Put Your Money in Your Mattress

Judy

Need a new mattress but don’t have the “scratch?  Here’s an idea:  Just this morning I was listening to the radio while driving to gotomattress.com.  I heard an advertisement for a bank making fun of one of its competitors for requiring a minimum balance of ten thousand dollars  to qualify for free checking.  The competing institution was crowing that they required only fifteen hundred dollars tied up with them for “free checking.”  What gall!!!  Here’s the plan.  Find a bank that offers genuinely free checking.  There are at least two in my town and probably more.  Close your accounts at Robber Baron Bank & Trust, grab that fifteen hundred bucks and  invest in a new set of bedding!  I promise you it’ll be worth every penny.  No longer will you toss and turn all the night long, worrying how to maintain such a ridiculously large balance, just to avoid a couple hundred dollars in bank fees each year.  For only $1228 (less than 17 cents a night) you could be luxuriously sleeping like a “bankster” on a top of the line,  Simmons Beautyrest Classic Recharge, Tysons Corner Plush Pillow-top, queen size mattress and foundation, loaded with five inches of premium, high-tech Aircool (no sweat) upholstery layers, on nearly 800 high carbon steel individually pocketed coils, for unparalleled comfort and support.  At that price, you’ll have enough left-over loot to treat yourself to some real swell sheets.  You’ll feel like you own the bank!  Or go for broke, and indulge in roomy king size set for just $1578 (hundreds more in stores).  Those are complete prices, (no hidden fees like the banks) delivered for free, and tax-free.  And unlike most E-commerce sites, we’ll actually talk to you! Call us at (1-800) 385-8319.  Life is too short to spend a third of it on an old, sagging, lumpy mattress.

Love Memory Foam But I Sleep Hot!

Linda called and wanted information about our Memory Foam Mattresses.

Mattress ShoppingShe loved the TempurPedic Mattresses but had read so many reviews about other people sleeping hot.  She sleeps very hot at night and is afraid to purchase for that reason.  Linda likes the feel and support of Memory Foam Mattresses, but wanted to know if there were other options available other than TempurPedic.

We have two Memory Foam mattresses that we recommended Linda try in a store in her local area.  Both mattresses have addressed the problem of sleeping hot at night and should meet her needs.

The first is the Simmons ComforPedic Advanced Memory Foam MattressSimmons has addressed the sleeping hot problem with their Advanced Memory Foam product.  The Simmons ComforPedic mattresses sleep cooler and have a great warranty.  Linda liked the feel of the TempurPedic Cloud so we recommended she try the Simmons ComforPedic Respiro Plush Mattress.  The Simmons ComforPedic Respiro Mattress has a soft feel like the TempurPedic Cloud Mattress with the supportive feel that memory foam mattresses offer.

Facts You Need to Know About Sleep!

Sleep can be broken down into 2 major classifications and 5 stages.  The 2 stages are REM and Non-REM( rapid eye movement). The type of mattress you are sleeping on affects the amount of quality sleep you are getting. You will see why it is so important to sleep on a great mattress and improve your quality sleep!

First, let me give you some examples of Non-REM (stages 1-4).

Sleep TipsStage 1 is  transition from wakefulness to sleep, we call this the lights are on but no ones home.  Have you ever been reading a book finished the page and don’t recall anything you just read?  That’s stage 1.

Stage 2 is light sleep you are easily awoken and movement occurs.

Stage 3 is the transition from light sleep to deep sleep.  This is when the physical restoration of the body begins.

Stage 4 is deep sleep when most of the body’s growth, healing and physical restoration occurs, very little movement.

REM sleep (rapid eye movement)

Stage 5 is the last stage and is refered to as dream state.  Increases in brain activity, heart rate and body temperature occur. Also, the most active stage of sleep, voluntary muscles are paralyzed.

The most restorative stages of sleep are 4 and 5.  Sleep stages run in cycles and the average adult will complete 4 to 5, 90 min cycles per night.  REM gets longer and more intense with each successive cycles ( as little as 5 min-up to 1 hour) . Proportionally, you spend more time in the deep sleep and REM sleep in the last 2 hours of an 8 hour sleep session.  So you can see why it’s important to get 8 hours of sleep per night.

Keep this in mind,when you toss and turn and it takes some time to fall a sleep, you don’t lose the 1st hour of sleep, you lose the LAST hour of sleep and that happens to be the most restorative.  So make sure you find a mattress that helps you fall a sleep quickly and in turn you will be better rested.
