Good maintenance will add value to your mattress topper and help you prolong its lifetime. As a rule of thumb, a mattress topper with a 3 to 5 years lifetime is considered a good value-for-money option. So, you can go ahead and buy a mattress topper that comes with a 3-to-5-year warranty with an easy mind.

Factors That Determine the Lifespan of a Mattress Topper

Just like any other bedding accessory, certain factors determine how long the mattress topper will last. Knowing about these factors will help you get a good estimate of how long you can reasonably expect your mattress topper to last. This way you do not have to blindly trust the friendly salesman. These factors will also help you pick the best mattress topper of the lot that will not only suit your comfort needs but also give your mattress good resilience and added life. 

  • Material Composition

The primary factor that determines the life of any mattress topper is the material that it is made up off. The quality of the material as well as the type of material used in the mattress topper construction governs its longevity. A mattress topper made with high-quality materials like wool or latex will last longer than one made with low-quality cotton. Also, a gel-infused mattress topper will last you anywhere between 10 to 15 years as opposed to a normal tufted topper that will only give you a maximum of 5 years.

  • Environmental Factors

The second most important factor that affects the life of a mattress topper is the elements that the mattress topper is exposed to. If you live in a place with a lot of dust and other particulate matters, your mattress topper will accumulate more dust and get dirty quickly. This will in turn mean that your mattress topper will undergo a lot more washes which will decrease its lifespan. Similarly, if you have pets, then the topper will be prone to allergens like pet dander which will affect its fibers and ultimately its lifespan. 

  • Body Weight

The higher the weight that the mattress topper supports regularly the higher the duress that it experiences. The mattress topper will over time develop indentations and compressions in the frequently used areas which result in the wearing off the topper. The higher the weight the quicker these indentations will appear lowering the quality and the ultimately the life of the mattress topper. 

  • Maintenance

Every household item’s lifespan directly depends upon the maintenance and upkeep of the item. If you care for the mattress topper well by keeping it clean and using it as directed by the manufacturer, then the lifespan of the topper automatically increases. Regular cleaning of your mattress topper will keep it in good working condition ensuring that you get the required comfort and support for an extended time.

  • Mattress Condition

Not many people understand this, but the overall condition of your mattress topper depends very heavily on the condition of your mattress on which it is placed. If your mattress is sagging with compressions, then this will cause your mattress topper to sag and develop indentations quickly. This is because ultimately it is the mattress that forms the base of the mattress topper. Hence if your mattress is old then the mattress topper will have a reduced lifespan as compared to another mattress topper.  

  • The thickness of the Topper

The thicker the mattress topper the longer its lifespan will be. This is because the thickness will absorb the weight on the topper better than a thinner version keeping the lumpiness at bay.

How To Increase the Lifespan of a Mattress Topper?

Now that you understand the various factors that cause the wear and tear of the mattress topper you can easily improve the quality and lifespan of the mattress topper to give you an extra few years. Some of how you can improve the working condition of the topper are:

  • Good maintenance and care
  • The topper should be placed on a good firm mattress
  • Rotate the mattress topper and flip it upside down every two weeks for an even use
  • Compress the mattress topper for storage purposes
  • Use a protective cover and good-quality fitted sheets for your mattress topper

Final Thoughts On Mattress Topper Lifespans

The bottom line to how long your mattress topper will last depends upon a lot of factors including your personal sleep preferences. For some people, the mattress topper might last a good 7 to 10 years whereas for others it might only be good for a few years or even just one year.  A good mattress topper should last you between 3 to 5 years. Any topper that comes with a warranty of under 3 years should be avoided. Apart from this, you should keep in mind that any mattress topper can be made to last longer with proper care and maintenance.

Dozens of Options for Black Friday Sales 2022

 

There are many different brands and types of mattresses available when you shop online. In stores, you can get limited options to choose from. Moreover, they only display the costlier options or the ones that bring them more profit.

When you buy online, you can browse through tons of options at a different price range. So whatever be your budget, you can get an ideal choice as per your needs.

Sleep Trial

Almost every brand online offers a sleep trial that helps you test out the mattress in your home for at least 100 days. Some brands also offer a sleep trial of a year.

If you do not like the mattress, you can even return it for a refund. This is one of the important reasons why many people prefer buying a mattress online where they can get a sufficient sleep trial rather than lying for a few minutes. Studies have shown that people lying down on the mattress for some minutes ended up making the wrong decision.

Informed Decision

In the brick and mortar store, you believe what the salesman says, and the knowledge can be limited. Whereas on the web, you can find multiple resources that can help you know in detail about the mattress.

No Sales Pressure

At some mattress stores, the salesperson pushes the customer to buy a particular product because that brings them more profit. Have you experienced the same? This is why many people prefer buying a mattress online.

When to Start Looking for Black Friday Mattress Sales?

Even though there is still time for the Thanksgiving weekend, most retailers and third party sites have started advertising. Start knowing the deals as early as possible. This will help you plan well during the deal day.

Retailer Websites

Print newspapers feature thanksgiving and Black Friday deals from major brands. Online news websites also cover the local offers and receive a press release with the deal information.

Steps to Buying a Mattress Online for Black Friday 2022

Step 1

Know your Needs and Wants

It is essential to know what you need and want before looking for mattress options. Consider these questions:

  • Do I want a soft or firm mattress?
  • What is my sleeping position?
  • What is my budget?
  • Are there any special features I want in a mattress like adjustable firmness, sleeping cool, etc.

You will be able to determine your needs and wants based on the answers you give for the above questions.

Step 2

Know More About your Options

We suggest you begin with our guides as they can help you give an idea of your key choices. You can then get more information about the mattress types and brands from the brand website.

Step 3

Narrow Down your Mattress Options

It would be very useful to you if you could narrow down your options. We recommend you to look for a few brands and choose one option from each according to your needs and then start narrowing down.

Step 4

Look for an Offer

After you have picked your top choices, you should now compare and look for coupons as well as promotions. You can get deals from many websites during the Black Friday Mattress Sale and it can help you save a lot of money.

Step 5

Purchase the Mattress

After you have found a deal for yourself, it is now the time to make a purchase. Ensure to check out the shipping details and also if you have to buy a bed frame and other essential bedding with the mattress.

Step 6

Sleep Trials

After the mattress is delivered, you can set up and start testing out. It may take a few days to adjust to the new bedding, so we recommend you to sleep on it for a month before coming to a conclusion.

Step 7

Decide If you Would Like to Keep the Mattress

Ensure to make a note to remind yourself about when the sleep trial ends. You need to make a decision some days before the sleep trial ends whether you want to keep the mattress or return it.

We hope to have helped to know everything about the Black Friday Mattress Sale. We understand buying a mattress is a huge investment and have mentioned the details that will help you make the right purchase.

At-Home Sleep Study: Exclusive Benefits You Must Know!

by
At home Sleep Study

Did you know that sleep apnea is the most common sleep disorder? Sleep apnea is more likely to happen as you get older, and the CDC estimates that it affects about 25 million Americans. The condition can be challenging to diagnose, but luckily there are a few different options for those who think they might have it. If your primary care physician cannot determine whether or not you have sleep apnea, going home for an at-home sleep study may be the best option for you. 

You’re probably wondering how accurate at-home sleep studies are if you’re thinking about getting one. Can you get the same results from a sleep study done in your bed as you would from a hospital?

The answer is yes—home sleep studies are just as accurate as hospital sleep studies, and in some cases, they can be even more precise. That’s because you’re more likely to sleep better in your bed, and strangers are not monitoring you.

There are some things to keep in mind, though. If you have sleep apnea, you should always talk to your doctor before starting a home sleep study. And if you have other medical conditions, some risks are associated with doing a home sleep study.

Overall, though, an at-home sleep study is a convenient, comfortable way to get the information you need to diagnose and treat sleep disorders.

What is an at-home sleep study?

An at-home sleep study is a test done in the patient’s home rather than in a sleep laboratory. The patient uses portable sleep equipment, which is often smaller and more comfortable than what is used in a sleep lab. Home sleep studies are becoming more common because they are just as effective as lab-based studies but much more convenient.

Someone might want to have an at-home sleep study for various reasons. Maybe they have trouble sleeping in a strange place or want to avoid the cost and hassle of going to a sleep lab. Whatever the reason, at-home sleep studies are an excellent option for many people.

There are two main types of at-home sleep studies: diagnostic studies and titration studies.

Diagnostic studies are used to diagnose sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Titration studies are used to find the correct dose of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) for people with OSA.

At-home sleep studies are usually done over one or two nights. The patient wears sensors on their body and uses a small machine to record their breathing, heart rate, and brain waves while they sleep. A sleep specialist then analyzes the data from the study to look for any signs of a sleep disorder.

If you think you might benefit from an at-home sleep study, talk to your doctor about whether it’s right for you.

Talk to Your Doctor About At-Home Sleep Tests.

If you think you may have obstructive sleep apnea, bring up the possibility of an at-home sleep test during your next doctor’s visit. Most primary care doctors refer people who might have sleep apnea to a qualified specialist (who determines what type of sleep testing is best for each patient).

How Many Times Can I Take an At-Home Sleep Apnea Test?

If you’re considering an at-home sleep apnea test, you may wonder how many times you can take the test. Several factors, including your health insurance coverage and doctor’s recommendation, determine the answer.

Health insurance coverage for at-home sleep apnea tests varies. Some insurance companies may cover the cost of the test once every two years, while others may only cover the price every five years. Give your insurance company a call to find out if they will cover the cost of an at-home sleep apnea test.

Your doctor may also recommend how often you should take an at-home sleep apnea test. If you have risk factors for sleep apnea, such as being overweight or having a family history of sleep apnea, your doctor may recommend that you take the test more often.

You can take an at-home sleep apnea test as often as your health insurance will cover it and as often as your doctor recommends it. If you have sleep apnea, taking the test more often than you need to won’t hurt you and will make sure you get the sleep apnea treatment you need.

What Sleep Disorders Can Home Tests Detect?

A variety of sleep disorders can be diagnosed with an at-home sleep study. The most common disorders include obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and insomnia.

During sleep, obstructive sleep apnea interrupts breathing. These can happen when the respiratory system gets blocked or when the muscles in the lungs are hard to control. Snoring, gasping for air while sleeping, and being tired during the day are all signs of obstructive sleep apnea.

Restless legs syndrome is a disorder that causes an irresistible urge to move the legs. This can be accompanied by a tingling or burning sensation in the legs. People with restless leg syndrome might find it difficult to fall and stay asleep.

Insomnia is a disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Insomnia can be caused by stress, anxiety, medications, or other medical conditions. If you have insomnia, you might have trouble falling asleep, wake up often at night, and feel tired during the day.

Who Shouldn’t Take a Home Sleep Study?

An at-home sleep study is not suitable for everyone. Some people should not take a home sleep study. The following is a list of conditions in which it would not be appropriate for you to take a home sleep study:

  • You have been told by a doctor that you have sleep apnea
  • You have high blood pressure
  • You have heart disease

How Accurate Are Home Sleep Apnea Tests?

An at-home sleep apnea test is a convenient and effective screening for this common sleep disorder. But how accurate are these tests?

There are two main at-home sleep apnea tests: The oximetry test and the flow sensor test.

Oximetry tests measure your blood oxygen levels overnight and can be done with a simple finger sensor that you wear while you sleep.

Flow sensor tests measure your breathing patterns overnight and require you to wear a small device around your neck.

Both at-home sleep apnea tests are highly accurate in diagnosing sleep apnea. Studies have shown that both tests are just as precise as traditional polysomnography (PSG) tests conducted in a hospital setting.

If you think you might have sleep apnea, an at-home sleep test is a great place to start. These tests are quick and easy to do, and they can give you peace of mind knowing that you’re getting an accurate diagnosis.

What happens during an at-home sleep study?

An at-home sleep study is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. It is usually done for one or two nights. The test is conducted in the comfort of your home, making it more convenient than going to a hospital for a sleep study.

During an at-home sleep study, you will be asked to wear sensors that measure your body movements, heart rate, and breathing. You will also be asked to keep a sleep diary. The sensors and sleep diary will help your doctor determine if you have a sleep disorder.

What are the benefits of an at-home sleep study?

An at-home sleep study is a convenient, comfortable option for people who need to be assessed for sleep disorders. An at-home sleep study offers several benefits, which include the following:

  1. You can sleep in your bed. This means you’ll be more comfortable and likely to get a good night’s sleep, which is essential for an accurate sleep study.
  2. You’re in familiar surroundings. This can help you relax and feel more comfortable during the study, improving the results’ accuracy.
  3. It’s less disruptive to your life. You don’t need to take time off work or arrange childcare, and there’s no need to travel to a hospital or sleep clinic.
  4. It’s often more affordable than a hospital-based sleep study.

Pros and Cons of an at-home sleep study?

When deciding whether to do an at-home sleep study, it is crucial to consider its pros and cons. Some pros may include sleeping in your bed or familiar surroundings, which is often more affordable than a hospital-based sleep study. Some cons to an at-home sleep study include that you may not have the same level of supervision as you would in a hospital and that the sensors can be uncomfortable. In the end, you should consult your doctor before doing an at-home sleep study.

What do you need for an at-home sleep study?

You will need a few things for an at-home sleep study. Most importantly, you will need a comfortable place to sleep. This may be your bed, or if you are uncomfortable sleeping, you may consider renting a hospital bed. You will also need a quiet, dark room with comfortable sheets and blankets. You will also require monitoring equipment, which you can rent from a sleep center or doctor. The kit usually includes sensors that attach to your body and monitor your breathing, heart rate, and brain waves during sleep.

How do you prepare for an at-home sleep study?

It would be best if you did a few things to prepare for an at-home sleep study. Most importantly,

  1. Finding a comfortable place to sleep would be best. This could be your bed, or you may need to rent a hospital bed. You will also need a dark, quiet room and comfortable sheets and blankets. In addition, you will need to rent some monitoring equipment from a sleep center or sleep doctor. This equipment usually includes sensors that attach to your body and monitor your vital signs during sleep.

You will also need to keep a sleep diary for at least two weeks before the study. This diary will help the sleep doctor assess your symptoms and see whether or not you suffer from sleep problems. The diary should include information such as how many hours of sleep you get each night, what time you go to bed and wake up, and how many times you wake up during the night.

  1. It is also important to avoid caffeine and alcohol before the study. Caffeine can interfere with sleep and make it difficult to fall asleep. Alcohol can make it easier to fall asleep but can also cause disruptions in breathing during sleep.

Before the study, you should check with your doctor if you take any medications that could affect sleep, such as sedatives or stimulants. These medications may need to be tapered off or stopped entirely for the study to be accurate.

  1. Make sure the room is dark and relaxed so you can comfortably fall asleep. Consider using an eye mask or earplugs if needed.
  2. Follow the instructions provided by the company conducting the study carefully. This will ensure accurate results and minimize any discomfort during the test.
  3. Have someone else stay in the house with you during the study so they can help with any technical issues that may arise overnight.
  4. Relax and try to get a good night’s sleep! The most important part of an at-home sleep study is getting enough rest so that the results are accurate.

How to interpret the results of an at-home sleep study?

After completing your at-home sleep study, it is crucial to interpret the results to receive an accurate diagnosis of your sleep disorder. The first step is to review your sleep diary during the study. This will help your doctor determine if you had difficulty sleeping during the study. Next, your doctor will check the sensors you wore during the study. These sensors will measure your body movements, heart rate, and breathing. Based on these measurements, your doctor can determine if you have a sleep disorder.

What are the next steps after an at-home sleep study?

After an at-home sleep study, the following steps will depend on the diagnosis of your sleep disorder. If you have a sleep disorder, your doctor will likely prescribe treatment. The most common treatments for sleep disorders are lifestyle changes, such as changing your sleep habits or avoiding caffeine before bedtime. Your doctor may also prescribe medication to help you fall and stay asleep. If your doctor doesn’t treat you, they may send you to a sleep specialist for more testing.

Are there any risks associated with an at-home sleep study?

An at-home sleep study is a generally safe procedure with few risks. The most common chances are False Positives and False Negatives.

A false positive is when the sleep study results show a person has a sleep disorder when they do not. A false positive can occur if the sensors are not placed correctly on the body or if the person moves around a lot during the night.

A false negative is when the sleep study results show that a person does not have a sleep disorder when they do. This can happen if the person has no major sleep disorders or if the sensors do not pick up on any subtle changes in the body.

Other risks of an at-home sleep study are that the sensors could irritate the skin, make sleeping uncomfortable, or make it hard to keep track of all the data.

Overall, an at-home sleep study is a safe and convenient way to diagnose sleep disorders.

Conclusion

If you have signs of sleep apnea but your doctor can’t tell for sure if you have it, a sleep study might be the best thing to do. An at-home sleep study is the most convenient option, but it may not be as accurate as an in-lab sleep study. Following your doctor’s instructions is essential to getting the treatment you need if you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Spine Align is a company founded by Dr. Jason Loth, a sports chiropractor with over 17 years of experience. With his background, he developed a unique pillow called the Spine Align Pillow which provides optimal spine support for any sleeping position. Recently, Spine Align launched 3 new mattresses all made in the USA. I received the 13.5″ Deep Sleep Hybrid Mattress free for review which is the plushest of the 3 offerings.

Overview of the Spine Align Mattress

Although this mattress is over 13 inches deep and has a spring system, it still comes roll-packed in a box and will ship to your door. Here’s a picture of it taken out of the box but still in the packaging.

As you can imagine it takes a lot of force to compress and wrap this mattress. Once you open it though, it comes to life quickly. You can hear air being sucked into the mattress as you cut through the plastic. Here’s what it looks like after opening.

Here’s a video overview of the mattress and what sets it apart. As you can see it is a thick mattress with layers of high quality material throughout.

How Much Does the Spine Align Mattress Cost?

Construction of the Deep Sleep Hybrid

Below are the construction details of the mattress as listed on their website. This mattress is somewhat similar in construction to other hybrids on the market but what sets it apart is that the top layers are more responsive and breathable while still giving you a cozy feeling.

1.5″ OF ARCTICPHASE™ GEL-INFUSED FOAM


Gives you both the soft comfort and the responsive support you’re looking for which is where most memory foams fail. This amazing hyper-elastic foam also promotes cooling because nobody wants to sleep hot, and has antibacterial properties for a more comfortable and healthy sleeping environment.

1.5″ OF SERENE™ FOAM


We chose this unique foam because it actually gives greater support, has greater cooling properties, and relieves pressure points more effectively than traditional memory foam. In other words, Serene™ foam helps to cradle and comfort your body to give you exceptional support that’s needed for correct spinal alignment.

1.5″ OF PRIMETRA™ FOAM


Our PrimeTRA™ foam acts as a transitional layer of high-density foam, providing greater strength and durability to our individually pocketed coil system.

8″ OF  MAX ENGINEERED POCKETED COILS


For added support. We have included a full 8 inches of individually pocketed coils, increasing responsiveness to movement while isolating your movement to minimize sleep disturbance. You also get the added benefit of greater edge support that many mattresses don’t offer.

1″ OF HD SUPPORTIVE BASE FOAM


Long-lasting and durable compacted foam, giving the mattress a solid and durable foundation.

My Spine Align Mattress Findings

The 13.5″ Deep Sleep model is the plushest of the 3 mattress offerings from Spine Align. Here’s a picture of my 14 lb. bowling ball sinking into the mattress. It has a pillow top feel without actually having a pillow top.

Here’s a view from the side to contouring and hug. The spring system provides good edge support so you won’t feel like rolling off the side.

Spine Align Contouring

This video demonstrates motion transfer on the mattress. Aside from the pocket coil system, the top layer of serene foam provides a little extra bounce which basically makes this mattress feel like a traditional mattress even though there are layers of foam.

This mattress has extra details such as handles on two sides to make rotating or transporting the mattress super easy.

My Spine Align Deep Sleep Recommendation

The Spine Align Deep Sleep Hybrid is an excellent choice for side sleepers looking for superior contouring without getting too hot. Spine Align incorporates next-gen foams are more breathable and resilient. This mattress was developed with the expertise of a chiropractor that understands the importance of spinal alignment and I think he nailed it with this mattress. For side sleepers, it hits the mark where I didn’t feel like my hips sank too much but my shoulders weren’t sore either.

Like most online mattress brands, this mattress comes with a 100 night trial with a free return so there’s certainly no risk in trying.
