When it comes to our health, getting adequate sleep is one of the most important ways to help ourselves. In fact, according to the Sleep Foundation, adults between the ages of 18 and 64 need anywhere from 7 to 9 hours of zzzs per night, but about 35.2 percent of U.S. adults reported getting less than 7 hours. What if we told you the problem was actually your bed?
OK, so maybe the problem isn't your bed. Maybe you have sleep apnea or unexplained insomnia or are a very light sleeper. Either way, a bad mattress can't exactly be helping your sleepless situation. With the mattress industry making a massive switch to prioritize mattress-in-a-box style packaging, lots of sleepers are turning to Amazon for a mattress that's so good, you don't have to count sheep. Check out the top reviewed beds on Amazon. As always, the prices listed may fluctuate over time as products go on sale.
