Secrets to being really good in bed

MANILA, Philippines –  Getting the right amount of sleep is one of the cornerstones of wellness, allowing you to re-energize your mind and body and become more productive, mentally sharp, emotionally balanced, and full of energy all day long. But aside from the recommended number of eight hours of slumber every day, it is also critical for that period of rest to be a comfortable experience. In these modern times when irregular working hours have become quite common, anyone who needs to sleep anytime of the day should be getting sufficient rest in utter comfort.  

There are many factors to consider for acquiring deep, restorative sleep, most essential of which is the type of bedding and mattress that you use. Simmons, the world’s leading expert in premium bedding and mattress manufacturing, provides the following tips on how to achieve better quality sleep:

• Pick the right mattress. 

Transform a boring, basic bedroom into a pleasurable sleeping haven by investing on a well-built mattress that answers your needs. When choosing a mattress, always consider your height and weight in order to get the best model designed for your body type.  You should have enough room to stretch and turn comfortably, even with a bedmate present. For this requirement, it is advisable to personally test various mattress models by lying down on the bed for a few minutes while reenacting your most common sleeping positions.

At any Simmons Gallery, clients are provided sound advice by properly trained sales consultants who will personally explain the key features and benefits of various Simmons mattresses. Among the popular Simmons variants is the Beautyrest Next-Generation or NxG Series, which offers the Advanced Memory Foam for heat dissipation, quicker recovery, and consistent comfort, resulting in blissful, undisturbed sleep night after night. Just like other Simmons variants, the NxG features the legendary and unique Simmons pocketed coil system made of individually Duon-wrapped, pre-compressed barrel shaped coil springs that guarantee unmatched standards in terms of comfort and support.

• Know your mattress’s features and benefits.

Both minimal and oversleeping can take toll on your physical, mental, and emotional abilities, including stress management. To enhance one’s sleeping, it is also important to consider each mattress’ distinct features and how these will provide the right combination of support, conformability and plushness. For example, the Simmons NxG offers an Advanced Memory Foam technology that not only responds quickly to your movements, but also helps dissipate heat to help keep you at your ideal sleeping temperature. The right type of mattress is also important for those with certain conditions like back ache. If you often wake up with a sore back or an aching neck, you may need to invest in a new mattress or a try a different pillow. The key to this is experimenting with different levels of mattress firmness, and even pillows that provide more support.

• Create a serene bedroom environment.

Choose the mattress that has the most value-for-money maximum usability, comfort and support features to ensure that you get the right quality and quantity of sleep that you need. Keep in mind that the mattress you are buying will last you for at least 10 years and that you will spend more time on it than any other piece of furniture in your home. Simmons Beautyrest NxG is among the brand’s most deluxe mattress models, which celebrate the best luxurious sleeping comfort experience on top of elegant styling. It even presents an additional Evenloft mattress top layer that creates a smooth surface, allowing you to better feel the comfort layers and support.

Also, avoid associating your bed with other activities apart from sleep, such as work or eating. Lying on your bed will thus remind your body that it’s time to wind down.

• Follow your sleep rhythm. 

Coping with a fast-paced and stressful lifestyle means more attention should be placed on getting enough sleep. You may have the perfect mattress, but if you stick to bad lifestyle habits, then chances are you won’t be able to enjoy the restful benefits of sleep. Experts say that everyone should set a regular sleep schedule to get back in sync with your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, referred to as your circadian rhythm. This means setting a regular bedtime and wake-up time. Following this body rhythm results to feeling much more refreshed and energized than sleeping the same number of hours but at different times. 

• Put your trust on a credible brand.

Considering how much or how little time is spent on sleeping, a comfortable, not to mention durable, mattress is one investment that is worth one’s time and money. Don’t settle for any brand that promises affordability yet take minimal consideration for comfort and beneficial features. A warranty is only given to a product when it is purchased from Simmons Gallery or a reputable retailer or an authorized dealer.

Simmons is exclusively distributed in the country by Bedscape Corp.   There are now three Simmons galleries in Manila: at EDSA Shangri-La Mall, Mandaluyong City, SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City, and at the Powerplant Mall in Rockwell, Makati City. Aside from the mattresses, Simmons galleries also have bedding accessories such as Simmons mattress protectors and NeckCare pillows (pillows that come with 60 mini coils inside), and the Fjords recliners from Norway.
