You spend 8 hours a night sleeping; that's 2,688 hours per year spent in bed! Your physical, mental and emotional performances are all directly correlated to the quality of sleep you're getting so we have teamed up with organic bedding specialist 4 Living to offer two readers a memory foam pillow.
“The quality of your mattress and pillow drastically impacts the quality of your day to day activities,” says Roger van der Matten, of 4living.co.uk. “So it’s very important to have the best mattress and support pillow possible for your overall wellbeing. Good health requires healthy sleep, and that’s exactly what 4 Living’s natural memory foam mattresses and support pillows provide.”
Globally, physicians, chiropractors, and physiotherapists recommend a memory foam bed and pillow for their patients due its elastic ability to conform to our individual body curves and relieve pressure points.
Until now, memory foam mattresses still had a few major drawbacks though. They are made using petro-chemical synthetic visco foam, toxic glues and fire retardant sprays. In addition the synthetic foam traps body heat making it hot and uncomfortable and thirdly many people complain regular memory foam is difficult to move on. Luckily 4 Living’s Essentia natural memory foam mattresses and pillows addresses these main problems with regular memory foam developing ultra comfortable and supportive mattresses and pillows made from unique all natural memory foam.
We have two classic natural memory foam pillows to give away. For your chance to win, send an email to us with your name, address and answer to the following question: What is the memory foam made from? Answer at 4living.co.uk/greenparent.
To find out whether you need a new mattress, ask yourself these questions:
Do you:
• have a worse night’s sleep than you did a year ago?
• wake up with stiffness and body aches?
• find your mattress sags, has lumps or is worn out?
• have a 6-8 year old mattress? (the life of a mattress depends on its usage and material quality; generally manufacturers and chiropractors recommend replacing your mattress every 6 to 8 years).
