Restless Legs Syndrome: What to Do to Regain Sleep?

If you suffer from restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, you know that movement and applying cold can relieve the discomfort. You might get out of bed, apply cold compresses, and pace around the house, but as soon as you return to bed, the discomfort comes back with a vengeance! How can you reduce these unpleasant and painful sensations that delay your falling asleep?

The Benefits of Cold for Alleviating Restlessness

The analgesic property of cold makes it a valuable ally in combating the pain associated with restless legs syndrome. This observation led us to create a cooling mattress topper to alleviate the discomfort of RLS.

This was 10 years ago. We consulted Dr. Tamburini, a phlebologist, and together we sought a lasting solution for his patients suffering from sleep disturbances related to venous insufficiency and restlessness. This is how the Climsom mattress topper was developed, which has since gained a wide following and met the needs of people suffering from restless legs syndrome.

Daniel L.’s Review of the Climsom Mattress Topper:
« I am 61 years old and cycle 3,500 to 4,000 km a year, but that hasn’t stopped me from suffering from restless legs syndrome, to the point where I dreaded going to bed. Waking up several times a night and constantly searching for cool spots, my sleep was not restorative. My surgeon saw no need for surgery, so on the advice of my angiology specialist, I decided to purchase a Climsom mattress topper. From the very first night, I experienced real comfort. I set the temperature between 24 and 26 degrees, and finally, my nights are restful.« 

Why is the Climsom Mattress Topper an ideal solution for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)?

Long-Lasting Coolness Throughout the Night

With the Climsom mattress topper, you control the temperature of your bed yourself. Lie down on the topper and, from your bed, use the remote control to select your desired temperature. The Climsom mattress topper can be set as low as 18°C (64°F)! The cooled water in the thermocontroller is then circulated through the topper via a network of fine tubes, providing you with long-lasting and soothing coolness.

Precise and Programmable Temperature Control

Some people with restless legs syndrome find that their symptoms worsen with heat. The Climsom mattress topper allows you to adjust the bed’s temperature to the exact degree, helping to mitigate this risk. It can even be programmed to suit your needs.

Anne R.’s Review of the Climsom Mattress Topper:
« I suffer from nighttime restlessness in my legs. I set the device with a delayed start so that it begins two hours after I go to bed, at 25°C (77°F). Additionally, I’ve made sure to insulate the back area from the cooling effect. Using the mattress topper has significantly improved my nights. »

As Anne suggests, you can position your mattress topper so that it only targets your legs. Additionally, the Climsom comes in various models, including the Climsom Intense. With its compact size (70×100 cm), you can focus all the cooling on a specific area of your body. The Climsom Intense can be set as low as 15°C (59°F)! This strikingly cool temperature is especially appreciated by those suffering from restlessness.

Did you know?
Temperature affects the production of melatonin, a key hormone in regulating sleep.

Reduction of Nighttime Movements

The Climsom mattress topper facilitates falling asleep by allowing you to enjoy the benefits of cooling for as long as you wish. Professor Damien Léger from the Sleep and Vigilance Center at Hôtel-Dieu conducted a study on the Climsom mattress topper, with the following key results:

• Improvement in Night Quality: +58%
• More Peaceful Nights: -24.5% in nighttime movements
• Increased Sleep Duration: +23 minutes
• Enhanced Morning Energy: +48%
• Reduced Daytime Sleepiness: -33%
• Improvement in Daytime Quality: +19%

Dr. Guilhem Pérémarty, a sleep medicine specialist and member of the French Society for Research and Sleep Medicine (SFRMS), describes the Climsom as an « interesting (and completely harmless) alternative to medication treatments.

These results confirm users’ experiences, regardless of the severity of their Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Jeanne L.’s Review of the Climsom Mattress Topper:
« Personally, I have a mild case of Restless Legs Syndrome, which causes nighttime restlessness in my legs and arms. Thanks to the cooling effect provided by the Climsom set at 22 degrees Celsius, I fall asleep easily, as the cold has a calming and soothing effect. I am able to sleep through the night even during an episode. I’ve actually gotten into the habit of sleeping at this temperature every night… »

Nathalie’s Review of the Climsom Mattress Topper:
« I’m 37 years old and have been suffering from severe Restless Legs Syndrome for about ten years. No medication on the market provides long-lasting relief. In a moment of desperation, after a series of very bad nights and accumulated fatigue, I was browsing the internet and came across the Climsom concept! It has been a revolution in my life! I’ve had it for about a year now. I use the mattress at its coldest setting (18°C) and this year-round. However, to avoid being too cold, I only use half of the mattress to cool just my legs. The other half is carefully folded under the mattress. My syndrome hasn’t disappeared, of course, but I can say that the quality of my nights has improved significantly. The medication I’m currently taking (Rivotril) relieves me by about 40%, and Climsom has improved my sleep by about 30%. As a result, my nights are 70% perfect! »

In some cases, the involuntary movements of a person with Restless Legs Syndrome can also disrupt their partner’s sleep. This might lead to the partner sleeping in a separate bed or even choosing to sleep apart to preserve their own sleep quality. With the Climsom Personal mattress topper, you can enhance the quality of your nights and improve your partner’s sleep as well!

A Cooling Mattress Topper with Numerous Benefits

The Climsom mattress topper has many additional benefits, including:

• Improved Bed Hygiene: By reducing heat, it decreases nighttime sweating, which helps to reduce the number of dust mites.
• Optional Warmth for Relaxation: A great way to reduce stress and unwind.
• Safe Design: Your body does not come into contact with any electrical network.

Experiencing hot flashes? The Climsom has proven benefits for achieving peaceful nights.

User feedback confirms that the Climsom meets expectations and helps alleviate pain in most cases. If it doesn’t work for you, the Climsom comes with a « 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. » You can take the time to try it and see if it suits you. And, like Francine, you might soon find it indispensable.

Francine’s Review of the Climsom Mattress Topper:
« I have Restless Legs Syndrome, or restless sensations in my legs, especially when lying down. I use it specifically for my legs by setting it to a very cold temperature, which allows me to sleep properly without all the discomforts. It has simply changed my life! »

There are additional complementary solutions to alleviate restless legs. While the Climsom cooling mattress topper can help you get better sleep, acupressure can assist in improving your daytime comfort.
