Sleeping on Cloud 10

Never underestimate the power of a comfortable night’s sleep. Tossing and turning all night, waking up in pain, the worst pain is in the morning; if any of this sounds familiar, you may need a new mattress. I have seen countless numbers of people with these same complaints. When I ask about the mattress, a majority of the time the answer is the same, “Well, my mattress is pretty old”. How old? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years? Come on people, mattresses wear out and new technology becomes available. Recently, a new patient came to see me with a mysterious pain that only occurs at night while in bed. Well, wouldn’t you know it; her bed was a waterbed nearly as old as I am. Come on! Mystery solved. A crappy bed will cause pain.

Think about it. Everyone is very concerned about posture while sitting, working, and playing. What about sleep posture? You spend half of your life sleeping, right? Sleep posture depends on a well made sleep foundation that supports your alignment while relieving pressure points. Imagine sleeping with your spine bent or twisted all night. With such poor sleep posture, pain will happen no matter how healthy your spine is. Spend ten or twenty years with a habitually poor sleep posture, permanent changes will occur like stretched ligaments and joint arthritis. A good mattress is an investment towards continued spine health.

Now is not the time to get cheap. A new mattress is an investment in you. Which one should you invest in? Hands down, the best mattress on the current market is the Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme. You might have heard of “Cloud 9”. Well the Tempur-Pedic company has just perfected “Cloud 10”. How do I know? Well, I bought one. After laying on it for the first time at Foothill Mattress Company, I was immediately sold, no questions asked. Some may know that I have been sleeping on an original “classic” Tempur-Pedic mattress with a Tempur-Pedic foundation. Well this “Cloud Supreme” is far superior to the old “classic” technology. The new technology called Tempur-ES took years to develop and perfect. This new material is truly supportive, yet not too firm. All of my pressure points are relieved, my sleep posture is supported and I am no longer waking up in pain. Hooray! I am sleeping on Cloud 10.

After two weeks on our new mattress, my husband and I can report that we sleep more soundly. We wake up feeling rested. And most importantly, I am no longer experiencing a mysterious pain in the middle of the night. So, if too you have pain that wakes you up, try sleeping on the new Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme (a.k.a Cloud 10). Doctor’s Orders!
