Here are a few quick tips when considering a bedding purchase:

  • Don't rely on product labels to tell you which mattress will give you the right support.
  • Try mattresses out for at least 15 minutes. Don't be embarrassed about lying down on the mattresses on display. In fact, wear loose-fitting clothing when you shop for this precise purpose.
  • One manufacturer's 'firm' may feel harder than another's "extra-firm". The only way to find out if the support is right is to lie down and give it a try!

Protect your mattress from stains & allergens

  • Absorbent, breathable & waterproof.
  • Cool & comfortable to sleep on.
  • Dust mite barrier & allergen protection.
  • Cotton terry surface.
  • 10 year guarantee.

Investing in the right bed for you:

A good night's rest is essential to a good day, so a mattress is one of the most important purchases you make for your home. Believe it or not, out of the next 10 years, 3 of them will be spent in your bed! When comparing, remember that a "bargain" mattress and foundation are no bargain when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. Considering that you'll probably be using your bed more than any other product you own - including your car, TV, computer or cellular phone, the mattress you sleep on is one of the best cost-per-day values on the market. Invest in the best bed you can afford!

Comfort

No single mattress is right for everyone. This is why there are so many different types and thicknesses of padding on top. The padding is what creates the comfort level and feel of the mattress.

Gone are the days when a mattress had to be stiff-as-a-board to be good for you. It's interesting to note that recent studies suggest that a medium-firm mattress is more likely to improve back pain than a firm mattress. You'll sleep best when your bed helps you feel cradled in comfort. Today's top-quality mattress sets are designed with luxurious new cushioning materials and extra-soft surface treatments to create more of a plush, comfortable feel. Additionally, it is normal for some comfort impressions to appear in the first few weeks of sleeping on such a mattress.

Space

Cramped quarters can turn sleeping into a nightly wrestling match. A healthy sleeper moves anywhere from 40-60 times a night, including a dozen full body turns. You need freedom of motion while you sleep and to help you relax while you're falling asleep. If you sleep with a partner, be sure to select a queen or king size bed. Both are not only wider, but several inches longer than the standard "double", or full-size, which offers each sleeper only as much space as a baby in a crib.

Frames

It is very important to have the proper frame support. On queen and king size sets, you must have a heavy-duty frame with center support. Inadequate support can shorten the lifespan of a mattress set and the quality of sleep it provides. It may also void a manufacturer warranty.

Foundation

A good foundation is as important as a good mattress. The foundation takes a lot of the nightly wear and tear and contributes to the bed's overall comfort and support. Never put a new mattress on an old foundation. In fact, buying the mattress without its matching foundation may affect the terms of the warranty and could also compromise its level of fire resistance.

Warranty

Don't look to the warranty to tell you how long to keep your mattress and foundation. The warranty is there to protect you from product defects, not against the gradual loss of comfort and support. Keep in mind that while a sleep set may still be usable after many years, it's probably not giving you the good night's sleep you deserve.

Kids Bedding

As your child grows, sleep becomes even more important. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60% of children aged 4-12 years old complain of feeling tired during the day. Make sure your kids are sleeping on a mattress that is comfortable and supportive enough for them to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed!
