Deep sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep or delta sleep, is the most restorative phase of the human sleep cycle. It plays a crucial role in a person's physical health and well-being because it is during this phase that the body repairs and regenerates itself.

During deep sleep, the brain produces slow, high-amplitude waves called delta waves. This stage of sleep is associated with memory consolidation, tissue growth and repair, strengthening the immune system, and energy for the next day. In addition, it is during deep sleep that the body releases growth hormones.

It is important to note that getting enough deep sleep is essential to feeling rested and rejuvenated the next day. The quality of the mattress one sleeps on can greatly influence one's ability to achieve and maintain this deep sleep phase.

For example, our Alba Original mattress , with its 100% natural latex top, offers the perfect balance between comfort and support, helping sleepers achieve and maintain deep sleep. Its design reduces pressure points, allowing optimal blood circulation and minimizing micro-awakenings, which promotes a smooth transition to deep sleep and helps you stay there longer.
