Counting Sheep: Does It Really Work?

With stress, caffeine, and other obstacles to falling asleep, it can sometimes feel nearly impossible to get the z’s you need — even if you’re exhausted. If you’re tired and have a big day the next day, you might be willing to try anything — even counting sheep. A group at Oxford University decided to test this method of falling asleep to see if it really worked and here’s what they found....

There are a lot of reasons why you might not be sleeping well or your back might be hurting. It could be due to stress, poor diet, and even your before-bedtime routine. However, the same place that you look to for comfort and rest may just be the thing that is causing you to sleep poorly and your back to hurt. Today, we will be looking at what makes a good mattress, and what makes one that needs to be retired.

What Is a Good Mattress?

Our beds are our oasis, the place that we don’t want to leave to start our week on Monday, and where we share some of our most intimate moments with those that we love. What makes your bed special and a place that is hard to leave varies from person to person. But there are some generalities that can be made about what makes a comfortable mattress.

Qualities of a Good Mattress

A good mattress:

• Will be supportive of your entire body when laying in a neutral position
• Promote proper spine alignment
• Isn’t too firm that it presses the main pressure points on your...

At Mattress For Less, we are all about trying to help you get the sleep you need. In many cases, a new mattress can work wonders — curing you of your temporary insomnia. However, even though we believe in the power of a good mattress, there are other factors that can affect the quality and quantity of sleep.

Four Ways to Create An Evening Ritual

Stay On Schedule

If you are busy like many of us, it can be difficult to have a regular schedule, especially if you are trying to get the most out of your day. However, your work ethic or social life might be keeping you from sleeping. All of our bodies have an internal clock, scientifically referred to as a circadian rhythm. By going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning, our bodies naturally...

Welcome back to the Mattress for Less blog! Sometimes on our blog, we will tell interesting facts about topics such as the history of the mattress. At other times, we give practical tips to help you get the sleep that you need. Today, we will be sharing 5 questions you must ask yourself before you buy a mattress.

What Size?

Before you head down to your local mattress store in Waterbury, it is best to have an idea for what size of mattress you want: Do you want a Twin, Full, Queen, King, or California King? The size of mattress you need depends on how many people will be sleeping in your bed on a consistent basis, as well as your own sleeping habits. For example, most couples prefer a Queen or a larger bed. A Queen can be a perfect size for a couple who like to cuddle and be close. However, if you prefer your space, a King might be a better option. If you really don’t know, we can help!

Did You Try It?

It’s easy to want to order your mattress from an online store, but...

Welcome back to the Mattress for Less blog! In our last blog post, we looked at the evolution of the mattress. Unfortunately for our ancestors, mattresses weren’t the customized, comfortable, clean things that they are today. Often mattresses were dirty holes in the ground with foliage for cushioning, stone slabs, or straw. However, not all ancient peoples slept on archaic mattresses. For example, the Egyptians slept on elevated slat beds. Read part one of our blog series or continue on to part two of our brief survey of the history of the mattress.

The Dark Ages & Straw Beds

Medieval life has always been romanticized as a world of knights instilled with valor and young, beautiful maidens; a fairytale world. However, the reality of life for most who lived during that time is anything but romantic. Life was hard and life expectancy incredibly short. The beds themselves were usually made of straw, grass, or bedstraw stuffed into a linen mattress...

Today, we are going to answer one of those commonly asked questions: do I need a bed frame? The answer is yes and no. You don’t have to have one, but it is highly recommended that you do, especially with certain types of beds and here’s why.

Support For Box Springs

First of all, a bed frame provides support for your box springs. Because your box springs is essentially a wooden box, it can scratch wood flooring and other floor surfaces. Also, without a frame there isn’t much that is keeping your mattress on your box springs. A bed frame can provide support for the box springs...

Hello and welcome back to the Mattress For Less blog! Lately, we have been discussing all things mattresses and how, ultimately, you can get a good night’s sleep. The mattress that you sleep on plays a key role in the amount of and the quality of sleep you get each night. Before commiting to a mattress, you must make sure that it is the one that is the best fit for you. What should you think about before you buy a mattress?

• Size
• Softness or firmness
• Budget

Today, we are going to talk about the importance of buying the right size of mattress and how each mattress can serve you. Be sure to visit our mattress store in Wallingford for personalized assistance!

Twin, Twin Short & Twin XL

A twin bed is the perfect size for most children’s bedrooms. Because a twin bed measures 39 x 79 inches, it provides enough space for a child or young adult to have enough space in their room for not only a bed, but also their toys and other belongings. Also, the bed itself is usually just the right size for a child or young...

Hello, and welcome back to the Mattress For Less blog! Lately, we’ve been talking about your spring-time sleeping habits. Spring is that perfect time of year to get rid of the clutter whether it is physically inhibiting your space or negatively affecting any part of your life. Just because we don’t have dust bunnies hiding in the corners of our home, doesn’t mean that we couldn’t use a little revamping of our habits and refocusing on what we need in our lives.

From Part 1

If you are just joining us, in our last blog post, we gave two tips for changing your sleep habits so you can get more and better shut-eye. First, we suggested putting away your phone — and really, any electronic device — at least 30 minutes to an hour before you turn out the light. The light from our devices causes our body to think it’s time to wake up instead of beginning to shut down. Also, we suggested that you stop the right-before-bed munching. Not only are the crumbs gross, but many snacks can create heartburn and other digestive issues that will keep you up late or even...

Spring is here in Waterbury, and though we may experience a little bit more from winter, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for warmer days and nights. Often, during the springtime, we evaluate our habits or, at least, do some much-needed spring cleaning, cleaning out the dust and cobwebs that are proverbially hiding in our sleeping habits and maybe even our bedrooms. Today, on the Mattress For Less blog, we are going to talk about some habits to “clean out of your life,” as you prepare to get more and better z’s this spring!

Ditch the Phone

As a society, we are continually connected to our phones. We can’t go anywhere without them and even take them into the bathroom with us which is a little disconcerting when you think about the theory that our phones are actually listening to us. Regardless if this is true or not, most of us take our phones to bed with us and look at them right up until we turn out the lights, and even past that time. We understand how important it is to say “good night” to your sweetheart, but looking at your...

When it comes to our mattresses, we can’t afford to be misinformed. In fact, of all the things we take for granted that we should be putting a lot more consideration into, our quality of sleep should rank among the highest. Sleep is an essential component of our physical and mental health; if our quality of sleep suffers, so too will our bodies (hello there, back and neck pain) and brains.

For that reason, it’s worth taking the time to learn the facts about mattresses. Comfort is the main factor people look for in mattresses, but in reality, they do a lot more for us than that. Consider these common myths about mattresses, and keep them in mind when you’re looking to revamp your sleep setup.

Myth: There’s a Type of Mattress That’s Objectively Best for Everyone

The most common version of this myth is the assertion that harder, firmer mattresses are best for the human body. But there are other variations of it—soft pillowy mattresses, memory foam mattresses, and so on. If there’s a type of mattress, there’s probably someone out there arguing that...

Welcome back to the Mattress For Less blog! Those in the Newington area, like the rest of the country, thrive on the accolades of working hard and doing what it takes to get the job done. This mentality is honorable, but it isn’t sustainable as an ongoing lifestyle and it will affect your health. Sleep is one of the main areas of life that takes a hit when we decide to put other aspects of our lives ahead of the health of our bodies. Interestingly enough, getting enough sleep will actually make you more productive, look and feel better, and reach those goals that you have for the new year. Today, on our blog, we are going to talk about why sleep should be a priority and, possibly, a part of your New Year’s resolution.

Lose Weight

If you are like most, you probably want to drop a few pounds or at least tone up a bit after the merrymaking of the holiday season. It’s easy to make exercise the “end-all be-all” to your weight loss strategy. However, getting a full night of sleep each night can actually help you lose weight! Not only does your metabolism...

The holidays are the most wonderful time of year in Waterbury unless you are staring at a to-do list a mile long and wondering where you are going to find time to do everything. The stress from the holiday season can take away a significant amount of holiday cheer and can cause sleepless nights. To take the side of Pollyanna, sleepless nights guarantee that you get to see the holiday light displays in all their glory. However, less sleep can cause more stress and the vicious cycle continues. To fully enjoy this season and to get the rest you need, try these five tips to combat the holiday stress.

Take a Deep Breath

It’s easy for the hurriedness of the season to wear on a person and to find oneself holding your breath or even hyperventilating. The best solution when you are starting to freak out about all the things that you haven’t done or all that is going wrong or could go wrong is to pause your day and take a couple deep breaths. Taking a few deep breaths will help you to calm your mind and have a clear headspace to think about the rest of your day.

In our last blog, we started talking about the pillow of your dreams. The first thing to remember when looking for the pillow of your dreams is to know the position that you sleep in during the night. Though we all may move around in our sleep, most favor one sleeping position over the other. However, if you are one of those that sleep in all types of positions, do not fear! There is also a pillow for you. Read last week's blog and learn more about picking a pillow according to your sleeping position. This week, we are going to be looking at the various pillow fill types and what that means for your sleep.

Down Pillows

Down pillows usually embody a sense of luxury and, really, they should for they are usually an investment, but an investment well worth making. Quality down pillows cradle your head due to the air pockets that form from the intertwining of the light, filaments of the feathers. Down pillows are an excellent choice for those looking to invest in a luxurious pillow that will provide fluffy comfort for years to come.

Have you ever looked at a little baby or toddler asleep in the noisiest of rooms and been incredibly jealous? It seems so easy for them to fall asleep—even though they would rather fight taking a nap. For many adults, on the other hand, sleeping well and, sometimes, sleeping at all can seem incredibly difficult. There are many things that can cause our sleep to be less than stellar. Sometimes stress, diet, and lifestyle habits play a role in our lack of sleep and sometimes it’s due to something else such as room temperature, mattress comfort, and pillow type. Today, we are going to discuss what pillows are ideal for the way you sleep, because like many things, one pillow doesn’t fit all.

Purpose of Your Pillow

The general purpose of your pillow is to keep your neck positioned in a neutral position, meaning in line with your spine as it would be when you are standing. Though most people will move during their sleep, when you are searching for your pillow, keep in mind the general position that you sleep in. Everyone sleeps differently and some have...

In our last blog, we began discussing tips that can help you get a full and restful night sleep. As a mattress store in Newington, we hear plenty of stories about the struggles that many have falling and staying asleep. We understand the frustration and for this reason offer quality affordable mattresses. To learn more about our stock and our current sales and promotions, visit our website!

In Part 1

If you missed part one, we discussed three tips that can help you get a great night sleep. First, you need a consistent schedule: Waking up and falling asleep at regular times can help your body to begin to settle down for the night and to feel rested when you wake. Controlling the amount of light in your room is also a factor that can affect your sleep: eliminate all light from your room for the best sleep. Our third tip is to generally improve your bedroom’s environment by keeping it at a cool temperature and orienting your room for only sleep and intimacy with your partner. Read on to learn more about the factors that affect our sleep.

Exercise During the...

We’ve all been there. All day you’ve been battling drowsiness, struggling to focus on your tasks at work. Then, as soon as your head hits the pillow, it’s like your brain finally wakes up and falling asleep feels nearly impossible. Whether you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep or you struggle to fall asleep, we’ve all been there and dealt with the frustration of not being able to sleep. Though there are certain nights when there is little that we can do to get ourselves to relax and fall asleep, here are some ways to give yourself a better opportunity to get some well deserved z’s at the end of your day

Consistent Rest Schedule

First, it’s best to find a consistent sleep schedule, meaning you turn out the lights at night and wake to your alarm at the same time everyday. Some even suggest that you even do this on the weekend. Our body loves this consistency and as you adopt your schedule, your body will begin to get tired and then will be ready to wake at the same times each day, helping you to not only get a good night's...

Sleep, oh blissful sleep. For many of us, sleep feels like a luxury that we fit between the hours of our work schedule, family needs, and the other obligations that most of us Americans try to squeeze into our ever busy schedules. Getting the sleep that we need during the few hours that we have to rest is crucial and so having a mattress that aids in that objective is paramount. But mattresses, like many things that we don’t replace but every-once-in-awhile, are easily forgotten and “just dealt with” until they become unbearable. Below are some of the tell-tale signs that your mattress needs to go.

Lumps & More Lumps

Often it’s easy to find lumps in mattresses that are cheap or those more expensive mattresses that need to be retired. If you see multiple lumps or one large lump, it’s probably time to get a new mattress. These lumps will not only be uncomfortable, but they may cause you not to receive the proper support that you need while you sleep and will create pressure points that could cause soreness or worse if you continue to sleep on a worn...

Memory

Memory is affected by your sleep, and that’s pretty scary information. Sleep is a huge part of creating memories as well as trying to remember them: ot only will you suffer by not being able to remember simple tasks throughout the day, but you also may not remember the day at all.

Aging

Aging is a natural progression that is somewhat out of our control, however, getting a good night's rest can help you age at a more standard level. People who get a good night rest tend to have...
