On the one hand, your height, weight and body size will determine what mattress will provide the best comfort for you.  On the other hand, the dimensions of your bedroom and the style of your home’s interiors provide another set of criteria for your mattress’s size.

Make a mistake, and you’ll suffer restless nights, or even serious discomfort.  But the correct mattress can provide a blissful eight hours of rest each night and bring an air of restful, harmonious comfort to your bedroom’s décor.

Twin Mattress

Some interiors have limited space, and some sleepers are smaller than others! A twin size mattress may be the right solution for a child’s room with bunk beds or a loft bed, making the most of a tight interior.  Twin mattress size can also be a good solution for a daybed in a multi-use room, guest room, or playroom.  A typical twin size mattress length is 75 inches; width varies from 35 to 39 inches.

Queen Mattress

A Queen size mattress is a nice compromise for smaller master bedrooms.  Still spacious enough to provide comfortable sleep, even for two sleepers, this size fits almost any master bedroom with room to spare.  If you are tall, the additional 5 inches of length gives a queen size bed a major advantage over a full-size.

King Mattress

If you share your bed, a king size mattress may be the best choice for you.  The extra space can make the difference between a good night’s sleep and a great night’s sleep.  You can enjoy the luxury of having plenty of room to stretch out, extra pillows, and a variety of sleep positions without disturbing your mate.

You might want to consider testing the mattress you choose. After all, the size may look right, but you won’t be looking at it — you’ll be sleeping in your bed every night!  Just in case you do change your mind or find that the mattress you chose isn’t quite right for you, Natural Form Sleep System mattresses come with a 20-year warranty.

Proper sleep posture is an important factor in getting the rest you need.   Improper sleep positioning has been linked to sleep disorders, muscle and joint aches and pains, and headaches.

Finding a comfortable position for sleep may sound easy, but in fact it’s not quite as simple as it sounds.  The key is maintaining a position that feels natural and avoids stressing any specific part of the body.

Here are five quick tips to improve sleeping posture:

1. Sleeping flat on your back can create stress on the spinal cord.  It can also stretch the muscles of the neck and back, which may cause aches and pains during daytime hours. To bring the spine into its proper alignment and avoid these complications, place a pillow below your knees when sleeping on your back.
2. Are you a stomach sleeper?  This position can strain your neck and lower back.  Try to break the habit by going to bed with an empty stomach.  Natural Form’s Self Adjusting Beds adjust to your body’s weight, enhancing your comfort in any position you choose.
3. If possible, sleep on your side.   This comforting position mimics the position of a fetus in the womb, and it also places the least amount of strain on your back. Placing a pillow between your knees will prevent your knee joints from becoming sore.
4. Choose the right mattress. A high-quality mattress provides support to your entire spine.  Once the spine is properly aligned, the muscles have a natural tendency to assume a relaxed, restful position. Natural Form’s Self Adjusting Beds are clinically proven and recommended by doctors because they provide optimal support for the spine.
5. Your neck muscles are easily strained after supporting the weight of the head all day. Neck strain can cause fatigue and severe headaches. Try for a pillow that’s firm enough to provide proper support, but soft enough so that the neck is cradled in a stable yet flexible position.

If you follow these simple suggestions to develop good sleep posture, you’ll find that a better night’s sleep is not far behind.
