“One third of one’s life is spent in bed.” A common saying in the announcement of mousse shares not only shows the importance of mattresses to sleep, but also shows the rigid demand of mattresses and other sleep products in the market. The 2019-2020 online sleep consumption report launched by JD platform shows that the highest consumption tendency is to “improve the comfort of bedding”.
Among the sleep products, home products such as mattresses constitute the most prominent part of the sleep economy, and the corresponding home enterprises have become an important economic entity of the sleep economy.

Home furnishings, health care products, scientific and technological products, audio software and other products compete on the same platform, how to choose their own products, and which products may be “IQ tax”?
Liu Yunzhou, a Beijing Beijing Tongrentang Co.Ltd(600085) doctor, said in an interview with shell finance reporters that if the auxiliary means such as sleep instrument, mattress, incense and white noise are used properly, they do have a certain sleep aid effect in principle, but if the product itself has problems or is used improperly, it may also aggravate the problem of insomnia. For example, if the current stimulation does not reach a certain intensity, it may cause mental excitement and lead to insomnia.
In addition, excessive sound interference will have a negative effect on sleep. Audio software is not suitable for insomnia caused by upset and dryness, nor for neurasthenic groups.
For mattress products with tens of thousands of yuan, Liu Yunzhou believes that many people now have problems in cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae. For the resulting neurological disorders and unstable sleep, latex mattresses and memory mattresses help to alleviate the tension of spine and improve insomnia. But he suggested, “if there are pathological problems in the body, you must go to the hospital for examination and determine the cause before you can treat insomnia.”
