College students are a quintessentially sleep deprived bunch due to an excess of activities and studying. The average college student gets about 6-6.9 hours of sleep per night. Though that may not sound too far off from the recommended 8 hours per night, the accumulation of inadequate sleep for weeks or even just days can really take its toll. College students who do not get enough sleep are more likely to catch an illness like the flu or a cold due to a lowered immune system, more likely to receive at hit to their GPA, more prone to mental health needs, and more likely to suffer in athletic performance.
Adequate sleep is crucial for high success in college, but university dorm rooms and apartments are not the most sleep conducive environments. The dorm beds, loud neighbors, and grueling schedule can easily cause one’s sleep to suffer. Let’s face it – college dorm beds aren’t exactly known for being the most comfortable beds on the planet. Many are hard, lumpy, or full of springs you can feel. Luckily, there are simple upgrades that one can make to college bedding to increase the quality of sleep, leading to a student feeling better and achieving more success in the college world.
A mattress topper and a high quality pillow can help students fall and stay asleep. Toppers are an easy way to enhance the feel of a mattress. The SensorPEDIC MemoryLOFT mattress topper and pillow is a top-of-the-line combination featuring SensorFOAM breathable, ventilated memory foam. The 3″ topper is comprised of memory foam gel support beads and SoftLOFT fiber fill, making this topper pressure-relieving, supportive, and luxuriously comfortable. The pillow helps the sleeper stay cool through the night due to its iCOOL technology system feature and 220-thread count soft Nanotex cover, which offers moisture wicking and enhanced breathability. Like the topper, the pillow is made of a combination of memory foam and fiber filling; in this case, a 1″ memory foam core is surrounded by SoftLOFT fiber, allowing for support and comfort in any sleeping position. The topper and pillow also come with a duffel bag, which makes moving in and out of the dorm or apartment a cinch. The SensorPEDIC MemoryLOFT topper is available in either twin or twin XL sizes.
Whether you are a college student or have a loved one away at school, a high quality mattress topper and pillow like the SensorPEDIC MemoryLOFT combo is the ideal way to add comfort and support to a dorm bed. Though college may not be the easiest environment in which to get adequate sleep, falling and staying asleep doesn’t have to be as difficult with an easy upgrade to your bedding.
