1. Question: What should I look for when buying a new mattress?

Answer: Sleep experts recommend a firm support system with no sag or hammock. The special support of our memory foam mattresses provides the deep down support for your back. On average people toss and turn 50 times a night. Your body sends an impulse to your brain signaling that circulation is being cut off. Your brain then pulls you out of the deep rejuvenating stages of sleep to turn over in hopes to restore proper circulation. The layers of memory foam in our mattresses provide the necessary pressure relief for minimal tossing and turning. Push down on the mattress firmly with both hands. The unique, memory foam support will let the heaviest parts of your body (your shoulders and hips) sink into the mattress without experiencing circulation cutoff.

2. Question: How can I tell if I need a new bed frame?

Answer: All king and queen sets made today require a center support for warranty compliance, twin and full mattress sets do not. If your current frame is bent, squeaks, or has any broken wheels/glides, it is time to replace your frame.

3. What should I do with my old mattress?

Answer: Get rid of it! Perspiration and repeated compression will break down the foam layers over time. Your old set is probably much thinner than when it was new. Even if your set looks okay, the tempering has likely worn out of the steel coils and does not provide the proper support needed anymore. It is recommended that a mattress be replaced every 7-10 years for people under 40, every 5-7 years for people over 40…regardless of quality. The sleep experts have found that the average mattress doubles in weight every ten years from dead skin cells and dust mites

4. Question: Why do I have a backache on my new mattress?

Answer: The wearing out process of your old mattress was very gradual. Over time, the springs lost their ability to support your body. Many people complain of rolling toward their partner or excessive tossing and turning on their old mattress. When you go to a new support system, the new memory foam support will push your back into a straight-line sleeping posture. It can stretch muscles and ligaments in the process. Don't let this alarm you…it may take up to 7-10 days for your body to re-adjust to being properly supported.

5. Question: Will I still be able to see my headboard? Can I still sit comfortably on the side of my mattress?

Answer: Most sets are available with a low-profile frame. This will reduce the overall height of the set without sacrificing comfort. Very seldom is there a cost difference between the regular and reduced height, and it will not change the comfort of the mattress. Many headboard/footboard sets over 10 years old will most likely need a low profile frame.
