It is said that we spend one third of our lifetime sleeping. That’s 25 years of sleep if we reach the age of 75. One of the most important pieces of furniture that we can ever own is a good quality mattress. A good quality mattress is essential for our overall well-being. Not only you’re able to sleep better, but a good night’s rest does wonders for the mind and body. Your memory is sharper and your mind functions better when you’re well rested. Mattresses that are inexpensive may seem like the best thing you can do for your wallet, yet they may not provide the same support, durability, and comfort that a good quality mattress will.
While it’s true that inexpensive mattresses don’t boast the same benefits as a good quality mattress, it’s also true that all “good quality” mattresses are not like. Some of them contain synthetic chemicals, such as formaldehyde, that we can easily inhale every night. Therefore, they’re no better than buying an inexpensive mattress since they’re both on the same page. Many of us may not think of the health ramifications as long as we’re getting a good night’s rest, but you may have been sleeping on a chemical-filled mattress that has been touted as “good quality” for over 100,000 hours if you’re over the age of 35. This staggering amount is most likely to double in your lifetime if you continue sleeping on a mattress that’s made of synthetic chemicals.
Ron Rudzin, CEO of Saatva, firmly believes that one should also opt for a mattress that helps keep you cool and offers excellent lumbar support. He also recommends selecting a mattress and foundation that is based on the height of your window sills and nightstands, and not just one that accommodates your frame and headboard.
Saatva takes the green initiative by using the finest eco-friendly materials for luxurious, yet healthy mattresses. Their luxury mattresses are made of organic cotton that are blended with hypo allergenic fibers (natural thistle barrier) that not only meets flame retardant laws, but they’re also safe and gentle for the skin. Their inner springs are constructed with recycled and oven-baked tempered steel to create the strongest and most durable mattresses while reducing waste. It doesn’t get better than this, as their memory-foam layer has not only been made with corn and soy, but it hasn’t been processed with formaldehyde or other irritating solutions in the process.
Nothing lulls me more into a blissful slumber than a soft mattress. I selected the Plush Soft (14.5 mattress) with the 8″ foundation ($1,149). This type of mattress is best for those who mostly sleep on their side and occasionally on their back (I’ve always slept on my side), have issues with their arms falling asleep before they do, feel in enveloped in their bed and linens, and simply loves a soft mattress. It’s green luxury at its finest!
How do you get a good night’s sleep?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
I was just saying to my husband that I think it’s time to get a new mattress. Ours is getting a little lumpy.
I have two mattresses I want to replace for my kids I’ve never heard of this brand but sounds nice.
What a great information, it looks like a good mattress. I will keep this in mind when we are in need of a new one.
I need a new mattress! I have to check this out. Thanks for sharing 😀

Sleep is so important to all of us. I think one of the biggest investments a person would spend on is probably a bed. We just spend so much time sleeping, and our daily functioning depends on having a good night’s rest. This bed looks very comfortable. Thank you for sharing.
I have never heard of that brand before. It looks like a really good mattress.

Having a good mattress really makes a difference. That looks like an awesome mattress!
I never realized all of those factors when considering mattresses. I love the fact that the green aspect affects something that you’ll likely keep and use daily for some 10+ years!

It looks really nice. Thanks for the info – I had no idea that I needed to take into account the height of my windowsills and night stands. I will keep that in mind when we buy our next mattresses (which we should have done years ago!).

I made the mistake of letting my husband pick out our last mattress alone. It’s perfect for him–hard as a rock. I would rather kick my daughter out of her bed & sleep there. It’s so much more comfortable! I’ve learned how important having the right mattress is the hard way. Next time, I’m shopping with him & checking out Saatva.

I’d love a new mattress! The only new mattress we’ve ever had was about 20 years ago, it was a new waterbed mattress for like $30.
I had no idea there was formaldehyde in mattresses. You’re right, it’s so important to be aware of what’s in your stuff.

Love the ecofriendly aspect, and that it has the memory foam in it. We recently purchased a new mattress for our daughter and those were high on the list of must haves! Don’t want everything off gassing.
My mattress is 14 years old. This one sounds wonderful!

I myself usually sleep on my side, too. I think my mattress has some problems because when I get up, my arm hurts so much. Your suggestion is really helpful to me. Thank you!
I tried this product and I can say that it is my best mattress ever. I think I have what I pay for.
I think this is a great review. I know what I’m talking about. I myself hardly ever pay attention to every little detail but you do.
Haven’t heard this Saatva Luxury Mattresses. Thanks for sharing your great review. I’m actually looking for a new bed mattress but still undecided what’s the best one to buy. I’ll put this on my list. Thanks again!
