Vlair alleviates the menopause Most women are faced with the menopause shortly after they reach the age of 50. Significant changes in hormonal make-up follow their last period. One of the most important ones is a decrease in oestrogen levels, which results in lower production of melatonin, the hormone that enhances sleep. 8 out of 10 women experience hot flushes during their transition. A Vlair mattress can significantly alleviate these complaints! For about eight out of ten women, there is another, completely harmless, but nonetheless annoying consequence of the menopause: hot flushes. Our brain’s internal thermostat, the hypothalamus, can get quite confused due to these hormonal fluctuations. Although the body’s temperature might be utterly normal, the thermostat may still think the body is too hot and then try to deal with this faulty calculation. Our bodies do this by widening the blood vessels in the skin, mainly in the face, neck and chest and getting rid of the supposed ‘heat’ by excess sweating. A Vlair mattress can significantly alleviate these complaints! Because it cools the body through its built-in ventilation, Vlair always achieves a pleasant temperature. The Bambootex cover which comes with every Vlair mattress absorbs moisture even more, as bamboo is an entirely natural product that can absorb up to four times its own weight in moisture. The nasty and annoying thing is that this also disturbs sleep. Hot flushes give us the feeling of being much too hot. We wake up bathing in sweat. One or more times a night we get out of bed. It’s no fun. The danger is that this will turn into a vicious circle: waking up more often, getting exhausted, barely making it through the day, feeling restless, sleeping even less well, and so on.
