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.
We got in touch with Sandeep Prasad, Founder, Wink & Nod, who spoke about
mattresses imbibed with Ayurvedic values which further result in good and healthy sleep environment.
Inspired by Ayurvedic principles, ayurvedic mattresses help in relaxing the mind resulting in a peaceful and healthy sleep. Here’s how they can help you sleep better and relieve stress too.
Provides support to the backAyurvedic mattresses are made from hundred percent natural
memory foam and also retains the benefits of a regular memory foam mattress. It contours your back to provide it with the best relaxation and support. Those who have desk jobs that require sitting for long hours, these mattresses work like magic in relaxing the back muscles and aiding the person to enjoy a night of deep and calm sleep. And a deep and calm sleep means a fresh morning and increase in work productivity.
Cool and breathableThe 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.
Relaxes and calms the mindThere are mattresses that come with an infusion of relaxing fragrances like lavender which further helps people to relieve their stress. Since Lavender has relaxing and calming properties, it works as a natural anti-depressant. The release of the incense from the mattress upon coming in contact with the body helps to relax the mind and creates an overall calmness. These mattresses also help new parents with their babies as lavender is known to relax newborn babies, thus reducing their crying and calming them down.
