In today’s competitive society one of the biggest challenges couples often find is meshing schedules and similar interests plus sleep habits. For some its Tv others its reading, sometimes going to bed before 10 others finishing that report or some sort of work related project. Then theres the dreaded S Word (Snoring!!!!) and other forms of sleep problems and disorders. Too often one person upstairs one in the spare room, couch, den, basement, etc… just to get a decent night’s sleep. This can create unwanted tension in your marriage/relationship and put a cramp in your lifestyles.
Lifestyle: a manner of living that reflects the person’s values and attitudes. Exactly what the doctor ordered enter the Power Base Generation. Instead of sleeping downstairs or going to another room how about putting the snore feature on an adjustable bed allowing your partner to sleep while you sit up and finish that project or watch the TV program you wanted to see all week and keeping the bed warm at the same time.
Prodigy: an unusually gifted or intelligent (young) person; someone whose talents excite wonder and admiration; “she is a chess prodigy”. Ok an adjustable is not a child however it does have unique features that separate it from similar models for one the ipad/iphone application to control the bed and two its therapeutic massage features with a silent alarm so you don’t disturb your partner when you awake earlier.
So in essence what you have is an adjustable that suits every lifestyle combined with a mattress that is comfortable, healthy, will not give a body impression in less than 20 years, relieves pressure, is chemical free, and can be put in any position to ensure every person sleeps in the most desired postion while the mattress always retains it shape.

Are You Living Naturally? More importantly Are You Sleeping Naturally?These are just two questions we often ask people when they enter our doors. Soma Sleep’s customers are finding by sleeping more naturally they enhance their overall health and vitality. What’s that old time catch phrase ” The proof is in the pudding”It sounds way too cliche but it’s true. This past week a customer dropped in to pick up a pillow from a previous back order and after I gave him his order he was going to leave but something compelled him to come back in and tell me something funny about his new bed that just got delivered a little over a month ago. Sam said that the bed was of course comfortable and he was sleeping well but the one area he noticed was on a recent business trip he was waking up constantly though out the night and then in the morning he was stuffed up, groggy, or even feeling sick. Then he flew home a week later and slept in his new bed which was an organic Green Sleep Vimala Sleep System. Within 2 Days he informed me he slept more deeply, waking up feeling rejuvenated more and more. After he put two and two together he realized by switching his mattress to a more natural one that breathes and provides a therm o regulating, supportive, and restorative night’s sleep himself and his whole family were happy they made the choice to switch their mattress and were already feeling and appreciating the benefits from their commitment to sleep more naturally. Whether it’s a Green Sleep, a Soma Organic Mattress,Natura, Magniflex, or any other natural mattress, by switching to a more natural sleep everyone who does will benefit tremendously in the short and long term waking up rejuvenated by a quality night’s sleep.

Most people have become aware of the need to purge as many harmful chemicals from our homes specifically the bedroom whether it be ripping up the carpet and replacing it with more natural flooring, natural cleaning substances, and even the furniture specifically our mattresses.
Magniflex one of our manufacturers states “Through our skin we breathe and absorb nearly everything that comes in contact with it”. So when trying to limit our chemical exposure we should not only consider replacing the mattress but protective covers and linens as well given our skin comes into direct contact with what is covering our bed. Organic cotton linens can be very expensive depending on thread count (never get caught up in thread counts with your sheets) , Bamboo cotton blends are not as natural as organic cotton but they are still very anti-microbial and healthier than traditional linens. Mattress covers/protectors there are generally two types natural and waterproof (breathable polyurethane barrier). Choosing one depends on a variety of factors kids, pets, whether you have a drink while in bed. If you want the most natural and healthiest the best option is either an organic moisture pad or a washable wool mattress pad. If you require a waterproof barrier there are two quality ones on the market Nauraworld’s protect plus with their new silver technology or the oeko-tex 100 standard from Protect A Bed.
Replacing your conventional mattress with a more natural mattress can be a little more tricky given several factors including budget, firmness, comfort, and so on.
While the best choice for optimal health and comfort would be a natural rubber mattress with a pure wool quilt and certified organic cotton it does not appeal to everyone. This is the very reason why at Soma Sleep and Wellness we are constantly evolving to adapt to our customer’s needs. Our showroom features a variety of options for organic mattresses and bedding. We carry our own Soma Organic line, Natura, Magniflex (Natural Memory Foam from Italy), Green Sleep, and Hypnos (Pocket Coil) just to name a few.
As always I welcome any feedback regarding products and general questions. Only together can we a build a sustainable economy for everyone to enjoy.
Health consequences from not receiving enough quality hours of sleep anything less than 7 hours or what’s classified as poor sleep can involve the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems. You should not let your life no matter how busy it is interfere with a good night’s sleep, between 70-100 million North Americans suffer from various chronic sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea or insomnia.
An insufficient amount of sleep can cause hunger hormones to go out of control. Several studies have proven Leptin is lowered and ghrelin is raised. Which basically means you feel hungry when you shouldn’t be and tend to eat. This hormonal imbalance can lead to bad food choices and cause future obesity. Clinical studies have shown that patients with sleep apnoea or obstructive breathing problems while sleeping tend to have higher percentages of cholesterol, protein, and saturated fat in their diets.
Those with fewer than 7 hours sleep are also more likely to become diabetic given the poor diet and impaired glucose levels. Heart disease is more likely to strike as well with 5 or fewer hours of sleep as well obstructive sleep apnoea can also lead to high blood pressure and hypertension. Weight plays a role in a lot of these condition so losing and maintaining a healthy weight is vital.
Now obviously these are the worst cases that result from abusing your hours of sleep that are needed but at the very least everyone needs to be aware of the consequences for ourselves and our children. A conscious effort must be put forth to avoid other problems as low self esteem, depression, mental distress, even alcohol use which of course can lead to driving drowsy/driving impaired. Behaviour can even be affected by insomnia or sleep related illness especially in children.
So in the end we all should put more thought into our diet, quality sleep routine, and exercise. Sometimes lack of sleep can be related to chemical sensitivity, comfort firmness, support with your mattress an so on…It is very important that your sleep environment is set up in a way that will allow for a deep night’s sleep because just going to bed early will not ensure the proper rest needed for rejuvenation that will help achieve optimal health.
At Soma Sleep and Wellness that is why we combine sleep and wellness of being. From our sleep consultants in our mattress and bedding showroom to our wellness professionals in our on site clinic. Our goal is always to provide our clients with the knowledge and the products to ensure the most rested and peaceful night’s sleep.
