Sleeping-On-The-Floor

Is Sleeping On The Floor Bad For You?

What comes to mind when you’re asked to imagine a dream bed? After a long and exhausting day, we’re pretty sure you think about a comfy mattress, fluffy pillows, and a soft blanket to ease away the stress, just relax and enjoy your “me” time.

Well, here’s some news for you! 

There are a lot of conflicting claims that people make about sleeping on the floor. Some argue it helps with their back pain, while others claim the opposite. But up to date, there isn’t any scientific evidence to prove them.

There’s actually a reasonable reason why people think sleeping on the floor helps with their back pain. Sleeping on a soft mattress can actually lead to back pain since it allows your body to sink causing your spine to curve. Harvard Medical school advises placing plywood under your mattress, the institution also suggests putting your mattress on the floor. But not entirely ditching it altogether. 

The latter argument also has valid points. After all, it could be hard for your spine to maintain its natural curve because of the hard surface. Sleeping on the floor also exposes you to allergies since there are more dust and dirt in there! You are also exposing yourself to cold because the floor is cooler than the rest of the room (but you might be glad to do it during the summer).

Additionally, there are people who must not try sleeping on the floor such as seniors, people that are more prone to feeling cold, and people with limited mobility. So if you’re one of them, or maybe one of your loved ones is, try to explain why they should not try to do this.

If you’re not one of those mentioned above and would like to try sleeping on the floor, there’s actually a step by step guide on how to do it properly according to healthine.com

  • Find a space on the floor that’s free of clutter.
  • Place a blanket, mat, or sleeping bag on the floor. You can use multiple layers.
  • Add a thin pillow. It’s not recommended to stack pillows, which can strain your neck.
  • Lie down on the floor. Try lying on your back, on your side, and stomach. Experiment with different positions to see what feels best.
  • If you’re on your back or stomach, put your knees on a second pillow for extra support. You can also put a pillow under your lower back when lying on your back. If you’re on your side, place a pillow in between your knees.
  • Give yourself time to get used to the floor. Instead of diving into a full night, try a short nap first. Another option is to set your alarm for 2 or 3 hours, then return to bed. Over time, you can increase how long you sleep on the floor.

To help you decide what’s ideal for you, there are actually other factors affecting back pain and should not be blamed on the soft mattress alone. It could be on your medical record or just your posture.

In an article published in the journal Sleep Health last 2015, the researchers concluded that medium-firm mattresses are best for lessening back pain while sleeping. 

So, what you do with your mattress is subjective to everyone. We hope this article helps you in contemplating about it. Get a good night’s sleep and to wake up back-pain free!

Putting-Mattress-On-The-Floor

Pros & Cons Of Putting Mattress On The Floor

Mattresses are usually used with a box spring or a bed frame. Having said that, it’s not a requirement to use them that way. There are many reasons for this, some being economical and others for space-saving purposes. What is the best way to use your mattress to have the best sleep experience? Here we will be breaking down the pros and cons of sleeping on the floor.

Pro: Lessens back pain

The nature of the floor being firm, it is naturally good support for you and your mattress when you sleep. The floor is flat and even prevents any sinking which may be the case for some bed frames over time. This helps in keeping your overall posture and head and spine in good shape.

Pro: Requires less space

Bed frames are usually larger than the mattress, depending on their design and style. For those cramped in extra space in their rooms, getting the extra space is always useful. You can put it in areas where otherwise a bed frame would not usually fit.  Putting your mattress on the floor can make it seem like your room is larger. It is taking up less vertical height.

Pro: Saves more money

Sleeping on the floor means you forego the expense of buying a bed frame. Bed frames can vary in price depending on the make and quality that you are looking for. For those on a tighter budget, this can save you a lot of money that you can spend elsewhere. The money you save here can be used for a quality and comfortable mattress so you do not compromise your night’s sleep.

Con: Exposure to dust and dust mites

Sleeping closer to the ground means you are more exposed to the dust that collects on the ground. If your floor is not cleaned regularly, these fragments can cause an allergic reaction and other respiratory complications, compromising your health. Another thing to look out for is bed bugs or dust mites which are drawn to heat and moisture. This gives them easier access to where you sleep.

Con: Uncomfortable experience

If you have chronic pain or arthritis, it can be more difficult for you to use a bed that is down low on the floor as compared to sleeping on a bed frame where you can easily get yourself up. Side sleepers may also face an issue as the firm nature of the floor would not let the mattress contour to their body, putting added pressure on the shoulders and hips.

Con: Buildup of mold

One of the reasons box springs or bed frames work is that they keep your mattress dry and let air flow through. Being directly on the floor affects the ventilation of the mattress which can affect your sleep experience and keep you hot instead of cool. The buildup of the moisture from both the oils and sweat in the mattress can be a cause of mold growth. This is best avoided as it not just emits a foul odor but also helps trigger allergic reactions.

The Verdict

Given all these pros and cons, your lifestyle and sleeping habits would really be the determinant of what works for you. It is fine to keep your mattress on the floor just as long as you are doing regular maintenance to ensure that your sleeping area is clean and that you maintain the mattress and prevent it from wear.

The sole determinant of your sleeping comfort does not only rely on whether you sleep on the floor or not. The right mattress can make or break your sleep experience because of the material and quality that they have. Ensure that whether you sleep on the floor or not, you are getting the best comfort with ComfortLiving PH’s single bed foam.

Getting-A-Single-Premium-Memory-Mattress

Why You Should Consider Getting A Single Premium Memory Mattress

We Filipinos are synonymous with being hardworking where every day is a battlefield of striving hard to be successful, or just to meet our basic needs – whether through braving the heavy traffic to get to work or by hustling just as hard while at home.

After a long day at work, it’s understandable to seek comfort in sleep. After all, quality sleep is an essential part of our health. How exactly can one achieve quality sleep without breaking the bank? You’re in luck because we’ll take to these reasons by starting with a convenient and comfortable Single Premium Memory Mattress.

Here are five reasons why you should get a Single Premium Memory Mattress:

It helps maximize limited space

For someone who lives in a small space, having a big mattress takes so much of the space that makes your home a little bit stuffed. It is imperative that you make the most out of every nook and cranny of your home by getting things that either save space or work double duty. A single premium memory mattress provides not only comfort for every sleep. It is also convenient as you can move it easily to free up space.

It’s provides quality and comfort

This dual-layer, medium-firm-feeling premium mattress features a top layer of gel memory foam for pressure-relieving comfort and a high-density foam base that offers plenty of support. A 1-3-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam works throughout the night to correctly align your spine, improving your posture and preventing lower back pain. Additionally, memory foams quickly conform to your body weight and position.

It’s for every type of sleeper

The memory foam layer is infused with gel material that captures and distributes heat to prevent overheating. A ventilated design improves airflow for a more comfortable sleep climate. At the surface, a soft blend cover provides a breathable air layer. The cover fabric is 100% Machine washable.

We use Gel Memory Foam

Infused with heat-capturing gel material, the top memory foam layer is a great item to prevent heat build-up. Microscopic gel beads capture heat and move it away from the body to help regulate temperature as you sleep. This surface layer of memory foam has a ventilated design that improves airflow. The open cell structure of Comfort Living PH memory foam makes for a longer-lasting, more resilient foam that will not leave long-lasting body impressions.

Made affordable to everyone for a long run

Our products are vacuum packed, so that it can be easily transported and set up. After your mattress arrives, simply take the package into the right room, remove it from the box and protective wrap, and then watch as it expands. We offer a 5-Year Warranty that protects the mattress and covers against manufacturer defects.

Sleep is highly needed specially in times of uncertainty. It keeps us sane and refreshed for the next day’s hustle. That’s why choosing the right mattress takes to the most comfortable sleep in all forms. And what better way to own one is by getting it from Comfort Living PH.

Avoid-Snoring-With-These-Helpful-Tips

Avoid Snoring With These Helpful Tips

Snoring affects about half of our population. Up to half of the adults snore at some time. There are a lot of habitual snorers who keep us awake almost every night by their snoring. It’s no surprise that snoring affects 1 in 2 people at some point in their lives.

Do you have a loved one that snores at night and prevents you from having a good night’s sleep? Or are you a nuisance to your partners and friends with how much you snore? If you have ever woken up in the morning tired, cranky, and not having enough rest. Snoring might be the cause.

Check out these helpful natural snoring remedies to keep snoring to a minimum and get the most out of a restful night’s sleep:


  1.   Get Physical and Lose some weight.

If you want to reduce the amount of tissue in your throat that might be causing your snoring, you should try to lose weight. Most people who are overweight are up to two times more likely to snore. You may also check out our 5 diet tips for better sleep, therefore eating healthy and getting regular exercise daily can help keep you from snoring all night.


  1.   Change your Sleep Position.

Snoring often occurs when you are lying on your back when you sleep as it makes the base of your tongue and soft palate collapse to the back wall of your throat, causing a vibrating sound during sleep. Sleeping on your side or stomach may help prevent this.

Many sleep experts also recommend sleeping with a body pillow for added support so that you are more comfortably inclined to stay sleeping on your side. You may also opt to see other adjustable bed frames that can lift your head. Elevating the head of your bed by four inches may help reduce your snoring by keeping your airways open.


  1.   Limit / Avoid Drinking Alcohol before bed.

Alcohol reduces the resting tone of your muscles and causes you to snore. Try to limit or avoid alcohol 4 – 5 hours before your bedtime. A glass of wine or bourbon can be more quiet and relaxing. However, snoring occurs when your throat and lounge are relaxed.


  1.   Stay Well Hydrated.

Always drink plenty of fluids. We all know the positive benefits of drinking water and staying hydrated is always a good idea for a good night’s sleep. The secretions in your nose and soft palate become stickier when you’re dehydrated and it leads to mucus forming in your nose which could make you snore.


  1.   Change your Pillows.

The National Sleep Foundation tells us to plan on replacing pillows every year or two. It’s important to put your pillows in the air fluff cycle regularly to keep dust mites and allergens to a minimum. Allergens in your bedroom and in your pillow may contribute to snoring.

When did you last dust off your pillow? When was the last time you replaced your pillows? Having a clean and new pillow can prevent your snoring and may work well to fix your nasal issues.

Snoring can disrupt your sleep and that of your partner. It is annoying and it may also indicate a serious health condition. Follow these simple tips and have a snore-free night!

Common-Mattress-Myths

Busting Common Mattress Myths

Most people used a mattress most often compared to other furniture, the reason why finding the right one is not an easy task. With the seemingly never-ending amount of information out there to sort through, you also have to distinguish facts from fiction.

Here are some busting common mattress myths.

 

The more firm the better

Conventional wisdom has taught us that a firmer mattress means ideal back support. One the contrary, according to  new study, it shows that medium to medium-firm may be better as they tend to support your body better. Don’t forget, your spine will naturally take on an ‘S’ shape as you grow. When choosing a mattress, make sure that it is firm enough to support your entire body.

 

Washing your sheets regularly will keep your mattress clean

Washing your sheets alone will not protect your mattress from dust mites and other allergens. All mattresses will get dust mites, which feed on dead skin cells. The solution to avoid these dust mites from calling your mattress home is to use a mattress protector and wash it regularly with your sheets.

 

Mattresses need to be regularly flipped to keep their shape

This might have been the case many years ago, but mattress technology is now more innovative since then. Modern mattresses are designed better, and shouldn’t start to sag for many years, regardless of which side you sleep on. Most mattresses only have one usable side these days, so flipping them over will only leave you a hassle. However, rotating your mattress is not a bad idea, especially if you share your bed with someone. Flipping your mattress from time to time can help it wear more evenly, and keep you from having a good night’s sleep.

 

When it comes to the mattress, it is very essential to consider your sleeping needs, because your mattress is a long-time investment. The best match for you will offer support and comfort for you to achieve a good night’s sleep. ComfortLiving offers a variety of mattresses for each sleeping needs.

Wash-Your-Pillows-Properly

How To Wash Your Pillows Properly

We are all in the habit of regularly washing our sheets and pillowcases but, we don’t give as much attention to what lies beneath which is your pillows. Yes, you should wash your pillow itself. Most people assume that washing a pillow isn’t necessary and you’ll only ruin it, but most pillows are really designed to be washed at least every three months.

Not only do pillows collect dust, but bacteria as well. Dirt, oil and, dead skin cells get trapped there, which may lead to acne. Dust mites, which belong to the spider family, also like to hang out in the crevices of your pillow. Removing these germs and odors is as simple as washing your pillows.

Every pillow requires specific methods of washing them, which we’ll cover below.

FIBERFILL PILLOW / BODY PILLOW

You may wash your down and fiberfill using your front & top loading machines easily! If you’re using a top-loading machine, make sure to insert the pillows vertically so it won’t be damaged by the alligator. Washing 2 pillows at the same time are preferable, as it will balance the load.

Washing pillows only need a small amount of mild powder or liquid detergent that should launder down, on warm and delicate. Using liquid detergent is alright as long as it is well rinsed out without leaving a sticky residue. Once washed, you may use the dryer and set pillows in the sun for a few hours afterward fluff the pillow to help keep pillows plump.

Memory foam is resistant to dust mites and is naturally antimicrobial but still requires cleaning. Pillow types of this kind can’t be machine washed as the agitation can cause the foam to break apart, ruining the pillow. Nonetheless, you can still clean them following these instructions:

  1. Fill up a tub with warm water and a small amount of detergent.
  2. Submerge the pillow under the soapy water and gently squeeze it to allow the detergent to penetrate beneath the surface. Repeat twice.
  3. Drain the soapy water and refill with clean water. Squeeze the pillow several times and make sure that you wash any remaining dirt and soap until the water runs clear.
  4. Squeeze the excess water out of the pillow gently.
  5. Leave to air dry in direct sunlight.
  6. For a better and fresher pillow, try to sprinkle your pillow with a drop of lavender or any desired scented oil.

MEMORY ORTHOPEDIC PILLOW

This pillow is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to allergens such as mold, dust mites, and other bacteria. White memory orthopedic can’t be machine washed but. Nonetheless, you can still keep it spot clean as you remove stain and smell with warm water and detergent.

  1. Remove all of the covers
  2. Gently rub the sponge to the spot you want to be clean. Additionally, if there is a stain you may apply 3% hydrogen peroxide directly to the stain, blot with a clean cloth until it stops bubbling. Spray with water and gently rub until clean with an old toothbrush.
