Mattress to help you sleep soundly
WHILE the modern lifestyle introduced technological advancements that improve daily activities, increased exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) can harm health.
Chronic diseases are increasing along with cancer, with the most common being breast cancer.
According to the National Cancer Registry of Malaysia, one in 20 women develops breast cancer in their lifetime.
And although there are many causes, a Swedish research suggested that breast cancer and melanoma typically develop on the left side of the body, which may be a consequence of sleeping in beds having mattresses containing wave-reflecting metal springs.
Another research observed that breast cancer rates in Japan are lower than in western countries.
In Japan, futons are the usual bed of choice, whereas in western countries, like North America, spring mattress and box springs are more commonly used.
A futon does not contain metal components while a spring mattress is built with metal as the main material.
Researchers have been studying EMF in spring mattresses and its relationship to cancer risk.
As people spend a third of their lives sleeping on a mattress, choosing a good supportive is essential for high-quality sleep.
Studies show that sleeping on metal-based mattresses, such as spring mattress exposes the body to EMF.
Long period of exposure to EMF can be dangerous to health and can become a threat to the immune system.
This causes health problems such as headaches, stress, fatigue, sleep disorder or could even lead to mutations of cells, commonly referred to as cancer.
Spring mattresses made of metal components also act as an antenna, attracting a wide range of electromagnetic energy that can be harmful to the body during sleep, with exposures of about seven hours a night.
Choosing a metal-free mattress minimises exposure to EMF.
Mattresses made from 100% natural latex and free of metal have a long list of benefits for sleep due to their pure and natural characteristics.
Sleeping on a natural latex mattress replicates a natural sleeping environment as closely as possible.
