We offer you a selection of the best deals to make an informed decision gN Focus Report Your mattress may be the key to a good night’s rest There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing a mattress PAN LUXE ViSCO GEL 29cm (120x200) - White Price:Dh1,250 PAN Home stores By Karishma Nandkeolyar Special to GN Focus W Sleep Foundation puts the number of people in America suffering from sleep disorders — con- ditions that affect quality of sleep — between 50 million and 70 million. And in the UAE, insomnia — an umbrella term that refers to when people have trouble falling asleep, stay- ing asleep, or getting good quality sleep -af- fects about 30 per cent of the population, say experts. One element that can alleviate con- cerns and help sleepers is taking a hard look at whether the mattress and linen they are using is right for them. gN ARChIVES hile we’ve all noticed the ben- efits of a good night’s sleep, for some, this rest doesn’t come easy. In fact, US-based REGALiA - ViSCO GEL MATTRESS 31cm (90x200) - White Price: Dh1,395 PAN Home stores dead skin cells will build up over time, which is the perfect environment for dust mites to thrive. These bugs have been shown to pro- mote a plethora of complaints, from rashes to asthma attacks,” says Dr Sandeep Pargi, Specialist Pulmonologist at UAE-based Prime Medical Centre. What this essentially means is old mattresess should be replaced with new ones in timely fashion. Sleep Foundation, for instance states that under normal conditions, a mattress should be changed every six to eight years. And there are a few points to look out for when picking up a new one - accounting for sleeping habits, for one. A person who sleeps on their side will have different needs than one who sleeps on their back, for instance. What works for one person may not work for another. “People have diverse sleeping habits, and these habits necessi- tate different mattress and pillow types,” says Bhatnagar of Zero- G Beds & Mattresses. “You’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper, and finding the right mattress and pillow that aligns with your body’s unique needs is essential. Tailoring your sleep essentials to your specific position ensures the ultimate sleep comfort.” Experts meanwhile opine that on average an adult needs seven or more hours of sleep for opti- mum health. And creating an ideal sleep environment is key to good naps. “Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in quality bedding and pillows that suit your preferred sleeping posi- tion,” says Bhatnagar. ■ HUNGARiAN GOOSE FEATHER & DOWN PiLLOW BY ViSPRiNG Price: Dh1,000 The Mattress Store Ensuring good sleep Praveen Bhatnagar, CEO, Zero- G Beds & Mattresses, Vanity kart General Trading, explains: “Your choice of mattress can either make or break your sleep experience. The right mattress will align your spine, relieve pressure points, and offer tailored support to match your body type and sleeping pref- erences.” Dr Manisha Gupta, GP with Prime Medical Centre, Al- Barari branch, concurs. She says: “An unsuitable mattress can cause discomfort, night awakenings, back pain if the mattress is very hard and headaches due to inad- equate sleep and fatigue.” And the right pillow, she explains, helps in healthy spinal alignment during sleep, preventing neck pain, shoul- der pain and neck stiffness. Time for change? Old mattresses can also cause other, more serious, problems. “Old mattresses cause allergy problems: The older a mattress gets, the more likely it is to cause allergy issues.

What was comfortable and supportive for you when you were 20 may not be the same when you are 30. Since our bod- ies change, our mattresses may need to change accordingly.” Continued from Page 1 Superior mattress technologies are also making inroads into the UAE, launching customers on a journey of discovery while promising a good night’s sleep. The Mat- tress Store has been on the cutting edge in providing mattresses that front the latest in tech advances. Shaffi says, “The Englander Supreme collection is a state- of-the-art product that incorporates sev- eral comfort features, and its edge-to-edge technology eliminates a roll-off feeling and gives a consistent sleep surface across the entire mattress.”■ Medical conditions. Regular mattresses have advantages, such as a wide range of options to accommodate various sleep preferences and budgets. Therefore, while these mat- tresses offer specificbenefits, choosing them over regular mattresses in all situations doesn’t necessarily make sense.
