Therapeutic Mattress: The Uratex Orthocare Mattress | Uratex Blog

Air bed manufacturers would always say that foam beds will never provide the same level of medical benefits as their beds could provide.

Also called the “therapeutic” mattress, the Uratex Orthocare Mattress is the pain-relieving, hospital-quality mattress.

How to Stop Snoring | Uratex Blog

Believe it or not, everyone snores. It just happens that some snores are more noticeable, some are more annoying, and others are just completely unbearable. There have been a lot of studies about snoring already and people have categorized the factors into two general categories — internal and external factors. Internal factors are caused by the person’s body — usually with one’s health. External factors are caused by the sleeping environment — usually the bed that one sleeps in. Regardless of what is causing someone to snore at a more annoying level than others, here are some general tips to help people with snoring problems.

Snoring affects not only your sleep, but also the people around you.

Should You Exercise Before You Sleep? | Uratex Blog

There’s some debate going on regarding exercising before sleeping. Some people are saying that there are studies that indicate exercising before sleeping poses a bigger risk of insomnia. Others are saying that there are studies indicating that there is no significant correlation between exercising before sleeping and insomnia caused by prior exercise. Both are claiming that they have studies to back up their stand. So, who has the correct study?

Some people opt to do their daily exercise in the evening due to lack of time in the morning or for other reasons of their own. Try out different exercise types and duration to see if exercising at night works for you.

Prolong Your Bed's Lifespan | Uratex Blog

Jumping on your bed is fun. Admit it!

Remember those times when you were a kid, having a great time jumping up and down on your bed like there was no tomorrow, then your mom walks in your room with eyes that strongly suggested she was not in agreement at all with what you were doing? Then she says to you, “Stop jumping on your bed!” Remember that? Well I do. And it turns out, she just wasn’t concerned about your safety. It’s also to prolong your bed’s lifespan – providing for more nights when you dream your way into the wonderful land we call sleep.

How to Fight Insomnia | Uratex Blog

Insomnia has severe implications on your health, emotional well-being, and it might even affect your work or studies. You might not be able to get back those Zzzzs overnight, but go on and take the first steps in conquering insomnia.

The New Generation of Sleeping Time | Uratex Blog

Things change so fast over the years that people have began to adjust their lifestyle because of these changes. A few years ago, it’s not fashionable to walk around with earphones on your ear. Today, it’s an accepted lifestyle to wear earphones all the time while carrying an iPod with you. A few years ago, the idea of carrying a computer around on your back seems like an absurd idea. Now, a lot of people carry laptops around wherever they go. A few years back, work hours should be around 8am to 5pm only. Today, people work in different kinds of shifts — some from 8am to 5pm, others from 8pm to 5am, and so on.

Get the Most Out of Your Mattress | Uratex Blog

I recently had lunch with an old friend and she shared to me how particular she was about keeping her bed clean. My friend and her husband made a rule that neither of them were to sit or touch or get into their bed, unless they were showered and wore clean clothes or pajamas. I reacted and immediately asked, “But what if you don’t take a shower in the evenings!?” and the other girls around the table nodded their heads. I’m actually laughing as I’m writing this, because as my friends and I have grown into the early 30s age category and many are now starting their own families and becoming homeowners, we’ve gravitated towards such kind of topics when we get together.

Invest in a durable and comfy mattress that will give you restful sleep, night after night!

All the same, I took heed of her rule. Keeping your bed clean is a great way to protect your bed mattress and preserve it for long-term use.

How Often Should I Change My Bed Sheets? | Uratex Blog

There’s no magic number on how often you should change your bed sheets. But one thing’s for sure: a dirty sheet is a bacteria minefield.

Think of sweat, drool and (horror of horrors!) urine. Yes, accidents do happen at night, especially with children. Imagine sleeping on a bed that’s literally a breeding ground for germs and dust mites. Not a pretty picture, isn’t it? So, it’s good to change bed sheets even just once a week if you sleep in your pajamas. More so, if you don’t. :)

It may seem like such a chore, but make it a weekly habit to change your bed sheets for a healthier, more restful sleep.
