There’s a saying: spend good money on the things that separate you from the ground. Buying cheaper options usually result in more expensive repercussions down the road. In the case of mattresses, a poor quality one can result in you not sleeping well. Studies have shown that the cumulative long-term effects of poor sleep are associated with deleterious health consequences that include higher risk of obesity, depression, stroke, and more.
Dr. Richard Kissun is familiar with the effects of poor sleep. The founding director and principle doctor of chiropractic at Kissun Chiropractic regularly sees clients with physical ailments. “Headaches, neck and back pain, whiplash, scoliosis, sports injuries, and poor posture are some of the most common issues I see,” says Dr. Kissun.
While regular chiropractic adjustments help, he also recommends his patients to review their sleeping habits. This includes the mattress. “A good mattress helps by providing adequate support depending upon the size of the patient and accommodating for the natural curvatures of the spine.”
Dr Kissun’s supportive relationship with Tempur has lasted over a decade. He uses a Tempur Pro mattress at home. Crafted from a unique foam material, it purportedly relieves 20 percent more pressure across your body. “A good mattress helps by providing adequate support while accommodating the natural curvature of your spine.” You don’t have to take his word for it though. Tempur material is based on technology first developed by NASA scientists for use in space shuttles.
While the back support is renowned, Dr. Kissun is also a big fan of the brand’s pillows. “There are a multitude of pillow sizes to suit any person and situation,” he says. It might seem inconsequential, but your pillow size could be the reason for your sleep ailments. According to Dr. Kissun, waking up with neck pain is usually due to incorrect pillow selection.
