This weekend, Daylight Saving Time will kick in, requiring us to move the clocks forward by an hour. For those that already struggle with going to bed on time, this small change could cause a greater amount of slept debt. In fact, science shows that losing as little as an hour of sleep will result in sleep debt. Is it possible to recover this sleep by “catching up”?

Catching up on sleep is easier said than done. To recover that one hour of sleep loss, research suggests you would need to sleep at least adequately for four days to make up for that one hour, a process which may be easier said than done for many.

Circadian rhythms are highly sensitive to sleep cycles, and they are easily disrupted by staying up all night or getting up earlier than usual. The body will typically begin to secrete melatonin around nine o’clock to promote sleep, but the circadian rhythms can be affected by light, which is why it’s strongly advised that you not use your phone at bedtime. Consistently going to bed late will make your body want to stay awake later.

If you’re feeling particularly sleep deprived, consider a nap in the middle of the day. Then again, maybe your mattress is keeping you up that extra unnecessary hour. If that may be the case, visit us at Brickell Mattress and we’ll show you how names like Vispring and Hastens may help in making catching up a thing of the past.

A quick Google search reveals an avalanche of information and data detailing how detrimental sleep deprivation and sleep disorders like insomnia are to the body. In case you need more evidence of what poor sleep can do, continue reading.

A study involving mice showed that poor sleep may go as far as increasing the risk of developing clogged arteries, resulting in a possible stroke or heart attack. The study used mice that were genetically prone to plaque build up in the arteries. The mice were woken up every so often to have their sleep disrupted. Compared to the mice that slept soundly the entire time, the sleep-deprived mice showed greater amounts of plaque in the arteries and excess in immune cells.

While the results are limited to mice at this point, it may signal yet another reason why it is so essential for humans to get enough hours of sleep each night. Furthermore, it also serves as a reminder of why it’s just as important to reduce the amount of tossing and turning which disrupts the sleep cycle. With a Vispring or Hastens mattress, these handmade beds will accommodate to virtually any sleep position you prefer.

Furthermore, the upholstered borders also feature protective wool as well as a pair of rows of hand side-stitching and air vents on each side for maximum breathability.

You won’t find any foams or synthetic materials of any sort when you sleep on the Vispring Devonshire or any Vispring mattress for that matter. Only natural materials are used to create a blissfully restful sleep on this mattress which remains the only model comprised of wool filling without cotton layers or other fibers.

When the body needs to recover from a workout or intensive training, there is no greater method than getting a good night’s sleep. It is during the sleep cycle that the body repairs any damage that may have been done, including tissue repair thanks to hormones like testosterone. As a result, sleep deprivation will not allow the body to recover effectively, and there is no other way to make it up.

One study showed that young men who slept only five hours a night saw a drop of up to fifteen percent in their levels of testosterone. Additionally, it’s been shown time and time again that a lack of proper sleep will affect athletic performance, potentially tripling a person’s ability to react. With many sports relying on precise timing to achieve victory, this can be critical.

It’s also worth remembering that sleep deprivation affects the immune system, making a person more susceptible to illnesses and injuries. Again, if you’re part of a team that depends on you, you don’t want anything hindering performance.

Athletes and those with an active lifestyle may find mattresses by Vispring and Hastens to be a tremendous benefit in getting enough sleep every night. Besides helping you fall asleep, these beds will also help you wake up feeling genuinely relaxed and revitalized.

As its regal name suggests, the Masterpiece Superb is truly the crown jewel of the Vispring luxury bedding collection. The Masterpiece Superb rests on a pair of layers of 1.93” diameter vanadium wire springs, which represent the smallest and most meticulously organized of all Vispring models. With this arrangement, pressure-relieving support per square inch is greater when it comes to body weight, creating a sleeping surface that can respond effortlessly to motion or changes in weight. The Masterpiece also includes a fully blended layer of exotic materials including cashmere, bamboo, and alpaca for a level of comfort that simply cannot be equaled.

Besides the Vanadium Wire Springs, the Masterpiece Superb also includes a hand-stitched border with air vents to promote air circulation and temperature regulation. The border is upholstered with all-natural coir and wool and it includes piped ticking to additional softness to the already supremely comfortable mattress. Speaking of wool, the authentic Shetland Isle Wool results in a sleeping surface that does not accumulate humidity.

Yet another reason to choose the Masterpiece? It remains the only bed in the world to come delicately enveloped in 100% silk for a sleep that is as comfortable as it is luxurious. It is a remarkable luxury bed that must be experienced firsthand to understand its incredible comfort. If you would like to schedule an exclusive showing of the Masterpiece Superb, please call Brickell Mattress at 305.326.4000.

Hästens has been making the news a lot lately, perhaps most notably after it was revealed that its mattress will be used as part of the sleeping accommodations in what will soon be the world’s largest and most luxurious cruise ship suite. The Swedish mattress manufacturer is once again generating headlines, and this time it comes courtesy of a fellow Swede.

Swedish professional ice hockey forward André Burakovsky filmed himself resting on a Hästens bed on his Instagram. In the brief video, Burakovsky claims he has just woken up and experienced a “great sleep” in his bed before he gets ready for practice. Burakovsky also announces that he will be taking over the Hästens Instagram account in a few weeks. André Burakovsky currently plays for the National Hockey League team the Washington Capitals, which won the coveted Stanley Cup championship last year.

You don’t need to be a famous person to try a Hästens bed. Come to the Brickell Mattress store and experience one of these incredible mattresses for yourself.

Currently, the world’s largest cruise ship is Royal Caribbean’s massive Symphony of the Seas. When it comes to the largest cruise ship suites, however, that honor will soon be bestowed upon the Seven Seas Splendor, an upcoming ship by Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Dubbed the “Regent Suite”, it will be a whopping 4,443 square feet and will offer everything from floor to ceiling windows to a private dining room, sauna, steam room, and even an area to receive spa treatments.

How do mattresses factor into this story? Future passengers staying in the Regent Suite will be sleeping on none other than a Hästens mattress when the Seven Seas Splendor makes its debut next year. As is the tradition with Hästens beds, the mattress is handmade and is comprised of all-natural ingredients including horsehair, wool batting, and cotton. Furthermore, the Regent Suite guest will have their own “Pre-Voyage Concierge” where they’ll be able to request their preferred linens and pillows.

You too can sleep in luxury with a Hastens mattress! Come to Brickell Mattress and we’ll be happy to share why these Swedish-made beds are among the finest and most comfortable sleep experiences in the world.

Even when we’re asleep, the brain still manages to do a lot of work. Hence, sleep is absolutely essential to ensuring the brain remains healthy. In fact, it’s so important that a couple of recent studies reveal some surprising results. Going as little as one night without sleep can negatively affect memory, metabolism, and even increase the chances of developing Alzheimer’s, anxiety, and more.

A University of California at Berkeley examined the effect of a single night’s loss of sleep on anxiety and emotion regulation in several young adults in good health. After just one night of complete sleep deprivation, participants showed an increase of more than 25% in anxiety levels, compared to how they felt the previous night. The difference was further reinforced when their brains were scanned: Those that were dealing with sleep deprivation showed greater activity in the amygdalae, the brain center responsible for anxiety and fear.

Is your mattress what’s causing your sleep deprivation? Your brain should always remain in top shape, which is why we encourage you to visit Brickell Mattress and try a mattress by Vispring or Hastens to discover the difference. With these mattresses, you’ll fall asleep easier and reduce the odds of tossing and turning.

If the perfect night’s sleep meant paying money, would you do it? With more than 50 million adults in the United States alone suffering from sleep disorders such as insomnia, you may be surprised to learn that a large chunk of Americans would give money to sleep better.

A survey commissioned by a well-known mattress chain with over 2,500 participants found that over thirty percent of them sleep a mere six hours and seventeen minutes each night. What’s more, most of them experienced more than ninety nights of “terrible” sleep. Considering there are 365 days in a year, that’s quite the alarming number.

Other notable tidbits revealed in the survey showed that the position of sleep also contributed to sleep quality. While nearly forty percent of respondents agreed that sleeping on the side was a popular position, those that slept on their back slept better.

Among the many qualities of a Hastens or Vispring mattress is you can look forward to a better night’s sleep in virtually any position you may prefer. Come to Brickell Mattress to learn more about these widely acclaimed mattresses and you’ll soon be experiencing an incredible night’s sleep.
