Labour Day Monday is all about rest and relaxation and quality time with the family before jumping into the busy fall season. For some of us, this may be our last opportunity for a while to catch up on some much needed sleep. And as we all know, getting enough rest is essential to good health.

According to the American ChiropracticAssociation (AMA), there are a number of ways to ensure a better quality of sleep, including: 

(1) regular exercise; 
(2) limiting your intake of caffein; 
(3) avoiding cold water during the night so as not to disrupt the digestive system; 
(4) eating an early dinner; 
(5) getting into a regular sleep routine; and 
(6) keeping your bedroom at a cool, comfortable temperature with as little light as possible while you're trying to sleep.

In addition to these tips, they also stressed the importance of finding a comfortable pillow and mattress. Unfortunately, we can't help with finding the right mattress but we do offer a number of high-quality pillows that are sure to maximize your comfort level while sleeping.

Our pillows stuffed with organic shredded rubber (made by Pure Rest) are a great choice because you can move the stuffing, just as you would a buckwheat-fill pillow, to create just the right amount of support for your head and neck.

Pure Rest also takes great pride in their pillows stuffed with certified organic wool, which we carry in various weights and sizes to suit your preferences. Light fill is recommended for back sleepers, medium fill for side sleepers, and heavy fill for larger folks or for those who prefer a bit of a lift.

Whether you opt for the organic wool or organic rubber filling you can sleep easy knowing that your head is resting on a chemical-free pillow designed with your health and comfort in mind. Wishing you and your family a great holiday Monday and a great start to the fall season filled with lots of good quality rest!
