The trick is a good night’s sleep.

It is a fact that sleep is very important for your health. Jensen’s aim is to steadily improve the quality of sleep using new technical solutions and materials.

We know from experience that the body takes a short while to adapt to a new bed. It is quite normal for your back to feel tired during the first few weeks. The reason for this is that the muscles and joints have to get used to the support offered by the new bed. The bed also reduces the pressure on your body and this will improve your blood circulation, which means that you may feel hotter in bed than is normally the case but this will pass.

Height, weight and body shape are important factors when buying a mattress. The mattress must give comfortable support to your entire body and keep your spine as straight as possible. A good mattress should adapt and support your body and offer proper resistance so that your body can rest. This will allow you to relax and sleep better. The degree of firmness that you choose is therefore important and you should take your time when trying out a bed in the shop. The mattress must respond to your body’s impulses, making it easy to roll over in bed. It is particularly important that your shoulders and hips can sink into the bed. If your body can relax you will not wake up stiff in the morning. A good mattress also reduces the risk of incorrect pressure, back pain and restless sleep.

What does good sleep mean to us?
Sleep is a basic need of life, a vital state that neither humans nor animals can live without for many days. In the short term, sleeping badly or insomnia causes concentration problems, mood swings and makes us a danger in traffic. In the long term it results in a lowered resistance to sickness, speeds up the aging processes, de-energises us and even has social consequences.

There are various stages of sleep that we pass through during the night. The first phase is the falling asleep phase, followed by a deeper and then even deeper sleep. The best we can hope to achieve is at least 2 hours of deep sleep per night. If we don’t achieve that for a period of time then, as we already mentioned, it will start to affect us negatively. Even if we feel that we sleep all night, we might roll over a lot during the night or be affected by other factors like, for example, noise which causes us to ‘fall out’of deep sleep and not feel rested when we wake up in the morning. Sleep quality and sleep patterns change through the years. This means that the need for a good bed increases with age. However, it is also important to consider the needs of young people so that they can adopt good sleep comfort habits in early childhood. Doing so means they will retain these good habits as adults.

A good bedroom environment is more important than you think.
