YOUR MATTRESS COULD BE RUINING YOUR MARRIAGE

ITHACA, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) – Watch out! Your mattress may ruin your marriage. According to a new study by a Cornell University sleep researcher, certain types of mattresses can cause a loss of sleep when more than one person is sleeping on the bed. Psychologist Jim Maas says the average person moves 65 times a night, and the movement can bounce around a bed partner if the mattress is too tight. Dr. Mass says most people don’t wake up when the bed shakes, but even slight mattress movements can reduce the amount of relaxing delta sleep by 20 percent, causing a person to be tired and cranky the next day. There’s no blanket solution to the mattress problem, but Maas says some options include using a larger mattress with pocketed coils and banishing pets and children from sharing the bed.
