<h3 class="section-header">Make Sure Your Mattress Is Made For You</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">Your mattress must support you meaning have the ability to keep your spine aligned in all your sleeping positions. It is very important with the thousands of choices in the mattress world, you make sure you choose the best mattress for you. You are looking to see if your spine is straight when you are on your side or follows its natural &ldquo;S&rdquo; curve when you are on your back or stomach. When you have 2 &ndash; 3 mattresses that seem to provide the best support and alignment, then its time to go home and compare the mattresses to see any common patterns in the ones that worked best for you.<br /><br />If any &ldquo;parts&rdquo; of you sink in too much (usually pelvic area) or too little (usually shoulder area) then you will sleep out of alignment which usually leads to pain or discomfort in the lower back, upper back, or neck and shoulders (which can also be from the wrong pillow for your sleeping positions). It also helps to &ldquo;stand up straight with good posture&rdquo; before you lie down on your back or stomach so they can &ldquo;memorize&rdquo; what your natural &ldquo;S&rdquo; curve looks like and see if it looks the same when you are lying down. You should also there are no &ldquo;recessed areas&rdquo; in all sleeping positions to make sure that they are being &ldquo;filled in&rdquo; and supported. If it is too easy to slide a hand under then it means that the mattress support layer could be too firm to allow for good support and alignment. If you are &ldquo;hammocking&rdquo; and the heavier parts are sinking down too far then this too can means poor support and alignment. Pay particular attention here to make sure that the pelvic area isn't sinking down too far, that the shoulders are sinking in far enough, and that the head and neck are in alignment (always test a mattres using a suitable pillow).<br /><br />The best mattress for you is all about personal preference and your bodies physical needs. You could choose ultra-firm (hopefully not) and to ultra-plush, it is all about making sure you have the back support with the right combination of padding to make you feel comfortable.<br /><br />For you stomach sleepers, medium firm to plush mattresses provide the perfect blend of comfort and support.<br /><br />Stomach sleeping places pressure on sensitive areas like your chest, face, and elbows. A mattress that is too soft can allow your lower back to sag downward or place added tension on your neck. But, a mattress that is too firm can also cause pain and pressure points. Your ideal mattress is in the medium range, with a supportive comfort layer. Your back shouldn't feel strained or tense when you lie down. It may also be helpful to place a pillow beneath your hips to prevent your lower back from sinking too far (however, lets try to find one that does not require that).<br /><br />From my experience in the variety of Portland mattresses out of all those in the mattress world, the more curvy you are the more padding needed to fill the arch in your back and the behind your neck as well as the spaces behind different parts of your legs. Back sleeping places most of your body weight on your upper back, bottom, and heels. A bed that is too firm and rigid can cause pressure points and leave your lower back unsupported, contributing to muscle tension and pain. A bed that is too soft can also lack support or allow your upper body to sink too far in, also contributing to discomfort.<br /><br />Please make sure you make you get support if you sleep on your back also. It is the best way to sleep, and often if you have medical issues it is required. Your ideal mattress is likely in the medium to medium-firm range, with a comfort layer just thick enough to cushion pressure points, but not so thick or plush that your upper body sinks too deep. You should not be able to fit more than 1 finger between your lower back and the mattress when lying flat.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">You Found Support, Now Go For Comfort</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">It is best to get most of the comfort from the core and contouring, because the comfort layers will flatten out over time. Comfort is a combination of the support system and the layers on top. The more expensive beds tend to build up the core for longevitiy. This is perhaps the most simple and straightforward of selecting the best mattress and is where you choose between different mattresses that have the &ldquo;feel&rdquo; you like, good pressure relief, and good spinal alignment and compare them based on quality and durability.<br /><br />Mattresses break down from top to bottom so make sure you have a great core and quality on top of that. Your choices would be simple if they all were roughly the same cost or even if there cost was just a little more since it is clearly a higher quality mattress and would be much more durable. This is your focus on long term satisfaction with your mattress so you won't find you are one of those who loves your mattress in the store and for a few months after only to discover you made a mistake.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Now Balance Out Value</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">Value is the most difficult part of the purchasing process. This is where you decide on exactly what to buy based on the combination of different features and the any difference in value in buying a similar mattress from different sources and where all the your personal value equation. The difficult part can be making all the final decisions about the smaller details of your mattress and which ones you really want and which ones you don't. You won't sleep if you spent to much money so, focus on what value true is to you. At this step you will have a clear idea of exactly what type of mattress works best for you and the details of its construction. You may have actually found one that you would buy or a couple that were so close that you know exactly what needs to be changed to make it perfect (such as &hellip; this one would do but it would be perfect if it was just a tiny bit softer on top).</p>

Back Sleepers

<h3 class="section-header">Why is Sleep so Important?</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">Why do we place such a heavy importance on sleep?<br /><br />Sleep is one of the most powerful tools to ensuring health, wellness, and a long life! Our brain regulates our body, and sleep regulates our brain, ensuring balanced responses and chemical reactions. This is why we place such a hefty importance on not just sleep, but deep, uninterupted sleep that leaves you feeling well rested and capable to take on the day!</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Healthier, Stronger Heart</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">One of the best reasons to get a great night's sleep, protecting your heart might not at the front of your mind, but maybe it should be. Several recent studies show links between shortened sleep duration, defined as less than six hours of sleep, and increased risk of heart disease.<br /><br />That is why we take our job seriously, We believe that finding the best mattress for you is the key to better health and a better life.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Helps You Feel Not Hungry</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">Great news when it comes to body weight, it may be that if you snooze, you lose! Studies show that lack of sleep seems to be related to an increase in hunger and appetite, and possibly to obesity. According to these studies, people who sleep less than six hours a day were almost 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours.<br /><br />Crazy as it sounds, not only does sleep loss appear to stimulate the appetite, it also stimulates cravings for high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. Ongoing studies are considering whether adequate sleep should be a standard part of weight loss programs.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Better Memory</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">A great night's sleep makes you feel better. Not only does sleep (on the best mattress) give your body time to rest and recharge, it is crucial to your brain's ability to learn and remember. While your body sleeps, memories are being formed from the day's activities.<br /><br />If you are sleep-deprived, you are at risk of developing a number of serious health problems, such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, and your ability to learn and retain new information may be impaired. Without adequate sleep, your brain becomes foggy, your judgment poor, and your fine motor skills hindered.<br /><br />Surprisingly, studies have shown that going 24 hours without sleep is equal to being drunk, in how it affects your decision making skills and your reflexes.<br /><br />We believe that the best mattress and the right environment is crucial to a great nights sleep. If you do not get the sleep required:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lack of sleep impairs a person's ability to focus and learn efficiently.</li>
<li>Sleep is necessary to consolidate a memory (make it stick) so that it can be recalled in the future.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="section-header">Helps Fight Germs</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">Missing out on deep sleep has been linked to a laundry list of health issues, including those that result from an impaired immune system. So really when you buy a great bed, you're buying something to help you fight illness. Sleep deprivation suppresses immune system function.<br /><br />For example, fever response (a way your body fights infection) is higher during sleep. If you don't rest, your body can't fight as hard as it should.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">How Much Sleep Do You Need?</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">This varies depending on age, but your best bet is to increase sleep amount when exposed to illness and make sure you get great rest while sleeping. However, for children, ensuring they have the proper amount of rest can be difficult. Without enough rest, a childs growth and development may be negatively impacted. Please note, these are only guidelines, and you should talk to a pediatrition for detailed advice on your childs health needs.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Power Of Sleep</h3>
<p class="m-b-20">In short, sleep affects nearly every aspect of your life, whether you are concious of it or not! So, make sure the sleep you are getting is enough, and of a great quality, to ensure the ability to live your life to the fullest!</p>

Enough Sleep Makes For A Healthier Life

Is A Memory Foam Mattress Perfect For You?

<p><strong>Just like proper diet and exercise, a great night's sleep is critical to your mental, emotional, and physical health.</strong> However, as much as we know about sleep and health most people do not get the seven to eight hours of sleep each night recommended by sleep experts. Sleeping on the best mattress for you or at least the right mattress is key. Our sleep guide offers simple ways to sleep better. We are going to help you learn when you need a new mattress, the sorts of mattresses available, the best size of mattress for you as well as other mattress shopping tips. At Sherri's Mattresses, we love it when you come back and tell us how we helped improve your day and better yet your life by improving the quality of your sleep.</p>
<h3>How long does a mattress last?</h3>
<p>Well, that depends on several factors:</p>
<ul>
<li>Usage</li>
<li>Quality</li>
<li>You Personal Changing Comfort</li>
<li>Your Personal Support Preferences</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally, a mattress set has been in use for five to seven years. At that point, most no longer provide proper comfort and support and should be evaluated. Many sleep studies have shown that after the age of 5 it does not matter age, weight, or size, there is a significant improvement in health and mood with a great mattress. That's why it always makes me sad when people say &ldquo;it is just for my kid.&rdquo; So it is important to compare yours as well as your child's mattress and boxspring/foundation, to ensure you're having the best sleep possible! Great sleep leads to a great day, everyday.</p>
<h3>Is it time for a new mattress?</h3>
<p>You might wonder if it is time for a new mattress if&hellip;</p>
<p>Even if it's worn like your favorite old chair or pair of shoes, your mattress can still feel comfortable long after it has lost its ability to provide your body with the proper comfort and support it needs. Here are a few things to consider when deciding whether it's time to buy a new mattress and boxspring/foundation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your Mattress Is Five To Seven Years Old</li>
<li>You Wake Up With Stiffness, Numbness, Aches, and Pains</li>
<li>You Had A Better Night's Sleep Somewhere Other Than Your Own Bed (such as a hotel or friend's guest room)</li>
<li>Your Mattress Shows Signs Of Overuse (it sags, has lumps, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>The warranty on a mattress and foundation is not a timer for how long the product should be used before replacement. Instead, the warranty exists to protect the consumer from product defects, not against gradual loss of comfort and support.</p>
<h3>SLEEP</h3>
<p>S.L.E.E.P</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>S</strong>elect a mattress.</li>
<li><strong>L</strong>ie down in your typical sleep position.</li>
<li><strong>E</strong>valuate the level of comfort and support.</li>
<li><strong>E</strong>ducate yourself about each selection.</li>
<li><strong>P</strong>artners should test beds together.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, it is important to have an educated salesperson who can guide you through the many choices in bedding to help you find the mattress that best meets your personal preferences. Once in the store, be sure to &ldquo;test drive&rdquo; your new mattress following the S.L.E.E.P. test. Remove your shoes (if you're a woman, it's best to go mattress-shopping in jeans or pants) and lie down on several different models in various positions, especially the one you usually sleep in. And remember, those few extra minutes of focusing on the &ldquo;feel&rdquo; of different mattress choices can save a lot of time and sleepless nights later. Keep in mind as you test various mattresses that comparison shopping by model name may lead to frustration. You probably won't find exactly the same model name in one store as you did in another.</p>
<h3>Guide your purchasing decision</h3>
<ul>
<li>For proper support, a mattress and foundation must support the body at all points with the spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture.</li>
<li>Ask the salesperson if they can show you illustrated or actual &ldquo;cutaways&rdquo; of the interior of the different mattress and foundation choices so you can see what's inside.</li>
<li>Compare store services such as delivery, financing and removal of old bedding as well. Many retailers today offer mattress removal service as part of your purchase price or for a nominal fee.</li>
<li>Shop for the best value, not the lowest price. The best assurance for good mattress performance over many years is to buy the highest quality sleep set you can afford.</li>
</ul>

Great Sleep Guide

<p>We need sleep, along with food, water, and oxygen, to survive. Sleep is a vital indicator of overall health and well-being. We spend up to one-third of our lives asleep. It is important that it&rsquo;s restful sleep so that we get healthy sleep (to better our lives, and life span).<br /> <br /> Most of us know that getting a good night&rsquo;s sleep is important, but too few of us actually make those eight or so hours between the sheets a priority. For many of us with sleep debt, we&rsquo;ve forgotten what &ldquo;being really, truly rested&rdquo; feels like. It is very important that you find the best mattress and make your sleep environment the most restful it can be.</p>
