The largest mattress ever made in Spain is 2,50 meters long by  1,05 meters wide and it’s been specially made by a company from Malaga for a basketball player who is 2,30 meters tall. And whichever its size is, every mattress needs a mattress cover to protect it from the dust or stains, and to lengthen its life. Velfont has been the company that has taken such as a special order.

This story has a main character: Kaiche Saad, the tallest man living in Spain. This 25 years old Algerian basketball player, smiles again after living in poverty for two years thanks to the solidarity of a family from Barberà del Valles who adopted him as one member of their family. However, a guy as tall as Saad needs a bed which suits him and he will soon have it. Besides the base and the mattress, the bed also needs other accessories such as a mattress cover. That’s what Velfont, within its entire range, will provide.

A mattress cover is always necessary to ensure hygiene and proper maintenance of the mattress. It protects the mattress against stains, dust and direct contact with external elements keeping it away from dirt and moisture and preventing from the rubbing it against the bed base. In this case, it is even more necessary to protect this mattress because a mattress of this kind would not be easy to replace. As always, Velfont is preparing a mattress cover with top quality fabrics, extraordinarily soft, absorbent and very elastic to facilitate and help to protect Saad new bed.

Velfont fiber pillows are made with a single channel hollow fiber which, unlike solid fiber, allows constant air circulation, making the evaporation of moisture easier and faster. The hollow fiber is a very hygienic and breathable type of fiber, which prevents the buildup of odors. Furthermore, it is light, fluffy and has a great recovery power.

The single channel fiber can be hollow, hollow siliconized and hollow conjugated siliconized. If it is siliconized, it means it has been specially treated with silicone which provides a soft and glossy touch. The hollow conjugated siliconized fiber, with which Velfont technical line pillows are made, is a spiral crimped fiber that it has a much greater recovery power and which provides more volume to the pillow.

Among the range of Velfont pillows there are pillows that combine microfiber and hollow conjugated siliconized fiber. The Microfibre Pillow is a medium-low support pillow made from great softness microfiber, ideal to sleep on our stomach or on our back. However, if we sleep on our side, the Velfont Microfiber Star pillow is better as it has a more appropriate medium-high support level and combines very soft touch with an appropriate support. Velfont Microfibre and Microfibre Star pillows are made with high quality fabrics and the best virgin hollow conjugated siliconized fiber. This fiber provides volume, lightness, softness, silk touch, great elasticity and recovery power, as well as being very resistant to wear and washings.

To get a deep sleep and a good night’s sleep is very important to maintain a healthy routine and avoid bad habits. It is essential to maintain, with few variations, a sleeping schedule: Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. It is recommended keeping this sleeping schedule stable, even on weekends. This way the body responds to routine and is prepared for rest. Reading or surfing the internet before going to bed is a widespread habit but can be counterproductive. The brain, instead of relaxing, can be stimulated too much and delay bedtime.

Having a shabby bedding equipment can impair sleep. It is essential to invest in a bed and in a quality mattress and choosing the right pillow according our sleeping position. It is an investment we will never regret and which will give us good long term results. Investing in our rest is a sure hit.

When going to sleep, it is important to have the room as dark as possible and avoiding lighting or noise devices such as the clock or alarm clock that can distract our attention and keep us awake. When you cannot sleep, it is useless to stay longer than 30 minutes in bed trying to sleep. Experts recommend doing something that requires no effort or concentration, as rocking in a chair and watching television to relax. Thus, the mind becomes calm and is ready for sleep. Finally, do not forget that it is highly recommended to exercise daily but not before going to bed because the body gets too active and needs more time to relax again. Ideally, practice any exercise about 3 or 4 hours before bedtime.

Clearly, a good rest helps us replenish energy. Rest and sleep are essential in our life, in fact, it is impossible to lead a normal healthy life if we have lack of sleep.

Therefore, it is important to review our habits of rest and sleep to make sure that the hours needed, so our body and our mind can recover the effort made during the day. Sometimes we think we sleep the necessary hours but we do not. This is why we must make sure that we sleep at least between 7 and 8 hours. We should also bear in mind that at certain stages of life it will be necessary to increase these hours of sleep because our bodies may consume more energy. After all, nature is wise and we have to learn to listen to the needs of our body.

Once we have gone through our sleeping habits, and taking into account that we sleep the necessary hours and in a proper environment with the appropriate equipment, everything should go well and we should not feel tired or fatigued during the day. When the body has obtained rest and sleep you need, again be prepared to perform at most one more day.

But what happens when, for no apparent reason, we feel too tired? This can be a symptom of existing health problems. It is, therefore; necessary to visit our doctor in order to take an analytical test and studies that could reveal whether there is any deficiency in our bodies that prevents us from feeling good. Sometimes the lack of any vitamin or mineral makes us feel low on energy. Once the doctor has performed the appropriate tests, he can determine what happens and which treatment we should follow. For example, vitamin supplements can help sometimes to recover energy. Anyhow, it is advisable to follow always any treatment under professional supervision.
