There’s nothing quite like slipping into a cosy bed after a long day, but what if your mattress could do more than just give you a decent night’s rest? With teddy, you’re not just investing in comfort; you’re investing in your health, energy levels, and even the environment. Yes, you read that right—a bed that boosts your wellness and benefits the planet. Intrigued? Let's dive into the top four unexpected benefits of switching to teddy.
Improved Spinal Health
When it comes to spinal health, the quality of your mattress plays a more important role than you might think. Research shows that sleeping on an appropriately supportive mattress can significantly reduce back pain and improve spinal alignment. So, what does ‘an appropriately supportive’ mattress look like?
Well, it turns out that people who sleep on medium-firm mattresses report significantly less back pain than those who use mattresses that are either too soft or overly firm. This is because a medium-firm mattress strikes the right balance—it provides enough support to keep the spine aligned without adding excess pressure. On a mattress that’s too soft, your spine may sag, leading to poor alignment, while a mattress that’s too firm can create tension in your joints, causing further discomfort. Thankfully, the team at teddy understand this delicate balance, crafting what could be called the "Goldilocks" of mattresses—just right for your spine.
Our mattresses incorporate NATURFLEX™, a revolutionary memory foam infused with bamboo charcoal, to enhance spinal support. This innovative material moulds to your body, relieving pressure points and ensuring your spine stays perfectly aligned all night. With targeted support, NATURFLEX™ reduces spinal tension, helping to alleviate pain and promote a more restful, restorative sleep. Its unique properties also contribute to the medium-firm feel of popular models like the iDream, supporting healthier sleep postures and long-term spinal health.
Increased Energy
There’s nothing more annoying than getting a solid 8 hours of sleep, only to wake up still feeling sluggish. Believe it or not, the right mattress can be a game-changer for your energy levels. Sleep isn’t just about getting enough hours—it’s about getting deep, REM sleep that truly restores your body. According to the Sleep Foundation, the quality of your sleep is closely tied to your energy and mental clarity throughout the day.
That’s where teddy’s ZoneScape™ technology comes in. This unique feature divides the mattress into different zones, each tailored to support specific parts of your body. By offering firmer support where you need it most, like your lower back and hips, while providing softer cushioning for pressure points like your shoulders, ZoneScape™ promotes deep, restorative sleep. As a result, you wake up feeling more energised, mentally sharp, and ready to tackle the day (instead of hitting snooze repeatedly).
A Positive Environmental Impact
Okay, so the next impact isn’t physical-focused but it will give your conscience a pretty solid boost. When you shop with teddy, you’re not just investing in your sleep—you’re making a sustainable, ethical choice that helps the planet and the people who make these products.
At teddy, we’re all about sourcing responsibly. By 2025, we’re committed to working exclusively with ESG-rated companies. What does that mean? Well, it ensures that the people who make your mattress are treated fairly and that the environmental impact is kept to a minimum. Plus, all teddy mattresses are crafted in ISO9001-certified factories, meaning top-notch quality is guaranteed.
And it doesn’t stop there. We’ve partnered with the Trees That Count initiative, planting native trees throughout New Zealand with every mattress purchased. So, not only are you getting a dreamy night’s sleep, but you’re also helping to restore Aotearoa’s native forests.
Long Term Savings
This final benefit is for parents. If you have kids you’re always thinking long-term, especially when it comes to big purchases like a mattress. That's where our Junior Lux Premium Kids Mattress comes in to save the day—and save you some serious cash in the process! This mattress is designed to adapt as your child grows, meaning you won’t need to shell out for a new bed every couple of years.
For ages 2-4, the Junior Lux offers a firm, supportive side that’s perfect for lighter body weights. It provides pressure relief, breathability, and essential spinal support for your toddler’s growing body. Then, as your child grows, simply flip the mattress! For kids aged 5 and up, the other side features a medium-firm feel, combining NATURFLEX™ and ZoneScape™ technology. This site offers more contouring and support, adjusting to your child’s developing body to keep them comfy through their growth spurts. So, instead of buying multiple mattresses as your child gets older, our junior mattresses grow with them, saving you money and giving you peace of mind.
You Deserve a Better Sleep
In the end, choosing a teddy mattress is about more than just a good night's sleep—it's an investment in your health, your child's comfort, and the environment. Whether it's improving your spinal alignment, boosting your energy levels, or helping you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day, teddy mattresses are designed to make every night count. Plus, with our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing, you can rest easy knowing you’re making a positive impact on the planet, too.
