Printer FriendlyPregnancy Sleep Tips - Comfort for Two!
Pregnancy is a time to celebrate! It is also a crucial time to get high-quality sleep, which is usually a challenge for pregnant women. The Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort™ offers many advantages over other types of beds.
Following are pregnancy sleep tips and recommendations:
Sleep on your left side.
Nutrients are better directed to the baby, and the kidneys are more efficient, which reduces potential swelling in the hands, feet and ankles. If you're normally a back or stomach sleeper, sleeping on your left side may take time to get used to - you may need to change the firmness of your bed and/or invest in a new pillow.
The Sleep Number® bed is fully adjustable to your ideal level of comfort and support throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
Ease nausea and frequent night-time restroom visits.
Especially during early stages of pregnancy, nausea and visits to the restroom may interfere with a full night's sleep for both you and your sleep partner. Sleep quality and comfort are vastly improved on a Sleep Number® bed. Dual-adjustability allows you both to set your side of the bed to your preferred comfort level, and allows for fewer disturbances between the two sides of the bed.
Avoid painful pressure points.
During later stages of pregnancy, due to additional body weight, lying down can cause uncomfortable pressure points, especially in the hips and shoulders.
Sleeping on a Sleep Number® bed clearly reduces pressure points and increases the area of support, which makes for a comfortable rest and perfect night's sleep.
Get comfortable.
Each trimester poses unique challenges; getting comfortable in bed is a real challenge. Experiment with different Sleep Number® firmness settings until you are perfectly comfortable each night.
The benefits of a Sleep Number® bed go well beyond the months of pregnancy! With a new addition to your family also comes a challenge to getting adequate rest for both you and your partner. The comfort and support of your Sleep Number® bed will help you fall asleep faster and awake more refreshed.
