homeTempur - pregnancy
Sleeping while pregnant can be uncomfortable, a Tempur mattress can ease the pressure.
Sleeping in certain positions while pregnant, such as on your back or stomach, can become uncomfortable and problematic; during a time when your body is undergoing dramatic change and your baby is growing and developing, getting a good nights sleep has never been more important. Tempur mattresses mould to the shape of your body, no matter how much it changes, and provide support where it's needed most.
Problem positions
During the first trimester when the breasts become tender sleeping on your belly may become uncomfortable, also as your belly becomes larger lying face down may become unfeasible.
Sleeping on your back also has its problems as it means putting the full weight of the uterus on your back and intestines. This sleeping position can also heighten the risk of developing haemorrhoids, backache, impaired breathing, poor digestion, bad circulation and low blood pressure.
The correct position
Sleeping on your left side maximises the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta and also helps to expel waste products more effectively. Arranging pillows between your legs, behind your back and under your stomach can provide much needed extra support.
Lying on your left side can put a lot of pressure on your hips, using a foam support on top of your mattress can help alleviate this.
Tempur solution
As an alternative to placing a foam support on top of your mattress you may want to consider a Tempur mattress. The Tempur mattress features a composition of billions of "visco-elastic" spherical open cells; these cells not only respond to pressure but also your body temperature; becoming softer in warmer areas where your body is making the most contact with the foam and firmer in cooler ones where less contact is made. This essentially means the mattress is firm where necessary and soft where you want it. This is in stark contrast to traditional polyurethane or spring coil mattresses.
If you require additional support, Tempur offer a range of products that can further enhance your sleep experience.
