Discover how to improve your rest with the change of season
As we mentioned before, turning the mattress over is one of those tasks that we usually do with the change of season. The reason is so that the mattress continues with the best conditions and to ensure that its wear is homogeneous. This will result in a quality rest, since turning the mattress is essential to keep it in good condition and prolong its useful life. Over time, the weight of the people who sleep on it compresses the internal material of the mattress. If this progressive wear is not distributed over the entire surface, malformations may appear in the material that will worsen the quality of our rest. Throughout the year there are 2 periods in which we recommend turning the mattress: the months of January and July. And other 2 when we will turn it over: April and October.

We are specialists in rest and we will advise you to extend the life of your mattress and advise you on the ideal mattress for you.
Recommendations so that autumn does not harm your sleep
As we approach the coldest months of the year, temperatures drop, the contrast between day and night increases and the environment is drier, as a result of more wind. This translates into more colds and a greater feeling of physical fatigue. But also, autumn can cause sadness, apathy or even depression. The latter is, above all, because during autumn sunlight decreases and we do less sport and fewer social and outdoor activities and we stop producing melatonin and serotonin. Therefore, it is key to take measures and prevent these seasonal changes are also changes in our lifestyle or our mood. Here are some tips to achieve this:
Pay attention to your diet
Food is closely related to our well-being, but when it comes to preparing our bodies for the changes of autumn, what we eat becomes even more important. You will need foods that provide you with: extra vitamins -especially vitamin C-, energy and boost your immunity.
Put in order
Trends such as hygge, the Marie Kondo method and Feng Shui put on the table how important it is for our minds to maintain order in your home. And if we take into account that with the arrival of autumn we tend to spend more time at home, this becomes essential. It is important to maintain order at home in particular and in your life in general. Because a messy room will generate the same discomfort as a disorganized agenda and with which you arrive late to any place.
Adapt your rest
One of the main consequences of aging is that melatonin production is reduced and this can lead to insomnia at night -especially during menopause-. Well, with the arrival of autumn the opposite happens, melatonin increases and, with it, the body has less energy. In autumn it is essential to sleep more and more deeply. To do this, it will be necessary to lengthen our sleep hours and adjust our breaks.
