A 62 % Leap in Sleep Quality—Straight From the Lab

An Oklahoma State University study cited by Sleep Review Magazine found that sleepers who upgraded to a new, supportive mattress reported a 62 % jump in overall sleep quality and a 71 % rise in sleep comfort (Oklahoma State University study, Sleep Review Magazine) sleepreviewmag.com.sleepreviewmag.com  Participants also noted fewer aches, less stiffness, and better next-day energy—all from ditching worn-out beds that had averaged nearly 10 years of use.

Why a 62 % Boost Isn’t Just “Nice to Have”

Benefit	Measured Gain After Mattress Upgrade	Why It Matters for Daily Life

Four Hidden Reasons Your Old Mattress Is Killing Your Zzz’s

1. Sagging Support – Springs or foam that have lost resilience force the spine into a U-shape, triggering micro-awakenings.

2. Pressure-Point Buildup – Lumpy surfaces pinch the shoulders and hips, shortening deep-sleep stages.

3. Heat Trapping – Worn foams lose airflow, spiking core temperature above the ideal 67 °F.

4. Dust-Mite & Allergen Load – A decade-old mattress can double its weight in skin cells and mites, irritating airways all night.

• Thermoregulation = Cooler Core TempGel infusions and breathable natural fibers keep the surface in the sweet 60-67 °F band.
