Sleep Research

  • It was reported that in 2016, lack of sleep costs the Canadian economy $21.4 billion USD per year due to inefficient productivity in the workplace (Puzic, 2016)
  • The National Sleep Foundation reported that 92.0% of people found that a comfortable mattress is essential to high quality sleep (HuffPost, 2017).
  • A study shows that during the pandemic, over 5,000 Canadian respondents have been experiencing rise in clinically meaningful sleep difficulties from 36.0% to 50.5% (Robillard et al., 2020).
  • A sleep quality study illustrates that improved bedding systems can effectively release back pain, increase your sleep quality and decrease your stress (Jacobson, Boolani, & Smith, 2009).
