Insomnia is a sleep disorder that manifests itself in disturbed falling asleep or sleep progression. Usually you can’t fall asleep at night, and when you do fall asleep, you wake up early and can’t fall asleep again. Insomnia is also manifested by frequent night waking.

Before you start looking for old wives’ advice to help with insomnia, or before you see a specialist, think about whether you have a suitable environment for sleep. It’s not just about room temperature, perfect darkness or silence, it’s about the bed, mattress and grid.
One of the most comfortable beds today is the boxspring bed. In the past, you could only sleep on them in the most luxurious hotels. Today, you can get them for your home. What makes them unique?
The base of the bed consists of a boxspring. It is a solid frame filled with springs. The springs act as a grid and help to distribute the pressure exerted on the mattress. Boxspring beds are higher than conventional beds, so they are comfortable to lie down in, but also easy to get up from. The height of the sleeping surface can be up to 60 cm above the ground, which is appreciated not only by seniors. It depends on the thickness of the mattress.
Since the main sleeping mattress is placed on the spring base and a third thin mattress or topper is placed on top of it, the boxspring bed boasts a system of 3 mattresses that perfectly follow the shape of the human body, offer the necessary support and perfectly distribute the pressure. Therefore, you can sleep soundly on the bed without the need to change sleeping positions.
Another element that contributes to a comfortable rest is the high upholstered headrest. It protects you from the cold permeating the wall behind the bed, gives you a feeling of security, and if you like to read in bed, you can lean on it comfortably.
Choose a bed with regard to the size of the bedroom. Don’t forget to take your health into account.

The grid in the bed isn’t just to keep the mattress from falling to the floor or into the storage compartment. It helps the mattress to distribute pressure, but it also brings plenty of fresh air to the mattress. This means that mould doesn’t form and dust mites don’t breed in the mattress.
Thanks to the elasticity of the grid, the mattress retains its anatomical and stable surface. The greater the resilience of the grid, the better protected your mattress is.
The grates are available in several designs:
