You’re likely familiar with the word ‘insomnia’. For those that have been fortunate enough to never deal with it, insomnia is the inability to get enough sleep, whether it’s being unable to fall asleep or staying asleep. For chronic sufferers, it can potentially lead to health problems. For the rest of you that have in fact heard of it, the term you may not be familiar with is ‘semisomnia’.

Semisonia is a term coined by Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert who has researched the science of sleep for more than three decades. Stanley travels to various parts of the world using his expertise to conduct public and healthcare professional lectures on everything that has to do with sleep. Semisonia is his definition of the daily poor sleep and low-grade daytime sleepiness that we often experience on a regular basis. Unlike insomnia, it’s not a medical condition.

The topic of semisonia is part of the “Better Sleep with Dr. Stanley” series which is being published on the Vispring website. You can read more about it as well as previous entries in the series by clicking here.

Speaking of Vispring, if you’re looking to avoid dealing with semisomnia or want a potentially effective way of tackling a case of insomnia, a Vispring mattress will help you do that. Vispring mattresses are luxurious beds that have been used by royalty thanks to their impeccable craftsmanship, resulting in what are some of the world’s most comfortable beds.

Achieving a better night’s sleep is one people take quite seriously. There are plenty of apps and devices intended to help you rest and countless studies have been dedicated to discovering how humans can perfect the science of sleep. Regardless of how you go about better rest, you’re going to need a mattress to do it.

The average mattress lasts for about seven years, but that’s if you’re going to choose a run of the mill mattress. British newspaper The Times knows just the right type of mattress you should choose, and two of the ones mentioned in its “How to choose a mattress” article are none other than Hästens and Vispring.

In our previous blog, we told you about the luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report Online and its article talking about Swedish bed maker Hästens and the work that goes into creating its beds. Hästens is also mentioned in the printed version of the Robb Report, which has an even deeper look into the process of creating the company’s one-of-a-kind beds.

Let’s take a look at a brief overview. As one of the essential and sustainably sourced components of a Hästens bed, the horsetail hair is prepared to precise specifications before it is separated into varying lengths and micro curls prior to being teased and fluffed. The hand-teased horsetail hair provides moisture wicking, support, and air circulation to the mattress. Pine is also used, which is obtained from northern Sweden and is used to make the base of the mattress. Flax and cotton are also utilized to provide ventilation and dust blocking. Each mattress is then hand stitched with the spacing and quantity varying based on the Hästens model.

You can learn more about the Hästens process by picking up the January 2018 issue of the Robb Report, dubbed “The Travel Issue”.

The magazine’s online component appropriately called Robb Report Online receives over 400,000 visitors a month.

The Robb report article titled Sleep Study: Hästens Has Refined the Art of Mattress-Making for More Than 150 Years is featured in the magazine’s “Shelter” section and it involves an insightful write-up and slideshow showcasing the tremendous amount of work, craftsmanship, and meticulous care that goes into the making of Hästens beds.

Last time we told you a little more about Swedish luxury bed maker Carpe Diem and what it’s all about. Today we’d like to tell you a little more about its history which begins with a man named Börje Thuleskär. Mister Thuleskär had dreams of becoming a chiropractor, which fueled his passion to learn more about human anatomy and physiology. As Thuleskär gained knowledge, he began to see the importance of sleeping well and how it affected the body and mind. With that in mind, Thuleskär decided to invest in a high end bed.

The bed Thuleskär bought failed to live up to his expectations. It was during an outing to the island of Kornö that Thuleskär had an epiphany of sorts, mesmerized by the beauty of the island and its natural landscape. Walking barefoot over the rocks, Thuleskär relaxed on a bed of wild heather, completely immersed in nothing but the natural sounds as the heather molded to his body shape. It was during this moment that Börje Thuleskär was inspired to create a bed focused on comfort and achieving a genuine sleep experience.

Today, Carpe Diem Mattresses of Sweden are exported to more than eleven different countries.

What do you think of when you hear the word “cotton”? Chances are you’re envisioning a soft, incredibly comfortable material that’s simply, well, wonderful! When used in a mattress, you know you’re in for a lovely night’s sleep. When it’s combined with other natural materials like horsehair, your mattress becomes a trip to a restful paradise, lulling you to sleep almost instantaneously.

While human beings have lungs to help them breathe, often we fail to realize that the skin is another organ that requires breathability. With millions of pores running through our skin, it’s essential that each individual one can breathe properly in order to push out toxins. On top of that, when your skin can breathe it means you’ll remain dry with less risk of sweating.

Have you noticed how your cotton shirt assists with keeping you cool during the summer season? It works in a similar way on a mattress. Cotton creates ventilation and wicks away perspiration, helping you keep cool at night while enjoying a restful night’s sleep.

Hästens has a sterling reputation for its premium mattresses utilizing all-natural materials, including cotton. A better night’s sleep awaits you in 2018.

You spend a tremendous chunk of your life laying on a mattress. Hence, it’s imperative that you take the time to find a mattress that will give you a restful night’s sleep and provide essential support to your body so you wake up feeling energized, refreshed, and ready to tackle the day’s responsibilities. With that in mind, it’s strongly worth considering what a natural mattress can do for you.

Natural mattresses are—pun intended—naturally supportive on your back and your spine. These mattresses can easily mold to your body’s unique shape so that your body is free of pressure or stress, thereby minimizing the amount of tossing and turning. What’s more, natural mattresses that use materials such as horsehair will also help with keeping your body temperature regulated and cool throughout the night. Considering how unbearably warm South Florida’s weather can become during the summer season, this is a massive plus, reducing the odds of waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.

Hästens has earned itself a loyal following for its premium mattresses utilizing all-natural materials, including horsehair. Why not consider improving your body and mind in 2018 with a better night’s sleep?

Once known as Vi-Spring, the history of Vispring begins in 1899 when English engineer James Marshall was working in Canada. When his wife became ill, Marshall sought to create a support system built by hand to assist her, utilizing coiled springs wrapped in materials such as horsehair. These coils were frequently used in chair seats but seemingly no one thought to integrate them into a mattress. This pocketed coil would eventually cement its place in history as the Marshall coil.

Two years later, a pair of Marshall Mattress agents named Frederick James and John Nolon decided to promote John Marshall’s innovative mattress across Britain after receiving patent rights. After numerous local manufacturers failed to see the potential, the pair chose to take the do-it-yourself approach and began producing Marshall’s mattress themselves, launching what was then known as The Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company.

In 1911, The Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company rebranded itself and became what we know today as Vispring, The following year, its mattresses had become famous enough they were utilized in none other than the Titanic as well as The Queen Mary ocean liner. By the 1920s the company was expanding upon its use of natural materials by incorporating luxurious materials like silk and cashmere. In 1932, Vispring debuted the world’s first pocket-sprung divan called the Vibase.
