The secrets behind Ayurveda mattresses and why you should invest in them

Stress is one of the major factors responsible for the lack of sleep among people today. According to Ayurveda, an excess of Vata (the principal force of motion in the body and mind) causes stress. An unhealthy Vata dosha could result in the movements becoming erratic, excessive or decreased. When an excess of Vata is combined with a hyperactive mind, it results in the formation of stress, making it extremely hard for the mind and body to relax and fall asleep.

Cool and breathable
The second layer which is the natural latex foam comes with pin core holes. The pin core holes provide the much-needed air circulation to the mattress, making them breathable and cool. This ensures that no one wakes up sweaty during the night because of sleeping hot. It also provides the ideal support that the lower back requires. The responsiveness and bouncy nature of the layer ensures a calm sleep for your body by eliminating the stress from the muscles of the lower back.
