New Mattresses And Adjustable Beds Combat Fibromyalgia and Allergies

July 19, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
The most recent meeting of the Association of Professional Sleep Societies underscored the many links between poor sleep and major health problems: ranging from obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes to hypertension, attention deficit disorder, heart failure, coronary disease and stroke. Escalating stress in our work-driven society has magnified our national sleep debt while directly worsening such sleep-related problems as fibromyalgia and sleepiness at the wheel. The startling prevalence of sleep apnea underscores the fact that sedating medications should not be a logical solution.

It also has become clear that dust mites are a leading cause of allergic asthma and nasal congestion—and a queen-size traditional mattress can harbor two million dust mites!

A more logical solution than pills must involve both early detection of serious sleep disorders and attention to the surface upon which we sleep—with attention not only to comfort and dust mite protection, but also to the fact that our needs change over time.

The Powell Sleep Solutions Company has arrived at the perfect solution: its new Forest Cloud private line of mattresses and adjustable beds. What makes them unique?

They contain a core of either Talalay or natural latex that both conforms to body contours and offers 300% greater protection against dust mites. They also provide interchangeable toppers of either latex with varying firmness levels or memory foam, that can be replaced at any time if an individual's firmness needs should change (for example, with the development of orthopedic problems related to age). Side-by-side toppers ensure that both bed partners can enjoy the exact firmness that they each prefer. The Forest Cloud carries an unprecedented twenty-year non-prorated warranty! —prompting the slogan, "the bed of your dreams…for the rest of your life". Buyers can select from seven different styles of covers as well as both Leggett & Platt adjustable bases with massage and tilt frame adjustable bases for those with special needs.

The Forest Cloud's comfort and durability have now resulted in its use in sleep disorders centers: to ensure that patients will sleep well during overnight testing, vital if such testing is to yield accurate diagnoses and meaningful guidelines for treatment.
