<p>Side sleeping lessons snoring, improves circulation, side sleeping is a good way to sleep, but it does cause pressure points to be agitated and worsens wrinkles &amp; breast sagging. We always recommend that everyone makes sure they get proper back support! Side sleepers do best on medium to soft mattress to gently contour to your unique shape, while providing the body with the support it needs to give you proper alignment. Your hips and shoulders support most of your weight. A bed that is too hard can cause pain on hips, shoulders, knees, ankles, and elbows, and will likely cause your lower back to sag rather than maintain natural, straight alignment.<br /><br />Your ideal mattress firmness is likely in the medium to soft range, and the comfort layer of the bed should be thick enough to accommodate your curves and cushion pressure zones. You should feel as if your spine is straight (as in parallel to the ground) when you are lying down.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Comfort Layers</h3>
<p>The mattress world can get confusing, sometimes it gets right down to the comfort is a combination of the support system and the layers on top. It is best to get most of the comfort from the core and contouring, because the comfort layers will flatten out over time. 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.</p>
<h3 class="section-header">Now Balance Out Value</h3>
<p>As confusing as the mattress world is most people consider this part the most fun &hellip; and sometimes the most difficult. 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 objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation become important. 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&rsquo;t. For example, do you want a wool quilting which is a natural fire barrier and provides good temperature regulation or would you rather have a thicker circular knit ticking which will let you sleep closer to latex or memory foam and help it relieve pressure better, in which case you may be fine with a viscose/silica fire barrier. 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>
<h3 class="section-header">PILLOW ADVICE</h3>
<p>Due to your unique style of sleeping, some regular pillows might not cut it. Whether they&rsquo;re too high or too low and hurt your neck, a pillow is almost as important as your bed! A pillow counts for 1/4 of your sleeping surface, so ensuring you have the right one is very important. Our shoulder cutouts are designed specifically with side sleepers in mind. With a space for your shoulder to drop down, we find side sleepers have the best luck with this style of pillows!</p>

<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

<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>
