When to Replace Your Mattress

Congratulations, you have a mattress. That’s great. Now you can have it to sleep on forever, without replacing it because these things are made to last and-

No. It doesn’t work that way.

Mattresses are a material thing. Like all material things, it breaks down. It won’t last forever, it can’t. The best you can do with a mattress is to spread out the damage over as long a period of time as you can, so as to minimize the break down that you’ll be dealing with.

Now, how you maintain these mattresses is going to differ from one to the next. A traditional spring mattress, for instance, is best maintained by flipping it over once every six months or so. This allows some of the springs to readjust, while others take on the burden of your body.

If you take the right care of your mattresses, it’s possible to see this thing last anywhere from five to seven years. It could be more than that and it could be less than that too. It’s going to depend an awful lot on things like how often it’s used, who’s using it, how much they weigh, things like that. If it’s regularly used, it’s going to come down to a matter of how well-maintained the mattress is.

The rule of thumb on this one is to use a mattress until it’s not comfortable for sleeping on anymore. When it’s not comfortable anymore, that’s when it’s time to switch it out.

Different Brands Available

At Sleepys Mattresses, we’re known as being the biggest retailer of mattresses in the country, and probably in the world. We have 700 different stores, spread across multiple states, and we do business on both sides of the country.

We can get a lot of mattresses out there is what we’re saying.

And shopping with us, you definitely won’t be lacking for options. We can do all kinds of different brands of mattress for you.

For instance, we do carry the Tempur-Pedic brand of mattress. It’s perfect if you wake up in the morning with back pain and find yourself needing more stability and support. You don’t have to settle with one of those knock-off brands with us.

And who could forget the three S’s of mattresses? We are, of course, referring to Sealy, Simmons, and Serta. When it comes to box spring mattresses, they are the ones you want to go to. They make the most, and their mattresses are good quality, enough to last you the five to seven years that a good mattress gets and then some.

But that’s not all. We carry more brands than just those. We carry, for instance, the Miralux line. This is a specialty brand that we’ve actually made ourselves. It’s designed as the crossroads for luxury and utility, giving you a higher-quality mattress at an affordable price.

We have even more than these. We’d be glad to show them to you when you get a chance to stop by.

Why to Get a Comfortable Mattress

Sleep is something that we all need more of. We note in the articles from everyone else these days the need that we have for sleep, but we read to figure out how little sleep we can get by on.

There's probably a lot of commentary we could make about that. What it says about us as a culture. We need to sleep, but we can't stand the idea of it. We think so much is depending on us getting everything done and taken care of.

Instead of taking the time to rest and acknowledge our limits, we pare the time we have down to rest down as low as we can so we can get up and work again. After all, our debts and our homes and all of that won't pay themselves off now, will they?

If all of this is true, we need to make sure we have the best bed possible. Your body needs the time that you take to rest for healing and for maintenance. If you're not going to be taking the time to get what you need, you at least owe it to yourself to rest comfortably.

Look at it this way: you're punishing yourself relentlessly. You owe yourself some reprieve, however slight. If you're not going to take the right amount, then having some comfort will help you get to the sleep you need sooner.

We won't say which one is more comfortable, because everyone's a little different. But we will be here to help you when you decide you need us.

How Having Your Choice of Mattresses Gives You a Better Night's Sleep

There's a reason that everybody makes fun of campers. It's because of the ground. The ground is a hard, unyielding thing. It does not offer you any kind of support to work with. It doesn't care. It just does its ground thing.

And it's hard on your back. Most people say that an ultra hard surface like that is great for the spine, for getting it to align right. And that's true. But it's only for a really small portion of the population that falls asleep on their backs.

Most people, in the meantime, fall asleep on their sides. That means that the ground is not a nice place for them. Therefore, they need a mattress to make things better.

Of course, has time has gone by, mattress technology has changed as well. We don't have to use just a box spring mattress anymore, and those things can be really uncomfortable.

Not only do we have mattresses to make the necessity of sleep better, we now have mattresses to help people to get better sleep than they had before.

For example, the Tempur material is absolutely great if you're looking for support for your back. It doesn't have a lot of bounce in it, so if you like jumping on the bed, something more traditional might be what you want.

It's all up to you. That's the great thing about so many different kinds of mattress. You get the flexibility that you want to decide the kind of sleep that you want.

About inner spring mattress

Innerspring mattresses are probably the most common type of mattress in use today. It's what we tend to associate with some of the older spring mattresses, so far as having a bunch of wires and springs supporting us while we sleep. However, the new innerspring mattresses are designed around the idea of maintaining comfortable support for the sleeper.

Nonetheless, there are some misconceptions that people tend to have about these mattresses.

For example, it was believed that a mattress with more springs would lead to a firmer mattress. Whilst true to a certain extent, it's also become clear that the construction of the wire spring itself is a major contributor. It's typical to see innerspring mattresses with anywhere from 300 to 800 springs. Of course you can guess that a firmer bed has more springs in it, but it's possible to get the same result with only 400 springs if the gauge of the spring is high enough.

Also, firmer mattresses aren't necessarily better. They can be better for people who sleep on their back, but the majority of people tend to sleep on their sides instead. It follows, then, that people who sleep on their sides should be less concerned about the firmness of the mattress and more concerned with getting the right amount of support to put their spine in alignment.

For that matter, mattresses with individually wrapped coils tend to be the best.
