Tempur Mattresses and the Elderly

Unfortunately, when the elderly complain of sleep problems, physicians aren't always writing it down and something as simple as a Tempur mattress can improve these sleep problems. However, nearly 70% of the elderly complain of at least one instance in which they cannot sleep and 40% complain that they have experienced more than two episodes of insomnia. This is important because insomnia in the elderly is associated with poor mental and physical condition.

Another thing that lack of sleep does to the elderly is reduce their metabolic function, which can lead to cardiovascular issues as well as different forms of cancer. Overall, this increases their mortality rate and the sensitivity to pain in the elderly. That is why it is very important that our seniors get the necessary sleep because it improves the quality of their life as well as the quantity.

What a Tempur mattress can do is use its memory foam technology to improve the quality of sleep in the elderly. These mattresses have been used to manage such conditions as arthritis and Fibromyalgia due to the fact that the mold created by the body in the memory foam material equally distributes pressure all over the body. This allows for stress to be relieved on certain areas of the body, which results in a better sleep for our beloved elders. It is very important that our seniors get the sleep that they need and deserve so that they will be with us for many more years to come
