Are you riddled with aches and pains when you roll out of bed in the morning? For many people, a sore back and stiff neck are as much a part of their daily routine as that first cup of coffee. It’s easy to blame the pain on stress or age, but the real issue may lie with the mattress itself.

Instead of confronting a sub-par sleeping arrangement with a cohort of pillows and a new set of high thread count sheets, lay the foundation for a good night’s sleep by choosing a quality mattress. Home Zone Furniture offers a number of different mattress types to fit a wide variety of people.

In general, the best mattress is one that keeps your body in complete alignment from head to heels. Since everyone’s mattress needs are different depending on their body type, weight and a host of other variables, be sure to try all types of mattresses, from memory foam to innerspring and even adjustable mattresses.

Personally, I love adjustable mattresses and the many health benefits they offer. First and foremost, an adjustable mattress allows for ergonomically correct positioning of the body. Unlike traditional mattresses, adjustable mattresses cater specifically to the natural curvature of your spine, spreading the weight out evenly and adjusting to your changing needs over time.

By supporting the various pressure points throughout your body, an adjustable mattress can promote both a healthy posture and proper circulation. People with heart problems, breathing trouble and swollen legs and feet will appreciate the effects of an adjustable mattress, but everyone can benefit in some way from customizable support.

If you’re tired of an achy lower back being a regular part of your day, consider switching over to one of our many comfortable mattresses. Sweet dreams may be just within reach!

Mattress Facts

Bree here, from Home Zone Furniture.

High thread count sheets and plush pillows are nice, but a good night’s sleep begins and ends with the perfect mattress. Whether you demand firm support or prefer something on the softer side, everyone has strong preferences when it comes to hitting the hay. Here’s how you can meet the mattress of your dreams at Home Zone Furniture.

When to shop

The general rule is that mattresses need to be replaced every eight to 10 years. Maybe you’ve been waking up with little aches and pains due to a sagging mattress, or maybe not. Regardless, mattresses collect sweat, dust mites, fungus and allergens over time and need to be swapped out once a decade.

While mattress shopping might not be as fun as shopping for home decor, imagine how much better you’ll sleep with a well-chosen mattress. We spend over one-third of our lives in bed, so why not make it a rejuvenating experience rather than a pain-inducing one?

What’s your type?

Shopping for a mattress can get complicated fast. There are many types of mattress to choose from, depending on your body type and unique preferences. For a bed with some bounce, go with an innerspring mattress. If you prefer less spring and a firm base, choose memory foam. Perhaps you and your sleeping partner like something different. In that case, try an adjustable mattress. At the end of the day, choose a mattress that will provide adequate back support and unmatched comfort.

Our favorites

When you arrive in a showroom full of mattresses, it’s hard to know where to begin! Some of our Home Zone favorites include the Bree-O-Pedic Signature Plush Mattress, Marble Falls Firm Mattress and the Payton Plush Mattress. All of these mattresses feature a supportive coil base and a high coil count to avoid sagging.

The Bree-O-Pedic comes at an incredible price for its resilient memory foam and breathable organic fabric.

The Marble Falls is one of the firmest options we offer. We love this mattress for its high-density foam and antimicrobial and hypoallergenic qualities.

For an amazing hybrid mattress, choose the Payton. The Payton combines resilient coil support with conforming, gel-infused memory foam.

Test drive

When you’re mattress shopping, don’t settle for anything until you’ve done the 15-minute test. Lay for 5 minutes on your front, 5 on your back and 5 on your side to determine if this mattress will be comfortable for you in the long run.

If you’re bringing someone shopping with you, have them check to see if the mattress supports your spine in a neutral position — meaning that everything from your head to your heels is in complete alignment. A mattress that’s too soft won’t support your body’s pressure points, and a mattress that’s too firm will push against your pressure points. Either way, you’ll end up uncomfortable! Look for a mattress that makes you feel weightless.

Bree’s top sleep tips

Bree here, from Home Zone Furniture.

When someone asks, “How are you?” do you say, “Tired!” without even thinking? Are you always tired? Reaching for that cup of coffee at 7AM, 9AM, again after lunch and maybe another around 4PM?

Perhaps the problem isn’t about getting enough caffeine; it’s likely about the lack of quality of sleep you’re getting at night. Here are a few simple tips to improve your days by fortifying your nights.

Watch the clock.

Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, including weekends. This will help sleeping and waking happen more naturally and with less of a struggle.

Sleep like a baby.
As in, create rituals for yourself each night that tell your body that it’s time to sleep. Read a book, have a cup of decaf tea, dim the lights and shut down your computer. Your brain will quiet and it’ll be easier to hit the hay with a clear head.

Work it out.

Biologically speaking, working out is great for your sleep, as long as you don’t do it too close to bedtime. Squeeze in a workout as often as possible, and your sleep quality will surely benefit.

Ditch the power nap.

Napping during the day makes it harder to sleep at night. Power though and then follow the steps above to get into a better resting groove.

Comfort counts.

Your bedroom must be primed for the best sleep possible! Be sure you can get adequate darkness, that it’s quiet and that the temperature is somewhere between 60 and 67 degrees to keep you cool and comfortable all night long. And speaking of comfortable, your mattress, pillows and other bedding materials should be allergen-free and soft yet supportive for a premium night’s sleep.

Let there be light.

Sleep isn’t just about darkness; it’s also about letting light in when it’s time to wake up. This light and dark helps regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythms.

Simmer down.

Certain things we do during the day pump us up. Eating, drinking, playing video games, texting, etc. Doing these things right before we go to bed goes against the cause. So stop it! An hour before bedtime, don’t eat, smoke or do any of those other things. 

The “Two Things” rule.

Like I mentioned in the last post, the bedroom should be for two things and two things only: sleeping, and that other thing people do in bedrooms behind closed doors. That means, keep your cellphones put away and your TV out in the living room. You’ll be glad you did.

Remember: A better day starts with Zzzzzzzzzz.

Sweet dreams!
