Selecting the Right Size for You!

Over the years, our experienced sales team have helped
thousands of customers select the best mattress size for their needs.
Here are some tips they would like to share with you.


Sleeping with a Partner

When it comes to a great night's rest, you must consider how
your partner's sleeping habits affect your sleep. Constant tossing,
turning, or twitching during the night is one of the top 3 problems
reported by our customers when it comes to loosing sleep. If you sleep
with a partner, you should highly consider a Queen Size mattress or
larger to accommodate two people.

Remember this, if you and your partner sleep on a full size mattress,
each of you has approximately 27 inches of individual space - equal
to the width provided by a baby's crib. In a queen size, each adult
still has 9 inches less width than if they slept indivdually in a
twin bed.


Mattress Thickness: Height and Linens

With increasing comfort in today's mattresses, the "thickness"
of the mattress has increased. This added thickness will raise the
height of your bed and may make it more difficult to get in to. Also,
if your current mattress is 12 inches or less in height, you will
need to consider purchasing "deep pocketed" sheets for your
new mattress. Deep pocket sheets are readily available and can
accommodate mattress with a thickness of 18 inches or more!

To assist with any height issues you may have with your bed, you
can select a low-profile boxspring and or a low-profile drop rail
frame system.


Getting the Mattress Set to your Bedroom

Although we would all love to enjoy a spacious kind size mattress,
sometimes it does not always work out because we are not able to
get the mattress set to our bedrooms. King size mattress sets will
come standard with two "split" Twin XL boxsprings to help
out, but you need to make sure the route from the entry into your
home and to your bedroom will accomodate the size mattress you are
purchasing.
