Helix: The Double Helix of Comfort and Code

Mattresses

When you think of the word helix, what comes to mind? The double-stranded helix model of a DNA molecule? Some people refer to it as a spiral staircase. Regardless, it’s a spiral shape, and mattresses are made from coils that are also spiral. Is this what the new Helix mattress is named after? Let’s stay on this DNA brainwave because your mattress is so important it might be sending messages to your physical body, just as DNA carries genetic instructions for building and maintaining your body. If you see the parallels, keep reading.

When you think about your mattress, you might only think about the surface. Is it comfortable or is it not? You might buy it based on a five-to-ten-minute trial and conversation with a mattress associate. Or, you read the description and reviews, then buy the mattress online. Hopefully, this wasn’t the case, and you went deeper. Maybe you had a true sleep expert who asked questions about your lifestyle, level of activity, what you do for a living, your sleep patterns, and assessed your body type. Then you made your decision.

While DNA can determine genetically if you will have sleep disorders, it can also regulate your sleep cycle, the length of time you sleep, and your sleep quality. But did you know that lack of sleep can alter our DNA? Without sleep, DNA’s ability to repair itself will be impaired, which can lead to DNA damage. Of course, genetics only determine part of how we sleep. We have to take into consideration environmental factors, age, and lifestyle. For more in-depth information on the way sleep can affect DNA, check out this article, “DNA Damage Linked to Sleep Deprivation.”

Benefits of the Helix Mattress

Now we know exactly how vital sleep is for our health. Which means our mattress plays an important role in repairing genes. So, let’s switch gears and talk about the new Helix mattress. Beautyrest Sleep Gallery just added a new line of Helix mattresses to the current mattress lines they still carry. While you can purchase the Helix mattress online, it might be better to go to your local sleep experts, Beautyrest Sleep Gallery, and find out if this mattress will work for you. You can check here for a general overview: Helix Mattresses. In the meantime, here’s a little run down on the new Helix mattresses.
