Let’s talk about bed, baby!

MANILA, Philippines - There are so many things we do in bed other than getting intimate like resting, reading or watching TV. It ultimately makes practical sense that a mattress is the perfect gift for your loved one even if they haven’t realized it yet.

“Many things that we take for granted are affected by sleep,” Dr. Raymonde Jean, director of sleep medicine and associate director of critical care at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, stated at the huffingtonpost.com. “If you sleep better, you can certainly live better. It’s pretty clear.”

To have a good night’s sleep, choose a mattress brand that’s known for comfort, style and durability. Uratex Premium Mattresses might just be the answer to your needs.

Scientific studies, as cited by longevity.about.com, state that sleep reduces stress: “When your body is sleep-deficient, it goes into a state of stress. The body’s functions are put on high alert, which causes an increase in blood pressure and a production of stress hormones. Higher blood pressure increases your risk for heart attacks and strokes. The stress hormones also, unfortunately, make it harder for you to sleep.”

There is the Uratex Therapoint Mattress, a superior-grade, high-resilient foam where comfort and support is at a perfect balance so you enjoy deep, sound sleep every night. Therapoint Mattress uses the Coolmax Technology Mattress cover, a high-performance fabric that dries fast compared to other mattresses. Coolmax minimizes tiredness caused by perspiration during your sleep and maximizes sleep quality.

The Uratex Senso Memory Foam Mattress is made of high-quality memory or visco-elastic foam originally developed by NASA to reduce extreme pressure on astronauts during takeoff. This is particularly good, according to naturalsleep.org, for athletes who need enough sleep to improve physical performance. The site states: “Sleep is highly rated on an athlete’s agenda, at least those who understand the benefit of it. During sleep muscle tissue is rebuilt. In addition, the release of growth hormone during sleep also exerts an additive effect on recovery and performance enhancement.”

“You know recovery is just as key as working out when it comes to keeping your body toned; the same goes for your skin. Overnight, skin cells regenerate and facial muscles that create lines relax,” says Rubin Naiman, PhD, a sleep specialist at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Trapunto by Rajo Laurel is exclusively designed by one of the country’s most creative minds in the world of fashion. It offers a new level of luxury, support and comfort, with its contoured cut and knitted fabric cover that provides a soft, plush feel that brings a cool and relaxed sleeping experience. Both foam and cover are treated with Sanitized so you’re assured of effective protection against bacteria, fungi, dust mites, mold, mildew and odor. Being a three-zone mattress, Trapunto ensures superior support in the shoulder, lumbar and hip areas, making sure that you have that supermodel poise all day.

The Pediatrics journal found out in a 2009 study “that children ages seven and eight who got less than about eight hours of sleep a night were more likely to be hyperactive, inattentive, and impulsive.” The journal Sleep, meanwhile, found in a 2010 study that “Children between the ages of 10 and 16 who have sleep disorder breathing, which includes snoring, sleep apnea, and other types of interrupted breathing during sleep, are more likely to have problems with attention and learning that could lead to ‘significant functional impairment at school.’”

Purifoam by Uratex has been especially designed to help address this problem and satisfy the need for a mattress that offers protection against allergy-causing microbes.

The Uratex Premium Touch Viscoluxe Memory has an advanced and combined pocket-spring system and body-molding memory foam for soothing indulgence. Sensitive to body heat and weight, the memory foam gently conforms to body contours to relieve pressure points and create a comfortable cocoon-like feel.
