Most mattress companies recommend replacing your mattresses every six to eight years, but that will depend on a lot of different factors. Generally, all mattresses will begin to break down over that amount of time, which means they are not providing the support for your body to get a good night’s sleep.
People that have difficulty with sleeping or are dealing with aches and pains, headaches or feeling like they haven’t had a good night’s sleep should consider a visit to one of their local mattress stores. In Kalamazoo, customers have several to choose from, and finding a store you are comfortable in working with the staff will be important.
If you are planning on going to the local mattress stores in the city, here are some helpful tips to help you prepare.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
It will be essential to spend some time trying out the new mattresses, which means having comfortable, practical clothes. Slacks, shorts, sweats or anything else that is comfortable and allows you to move around without being self-conscious is a great idea.
It is ideal to try out the bed for about 10 minutes. This allows your body to relax into the bed and to have an idea of the comfort level. The staff at top stores will actually recommend you spend time in the position on the bed that you naturally sleep.
Bring Your Spouse
While going to mattress stores may not be your idea of a great Saturday or evening, finding the time to go together will ensure you find a mattress that is good for you and your spouse.
Often one spouse will have very different comfort needs in a mattress than the other. In these situations, an adjustable bed that allows independent settings and positioning for each side of the bed may be the perfect answer.
Try New Beds
While you may really love your current mattress design and manufacturer, be open to trying out different options at mattress stores. There are always new developments in material and technology in mattresses that are creating an amazing opportunity for a great night’s sleep.
Remember also to ask about guarantees and warranties on the mattresses you are considering. Staying with a top name you recognize both in the furniture store as well as in the mattress, builds in an additional level of comfort in buying a quality bed that you can trust for sleep quality for years to come.
