The Tempur Mattress and Alzheimer's

Recent studies have shown that Tempur mattresses have a positive effect on those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. How the Tempur mattress helps is that it reduces the amount of agitation that these individuals experience. One of these studies compared the levels of agitation between those using Tempur mattresses and those who didn't. What the study found was that those who used the mattresses were less agitated than those who didn't.

This study proved that when Alzheimer's patients and those suffering from dementia were presented with a Tempur mattress to help them sleep better, the better sleep resulted in significantly lower agitation levels than those who did not use the Tempur mattresses.

According to researchers, they state that Alzheimer's and dementia has such intense symptoms of agitation and sleep disturbances that they have literally been considered the most intense symptoms of the disease. These symptoms are usually the deciding factors for loved ones when struggling with whether or not to place their family member within a nursing home.

Fortunately, the ongoing studies regarding how a Tempur mattress can influence the agitation levels of the Alzheimer's patient is very promising and could make a difference in the lives of many who suffer from the disease. Overall, the use of a Tempur mattress could improve the quality of life for the Alzheimer's patient and could also have a prominent place within patient rooms in nursing homes, making the care of these patients even more manageable in addition to their regular medication.
