Maybe It’s The Mattress

Having trouble
getting a good, restful night’s sleep? 
Toss and turn each night and when sleep finally arrives, it’s up again
an hour later and repeat the process?

All the caffeine
and sugar gets eliminated yet still the tossing and turning.  Maybe when there is a full night of sleep,
it’s complete body soreness upon waking. 
All those negative areas with extra stress eliminated and still the
tossing and turning or waking up sore.

Maybe it’s time
for a new mattress so prepare to head off to the mattress store.  When was the current mattress purchased?  Maybe it’s been the same mattress since
college or even the mattress purchased by the parents!

It might be that
after a few years, someone realizes that the mattress on the bed in the guest
bedroom is decades old.  That bed is not
used normally so it had never enters the mind that the mattress is just too
old.  Then one night, maybe the first
night in a new apartment, the guest bed has to be used for whatever
reason.  Since the sleeper is so used to
the regular bed, it shocks the system to be so sore after just one night.  Since the soreness and loss of sleep are new,
they have to be something to do with the bed or mattress.  The sleeper checks and realizes just how old
the mattress was so off to the local mattress store.

That can be an
experience in itself.  Go to the mattress
store and start looking around.  Some
like a mattress that offers support for the back but is still soft enough that
the sleeper can sink back and say “Ahhh!” and relax.  The store might be a place that advertises
discount mattresses but the shopper quickly discovers, discount does not mean
bad or cheap.  The mattress store most
likely has all the brand names wanted; Simmons, Sealy, Serta, and others.  Twin sets, full size, queen, and king.  For instance, the shopper is looking for and
finds the full size mattresses then it’s a matter of testing them to find the
one that fit the individual needs.  Even
though it’s for the bed in the guest bedroom, it should still be to the taste
and needs of the shopper rather than trying to anticipate what the needs are
for any family or friends that might sleep over.  The shopper might feel a bit sorry for any of
the family and friends who had slept on the old mattress but reasons that they
should have provided warning of the problems.

The shopper finds
the mattress that is most comfortable. 
It turns out to be a mid-priced mattress.  The shopper pays the bill, the mattress store
delivers the new mattress that afternoon and takes away the old.

So after checking
everything else, check the mattress.
