| When you go to sleep, your body goes to work
The mind and body do not shut down during sleep. Sleep allows the brain to consolidate the day’s learning into memory and improves the ability to learn repetitive skills, such as riding a bike or working on a computer. During sleep, the body does maintenance work- replacing old cells with new ones and reenergizing organs and muscles. Sleeplessness adds up to a sleep debt
Sleep loss that accumulates from one night to the next is known as a "sleep debt" or sleep deprivation. Even a modest loss of sleep may produce a serious sleep debt when sustained over several nights. The only way to reduce this debt is to get the amount of sleep your body needs.

If you’re tossing and turning night after night and not getting the deep, restful sleep you need, you may want to consider that your mattress and foundation could be stealing your sleep. The Better Sleep Council recommends carefully evaluating the comfort and support of your sleep set each year. Innersprings are component units, individual coils, that are held together in rows by lacing helical (long springs or lighter gangue spring wire that hold each two rows of coils together). At their ends, they are attached to a border rod (a heavy gauge rod) that forms the perimeter of the innerspring unit. Better innerspring units should provide proper spinal alignment, while contouring the bodies shape to minimize excessive pressure points.
Innerspring coils are used in innersprings and boxsprings and are made in a range of sizes, gauges, shapes and heights. The coil sizes are designated numerically according to the total number that are used in a double size innerspring or boxspring. As an example, when there are 312 coils in a double size innerspring, there will be fewer in a twin size made with the same coils and more in the King and Queen sizes. Boxsprings begin as individual coils and other components that are assembled into finished constructions designed to complement the innerspring design of the mattress. Boxsprings are frequently overlooked in choosing a mattress set. However boxsprings are a very important factor in the overall comfort, support and durability of a mattress set. Better boxsprings units should maximize weight transfer from the mattress. This will reduce stress on the mattress and help reduce excessive pressure points. Tempering or stress relieving of the coils is a necessary operation in the manufacture of innerspring units and boxsprings. Tempering with heat or electricity assures that the coils will return to their original height after compression...night after night...year after year. Tempering removes the stresses set up in the coils during manufacture. Controlled and complete tempering of all components of an innerspring unit...all coils, lacing helicals, and the border rod...result in the complete comfort and long life you can expect from a set of innerspring bedding. Ticking is the package a bedding set is wrapped in. It's the flowered, striped, or other patterns you see on the outside of the mattress and boxspring. Top finishing is the way a mattress looks on top. Mattress tops are finished in several ways. The most popular style now appears to be quilt tops whereby various patterns are used to quilt designs into the top surface of the mattress...or on both sides. For surface softness, many manufacturers quilt the ticking to soft urethane foam of varying thicknesses. A variation is the pillow top mattress which has a big pillow of soft materials sewn over the entire surface of the mattress. The ticking is the same pattern as the mattress and the pillow-top is frequently quilted. A smooth top mattress is built up comfortably with layers of cotton, polyester, urethane foam and other materials. As the name implies, it just isn't quilted. The oldest method of holding the ticking and the filling materials together is by button tufting. Button tufted mattresses will have regularly spaced buttons showing on both sleeping surfaces. |
