Uncomfortable mattresses mean less sleep, says new research

Comfortable mattresses, like the Tempur mattress, are important for getting a good night's rest, new research suggests.

Although going to bed should be relaxing, many people are uncomfortable meaning they can lose up to an hour's sleep every night.
There are many ways to combat this problem. Memory mattresses which mould to the shape of your body, such as Tempur, are one way to be more comfortable, according to the Irish Independent.

It is also important to test out different mattresses whenever you buy a new one.

Likewise, the position you lie in can affect your sleep. Avoid lying on your front and sleep with your entire neck on the pillow if possible.

A mattress which 'accepts' your body, like the Tempur mattress, can also help to reduce the pressure on your shoulders and hips when lying on your side.

Research by the Sleep Council supports the idea that a good quality mattress aids sleep. You also be in a relaxed environment and have a bedtime ritual to help you drift off, according to the NHS.
