The Ultimate Mattress for Sleepovers | Uratex Blog

June is near but summer time isn’t over just yet! School-goers still have the chance to bond with their friends, and what better way to do that than through a sleepover or a slumber party. There’s nothing compared to the joy of being able to invade the house of a good friend, along with several others, just so that you’d joke around, watch movies, and certainly sleep for less than 8 hours. Ironically, that’s not enough sleep nor slumber for a sleepover or a slumber party.

No sleepover would be complete without a comfortable mattress like the Uratex Siesta Mattress

The Temptation to Sleep | Uratex Blog

When we hear the word “temptation”, our first reaction would always be “stay out of it.” Whether it be linked to an object, food, or an activity, the word temptation brings about a negative connotation. One thing that we’ve experienced numerous times is the temptation to sleep — tempted to sleep in class, tempted to sleep at work, tempted to sleep while in church — I’m sure we’ve all experienced this at some point in our lives.

It is so tempting to climb into bed and have a relaxing sleep like this adorable puppy

Camp Outdoors And Still Be Comfortable | Uratex Blog

My relatives and I went camping near a lake last weekend and it was a whole a lot of fun! We set out with tents around a rustic camping area and being surrounded by nothing but greenery and fresh air really helped me appreciate nature. What I’d truly like to highlight though, is how we spent the night – no television, no air condition, and certainly no beds.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle

Why You Need A Memory Topper | Uratex Blog

I know I’ve written for you several articles concerning memory foam especially the one I wrote about The Perfect Combination for mattresses. This time, I’ll introduce you to something called a mattress topper. It’s kind of a mat that you put over your not-so-comfortable mattress to augment its sleep-inducing properties. Imagine the not-so-comfortable mattress that you might have currently. Does it make it hard for you to sleep? Does it strain your back, making you wake up with back pain in the morning? You may not have the budget to go all out and buy a comfortable new mattress, but there’s a way to enhance your current mattress without sacrificing your sleep, health and budget.

 

Though not designed to replace the comfort and support of a new mattress, a mattress topper is an affordable alternative for your old mattress

Effects of Technology on Sleep | Uratex Blog

We can’t deny the fact that science and technology has affected and changed so many aspects of our life. You don’t have to go all the way back to the stone age to see the difference between before and today with the advent of technology. In fact, even if you just compare what happened today and 10 years ago, the difference is already very significant. It’s interesting to note that technology has also played a big role when it comes to sleep — with both positive and negative  consequences. Let’s take a look at both sides of the effects of technology on sleep.

Technology has certainly given us many things to think - and sleep - over.

Introducing the Futon Mattress | Uratex Blog

Have you ever heard of a futon mattress? If you haven’t, I’ll tell you all about it. If you already have, you could learn more about the many benefits it offers. A futon mattress is the kind of mattress traditional Japanese folks use. It’s not as thick and structurally firm as the mattress we grew up with. In fact, it sort of resembles a thick comforter that’s purposefully designed as a bed with no need of a bed frame, only a floor. The very clever thing about futons is that it’s very space-saving. You can use the space your bed occupies during the nighttime for something else during the daytime. That’s just one of the reasons why you should consider switching to a futon mattress.

Uratex Pillows: Shapes and Types | Uratex Blog

Pillows are one of the most essential factors for a comfortable sleep. While one pillow should be enough to provide a refreshing sleep, some people prefer to have more than one for various reasons. Personally, I prefer to have at least two pillows – one for the head and the other to hug when I go to sleep. With the various preferences that people want, Uratex has come up with different pillow types to match your preferences.

Uratex 'Gentle' head pillow and 'Yakap' body pillow offer superb support and comfort for a good night's sleep.

The Right Mattress Size For You | Uratex Blog

We’ve shown you many types of mattresses to fit your needs and lifestyle — from therapeutic, hypoallergenic, memory foam, and even a mattress with banig – but as we’ve also shared with you, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all mattress, so you have to decide on the right mattress size for you. You don’t want to end up in a mattress too big or too small, and just like Goldilocks, you should have one just the right size for you!

5 Tips to Having a Good Day's Sleep | Uratex Blog

The quality of your sleep will determine the quality of your waking hours.

Most companies operate 24 hours a day- be it fast food, coffee shops, restaurants, hospitals and call centers – this creates demand for employees who are willing to work the night shift. Indeed, most people prefer to work during the night because the pay is better, but it does take a toll on your body since your body clock gets messed up. One of the key challenges that you will surely face while working the graveyard shift is having to sleep during the day.

What Causes Nightmares? | Uratex Blog

I haven’t had nightmares for the longest time and I kind of miss having them. I know, it sounds like the weirdest thing, and I remember dreading going to sleep at night when I was a child because of these seemingly unavoidable bad dreams. But somehow, this longing for nightmares, or at least for some excitement in my sleep, prompted me to research on this common yet very vague subject.

Introducing the Uratex Mattress with Banig | Uratex Blog

Have you ever wanted to experience comfort and culture at the same time? Well if you’re from the Philippines, I’m sure you know what a banig is. A banig is a handwoven mat made of buri or dried palm tree leaves, usually used for sleeping and sitting. It has the advantage of being cool to the feel  as heat does not accumulate in the mat — very appropriate for a tropical country such as ours, especially during summertime.
