Four Tips For Sound Sleep


When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, peace of mind plays an important role. Knowing the people that you love are resting comfortably and, more importantly, resting safely — is the key to achieving a great night’s sleep for everyone in the family. Ashley Sleep, one of the fastest growing mattress brands,  offers four valuable tips that can lead to better sleep.

1. Know what’s in your mattress
While mattresses may look the similar on the outside, not all are created equally. Be sure to find out how your mattress was manufactured and which chemicals are used inside. Ashley Sleep uses state-of-the-art sleep technology like SynTex in every Latex Mattress. Infused with natural seed oil, this process minimizes the use of petrol-based chemical oils — allowing our mattresses to meet or exceed the most rigorous flame-retardancy test. They’re also a more eco-friendly option.

2. Is the foam CertiPUR-US approved?
When choosing a mattress containing polyurethane foam, make sure that the foam inside is CertiPUR-US approved. CertiPUR-US is an independent laboratory testing mattresses agisnt environmental, health and safety guidelines. CertiPUR-US certified foams are made without PBDEs, ozone-depleters, prohibited phthalates, lead, mercury and heavy metals and formaldehyde. They are also certified low-emissions for indoor air quality.

3. Comfort for allergy sufferers
Latex Mattresses are an excellent choice for allergic family members. Latex is a naturally hypoallergenic, renewable and eco-friendly material made from the sap of plantation-grown rubber trees, that’s bacteria, mold, mildew and dust-mite resistant. (Some people are allergic to latex and believe they cannot purchase a latex mattress for this reason. But true allergic reactions to latex are from direct contact. You will never be in direct contact with the latex in the mattress.)

4. Replace pillows often
No matter what kind of pillows you choose, it’s important to replace them about every year or so. Older pillows may contain skin cells, mold, dust mites, mildew and fungus. And no matter how perfect those pillows were when you first purchased them, over time, they will begin to lose their shape and supportive qualities.
