For some, a bed maybe simply a place to crash after a long day but is it the right way to go for your health?

Research has shown that a good and proper sleep can re-energise your physical and mental state as opposed to a poor quality kip, that can not only weaken the body but also your somebody's productivity.

This March will mark National Bed Month - an annual campaign by the Sleep Council which aims to raise awareness about the importance of a good and comfortable bed and its longer-lasting impact on people's health and well-being.

And that is why now is a good time to consider getting a new mattress or maybe even a new bed.

There are several reasons to invest in a good mattress.

The right kind of mattress unsurprisingly improves sleep quality and can leave somebody feeling more positive and less stressed.

Inadequate or lack of sleep can lead to serious health repercussions like stress, anxiety and nervous tension.

And that in turn can lead to more serious health problems such as depression and other mental conditions.

Taking the time and effort to properly invest in a good bed or mattress that is the right fit for your sleep needs can keep you upbeat and more calm.

Then there's the physical side.

Have you ever crawled out of bed feeling aches and pains?

That occurs when you remain in a lying position for a lengthy amount of time. If your mattress no longer gives the proper support for your body, then areas such as your neck, spine and joints become misaligned during your sleep.

That will then lead to lower back pain, hip pain, and neck pain.

And then there's the issue of snoring.

There is nothing worse than trying to get 40 winks when somebody close by sounds like he or she is machine-gunning in a canyon.

A lousy mattress can lead to sleep deprivation, that occurs when lack of proper support during sleep leads to airflows being obstructed.

Or what about not letting the bed bugs bite?

Did you know that old mattress are a notorious breeding ground for dust mites?

Dust mites nest inside the foams of the mattress and feast off our bodies, tucking into things like dead skin cells and body oils?

Sharing your bed with these unwelcome little visitors can lead to allergies, asthma and other skin allergies.

So if you're experiencing things like pimples, dry skin, nasal congestion and a runny nose, consider changing your mattress.

"A good mattress makes sure with have a healthy sleep posture, supports our spines in all slumber positions and leaves us feeling refreshed," said Stephen Faint who is Director of Bedz4Zzzz.

"Apart from relieving us from stress, a good mattress can significantly minimise chronic aches and pain as well."

Most new mattresses are germ-resistant and eco-friendly which is the best way to avoid allergies.

Cleaning them often as well as using mattress protectors can help block the dust and deter allergic reactions.

"A good quality mattress is so much than just comfort", concluded Stephen.

"It's also about looking after your health."
