Hi Neighbours,

Are you tired of waking up with back pain or feeling restless after a night's sleep?

If so, consider an orthopaedic mattress to improve sleep quality and well-being.

But the question arises, "Is an orthopaedic mattress good for everyone?"

We'll explore the benefits of orthopedic mattresses and help you decide if they're the right choice for your sleep needs.

Orthopaedic Mattress vs. Normal Mattress
The term "orthopaedic mattress" often sparks curiosity, and rightfully so. While it sounds like a specialised medical product, it's important to understand how it differs from a regular mattress.

Regular mattresses may be comfortable but might not provide enough targeted support for back pain or sleep posture.

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to focus on aligning the spine and relieving pressure. They can help ease back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension, leading to healthier and more restful sleep.

Can Anyone Use an Orthopaedic Mattress?
You might wonder if orthopedic mattresses are exclusive to those with specific health conditions.

The truth is orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support your body's natural alignment.

It suits athletes, busy professionals, parents, or anyone who values good sleep. They are perfect for anyone seeking a more supportive and comfortable sleep surface.

Consider an orthopedic mattress if you want to wake up refreshed and pain-free.

What is an Orthopaedic Mattress, and How Does It Help Reduce Back Pain?
An orthopaedic mattress is not a gimmick; it's designed for orthopaedic health. It uses memory foam or latex to support your body's shape.

By aligning your spine, it reduces pressure on joints and muscles. This benefits those with back pain or arthritis. The support prevents sinking, avoiding discomfort.

Studies show it improves sleep quality and reduces back pain. Find the right firmness and type for your body and sleep preferences.

Beds4U: Your Destination for Orthopaedic Mattresses and Better Sleep
An orthopaedic mattress can be a game-changer for better sleep and back pain relief. It benefits anyone who values proper spinal alignment and comfort while sleeping.

The mattress focuses on supporting the spine and providing personalised comfort. It makes it valuable for all types of sleepers.

Whether you experience back pain or not, an orthopedic mattress can significantly improve sleep quality and overall well-being. It's a worthwhile investment for a healthier and more restful sleep experience.

At Beds4U, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep and offer a variety of orthopaedic mattresses to suit your needs.

Explore our collection of orthopaedic mattresses to find your perfect sleep companion today!

kia ora lovely people, friendly helpful neighbours, fellow kiwis

know just 'immediate' neighbours (my neighbourhood & surrounding) - not whole of NZ - and wonder *IF* this will even post...

anyone sick & tired, fed up - with messaging system on here? (*waves* to admin - who refused to post my message in early 2020, in the 'beforetimes' pre-covid - about getting out of the way of emergency vehicles)

I use the marketplace ALL. THE. TIME. - mostly to buy stuff - and/or pick up FREE stuff

(oh anyone who wants to donate CHILDREN's things - Nurturing Families - in Henderson - *awesome* charity doing great work (could use some more help, people - every time I drop stuff off, stressed out, exhausted.. a hour or two a week might make all the difference to them...

nurturingfamilies.nz...

(oh - anyone & like me, completely given up, years ago - trying to HELP - donate - to women's refugee OUT WEST - (not nationally - just OUT WEST - other people bring this up with me all the time - frustration - yeah - 2021 - I offered things, and HELP - my time, my energy - not even a response (oh except NO to the things, tried so hard again & again *NO*, thought just 2021, no - so many conversations - others bringing up same issue - 2024 - frustration) - that Nurturing Families *grateful* for this year

as a *survivor* of 'intimate partner' ABUSE - 'domestic abuse' whatever they want to call it now - this is particularly galling -(oh "causing annoyance or resentment; annoying") - trying to pass on the KINDNESS I was given - 2014 - (different country - oh NZ - you lead the way in so many areas - NOT *THIS* - came back 'home' - went (secretly, carefully) - to support group - the women *IN* women's refugee told me what really like - have to PAY to be there, limit of 6 week - PAY to be there, PAY for your own food - then out you go -

overseas - they knew I was just a visitor - stay as long as a i needed - food, shelter *security* - taken SERIOUSLY - comfort, KINDNESS of strangers - things - essentials - and a brand new pink fluffy dressing gown - wanted so much to bring it home - no room (oh don't worry bought myself one now) - wanted to pass on this *AROHA* to my sisters AND brothers - in need (yes, men, survivors too - )

my abuser - his *lies* about me still on my medical & mental health records - brought up every time - we were born same year - 1971, him in April, me in August - he died - aged 45 - liver & kidney failure in 2017 (yes, just guaranteed rejected right - admin? - just like my post about getting out of the way of emergency vehicles - start of 2020 - no way of contacting you, communicating with you - still got notification PINNED )

off track - sorry

standard disclaimer - just me being ME - fed up - not a drop of alcohol in me - do NOT do drugs - just fed up kiwi

trying to arrange yet another win-win -

I desperately need a washing machine -
someone here - moving - selling one -
let down by people today - completely forgot to arrange pickup -

TRY to read old messages - ADDRESS - PHONE NUMBER - NO NO NO NO - their messages to me, mine to them - see for a SECOND (literally) - then just reverts BACK to profile -

even MY messages - arggh!!!

just *REVERT* after a second - to the profile

even MY MESSAGE - nope, can't SEE what I *wrote* - oh THERE - for a *SECOND* - gone - reverts to my profile - argggh!!!!!

FED UP - so *FRUSTRATING* -

anyone else

oh - and admins - I am so FED UP - if you don't post this - (like you did not post Sher's post - oh she told me about it - looked for it - just got a text from her in Australia - )

she paid $2,000 to DUMP all the things trying to sell - donate - on here -

her entire 'nest egg' - to set up after move - so can look after her partner (move there for his health - not appropriate for me to share more) - except - people DUMPED things in her orange rubbish thing - mostly clothes - clothes - seriously people - DONATE stuff - please stop throwing away stuff that other people so desperately NEED

oh yes, I know - 3 separate posts - doubt admin will approve of THIS, right? - thing is - copied this - I know SO many people in the media - so so so many -

yeah I am of sound mind (not body) - not anything in my system - just me being ME - fed up kiwi

anyone else? feeling FRUSTRATED - fed up

messaging system on here

main point - sorry - side tracks - dumping stuff other people *desperately* NEED (preaching to converted - if you're here - already a good neighbour -

as a good neighbour - i KNOW this dumping stuff bothers you too -

(how do I know - HEARD you - I did not bring up (and not just one conversation, having a lovely time meeting the neighbours - always have - what I GREW UP WITH - my parents - knew the neighbours - (quietly) HELPED in community - still don't know half of what my mother did (and she did a LOT - as did my dad )

also heard - from so many people - OUT WEST (not nationally - just OUT WEST (emails to *people* who I know, knew me - 2020, 2021...) *frustration* with trying to HELP - donate things, help women's refugee

Nurturing Families - *clean* (obviously!) stuff - but i think would really appreciate a few more volunteers (please don't contact them - SHOW UP - closed now, Thursday 2pm - reopen on Monday - if *serious* about helping - show up (just park on the street - no parking really)

sorry rant over -

look forward to NOT seeing this here... (?) - oh if NOT here admins - *will* be shared elsewhere...

oh p.s. - no haters please. please please please

I have PTSD, since 2012 (delightful IBS, Anxiety, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, (depression under control right now) (why? oh not the 'intimate partner abuse' but certainly did not help...

- due to my HOUSING situation (oh Dellwood - no longer my address - trying to get BACK to Henderson since 2020 - since 2021 now have fibromyalgia (constant *pain* and EXHAUSTION - but right here, right now - no 'brain fog')

oh and my mum - (87, end of 2020 - just rescued what was left of my plants - got text from sister, mum in ICU - drs say unlikely to see end of 2021 - well now April 2021 - exchange of "i love you" text messages today

(learnt lesson from dad - Frank - never know when last words, what last words - 'watch your words' - words are *powerful*

so if you disagree - please, be respectful - watch your words, please, thank you, na mihi

*AROHANUI* - an abundance of love - is my intention with this -
