The same is the case with mattresses. When your mattress gets into the wear or tear, you immediately decide to replace it. Now, you will replace it with the best bed. I mean, why would you invest in a low-quality mattress. It makes no point, right?
You can compare both mattresses by yourself, and you would notice even the slightest difference. Go through its material, durability, and its advanced models. And the most crucial factor while buying, you guessed it right. ”budget”. Order the best mattress according to your budget. It should last for around 7 to 8 years.
Have you had inadequate sleep for the last few days? Time to change your mattress then!
Now a question arises. Whether to invest in a foam mattress or a cotton mattress?
Let’s get into the details without dragging anything.
Cotton was the most used material for years. It grows from organic plants without the usage of chemicals or fertilizers. Organic plants help in building biologically diverse agriculture. But in today’s time, we need to consider other factors when consuming a product. Our approach leads us to think that advancement in technology also matters apart from excellent quality. Since we live in an era where ways of producing things and methods are changing daily, one cannot stick to the old school of thought. We need to adapt them and implement them in our lives to achieve goals efficiently. Buy household items that give an efficient result or buy trendy apparel. Just like them, they buy mattresses that provide support and comfort.
Cotton mattresses get penetrated the market for a long time. Initially, they are soft and highly comfortable to use, but then the problem starts with them. The cotton foam starts sagging. Due to sagging, the mattress becomes thin and loses its quality. They usually have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years.
They can easily attract bugs, and this makes them unclean. Cotton mattresses are not responsive to the body’s movement. That is why it causes backaches.
This makes it clear that memory foam is a great option. Still, I will provide you with reasons.
The foam mattress gets infused with a gel that keeps the bed excellent. It acts as extra support to your mattress because it allows heat to escape. It adds some extra bounce to the mattress, which gives a comfy vibe. This makes it perfect for summers.
You have a meeting and woke up early in the morning with back pain and felt lethargic. This is an obvious and valid sign to replace your mattress. Then why not replace it with Sleep king mattresses. You would not regret it. Want to know why? First of all, it relieves pain and pressure. To make your sleep environment peaceful and your room a comfy place, a foam mattress maintains the temperature of your room.
Buy mattresses that consist of body contouring technology to keep your posture aligned. It caters to different body compositions with its motion isolation technology as well. The isolation technology of a foam mattress makes it better than a cotton mattress.
They quickly adapt to your body shape and offer a firm surface. It is more durable than a cotton mattress. It allows breathability to stay cool in summers, and it does not get worn out more often. Foam mattresses last for about 10 to 15 years. Replacing your mattress with Sleep king mattresses will provide various plush firmness options. If you get this, your children would love it because of the softness and comfortability it offers.
Another plus point of a foam mattress is easier to clean. You can have your favorite pancakes with a mug of black coffee while sitting on your foam mattress. Its maintenance gets more manageable if you have children in your home because it also absorbs moisture.
It must be highly hectic to clean the old mattresses, but you will cherish them once you order them from Sleep king mattresses. Since Covid’19 has made us all realize the importance of hygiene, you must vacuum your mattress quite often. If there are stains, remove them and air out the bed to let it dry. This way, you will also get rid of an unpleasant odor if there is one.
Have you ever stopped to think about what’s in your bed? It seems like something we should care about, seeing as how we spend a good portion of our lives lying directly on top of it. We all want to know that we are getting the best sleep possible and that can really be affected by the material in our beds.
Cotton was the number one ingredient used for mattresses up until about 30 years ago when companies started filling their beds with foam. Foam is cheap, it breaks down fast and it’s not natural at all. Cotton is durable, breathable and natural. So let’s delve into the differences and see why you should have cotton in your bed.
All natural, unbleached long staple cotton is the most durable material you can use when building a mattress, take a look at most high-end mattresses ($10,000+) and you will see cotton is in almost all of them. In our beds, cotton is compressed, and tufted, which makes it even more durable and long-lasting, so you don’t have to buy a new mattress every 5 – 8 years, you can have a good quality bed that lasts 15+.
Foam, on the other hand, was introduced to increase margins and drive sales. Foam is cheap and so the manufacturers replaced their cotton, but still charged cotton prices, giving them more profit. That doesn’t seem fair! Foam also breaks down a lot faster, forcing customers to buy a new bed a lot sooner than they would with a cotton bed.
If it’s hot, sleep is no fun, and if your bed it contributing to this problem, it could be affecting your health. Foam and memory foam specifically retain your body heat, that’s how they form to your body. This causes your baseline body temperature to rise over the course of the night, causing you to toss and turn, and maybe even wake up multiple times.
The industry has tried gel foams, phase change technology, and a slew of other “solutions” to fix this, but the easiest way is cotton. Cotton is very breathable, which is why it’s used for clothing, sheets, and mattresses. Cotton Incorporated, the people behind “The Fabric of Our Lives” even have a hashtag #CoolerinCotton.
“Natural fibres, such as horsehair, flax, wool, cotton and down are best if you get hot at night. Synthetic memory foam can become hot and may not absorb moisture efficiently so look for products that combat this if it’s an issue.” UK Sleep Council
Cotton is Natural, period. And the US is one of the top three producers which means we can source all of our materials right from home. Natural means a safer sleep as well, no chemicals, no off-gassing, no petroleum-based product making you sick. All those things are front and center when you sleep on polyurethane foams. I do want to give a shout out to Latex though, it is the only natural foam available and just like cotton, it is a wonder to sleep on. Maybe we’ll cover Latex next time.
So, let’s review, Cotton is long lasting, adding value to your purchase and extending the life expectancy. It is breathable, keeping your body at its natural temperature, aiding in a more restful sleep, and keeping allergens away from you. It’s Natural, cutting out all the chemicals, off-gassing and ickiness of synthetic foams. Oh, and it’s value blows away the competition.
