For World Sleep Day, we’ve put together some fascinating films about sleep and coma interconnected with reality. But before we start, let’s find out the importance of a high-quality bed for sleep health.
Why choose an orthopedic mattress?
An orthopedic mattress differs from an ordinary mattress in that it has a medical purpose. A simple mattress is suitable for rest and sleeps for people with a perfectly healthy spine. But today almost everyone periodically complains of back pain, muscle fatigue, chronic diseases, and similar symptoms. This is what justifies the need for an orthopedic mattress.
A mattress with a stable hardness that does not sag, and does not form humps, provides reliable support for the spine. In a comfortable position of the spine during sleep, all muscles relax and recover. When a person sleeps on an uneven surface, the muscles need to be in tension to support a certain part of the body. This leads to pain, restless sleep, and, as a consequence, sleep deprivation.
And these films will show you how sleep deviations can become an intriguing plot:

The trouble is that for the whole of Cobb’s team this assignment may be his last.
