Q1: Do I need a mattress protector?

A: In my opinion, a mattress protector is not necessary to experience the cool comfort of the Heim Nest mattress.

It is an optional mattress accessory. However, many sleepers benefit from using one. A mattress protector not only prevents dirt and moisture from staining and damaging your mattress but also keeps potential allergens out.

Q2: How can I get rid of the new mattress smell?

A: When you open your new Heim Nest memory foam mattress, you may notice a slight odor. This is due to the release of odors that may have been trapped in the tight protective packaging.

If you notice an odor, we recommend that you allow your gel memory foam mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for at least a few hours before covering it with sheets.

Q3: What mattress foundation should I use for memory foam mattress?

A: Memory foam mattresses can fit all frames and bases, such as bed frames, box springs, and adjustable beds. However, I believe they tend to perform better on slatted or solid bases. Slats are ideal because there is often plenty of air circulation underneath.

Q4: What is ice silk fabric?

A: Ice silk is a fabric crafted from cotton linters and wood, offering an exceptional blend of 70% viscose filament and 30% nylon filament. This rayon-based material, composed of viscose, viscose filament, and polyurethane fiber, is designed to keep you cool and comfortable. Its unique properties include excellent air permeability, automatic humidity control, and a slow temperature rise under direct sunlight. Additionally, it possesses anti-mildew, anti-insect, and non-radiation characteristics. Therefore, the cooling mattress cover made of ice silk is very suitable for pregnant women 2 months. Starting from the eighth week, the heart rate of pregnant women will increase by 20%. A higher heart rate increases metabolism, which in turn slightly raises the body temperature.

Q5: Is the cooling mattress suitable for pregnant women?

A: During pregnancy, a woman's average body temperature is typically 0.1–0.2°F (0.2°C) higher than her baseline body temperature. Therefore, the Heim Nest mattress cover is made of ice silk fabric, providing an additional cooling sensation. A gel memory foam mattress can help alleviate pregnancy night sweats by balancing body temperature and ensuring comfort for pregnant women at night.

Q6: Is this mattress fiberglass-free?

A: Yes, the Heim Nest memory foam mattress is fiberglass-free. We prioritize the health concerns of our customers and ensure that we do not use any materials containing fiberglass in the production process of our mattresses, including our flame-retardant mattress covers. The fiberglass-free mattresses are certified by CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX Standard 100. This certification ensures that our mattress foam and fabric covers are free from harmful substances such as formaldehyde, ozone depleters, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals.

Q7: Is a hard or soft mattress better during pregnancy?

A: It is best to choose a mattress with medium firmness when pregnant. The Heim Nest medium firm memory foam mattress will provide pregnant women with the ideal balance of comfort and support. Firm mattresses can be too hard, while soft mattresses may not provide enough support for your baby bump.

Q8: Is this medium firm mattress suitable for side sleepers?

A: Yes, it is. The medium-firm mattress is generally good for people who sleep on their side. As side sleepers often put pressure on their hips and shoulders, a medium firm is needed to conform to the contours of the body's side and keep the spine aligned. On the firmness scale, medium to medium firmness is generally considered best for side sleepers, which is a 5-7 firmness level. The firmness score of the Heim Nest mattress is 6.5, making it ideal for individuals who need to sleep on their side due to conditions such as pregnancy, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and heart failure.

Q10: What is the best sleep position for pregnant women 20 weeks?

A: For pregnant women, adopting the correct sleep position is crucial, especially during the second trimester and third trimester. Doctors recommend that pregnant women sleep on their side, with the left side being the ideal position for gravida. This lateral posture optimizes blood flow from the inferior vena cava (IVC), a major vein running parallel to the spine that carries blood to the heart and ultimately to the baby. It can also relieve pressure on vital organs such as the liver and kidneys, enabling them to function more efficiently. This can alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as swelling in the hands, ankles, and feet.
