The year 2020 and 2021 witnessed conversations and discussions around the world on what we use, consume and who it affects the environment! Surprisingly these conversations were not limited to food and clothing! Starting on the path to better health this New Year can feel overwhelming. You might have thought of trying to make a big change in your diet, weight, or exercise, these might seem kind of drastic and unrealistic when you think to tackle them all at once.

But like any journey, making a lasting change in your lifestyle is a process that takes time and support. All it takes to get going is just one step. The key is to start slow and small, and these changes will then add up. Say you have to spend hours at the gym or switch to a strignet diet to improve health. While taking a big leap is a good idea, but starting with small changes and accessing what you need can make a big difference.

Whether you want to make changes in your surrounding or lifestyle, you would want to make the transition process more enjoyable. Making small changes works best because they are more realistic, easier to achieve, easier to maintain consistently, and less intimidating.

If your New Year resolutions included focusing on the changes that are practical for you, that is focusing on your health and making changes for a healthier lifestyle, we at Maine Bunk Beds can help you with the best! The following small changes may lead to a big, positive impact on your health:

Is sleep hygiene the culprit? There are many things in your life that may be keeping you from getting a good night's sleep. It can be because you are exposed to a large amount of toxic ingredients, from the food you eat to the bed you sleep in. Start by resolving your sleep schedule and work on making small changes like changing your bedding and switching to solid wood furniture.

Having hypoallergenic surroundings is linked to lower risks of heart disease, respiratory issues, anxiety, and more.

Reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, pesticides, and dyes: This is one of the good places to start! From body care, packaged foods to household cleaning products and what not, we are treated by the labels. However, we ultimately bombard ourselves with harmful toxins with everything we use for our convenience. What's more, the standard mattresses you find in the marketplace contain volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs which can give off toxins while you sleep.

You will want to give your body a rest as well as allow your skin to breathe, this is where switching to natural or organic mattresses comes to play.

Sleep more comfortably! After many nights of snoozing around and constant back pains, your mattress might have started losing the plushness, and imprints of your body have started to work their way from pillow top to bottom that you automatically roll to the middle whenever you tuck yourself in your bed.

Here is the deal: if you are considering conventional mattresses that ensure high-quality innerspring, we recommend giving it a second thought and accessing your options again. They might offer you with warranty but these emit harmful chemicals and VOCs that can be harmful to you in the longer run. If you want a uniform or flat support throughout you can check simply check the Handmade "Maine" Mattresses which are available in three variants: innerspring mattress, pocket coil mattress, and foam mattress. If you have the budget, you can also opt for our certified organic mattress.

Make more sustainable choices! Though the unprecedented health crisis we are facing is dominating, but it is critical to note it is just one of the crises we are facing today. Switching to a better-for-me and environment situation won't obviously make you a better person but you will be mindful about what your purchases that will have an impact on the environment.

Many people think 'I just have to sleep on it.' It is important to remember that non-organic mattresses and materials like particle boards, glue and paint used in bunk or loft beds both can take an immense toll on people and the environment. So each and everything we buy for our home has a wider impact on the world around us.

Invest in NATURAL, so to make sure you are part of the solution and not part of the problem!

These are just some of the main, key reasons why you should take the plunge, support your New Year's goal by investing in your health and overall self-care.
