How Does A Bad Bed Really Affect You
Too many people sleep on the wrong thing. Old mattresses, worn-out mattresses and low quality mattresses steal quality sleep from millions of people each and every year. How do these awful beds really affect you?
1. Aches and Pains. If you wake up in the morning with aches and pains, your mattress is probably the culprit. Metal coils contained in innerspring mattresses create pressure points and can cause some serious aches and pains.
2. Poor circulation. Bad beds cause pressure points. These pressure points inhibit blood from circulating throughout your body properly. Decrease levels of blood flow can cause serious health problems. These problems include, but are not limited to,: lethargy, decreased memory, lack of mental clarity, increased blood pressure and cholesterol, numbness in the body’s extremities, sudden weight loss, cramps and much more.
3. Low Productivity. Research has shown that individuals who do not receive a proper night’s rest are less productive than those who do receive a good night’s rest. Just think about how much productivity you lose because you wake up feeling sluggish and unproductive.
4. Low Oxygen Flow. Oxygen is one of the most important components of the human body. Oxygen is especially important during sleep. Pressure points created by insufficient mattresses inhibit oxygen flow. Many of the body’s systems are severely affected. In fact, none of the systems of the body can function properly when oxygen is restricted. The brain, heart, kidneys, liver and more are affected and potentially damaged with a lack of oxygen.
There is no sense in dealing with these issues caused by bad beds. A latex mattress topper can eliminate all of these dilemmas and can change the way you sleep and the way you function. Try a latex bed for an rv mattress and discover the difference for yourself.
The Dunlop Latex Process Explained
The dunlop latex process is the traditional method of manufacturing latex. This process has been used since 1929. It is more time-consuming and uses much less automated technology than the talalay process. The dunlop method has not been used as extensively since the talalay method was created and perfected. However, in recent years, the dunlop method has seen its fair share of revamping in order to stay competitive with the talalay process.
First and foremost, natural latex is exacted from rubber trees. Liquid latex is poured into traditional molds, just as with the talalay process. The dunlop process does not use a vacuum to extract air particles from the product. In fact, air is not removed at all from the material. Instead, the latex is filled to the rim of the mold. Thus, the dunlop process automatically produces a heavier latex than the talalay method. Gravity forces the particles to settle in the bottom of the material. Therefore, dunlop latex is also more dense. The second major difference between the talalay process and the dunlop process is that the latex is not frozen in the dunlop process.
Talalay latex comes in a wider range of firmness than the dunlop process. This is because talalay uses technology to produce the latex. There is more room for product variation with the talalay method. However, the dunlop method produces a less-expensive product. Because the dunlop method does not involve the use of expensive machinery, it is able to be offered at a lower cost.
The dunlop process is also considered to be slightly more natural than the talalay process – resulting in a 100% natural latex topper. Synthetic latex liquids are not used as often with the dunlop process. However, it is extremely common for the talalay process to use a significant amount of synthetic latex liquids.
Both methods create a fantastic quality latex mattress. The dunlop method is more dense and more solid because air is not removed from the material during manufacturing. The talalay method produces a more airy product that is more expensive. Both create long-lasting resilient latex mattresses and are fantastic in everything from home to your rv beds.
Imagine The Perfect Bed
Imagine sleeping on a cloud. Imagine falling into a deep sleep every time you lie down. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed and energized. Imagine being more productive throughout the day. Imagine the perfect bed.
You don’t have to imagine the perfect bed anymore. The perfect bed is out there and it is within your grasp. It is a latex mattress.
A latex mattress provides it owner with exceptional comfort and support-the kind of comfort and support that can only come from a latex bed. There are two kinds of latex mattresses. In order to make sure that you choose the right type, let’s take a look at each kind.
The Dunlop latex mattress has been around for some time. The process used to create Dunlop mattresses has actually been around since 1929. This process is traditional and sure. Liquid latex is poured into a mold and then cured. The curing process allows the particles of the latex to settle to the bottom of the mattress core. Thus, Dunlop mattresses are firm and dense.
Talalay mattresses use technology to create soft and more airy latex mattresses. The extravagant process involves six steps. Like the Dunlop process, liquid latex is poured into a mold. However, a smaller amount of latex is used. A vacuum is used in conjunction with the mold to whip the liquid latex. This allows air into the product which creates a softer and more airy core.
Both the Dunlop and the Talalay mattresses offer superior quality, comfort and support. The level of these qualities has been unprecedented with innerspring, water and memory foam mattresses.
You don’t have to imagine the perfect bed anymore. You can make that imagination a reality. Choose between a Dunlop or a Talalay custom mattress, depending on your individual preferences. It’s time to bring that imagination to life.
