I’m training for a marathon — here’s how a good mattress can boost recovery

A woman wearing a sports bra sleeping on her front with arms overhead on mattress for recovery and a sports bag and skipping rope next to her.

From contrast therapy to expensive massages and fancy tech like compression boots, there's plenty of trendy workout recovery methods doing the rounds on social media in the peak of generation wellness. But there's one method that often gets over looked — getting good sleep. I'm training for a marathon, and I can't understate the importance of quality rest.

So, it's essential you get the rest you need, and setting yourself up for quality rest begins with choosing the best mattress for your body type and sleep style.
