How a New Mattress Could Improve Academic Performance

Whether you are a parent raising a student or a student yourself, it is likely you are willing to do many things to improve your grades.   Various study habits and even strict diets and schedules are used by students every year in an effort to maximize performance.  Few realize that a new mattress could make a real difference in academic success.   Of course this improvement is likely not a direct result of the new mattress as much as a direct result of the improved sleep that the right mattress provides.  Therefore, it is important to choose the right kind of mattress to best solve the specific, individual sleep problems of each student.

Adjustable Mattress

These are ideal for many types of sleep issues.  It is most successful with students in solving drainage issues at night.  Allergies, illness, and general sinus issues can get worse when lying down.  An adjustable mattress allows for the head to be raised to just the right level for each individual, relieving many of these issues and resulting in more restful sleep.  Other alternatives such as extra pillows or risers under the head of the bed may serve their purpose, but there can be issues with slipping.  Also, there is extremely limited potential for customization, as adjustment requires a full new pillow or riser, which may be too much.  An adjustable mattress allows the sleeper to get things just right.

Memory Foam Mattress

While a spring mattress is better than sleeping on the ground, why settle for just "better."  Why not seize every opportunity and aim for the "best."   This is true with your choice of mattress as well as everything else in life, including academics.  The fact is, a memory foam mattress offers much better support and luxury than standard mattresses.  They also retain less heat, which results in a cooler sleeping surface.  The end game is a more restful sleep and a less painful waking.  Neck, back, and leg pain can be drastically reduced by switching to a memory foam mattress.

Air Mattress

College students often have to settle for non-traditional sleeping arrangements, and if that arrangement includes a sleeper sofa, an air mattress could make a huge difference.  Sleeper sofa mattresses are notorious for being uncomfortable.  The Air Dream Sleeper System reduces virtually all of the characteristics that cause this to be the case.  Sleeping on a sofa never felt so good.
Sleep is important to everyone for a variety of reasons, but for students grades are the issue at hand.  There is a direct correlation between sleep amount and quality and academic success.  Sometimes a new mattress is all it takes.
