You follow all the tips to spend good nights to the letter and yet you wake up several times a night and in the morning you are tired, the temperature in your room is ideal, you eat light in the evening, you cut off the screens an hour before going to bed...

Memory foam: this is a foam that softens when in contact with the body’s heat to perfectly follow the contours of the sleeper’s body and returns to its original shape with each movement.
Polyurethane foam: an ultra-comfortable and resistant foam that provides good support for many years, to make it more "natural" it is interesting to choose a mattress with a natural fibre cover such as TENCEL™ to regulate the temperature or a cotton cover with Aloe Vera coating recommended for sensitive skin.
When choosing a mattress, it is important to consider the height/weight ratio when choosing the right density for you: the bigger you are, the heavier you weigh, the more firm density you have to choose, while if you are small and light you can choose a soft density mattress.
In any case when choosing a new mattress, make sure you choose a mattress without chemical treatment, banish anti-flame, anti-mite, anti-bacterial treatments,... By choosing natural materials you will benefit from optimal natural protection without chemicals and you can enjoy a 100% natural sleep.
