What to Look for in a Bed
A bed is a large piece of furniture that people sleep or rest on, traditionally comprising a rectangular framework supporting a mattress (or formerly, a fabric case stuffed with a soft, springy material). It may be adorned with sheets, blankets and pillows. It may also include a footboard and headboard. Beds come in a variety of materials and designs, and they can be used for sleeping, eating, storage and other purposes.
What to Look for in a Bed
The best beds provide a combination of comfort, support and durability. The materials that make up a bed can have a huge impact on how well you sleep, whether or not it is healthy for you and your partner, and how long it will last.
Comfort layers: a mattress’s comfort layers are designed to cushion and contour to the body, while keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night. They can be made from memory foam, latex and other materials. The thickness and feel of the comfort layer determines a mattress’ firmness and whether it is plush, medium or firm.
Zoned support: a mattress’s zoned support design distributes weight evenly to minimize pressure on key points, including the shoulders and hips, while promoting good posture. This feature can be a great benefit for people with chronic pain and back problems.
Bounce: a bouncier mattress is easier to move around on and more responsive to shifting positions. However, a mattress that is too bouncier can cause discomfort for some people.
Edge support: a mattress’s edge support is important for both stability and safety. A high-quality edge supports the natural curve of your spine and prevents sinkage. It is also more durable than standard mattresses and will not sag over time.
Sex: a mattress’s sexability depends on its ability to provide adequate pressure relief and traction while providing moderate contouring. This can help improve sex performance and reduce soreness. A mattress with a slight bounce and moderate contouring can also improve sex for people with lower back pain.
Treatment for Binge Eating Disorder
The most effective treatments for binge eating disorder (BED) are psychological and dietary therapies that address the underlying issues that contribute to the condition. These therapies can involve unlearning diet beliefs and learning a range of coping skills, as well as developing a healthy relationship with food. Many patients also receive psychiatric care, which can help manage mood disorders and co-occurring conditions that often occur with BED.
