In our industrialized world, many people who work in the office do not sleep well. They face too much stress at work, and this bleeds over into their private lives. The need to show more productivity at work also causes them to lose the personal time they need for a balanced life. They do not have enough chances to exercise and de-stress themselves, both of which are important towards getting a good night’s sleep.
In theory, all we need to ensure a pleasant sleep is to get enough sunlight and exercise in the day and to relax at night. In practice … I don’t need to tell you how difficult that is, do I? So what is the alternative? Buy a memory foam mattress pad. Actually, any comfortable bed will do. The bed or mattress must support your spine while absorbing all the force caused by gravity on your body. The best at doing this are water beds, air beds and memory foam mattresses.
Unfortunately, these are all expensive (at least the good ones are). Hence the alternative of the cheaper and more affordable memory foam toppers. Toppers are actually just thinner mattresses. All you need to do is lay your memory foam topper on top of your regular mattress and then sleep on it.
Once you lie down on a memory foam mattress pad, you will find your body relaxing as the strain caused by your muscles fighting gravity is absorbed. This is, after all, why NASA invented this material in the first place – to absorb the tremendous G-forces when a pilot ejects from a fighter jet. After all, they couldn’t very well install a water bed inside a jet plane, could they?
Memory foam topper pads come in different thicknesses, ranging from 1 inch to 6 inches (sometimes more). The thicker ones are better, but more expensive. You’ll have to balance your comfort against the cost. Just keep in mind that a sufficiently thick topper is no different from a mattress regardless of what the salesman says.
While memory foam toppers will not replace exercise or sunlight, it can help you to rapidly relax all the way into sleep. Just be careful that what you are getting is real memory foam and not just regular foam mattress pad. The Tempur and Serta brands are known to use real memory foam. Other brands are less reliable. Definitely avoid the “made in China” brands – the technology to make this material is very complicated and quite touchy – well beyond the ability of the cheap Chinese factories.
