It is estimated that 1 out of 3 Americans have difficulty lying in bed because of back pain.

One significant reason for this is – your mattress. Beginning in 2001, virtually all national brands and off-brand retail mattress companies began utilizing lighter, cheaper foams designed to break down faster so they could sell more beds during your lifetime. In fact, you can spend up to $2000 for a retail mattress from one of these competing retail brands and it will begin to break down within 6 to 18 months. It will need to be completely replaced within 6 years.

As the mattress breaks down, the increased counter pressure can twist the spine by resisting the weight of the shoulders and hips. This results in several negative consequences. Poor support that is provided by the broken-down mattress contorts the back and body, resulting in bone and muscle stress, discomfort, and poor sleep.

This creates greater pressure point pain on shoulders, hips and, thighs, disrupting cell structure and constricting the veins. This pressure impairs circulation, forcing the heart rate to increase causing the heart to pump harder to keep blood flowing. This forces blood pressure to climb, further stressing your body.

Your body can toss and turn up to 200 times a night to relieve this painful counter pressure. The more restless you are, the less rest your body gets.

1. The Medicare reimbursable fiberfill mattress. The fiberfill creates a harder, unforgiving sleep surface, creating high levels of painful counter-pressure against the body.
2. An old mattress in which the comfort layers of the sleep surface may have broken down, creating valleys in the mattress. Laying on a surface like this creates painful counter pressure from the support springs caused by the loss of padding in the comfort layers.
3. A new retail mattress. Every major national brand and off-brand since 2001 has had their foam comfort layers redesigned to break down faster to sell more beds. In fact, you can spend up to $2000 for a queen mattress built by any of these competing retail brands, only to have a significant surface break down in less than a year. This causes painful counter pressure, disrupting sleep patterns and increasing their fatigue levels.

Whether it's a Medicare mattress, old mattress, or a new retail mattress, over time, the sleep surface will create high levels of painful counter pressure on tender shoulder and hip joints; contort the spine; restrict circulation forcing the heart to work harder; reflect body heat, causing the individual to sleep hotter. All of these factors severely disrupt sleep patterns which increase levels of fatigue. Talk to one of our sleep experts, who can describe the steps needed to determine if their body is contorted on an existing mattress.

Along with the mind, the body is weakening due to lack of exercise and age. As some people lose strength, their bodies become less capable of withstanding the excess counter pressure of an aging mattress, making restful sleep almost impossible.

In our early years, we were using a 2nd generation high density (H.D.) memory foam for our comfort layer that did not sleep hot, was fast recovering, unaffected by room temperature, and did not smell compared to the issues traditional retail memory foam was having. An independent case study was completed, involving a group of nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease who were randomly assigned to sleep on an H.D. memory foam mattress for a period of time. Researchers involved found these residents had a statistically greater reduction of agitation levels in comparison to other residents sleeping on a traditional innerspring or hospital mattress during the case study period. They concluded that this data helps to substantiate mounting evidence indicating individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia experience fewer symptoms of agitation when sleeping on a mattress containing H.D. memory foam (in addition to traditional drug treatments). This independent study validated the positive patient reports we have received from countless patients and their family members.

Since these early years, our MajesticBeds’ mattress designs have evolved with up to 3 patented comfort layers, along with our newly designed proprietary 2nd generation liquid gel infused H.D. memory foam, to address individual body size and other physical issues by providing pressure-relieving comfort, superior spinal support, unrestricted circulation, and body heat absorption to help promote a more restorative, restful night's sleep.

It is estimated up to 90% of the 4 million Fibromyalgia sufferers in the U.S. are women. Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain all over the body, sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress.

The most common symptoms of fibromyalgia can become worse in a chain reaction starting with the lack of sleep:

Disruptions in Sleep Patterns and Sleep Deprivation will cause...

• Increased levels of Fatigue and Tiredness
• Greater Pain Sensitivity and Stiffness
• Greater Temperature Sensitivity Including Hot Flashes
• Higher Levels of Depression and Anxiety
• Problems with Thinking, Memory, and Concentration
• Headaches and Migraines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that arthritis is the nation's most common cause of disability, while a national health interview survey found that around 46 million adults have self-reported arthritis. A study titled "Self-Reported Arthritis-Related Disruptions in Sleep and Daily Life and the Use of Medical, Complementary, and Self-care Strategies for Arthritis" found that over 30 percent of self-reported arthritics said falling asleep and staying asleep is one of their major limitations.

In another study physicians at the University of North Carolina concluded that improving sleep is an important factor in alleviating the pain and daily limitations associated with arthritis. Mattresses that improve sleep are just as important as the need for medications, natural remedies, and self-care measures intended to relieve pain in arthritics.

The average adult needs at least seven hours of sleep. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that up to 44% of the adults in the United States regularly get less sleep. Unfortunately, the less sleep, the greater the risk of developing high blood pressure.

Blood pressure directly responds to sleep loss, leading to a handful of negative side effects. Sleep deprivation is a reliable predictor of increased blood pressure levels. The results remained consistent even after being adjusted for age, race, sex, and presence of high blood pressure medication. In these cases, both shortened sleep duration and poor sleep quality contributed to the increase in blood pressure readings.

In part, sleep deprivation's effects on mental and emotional state shed light on the forces at work. Without enough sleep, the brain becomes more sensitive to negative thoughts and feelings, which causes an increase in stress hormones such as cortisol. This naturally causes a rise in blood pressure.

Managing stress levels and creating a better sleep environment are 2 of the key components for becoming proactive in managing blood pressure. Unfortunately, in creating a better sleep environment, the most overlooked issue disrupting sleep is the retail mattress, and it could be doing far more harm than good.

Here’s why. Beginning in 2001, virtually every national brand and off-brand retail mattress company began utilizing lighter, cheaper foams designed to break down faster so they could sell more beds during your lifetime. In fact, you can spend up to $2000 for a retail mattress from one of these competing retailers, and it will begin to break down within 6 to 18 months. The mattress will be broken down to the point that it will need to be replaced within 6 years.

A poor sleep surface disrupts needed sleep patterns, resulting in increased fatigue levels. Increased fatigue from sleep deprivation increases sensitivity to pain levels, creating an unhealthy, downward spiral that can adversely affect blood pressure levels.

Here’s how…. As your retail mattress comfort layers break down, the resulting increased counter pressure can twist the spine by resisting the weight of the shoulders and hips, contorting the back and body and resulting in bone and muscle stress, discomfort, and poor sleep.

Majestic Beds offers 3 designs for circulation issues combined with other symptoms and body mass providing durable sleep surfaces offering 3 levels of superior spinal support with adaptive pressure-relieving comfort, does not restrict circulation, and absorbs excess body heat to help promote a more restorative, restful night's sleep.

Four decades of medical research to offer the only pressure relieving and cooling layer technology used in medical and clinical applications.

For those suffering from night sweats, hot flashes, and body temperature regulation issues. The only answer is the Patented Technology found in Majestic Bed’s Ergo Gel Layer.
 
Body temperature regulation issues can be caused by many different circumstances such as hormonal changes caused by menopause, symptoms of arthritis, or side effects of chemotherapy treatments. As the body begins to heat up through the night, the heart rate increases leading to a spike in blood pressure. As this happens the body becomes restless, decreasing the quality of sleep.

The problem is, the retail mattress industry oversells, underperforming “cooling layers” and often charging a premium additional charge. A common practice is using a very thin layer of gel that works for about 15 minutes before heating up. The properties of retail memory foam do not absorb body heat but rather reflect it back into the sleeper. Once, the 15 minutes of cooling ends, your excess body heat stays on the surface causing the temperature to increase until you are so uncomfortable that you have to change positions to a “cooler” spot on the mattress. This leads to constant tossing and turning throughout the night. 

The patented technology found in the Ergo Gel absorbs up to 17 degrees of excess body heat. What does this mean? Body temperature regulation that works all night long. By designing a layer that works by absorbing heat, and dispersing it throughout the sleep system, we are able to eliminate the reflection of body heat. Providing a sleep surface proven to keep the body at a neutral temperature all night long. But don’t just take our word for it. See how Majestic Beds changed Kathleen’s sleep forever.

Four decades of medical research culminated into the patented technology used in our innovative Ergo Gel Layer in our MajesticBed™ sleep systems. Our Ergo Gel Layer’s unique pattern uses a non-toxic, soy-based gel that is incredibly durable, and biodegradable. The gel in the Ergo Gel Layer is poured into a soccer ball pattern of pliable polyurethane to give people of all shapes and sizes the perfect balance of adaptive support and comfort they need in a mattress to get a more restful, restorative night’s rest.

The excellent pressure reduction of this patented technology and shock absorbency characteristics have led to high-end pressure relief medical applications including wheelchair seating, surgical pads, as well as recovery room pressure relieving pad. In the last 6 years our mattress designs have evolved into a combination of comfort layers complimenting the top layer of Ergo Gel creating a cooling sleep surface that relieves chronic shoulder and hip joint pain. The Ergo Gel Layer neutralizes pressure by conforming around the hips and shoulder to minimizing pressure points while ensuring unrestricted blood circulation. The result is deeper, healthier sleep.
