A shining Golden Anniversary celebration with Uratex

admin — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 10:13:00 +0000

For a company to stay in business for five decades says much about the virtues it gives importance to. On top of that, it has become the number one foam supplier and innovator in the country today. It has also expanded its horizons beyond manufacturing foam products and has also become a major player in metal fabrication for car parts and textile manufacturing. Feats like these have proven that Uratex deserves the accolades and respect it is getting from the industry and its customers.

During Uratex’s 50th Anniversary Celebration with its industry partners and customers at Manila Hotel’s The Tent City, many gathered to send their well-wishes and at the same time spend the evening with fun entertainment, good food, and great company. Among the high-profile guests in the event was Senate President Tito Sotto III together with his wife, veteran actress Helen Gamboa.

The night was filled with fun and exciting performances from celebrities, such as OPM legend Rey Valera, who sang his classic hits and cracked some old timey jokes to ease up the crowd into the evening. Singer-comedienne K Brosas, on the other hand, got the audience cackling throughout her set with impressions of iconic singers and some hard-hitting punchlines. The Concert King Martin Nievera crooned his way to the crowd and urged them to sing with him. And Uratex’s newest celebrity endorser, Matteo Guidicelli gave an equally swooning serenade, and expressed his heart-felt gratitude on being a part of the Uratex family.

In between performances, Uratex featured short videos telling the company’s story and how they got to where they are right now. They showcased some of their innovations to prepare for the company’s future— by bolstering their capacity and advancements with the other industries they are involved with and by continuously providing Filipinos with affordable sleep solutions that could last for a lifetime.

Everyone cheered at the toast to Uratex, for it to continue its business for another 50 years, or more.

Are You Getting the Sleep You Deserve?

admin — Sun, 13 May 2018 01:36:00 +0000

When we think about health, sleep is usually not the first thing that comes to mind. Many people perceive it as a necessary part of their general lifestyle, but a few consider it as something that has a direct impact on overall wellness.

The truth is that getting the appropriate amount of sleep has a number of advantages and disadvantages to our general well-being. For example, did you know that getting enough rest can improve your immune system, memory function, and concentration? On the other hand, losing an hour of sleep from the recommended seven to eight hours reduces one’s capability to function well.

A worldwide statistic has identified the Philippines as the fifth country in the world with the worst sleepers. According to the results, the majority of Filipinos only get an average of six hours and 22 minutes of rest. This statistic is proof that sleep deprivation is a national issue, affecting about 50 million Filipinos in total.

Lack of proper sleep can cause circadian rhythm disorders, a condition where the body’s internal body clock is disrupted. Normally, the body regulates itself according to a 24-hour cycle of biological processes. The circadian rhythm acts as our internal alarm clock, telling us when to sleep and when to wake up. A circadian rhythm disorder happens when the internal body clock deviates from its natural cycle due to continuous changes in sleep patterns.

[post_ads]

There are many types of this disorder. One is called the delayed sleep condition, which causes an individual to stay alert beyond their normal sleep schedule. Its opposite is the advanced sleep phase disorder which causes people to sleep earlier than their usual schedule. Then there is the shift work disorder which causes irregular sleeping patterns due to a constantly shifting sleep schedule.

Sleep problems is an issue that affects the whole country, including the Visayas and Mindanao regions. The World Association of Sleep Medicine suggests several tips that can help improve sleep quality:

1. Exclusively using your bed for sleeping.

2. Refraining from consuming caffeine six hours before bedtime.

3. Eating a light dinner.

4. Limiting naps to 45 minutes.

5. Creating a comfortable sleeping environment. (keeping the room dark and well-ventilated or using the right mattress).

Establishing a sleep-friendly environment is something that is very important in achieving quality rest. One of the easiest ways to do this is by investing in a quality mattress. Studies have shown that even the slightest discomfort can affect the nature of our sleep, and settling on a mattress that doesn’t meet the needs of an individual can have a direct effect on them.

Thankfully, Uratex Philippines, a pioneer in providing innovative and quality sleeping solutions in the country, has taken it upon itself to focus on providing the public with the right mattresses that can take the quality of sleep to the next level. Now that it is celebrating its 50th year in the industry, the brand is setting its sights on the VisMin region as part of its mission to improve the quality of sleep of Filipinos.

Visayans and Mindanaoans are particularly known to be dedicated to prioritizing quality of life. Teodoro A. Agoncillo one of the pre-eminent Filipino historians of the 20th century once stated that Visayans put focus in investing on the right things if it means they get to enjoy the finer things in life. Mindanaoans, on the other hand, follow the mantra “home is home”, proof that they are willing to prioritize things that can make their lifestyles better.

Given these, doesn’t it make sense to put the effort in prioritizing something as important as sleep? Something as simple as switching to a quality mattress like the ones offered by Uratex can have a big impact on one’s way of living by allowing them to enjoy more things, live a healthier lifestyle, and get the energy to appreciate life in general. And though Filipinos need more education on the importance of sleep, the country is at least treading the right path by celebrating the subject through events like World Sleep Day and meaningful partnerships like the one between The Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine (PSSM) and Uratex Philippines which joined forces to further advance the education of the public about sleep.

Proper understanding and awareness about the importance of sleep still have a long way to go in the Philippines, but with the support of thought leaders and the open mind of the public, we are a few steps closer to getting the sleep we deserve.

Uratex celebrates “World Sleep Day” with awareness

World Sleep Day – Uratex

Sleep is a necessity that most of us neglect or don’t give importance to. We mostly tend to sleep with irregular sleeping hours which studies shown that sleeping affects our daily lives. Recently, Uratex organized this “World Sleep Day” conference to create Awareness about how sleeping is important. Below is a more detailed explanation from Uratex:

Press Release:

Sleep is a very important part of our lifestyles. Did you know that an adult should be getting about seven to eight hours of sleep every day to properly recharge? Getting an appropriate amount of rest has a number of benefits including improved memory function, a stronger immune system, better concentration, and even weight loss. On the other hand, losing an hour of sleep from the recommended number of hours significantly reduces an individual’s ability to function at their maximum capacity.

Humans generally spend 1/3 of their lives sleeping. Moreover, it is an activity considered to be just as important as following a healthy diet and exercise. On the other hand, trivia shows that humans are also the only mammal that willingly delays sleep.

True enough, getting proper zzz’s is something most of us often take for granted. A shocking worldwide statistic has ranked the Philippines as the fifth country with the worst sleepers, with individuals getting an average of only six hours and 22 minutes of sleep. Sleep deprivation in the country affects about 50 million Filipinos, making the problem a national issue.

Regular loss of proper sleep can lead to circadian rhythm disorders. The circadian rhythm is a term that refers to a person’s internal body clock that regulates the 24-hour cycle of biological processes. It’s the body’s very own timer that triggers the body’s natural sleep and wake cycle. For adults, a dip in energy commonly occurs in the middle of the night and after lunch time. Noticeable big dips on this routine commonly means that an individual is sleep-deprived and is not getting enough rest.

Circadian rhythm disorders happen when there is a mismatch on the internal body clock due to the continuous disruption of sleep patterns. One of the most common disorder falling in this category is delayed sleep, which causes a person to feel tired at a later time than the usual. Individuals with this kind of disorder are the night owls, or those who feel more productive, alert, and creative late at night.

The opposite of this is advanced sleep phase disorder which is characterized by regular early bedtimes (6PM to 9PM), a habit that is very common among the elderly. In the Philippines, however, one very common sleep problem is shift work disorder caused by irregular sleeping patterns from night shifts. Common among business processing outsource (call center) employees, the disorder arises when the circadian rhythm cannot properly adjust to changing sleep patterns. Shift work disorder can often lead to problems like excessive sleepiness and insomnia.

But what makes a good sleep? According to the World Association of Sleep Medicine, there are a number of ways one can do to improve their sleeping patterns. The following are tips you can follow:

1. Refraining from using your bed for regular activities (e.g. eating, working, etc.)

2. Avoiding intake of caffeine six hours before bedtime.

3. Eating a light meal for dinner.

4. Limiting naps to not more than 45 minutes.

5. Creating a comfortable sleeping environment (using the right mattress and bedding, keeping the room dark and well-ventilated).

With sleep deprivation being a real concern in the country, several big names in the industry have jumped into action to help solve the problem. Among the leaders in the pack are The Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine (PSSM) comprised of physicians and sleep doctors, and the World Sleep Society, an association of sleep specialists focused on advancing sleep health worldwide by encouraging education and promoting sleep-focused research. Partnering with them is Uratex, The Sleep Specialist, the leading manufacturer of innovative sleep solutions. The company has been focused in creating quality sleep innovations like specialized mattresses and pillows that can help improve an individual’s rest.

These names have been proactive in furthering sleep education and awareness in the country. This month, they are coming together once more for World Sleep Day, an annual event that celebrates sleep importance and tackles issues like better sleep education. Organized by the World Sleep Day Committee, the event will be held on March 16 and will feature talks on better prevention and management of sleep disorders.

Sleep deprivation should be considered a major national issue that should be swiftly addressed. With proper education and the support of thought leaders and action takers in the industry, the country is taking a progressive step towards achieving proper zzz’s.

Uratex promotes the value of sharing moments together

admin — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 03:39:00 +0000

[post_ads]

Filipinos enjoy cherishing the times we share with family, friends, and loved ones especially during the holiday season. For the majority, the best memories are created inside the bedroom where family members bond or catch up with each other before they call it a day.

Giving salute to the importance of family traditions, Uratex, who is celebrating 50 years this 2018 unveiled a Christmas-themed video to celebrate family memories made inside the bedroom, their common area of solitude, and the bed, a central and key witness to that celebration.

The video starts by showing a young man longing for the love and company of their mother, supposedly an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). He has not seen her as she has not come home for the past three years working overseas. Not a day passes that the young man misses his mother, where he shared many fun and memorable moments with her while at his bedroom during his childhood. And now that Christmas is near, the longing is felt more than ever.

Meanwhile, the young man’s elder brother also does his best to overcome his yearning for their mother’s presence by focusing all his strength on his job. He silently cares for his brother’s needs and sees to it that his younger brother continues to strive to be the best individual that he can be. But like his younger brother, he misses his mother as well.

Alas, their wish was granted on Christmas Day when, as they try to celebrate Christmas just like in the previous years without their mother, they were pleasantly surprised with her arrival. The joy in the younger brother’s eyes was evident with their mother’s presence in a special time such as Christmas, finally, as one family.

For the elder brother, the arrival of their mother was the perfect time to tell her that he is now ready to take on the responsibility of caring for the family’s needs. With their mother’s long-awaited homecoming, it will be the perfect opportunity to create new memories again together—as one family.

Uratex Philippines, the undisputed leader in the foam manufacturing industry believes that family love and comfort are always at the forefront in the tradition of selfless care and service to the Filipinos. Uratex believes that family love, caring and looking out for the welfare and greater comfort of each other is vital. Each Uratex bed provides ultimate comfort to promote a healthful and relaxed sleep night after night. This helps invigorate the body so it will remain fit and fully charged to make each family member ready to face life’s daily challenges.[post_ads_2]

For Uratex founders Robert and Natividad Y. Cheng, the products that they’ve developed over the past five decades have been uncompromising when it comes to celebrating the beauty of love and life. Each mattress that rolls out of the company’s manufacturing facilities is the result of the Chengs’ vision to share comfort with every Filipino. With constant innovation, Uratex products remain synonymous to rest and relaxation, love and comfort.

After their mother’s arrival, what special Yuletide celebration awaits the two sons?
