From the moment we wake up, our days are filled with smart technology. In the mornings, many of us reach for our phones. We may turn on voice activated lights, check our calendar on our devices, and then ask Google or Siri what the weather report is before choosing an outfit. There are many devices that are designed to make our days easier, so it only makes sense that we examine what’s available to improve our nighttime hours as well.

A good night’s sleep really cannot be oversold. Sleep can affect our ability to perform throughout the day, including - but not limited to - our concentration, mood and even our physical health. Yet, it’s no surprise that many people struggle to get sufficient sleep. For various reasons, many individuals struggle to fall asleep and/or stay asleep, and wake up everyday feeling the negative effects of a less than restful sleep.

Some of today’s leading mattress companies are stepping forward with new, smarter mattress offerings featuring advanced technology designed to allow more personalized, adaptable comfort and, ultimately, help people get better quantity and quality sleep.

What mattress is best for improving sleep quality?

While a new mattress may help improve sleep, the truth is that there are a variety of factors keeping people awake at night, and different sleep preferences that also contribute to overall comfort. Here are some considerations when selecting your ideal mattress.

• What is your preferred sleep position: Back, side and stomach sleepers may prefer different mattress densities, allowing for the ideal level of comfort and support. However, mattress density can be harder to select for partners with different preferences or those who change positions frequently throughout the night.

• What is your preferred sleep temperature: Do you sleep hot? Wake up sweaty? If so, you should look for a mattress that promotes airflow and offers advanced cooling technology.

Your ideal mattress should address these considerations and more, offering a performance sleep system that is designed to be customized to your body. A smart mattress can take personalization and performance to an entirely new level.
