Of all bedtime purchases, getting a new mattress is the big one. Let’s face it, it’s a big commitment, as when you find the perfect match, you will spend a whole lot of time together. A good mattress can last you ten years and beyond and make a big difference to the quality of your sleep. Though how do you know when it’s time to make the investment? Here are some of the key questions to ask before you start your search.

What is the lifespan of a mattress?

The lifespan of a mattress can vary depending on the quality and materials it is made from. On average, a good one can last between 7 – 10 years. Those made with low-density foams or that enter the ‘lower end’ of the market can lose their comfort and support sooner. If you are looking to upgrade your mattress, go for those made with high-density foams like our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress. Paying slightly more will see a better return on bedtime in the long run. Investing in a good quality mattress is also far better for the environment, reducing the significant amount that ends up in a landfill. The better you take care of it following the guidelines of the provider, the longer it will take care of you and keep you sleeping soundly.

Is your mattress providing comfort and support?

Of all the things your mattress should deliver, optimum comfort and support are top of the list. This is why it can pay dividends to take your time and make sure you find a premium mattress that offers all the essentials you need for a good night’s sleep. Orthopaedic grade foam will help to keep you in alignment, preventing neck and back pain, while naturally thermoregulating fabrics like bamboo will keep sleep cool and fresh. Aside from not loving jumping into bed, here are some signs your mattress might be ready for replacing:

Aches and Pains

If you are experiencing neck or back pain, an uncomfortable mattress could be the culprit. When your mattress loses firmness, it will no longer be providing you with the support you need for a good night’s sleep, and your muscles and joints will feel it the next day.

Tossing and turning

If you are finding yourself tossing and turning more throughout the night to try and get comfortable, it could be time to upgrade your mattress. The perfect mattress should blend a balance of comfort and support to keep you well-rested and wiggle-free from lights out till morning.

Waking up frequently in the night

An uncomfortable, low-quality mattress can lead to more waking in the night. Especially if it is made from materials that cause overheating like many memory foams. Our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress infuses the support of memory foam with naturally thermoregulating, breathable bamboo to ensure you stay at the perfect temperature for the best quality snoozing.

A comfortable mattress is essential for a good night’s sleep, so if you are nodding your head to any of the above signs – it could be time to start shopping. Over time, putting up with the lack of comfort can lead to sleep deprivation, impacting your well-being from irritability and low mood to a weakened immune system. A good mattress is more than a bedtime treat; it is key to the deep restorative sleep that will keep you happy and healthy.

Does your mattress support your sleeping position?

Another question you want to consider is whether your mattress supports your sleeping position. Whether you are a front, back, or side sleeper can influence what level of firmness and type of mattress is best for you. A mattress with orthopaedic grade memory foam will naturally contour to every sleeping position, so you can rest assured you will be supported and stay in perfect alignment throughout the night. A mattress that supports your sleeping position will ensure your spine and posture stays healthy so you can stay active and pain-free.

Is your mattress hygienic?

What separates the best from the rest when it comes to mattresses is the materials it is made with. Breathable, natural fabrics are ideal for keeping bedtime clean and fresh. Bamboo is anti-bacterial, moisture-wicking and odour resistant, which can help prevent sticky nights, ensuring healthy, hygienic sleep. If your mattress is beginning to have some funky odours, this can zap the joy out of bedtime, and it could be time to freshen things up.

How do you find the best mattress for you?

Ready for an upgrade? It is worth taking your time to make a list of all the things you want in your next mattress. Here are some final things to consider:

  • Your body weight and sleeping position can affect the level of firmness and support you need.

  • If you share a bed with a partner, you want to choose a mattress with effective motion control to ensure smooth, undisturbed nights if they wiggle or take trips to the bathroom.

  • Tend to overheat? Breathable fabrics like bamboo will regulate body temperature, whilst the natural materials’ anti-bacterial qualities will keep bedtime ultra-fresh.

  • Comfort is key. Do you prefer a firm sleeping surface or the cushiony comfort of softer materials?

Our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress combines the best of everything. Breathable BioCell Foam™ regulates body temperature while OrthoAlign Foam™ keeps you in perfect alignment from head to toe.

5 Healthy Benefits of Sleeping on a Bamboo Mattress https://pandalondon.com/5-healthy-benefits-of-sleeping-on-a-bamboo-mattress/ Fri, 24 Mar 2023 17:36:38 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=201115

When it comes to feeling good, there is a wide range of lifestyle choices to consider, from what we eat to how much we move. Though one area you may not have given much thought to is bedtime. Quality sleep is as vital for well-being as an apple a day, and choosing the right mattress can make a huge difference. A hybrid bamboo mattress is trending to ensure you get the most nourishing, restorative rest possible. New to bamboo and hybrid mattresses? Here is everything you need to know about what the magical combination can bring to your sleep and vitality.

1. Efficient body thermo-regulation

As sleepers, we are all incredibly unique, though one thing many of us have in common is overheating at night. This is one of the biggest causes of disrupted sleep leading to cranky mornings and drinking one too many coffees. The good news, advanced sleep science has provided a cool solution to night-time sweats. Panda London has developed a unique BioCell Foam™ infusing breathable, open-cell technology with the natural cooling properties of fresh Bamboo. The wonder plant is thermo-regulating and moisture-wicking, keeping your sleep smooth and fresh all year round. You will stay cosy and warm in winter and breeze through the hottest summer nights. Who needs a vacation? The right mattress turns bedtime into a holiday!

2. Kind and gentle skin for skin

Speaking of holidays, one thing we all like to do in the sun is take care of our skin. Though have you ever thought about overnight skincare? Choosing what we sleep on and in can play a big part in keeping skin healthy, especially if you suffer with allergies or sensitivities. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic, keeping your skin irritation free and comfortable from lights out till morning. Bamboo soothes common skin conditions like eczema and acne, and the cooling fabric prevents night sweats and bacteria that can lead to outbreaks. Look for a mattress that uses bamboo for the cover, as this is what has the most contact with your skin. It is also essential to choose bamboo products that are certified to standard 100 by OEKO-TEX to ensure they are both as skin and planet friendly as possible.

3. Keeps bedtime ultra-fresh and hygienic

Another significant health benefit of a bamboo mattress is the plant’s incredible antibacterial qualities. We all spend a lot of time in bed, about 26 years over the course of our lifetime- actually. This can lead to the build-up of many bacteria and odours, zapping the freshness out of bedtime. Bamboo is both antibacterial and odour-reducing, keeping your mattress as fresh and hygienic as possible. (Even on those occasional weeks you don’t change the bedding) A Panda bamboo hybrid mattress even comes with an easy-to-remove, washable cover making taking care of your mattress as smooth as your sleep. For maximum freshness, be sure to dress your mattress with 100% bamboo bedding. Bedtime doesn’t get much more refreshing than that.

4. Optimises the comfort of your sleep

The bamboo fabric truly is one of a kind, especially when it comes to comfort! The soft, luxurious feel of the fibres turns bedtime into paradise. Combine this with the orthopaedic grade support and advanced engineering of modern technology such as Panda’s naturally body-contouring OrthoAlign Foam™ and ta-da- the comfort of your sleep will transform. Comfortable sleep makes early nights something to look forward to, and anything that can remind us to prioritise rest in today’s fast-paced demanding world is worth the investment. Allowing yourself to properly restore overnight brings bountiful benefits to your health. Studies show better sleep can improve everything from mood to productivity.

5. Zero nasty chemicals

With many of today’s sleep products containing toxins, dyes and harmful chemicals, getting a natural night’s rest can be challenging. Bamboo will help you sleep easily, especially when a brand’s products come with the reassurance of certification by Certipur, Standard 100, OEKO TEX and Reach.

Incorporating natural resources such as bamboo into our lifestyles not only allows us to sleep better, we can rest soundly knowing we are doing something good for the future of our world. A bamboo mattress provides the perfect balance of beautiful, comfortable and sleeps with a luxurious yet sustainable fabric. It is a wonderful way to take care of your health, well-being and our planet one deliciously comfy night at a time.

If you are looking for a natural way to improve your health and sleep, switching to a hybrid bamboo mattress is a great place to start.

Hybrid vs Memory Foam Mattress https://pandalondon.com/hybrid-mattress-vs-memory-foam-mattress/ Tue, 14 Feb 2023 13:05:08 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=192192

What Is The Difference?

With sleep being pivotal to well-being, choosing a mattress is a big decision. Understanding the difference between memory foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses will help you make the best choice for bedtime so you stay supported and rest comfortably.

Searching for the best mattress?

Finding your ideal mattress takes time and perseverance, though knowing your stuff is a great place to start. There is no greater feeling than diving onto your perfect match, whether that’s a memory foam or a hybrid mattress. Many sleepers searching for the perfect night’s sleep want to know the difference between these two popular mattresses. Let’s take a look.

What is a memory foam mattress?

This type of mattress is made from viscoelastic foam, designed to conform to the shape of your body in response to heat and pressure. The foams, which vary in firmness, provide unique spinal support and naturally contour to most sleeping positions. This makes them very popular in the world of bedtime. One of the potential drawbacks was its tendency to retain heat. Though with advanced technology, many mattresses feature cooling layers to keep sleep breathable while providing all the benefits of memory foam.

Memory foam mattresses can sometimes be more on the firm side which doesn’t suit sleepers who prefer a little cushioning. They also come in a wide variety of fabrics and styles which can determine their comfort and support. While not for everyone they can provide a supportive night’s sleep and promote healthy alignment.

What is a hybrid mattress?

The hybrid mattress is a type of mattress that combines two or more support systems, typically memory foam and pocketed springs, to provide a balance of comfort, support, and pressure relief. Hybrid mattresses are a little newer to the scene, though they are quickly becoming the go-to for the perfect night’s sleep. Hybrid mattresses blend classic pocket springs with supportive memory foam and advanced airflow technology to elevate the sleeping experience. Memory foam allows the mattress to provide unique spinal alignment. At the same time, pocket springs (which vary in count and quality) deliver a slightly softer cushiony feel and reduce motion transfer – ideal for those sleepers with wriggly partners.

When shopping for a hybrid mattress, there are a few things to consider. Materials are key to getting the best quality kip. Natural, breathable fabrics like bamboo are ideal for being thermoregulating, hypoallergenic, and anti-bacterial, keeping bedtime ultra-fresh. Panda’s hybrid bamboo mattress is the ultimate portal to breathable sleep with bamboo-infused BioCell Foam™ combined with orthopedically approved OrthoAlign Foam™ and seven zones of premium pocket springs. A smooth bamboo cover seals the mattress in hypoallergenic comfort, which is easy to keep clean and care for. The hybrid bamboo mattress is perfect for those who like to have it all, bringing together the best of science and nature to deliver the best night’s sleep (straight to your bedroom).

What is the best mattress for you?

To decide whether a memory foam or hybrid mattress is best for you it’s best to ask yourself a few questions. 

1. What is your sleeping position?

A good mattress will support your sleeping position. Both of these can provide you with healthy support and spinal alignment. However, a hybrid mattress can provide additional cushioning and advanced breathability to improve sleep.

2. How firm do you like your mattress?

A hybrid mattress could be the best option if you like a firm, though not too firm mattress. The unique combination of foams and springs provides healthy support with a slightly more cushiony feel.

3. Does motion transfer bother you?

If you tend to wake in the night from your partner’s movements, a hybrid mattress will be your new best friend. The motion control technology will set you up for smooth, undisturbed nights and much fresher mornings.

Ready for bed?

If you feel like you are ready to take the dive and upgrade bedtime, Panda’s Hybrid Bamboo Mattress comes with a free UK delivery recycling and collection service and a 100-Night trial to get to know each other.

P.S. Though by night 99 don’t be surprised if you never want to sleep without it.

Which Mattress Gives the Best Back Support? https://pandalondon.com/which-mattress-gives-the-best-back-support/ Tue, 31 Jan 2023 17:35:23 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=189894

The ideal mattress for back support balances comfort and firmness, adapting to personal needs and back issues. Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses provide contouring support and pressure relief, with the best choice depending on individual comfort and specific back conditions.

An unsupportive mattress that works against your body while sleeping is a common reason for back pain. It can cause your back to curve, cause strain, exacerbate existing issues, and leave you with aches and pains in the morning instead of feeling refreshed and ready for whatever the day has in store for you.

Sadly, sometimes, we take our backs for granted until they cause a problem, and we cannot do the activities we want. With that in mind, we will determine which mattress gives the best back support to help you make an informed choice.

When we sleep and change positions at night, we can put pressure on our bodies in different areas. If you are predominantly a back sleeper, the stress is usually concentrated on your lumbar region and can be increased by a mattress that is too soft.

If you prefer to sleep on your side, your hips and shoulders are likely to be the main pressure points, and if you sleep on your front, the primary pressure is expected to be on your lower back and neck area, especially if you have a soft mattress or a high pillow.

When choosing a mattress to support your back, it is advisable to look for an option that is firm enough to give you the support you require yet soft enough to keep you comfortable and help you to fall asleep.

Foam mattresses

An all-foam mattress is made of single or multiple layers of memory foam. This creates a deep soft mattress that can curve around the body’s contours.

Innerspring mattresses

This traditional style is made almost entirely from metal springs with a cover over the top. They can be affordable but do not contour around the body like the memory foam mattress.

aftercare page feature image

Hybrid mattress

As the name suggests, the hybrid combines the best features of the foam mattress with the traditional spring mattress. To create a superior solution that is both supportive and luxuriously comfortable.

The bamboo hybrid mattress contains six unique layers of sleep perfection, including a layer of orthopaedic grade OrthoAlign Foam™ which works with your body and keeps your back supported and in alignment, whichever position you decide to sleep in.

Added comfort: The comforting base of the hybrid mattress is uniquely designed to absorb access movement and support your back, allowing you to sleep deeply even when your bed partner moves.

Zonal springs: Mattresses have been made using springs for many years, as they give support but can be uncomfortable. The springs used in the hybrid mattress are enclosed and isolated, creating a durable support system across the entire bed to ensure you can have a perfect night’s sleep.

Even weight distribution: Many mattresses distribute your weight unevenly. This can cause pressure points leading to aches and pains and disturbing sleep. To avoid pressure points and aid a night of luxuriously deep sleep. The unique layers of foam and springs are designed to work in unison with your body and spread your weight evenly as you sleep.

If your mattress is old, losing shape, or you wake up with aches and pains, it may be a sign that you need a new mattress. One specifically designed to give your back the support you need to have a restful night’s sleep.

A hybrid mattress which blends the best of modern and traditional technology to create an effective solution is an excellent choice for your sleep. The orthopaedic grade foam, and unique zones of pocket springs, support your back regardless of your sleeping position. Ensuring you stay fully supported from top to toe and experience the restful night’s sleep your body requires to stay healthy.

Is Bamboo Mattress Good for Back Pain? https://pandalondon.com/is-bamboo-mattress-good-for-back-pain/ Wed, 25 Jan 2023 17:12:27 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=188884

Sleep is vitally important to our health and well-being. However, back pain can make it hard to get comfortable and fall asleep, resulting in a restless night and sleep deprivation. The disturbed and light sleep caused by back pain means your body cannot get the rest it requires to repair and stay healthy.

Back pain is a problem that many of the adult population suffer from at some time in their life. It can considerably affect many activities, making the simplest tasks like sitting, walking, and sleeping difficult.

The pain can be exacerbated by an inadequate mattress, which is not breathable and does not give the proper support, and motion control needed to prevent misalignment, which can further aggravate back and joint pain.

How sleeping positions can affect back pain?

Sleeping positions are crucial in determining the level of back pain a person may experience. Each sleeping position can affect back pain differently, putting strain on the body in slightly different areas. Back sleepers mainly have pressure in their lumbar area. This can be increased if the mattress is soft, as it can cause the back to curve and increase the chances of back pain.

Side sleepers have the most pressure on the hips and shoulders as these are the widest parts of the body. Stomach sleepers have the most pressure on the lumbar area and the neck. This can be increased further with a high pillow or a sagging mattress, which causes the back to curve unnaturally into U shape.

Most adults change their sleeping position during the night, so it is essential to have a supportive mattress. To work with your body and keep it aligned from head to toe, whichever position you decide to sleep in during the night.

Choosing a supportive bamboo mattress which responds to the natural contours of the body will keep you comfortable as you sleep and may help to alleviate back pain and help to ensure a good night of quality restful sleep.

What to look for in a good bamboo mattress?

Motion isolation: It can be annoying when you are comfortable and have nodded off to sleep, only to be woken when the person you sleep next to you moves. To add a deep, restful night’s sleep, a hybrid bamboo mattress is made up of foams and multi-zonal pocket springs, which help to reduce the transfer of movement, which can often cause pain in the back.

Pressure relief: A bamboo mattress with orthopaedic grade foam to provide pressure relief, distributing weight evenly and preventing the build-up of pressure points, which can cause joint and back pain. This uniquely designed high-density foam ensures the mattress contours evenly to your unique body shape, giving complete body support from head to toe.

Multiple layers: A bamboo mattress with multiple layers can give the perfect combination of firmness and comfort to keep your back and neck in alignment throughout the night—no matter whether you are a back, front or side sleeper.

Temperature control: A mattress created from breathable materials like bamboo can ensure you are at the optimum sleep temperature, which will help to have deep undisturbed sleep.

Is Bamboo Mattress Good for Back Pain?

If the mattress you sleep on is no longer giving you the support your body needs or was not designed to provide support in the first place, it can aggravate back pain. This aggravation can increase the frequency of sleep deprivation, negatively affecting mood, productivity, and overall health.

A bamboo mattress made from high-quality materials can give firm comfort and support. To work beautifully in unison with your body to keep you perfectly aligned and supported until morning enables you to recharge and wake up well-rested and ready for the day ahead.

Sleep is the body’s way of recharging, and when you have a terrible night’s sleep, it can leave you feeling like you are running on empty, impeding your productivity, mood, and long-term health.

There are many reasons why people struggle to sleep. One of the common reasons is an unsupportive mattress, which can result in aches and pains in the body, so it is essential to choose your mattress carefully.

Mattresses can be made from various materials, one of which is bamboo. Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that can be grown, harvested, and produced without chemicals and pesticides. This is because it is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, which makes it great for the environment, manufacturers, and the people sleeping in it!

What is a hybrid bamboo mattress?

A bamboo hybrid mattress is made from multiple layers of bamboo-infused foam and individually enclosed, multizonal pocket springs. This unique combination creates a supportive sleeping surface to keep your body and back aligned in perfect comfort as you sleep. This outstanding support can help to significantly reduce the risk of disturbed sleep, and the aches and pains caused associated with an inferior mattress.

Are bamboo mattresses healthy?

Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to staying healthy and allows your body the time it requires to repair and rest. Therefore, anything which aids you in getting your full 8 hours of quality slumber has to be good for your health.

Often people wake up because they get too hot at night and then struggle to get back to sleep. Bamboo helps to reduce this issue, as it is a highly breathable material. The BioCell Foam™ is designed to increase airflow and keep sleep breathable to help people sleep soundly through the morning.

Many people suffer from allergies which can cause them to have disturbed sleep. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, which can prevent bed bugs and help allergy sufferers get a good night’s sleep.

The hybrid bamboo mattress comprises 6 individual layers, each with its unique job to create support and comfort. These layers work with your body’s natural curves, distributing your weight evenly, and avoiding pressure points. This even distribution means your body can completely relax whilst staying aligned, whether you are a front, back, or side sleeper. This support can help you to avoid the aches and pain often associated with an unsupportive mattress, which can cause sleep deprivation.

Is a Hybrid Mattress Best for Side Sleepers? https://pandalondon.com/is-a-hybrid-mattress-best-for-side-sleepers/ Fri, 06 Jan 2023 19:52:44 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=179301

Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for our mind and body and helps to keep us healthy. However, knowing which mattress to choose for your favoured sleeping position can often be a challenge, especially if you are a side sleeper like a significant number of the adult population.

In this blog, we will answer the question, is a hybrid mattress best for side sleepers?

Something that often affects sleep is the mattress. If you choose the right one, your whole body will be fully supported, allowing it to relax and rejuvenate; however, if you choose the wrong one, all you can be left with are aches, pains and sleepless nights.

So, let’s start with what a hybrid mattress is; it combines a traditional pocket spring mattress and a memory foam mattress. To create a multi-layered mattress of springs, and foam, which can keep you both comfortable and aligned as you sleep.

The benefits of sleeping on your side

Side sleeping is very common and has some advantages, as long as a quality mattress and pillows fully support your body, and keep your back aligned. Side sleeping can help to minimise lower back and joint pain and reduce snoring, which other sleeping positions can aggravate.

The disadvantages of side sleeping

Side sleepers may experience some pain and numbness, especially to the shoulders, if the mattress they sleep on does not support the natural contours of their body.

What to look for in a hybrid mattress?

Mattress Materials

Hybrid mattresses are made from multilayers of foam, and pocket springs, that come together to distribute weight effectively and support your body’s form. The better the quality of the materials used to create the mattress, the more supportive and superior it will be.

Quality mattresses now have thousands of individually enclosed springs, perfect for contouring the side sleepers’ position and reducing motion transfer. Therefore, even if your bed buddy moves around, you can continue snoozing away blissfully undisturbed.

One of the common reasons side sleepers wake up is because they overheat, which is often caused by the material used to make the mattress. When choosing your mattress, ensure they have a breathable layer like the hybrid bamboo mattress, which uses BioCell Foam™ to keep sleepers at the optimum sleep temperature, whatever the weather. If the layers of foam are not designed to allow airflow, they can lead to sleepers getting too hot and having disturbed sleep.

The firmness & support

The firmness of a mattress is determined by the materials used and their densities. Side sleepers should look for a hybrid mattress that gives enough support and is comfortable. Orthopaedic grade memory foam is perfect as it works in harmony with your body, contouring to shape to help keep your whole body fully aligned. The bamboo hybrid mattress gives you the ideal support and firmness for a restful night’s sleep.

Pressure Points

Side sleepers can have the most pressure on their hips and shoulders; therefore, looking for a mattress with firmness and support is essential. Hybrid mattresses can be the perfect option for them as they combine the support of the enclosed springs with the multi-foam layers to create an amazingly comfortable mattress that aids in a good night’s sleep and distributes weight evenly to relieve pressure.

Why is a hybrid mattress the best for a side sleeper?

Sleeping is the body’s way of resting and rejuvenating itself. Which is why getting a great night’s sleep is so vital. A quality hybrid mattress is excellent for side sleepers. It offers the proper contoured support and comfort needed to ensure weight is evenly distributed, to relieve pressure and help you achieve a blissful night’s sleep.

Comfort and Support – Blending just the right spring softness of pocket springs with orthopaedic grade memory foam makes hybrid mattresses the ultimate combination of optimum comfort and support. Proper alignment is crucial for healthy sleep to promote better mobility, and body posture and prevent neck and back pain. Though an overly firm mattress can cause discomfort and not suit every sleeper. This makes a hybrid mattress perfect for those looking for the ideal balance of comfort and support.

Motion Transfer – Another leading cause of disrupted nights is caused by motion transfer. This originates from the lack of ability of your mattress to absorb movement, impacting support, comfort, and performance. If you have a restless partner or are a light sleeper, you are likely to toss and turn every time they move. Hybrid mattresses feature individually pocketed spring coils designed to reduce motion transfer for smoother nights and an unbroken better quality sleep.

Skin Protection – Having an advanced breathable mattress keeps bedtime fresh and hygienic, though it’s important to look at the fabrics a mattress is made of to optimise skin care. A Bamboo Hybrid Mattress is naturally hypoallergenic and thermos-regulating which not only feels soft and smooth on your skin, the anti-bacterial moisture-wicking properties of the fibres promote healthier skin care. This is ideal for those suffering from common allergies like eczema and acne or sensitive skin. When shopping for hybrid mattresses, pay attention to the quality of those materials!

Where are the best hybrid mattresses hiding online?

Do all those benefits sound tempting? The next step is to find the best mattress for you. Shopping online can be daunting without the option to dive on for a bounce before you bring it home. The good news is many top brands offer confident home trials so you can make sure you’ve found the perfect match before making any commitments. Look for brands with outstanding customer service and exceptional reviews like Panda London, this gives you the reassurance and trust you are in for the very best of bedtimes!

Good sleep awaits, sweet dreams!

What Makes the Hybrid Bamboo Mattress so Special? https://pandalondon.com/what-makes-hybrid-bamboo-mattress-so-special/ Mon, 19 Dec 2022 15:33:41 +0000 https://pandalondon.com/?p=178381

‘Your rest is our priority‘

Ahh, bedtime. The best time of day! Especially when you have the perfect mattress. Though with SO many to choose from where do you find it? There is one magic question to use when shopping for a mattress online- how is this going to benefit my sleep? One that certainly deserves first place in your lineup is our hybrid mattress. Want to know why? (We thought you would) let’s dive into the unique benefits of the hybrid bamboo mattress and why you won’t want to sleep without it!

1. Hybrid mattress is ultra-breathable

The number one cause of cranky mornings? Believe it or not – it’s not bad coffee. It’s hot, sticky nights that keep you tossing and turning. Overheating can affect up to 41% of sleepers, which over time can impact your mood, metabolism, and productivity. If you are a hot sleeper (or love the idea of cool, fresh nights) you need a mattress that offers ultra-breathability and airflow. Memory foam is known to naturally retain heat, though we know it provides exceptional support and comfort, which is why we spent years developing our unique Bio-Cell Foam™. Infusing third-generation foam with fresh bamboo and advanced open cell technology, our cooling foam regulates body temperature from lights out till morning.

There’s more!

Our easy-to-remove and wash, anti-bacterial bamboo cover adds an extra layer of thermo-regulation for the freshest bedtimes! Our premium, sustainable, bamboo wicks-away moisture, keeping you snuggled comfortably, sleeping like a very happy baby!

Dive into cool, comfy sleep!

2. Hybrid mattress has pressure-points for perfect support

Cranky back, anyone? Stiff neck? It could be caused by what you are sleeping on. Lack of support from a mattress can encourage poor sleeping posture and improper spinal alignment. A big no, no, according to mobility coach Matt Cunningham who says, “Attaining the right balance of support and stability is essential for spinal health during sleep.”

We have developed a solution – and its pressure point is perfect! Our OrthoAlign Foam™ naturally contours to your sleeping position, working with seven zones of ultra-responsive pocket springs to deliver tailor-made comfort to every part of your body. Sound divine? It is! Though, of course, sleeping is believing… Give it a snooze- pressure free with our 100-night home trial.

3. Advanced motion control

Hands up if you share a bed with a restless sleeper! Whether it’s your partner or pet that wiggles and moves throughout the night – it’s no surprise that these disturbances directly affect the quality of your sleep. The better the ability of your mattress to absorb movement, the more likely you will enjoy consistent and deeper rest. Especially if you tend to wake up easily, and many of us, (especially those living in busy cities) tend to be light sleepers. This is why advanced motion control was non-negotiable when designing our hybrid. Up to 1500 individually encased, premium springs isolate movement by working with our highly resilient memory foam comfort base. Durable Visco foam catches any excess movement, so you won’t feel a thing!

4. Gentle on your skin and our planet

Did you know skin is the largest organ in your body? Yep- It’s a pretty big deal, and taking care of it is very important. All those hours spent in bed mean a lot of one on one contact with your mattress, bedding, and pillows and the fabrics they are made with. Our hybrid mattress is sealed with our signature, hypoallergenic bamboo. The natural, gentle fibers are ideal for those who suffer from allergies like eczema, acne, and other sensitivities. We go above and beyond to make sure our products are gentle on the skin by ensuring they are chemical-free and certified to the highest industry standards. Simply- clean, fresh sleep that is kind to your skin and kind to our planet.
