One of Nigeria’s leading manufacturers of mattresses, pillows and other bedding products, Mouka has launched a new campaign encouraging Nigerians to prioritize quality sleep for a better life. The campaign was launched recently in Lagos.
The company said it has the responsibility for educating its consumers on the importance of health and good life “as the owners of sleep in Nigeria”.
Sharing the company’s views on the new campaign direction, the Senior Brand and Innovation Manager, Akeem Audu said, “As the owners of sleep in Nigeria, the onus lies on us to educate our consumers. Our mantra is adding comfort to life, and we do this not only by providing top-quality sleep solutions but also by ensuring our consumers imbibe a healthy sleep culture. Our top priority is to secure Nigerians’ wellbeing”.
In his remarks on the Mouka campaign, Dr. Remilekun Durojaiye, Chairman of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy, Lagos Chapter, said that sleep, diet, exercise, and stress management are components of a healthy lifestyle. To sustain well-being, Nigerians are encouraged to practise the 3 healthy tips- firstly, exercise at least 150 minutes per week, secondly, eat a healthy diet containing fruits and vegetables while also drinking a lot of water and thirdly, sleep on high-quality mattresses and pillows like those made by Mouka.
“The benefits of a good night’s sleep are numerous to health and well-being”, said Dr Remilekun. Expounding on this, she provided more light on the benefits. According to her, studies have proven that sleep can boost immunity, as people who don’t get quality or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after exposure to a virus. In addition, sleep strengthens the heart as sleeping less than 7 hours per night increases the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Similarly, studies also show there is a strong association between chronic sleep deprivation and the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. The most obvious advantage of sleep is that it relaxes and rejuvenates a tired body, making it alert and active again for the next day’s work.
The Chairman of the Lagos Chapter of the NSP also sounded a note of caution to Nigerians about the hazards of a poor sleep culture. “Short-term impacts include difficulty concentrating, decline in mood, impaired memory and visible signs of fatigue. Long-term impacts of poor sleep are poor work performance, cognitive decline and heightened risk of dementia,” said Dr Remilekun.
Mouka is a proud member of the Dolidol International Group, with its head office in Morocco. The company has a wide range of top-quality products, including Royal Luxury Pillow Top Mattress, Wellbeing range of Orthopaedic mattresses, Wellbeing Mattress Topper and Bio Pillow made with breakthrough Bio-Crystal Technology. The brand is also exclusively endorsed by the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP) and the National Association of Orthopaedic Manual Therapists.
