How Old Mattresses Can Affect Your Allergies

Do you wake up feeling as if you haven’t slept? Do you often have congestion and a sore throat in the morning? Your pet and pollen may not be to blame; the problem may actually be your mattress. If your mattress is old, chances are it is filled with dust mites that can trigger allergies and cause a long list of other complications. A mattress that is 10 years old or older may be filled with dead dust mites that add up to weigh twice as much as the mattress itself. Here are some signs that dust mites in your mattress are affecting your health:

Dust Mite Symptoms

• If your old mattress has a dust mite problem, you’re likely to experience a number of different symptoms that are most intense when you wake up in the morning. Red, watery, itchy eyes and a runny nose are common, as are skin rashes and itching. Many people also develop sore throats, hoarse voices, a chronic cough, and breathing problems. If you have asthma, your breathing problems may be more severe. Approximately 200,000 asthmatics visit the emergency room every year because of dust-mite related asthma attacks.

Minimizing Mattress-Related Allergy Problems

• The first step to reducing dust mites and allergies is to replace your old mattress. Once you have a new mattress, invest in a plastic or vinyl mattress cover to keep allergens in check. Plastic and vinyl can be cleaned more easily than fabric covers. Clean your mattress at the start of every spring and wash your sheets weekly in hot water. An electric blanket will reduce the amount of moisture on your mattress, which will also help discourage dust mites.

Don’t let an old mattress compromise your health. A new mattress is more affordable than you think. The Bedroom Store in St. Louis offers a wide selection of mattresses, including Serta, Tempurpedic, and memory foam mattresses.

Questions to Ask When Making a Mattress Purchase

Buying a mattress is a major decision. It involves a ten-year commitment to something you’re going to use every night, and your mattress can make or break your ability to get the rest you need. When you go mattress shopping, it’s important to try out your options and ask the right questions before you buy. As you hunt down your dream mattress, be sure to ask the sales person these questions:

What Are the Measurements?

• Though mattresses come in recognizable sizes like king, queen, full, and twin, the exact measurements can vary dramatically from brand to brand. Don’t assume that any queen-size mattress is going to automatically fit your queen-size bed frame. Have your frame measurements with you when you go shopping and select a mattress that is as close to a match as possible. Even if you can make a mattress fit into your frame doesn’t mean that you should. Size mismatches make it difficult to make your bed and get in and out with ease.

What Materials Does This Mattress Contain?

• If you’re an allergy sufferer, be sure to select a mattress with hypoallergenic materials. Some mattresses contain a high level of chemicals or materials that could exacerbate your allergy issues. Ask for recommendations of beds that are good for allergy sufferers, including organic mattresses, so you can breathe easily throughout the night.

What Is the Return Policy?

• You should never buy a mattress without testing it out in the store first. Some stores even recommend that you bring your own pillow to get a real feel for what the bed is like. However, there’s no substitute for actually spending a night on a mattress. Find out how long you have to change your mind after you bring the mattress home.

The Advantages of Buying a Memory Foam Pillow

When you lay your head down on your pillow at night, do you sink into a cozy dreamland, or start dreading the neck ache you know you’ll have in the morning? If your pillow isn’t giving you the comfort and support you need, it could be time to upgrade to a memory foam pillow. These pillows conform to your head and weight so you get the best rest possible. If you’re thinking of buying a memory foam pillow, these benefits could help you make up your mind:

Sleep Apnea Reduction

• If you suffer from sleep apnea, you could be waking hundreds of times every night. Sleep apnea occurs when your airways are blocked, and a regular pillow may contribute to that blockage. If you sleep with a memory foam pillow, your head will be in line with your spine and the pillow will mold to your neck. When your head isn’t tilted, you’ll be able to breathe more freely.

Spinal Alignment

• With regular pillows, your spine can become unnaturally curved while you sleep. That is because the pillow forces your cervical spine to bend upwards, and the thicker your pillow, the more dramatic that bend is. Many people who suffer chronic neck and back problems can trace their issues to their sleeping position. Memory foam pillows allow your head and neck to sink into the pillow so that the natural line of your spine is maintained. When you rest your head on a memory foam pillow, you can expect less morning neck and back soreness.

Pressure Point Relief

• One of the reasons people love memory foam mattresses is because of the even support they give to the body. You get those same benefits from a memory foam pillow. Your entire head and neck will be supported equally, so you won’t wake with numb areas from uneven amounts of pressure.
