How mom Andi Manzano-Reyes rocks baby Olivia to sleep

MANILA, Philippines - Sleep is really super important to my husband GP Reyes, my seven-month-old baby Olivia and me,” shares mom, radio DJ and host Andi Manzano-Reyes. “I am learning the ropes of motherhood with Olivia. No amount of books I have read or advice given prepared me for motherhood.” 

It is no wonder that when Andi and GP were looking for a mattress for their bed, they chose Dunlopillo.  Andi shares that she is happy with how their Dunlopillo mattress has been able to keep back problems at bay both for her and GP.  But she realized just how important a good bed mattress was when she got pregnant in August 2014. 

“We were actually planning to have a baby this year,” chuckles Andi. “But Olivia came as a surprise to us. Work and home life is a balancing act in itself. Throw in a new mom’s sleeping schedule, and it becomes a circus.”

It’s in the spring: All Dunlopillow mattresses feature the most technologically advanced spring system in the market and is durable and supportive at the same time. It also has a unique total heat tempered system that guarantees proper elasticity, total resilience and high durability.   

Perchance to sleep

“It is important to invest in a good mattress,” says Jam Chan, managing director of Ital Design furniture, distributor of Dunlopillo, at a bed party recently.  “Not only should we invest in a good couch for our homes. I know of people who invest up to P800,000 or more for a couch. It is just as important to invest in what goes in the bedroom because the bedroom is really the most important part of the house.”

I guess it is true when people say that almost all of life’s special moments are celebrated in the bedroom.  Add to that, the fact that we actually spend  1/3 of our lives in bed, sleeping. 

I know just how hard it is to get out of bed when we lack sleep. Moreso perhaps for a new mom like Andi. Sleep patterns change with motherhood. That is why moms have to make sure that when they snooze, they are getting the highest quality sleep possible.

Dunlopillo understands good sleep. Through the years, it has understood that bedrooms are sacred spaces.

With over 85 years of scientific research and innovation, Dunlopillo mattresses provide superior comfort and support. This year, Dunlopillo launches a new line of mattresses for modern moms to get the rest that they deserve, giving them more time for precious bedroom moments.

The NormaBlock is Dunlopillo’s most superior innerspring system, and is the most technologically advanced mattress spring support system on  the market. Fully engineered in Europe, it is durable, supportive, and at the same time flexible, contouring the body’s spinal shape to provide unsurpassed comfort. 

Normablock is an exclusive technology by Pikolin Spain. Great news for moms is that its unique total heat-tempered spring system guarantees proper elasticity, total resilience, and high durability. In addition, its distinctively design spring system provides the right comfort and greater body support in accordance to what every mother needs.

Comfort and support are the cornerstone of those precious bedroom moments. After all, moms provide comfort and support throughout their children’s lives. Moms can finally sleep more soundly at night, thanks to the technologically advanced design of the NormaBlock mattress by Dunlopillo. 

The Normablock comes in three designs: Catleya, Decora, and Lucia – differing in height, levels of support, and the added technology in each mattress. 

Goodnight, sleep tight

“I can become so moody and can’t concentrate during the day if I don’t sleep well,” adds Andi.  “I’d rather sacrifice going out at night if it means I can get a good sleep.  Since my husband is a club owner, many times if he asks me if I want to go out, if I’m in bed, I would rather stay home and sleep.”

And now that Olivia is around, Andi spends a lot of time with her and GP in bed. Andi shares that Olivia sleeps between the couple — and the little bundle of joy takes up so much space because she is at the stage where she moves a lot.

“I don’t like mattresses that are too hard,” laments Andi.  “This is where the Dunlopillo mattress is perfect. It’s like sleeping on clouds. It hugs every part of my body — I like that the mattress is soft, yet I know it is protecting my back.”  

“If you have a good bed, the memories made there are even better,” adds Jam. “I know that many good times are shared between kids and parents on a good bed, in the bedroom.” 

Not just for moms

A good bed that has one’s back is good for anyone at any age.  Andi knows this so well that she has included a Dunlopillo mattress on her gift list for Mom and Dad.

“If I could buy my mom this kind of bed so she could sleep longer and better, I would,” says Andi.  “All moms work so hard, they deserve to have a good sleep.”
