Do you wake up with numb limbs in the morning? If you do, then chances are that you need a new mattress. The reason you are waking up with numb limbs is that as you sleep your pressure points are being blocked and as a result your limbs become numb. Your pressure points become blocked off because your mattress is pressing against them.
Most mattresses force the sleeper into certain postures as they are not that responsive to different body shapes and sleeping positions. This results in pressure on certain points of the body. After an entire night with this pressure, you will wake to find your limbs have gone numb.
With memory foam, the mattress shapes itself to your exact body size and posture, adjusting as you move through the night. This means the pressure from your body weight pushing down on the mattress is distributed evenly across your body, meaning that when you wake in the morning, you are not numb.
Not only is waking numb not a very nice sensation, it can also be bad for you long term as that pressure is blocking off your circulatory systems as well. Don’t hesitate, get a memory foam mattress now.
