To commemorate the 2019 World Sleep Day and its continued drive to add comfort to lives since 1959, Mouka Limited, a leading manufacturer of mattresses and foam products, in Nigeria, has opened another world class sleep gallery at its corporate head office, in Lagos.

The Ikeja sleep gallery is an addition to the seven others across the nation.

World Sleep Day is an initiative of the World Sleep Society to recognise sleep and its significant impact on health. This annual event focuses on the many burdens of sleep problems, as well as importance of healthy sleep at any age. The 2019 world sleep day is themed: “Healthy sleep, healthy ageing’.”

Speaking at a press conference, Mouka Limited Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Raymond Murphy, said quality sleep is a treasured function and one of the core pillars of health.

Murphy said when sleep fails, health declines, decreasing the quality of life, and this explains Mouka’s relentless commitment to providing the mattresses, pillows and other products to enhance quality sleep.

Corroborating Murphy’s claims, National President of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapist (NSP), Rufai Ahmed, said sleeping on a wrong mattress would alter the natural curvature of the spine, thereby, resulting in musculoskeletal problems and possible injury.
