The material your sleep solution is made of has a great impact on the quality of your sleep. During the night your metabolism causes you to perspire. This perspiration is released as water vapor causing moisture in the air. Certain synthetic bedding and poly-fill materials will trap and hold this moisture in your mattress inhibiting air circulation.

Synthetic Material Affects Your Heart Rate
Without proper air circulation your nighttime temperature will rise and moisture buildup will increase elevating your heart rate, blood pressure, and causing shallower sleep. At times you may wake up in a sweat or wake up feeling tired because your heart was not resting while you were sleeping.

Synthetic Material Affects Your Breathing
Since synthetic materials produce a lot of moisture and take a long time to dry they provide the perfect environment for molds, mildew and dust mites. This can affect your breathing, especially for people with allergies.
