Why are mattresses and sleep accessories important? Sleep is the one activity you will spend most of your life doing. Did you know that, on average, you will sleep the equivalent of 26 years during your lifetime? The quality of your sleep affects your emotional, mental and physical well-being. Sleep quality is primordial not only to recover from the daily routine our bodies experience in our waking lives, but also to perform better in it each day.
Below, you will find 5 easy steps to sleep, recover and perform:
Step 1: The Bed for Your Head
The right pillow can make all the difference, and we can help you find it. Your body changes over time, and your pillow should, too. What changes? We age, we shift in weight, and our hormones are also greatly affected over time. So that means that you should also change your pillow every 2 years to accommodate those changes. Sleeping on the wrong pillow leads to neck and back pain, since it will not provide the right support for your upper body. If you toss and turn frequently or feel restless throughout the night, your pillow could very well be the cause of this.
Step 2: Create your personal comfort profile
The same principle applies to mattresses — we recommend changing your mattress every 7 or 8 years. However, not all sleepers are made equally. Take the guess work out of finding the perfect mattress with the help of our experts. Learn about which mattress is most comfortable for your own personal sleep profile, from extra-firm to ultra-plush, and ultimately, which mattress is right for you.
Step 3: Discover the latest in mattress technology
Technology is improving the way we live in every way, including mattresses. We’ll help you navigate the options. Many will spend thousands of dollars on a car that they will spend 1–3 hours a day in; a mattress that you spend 5 to 10 hours a day on should be considered an investment in yourself, your wellbeing, and your health. It may not be glamourous, but it is essential, and our brand selection offers a range of features that will help you sleep better.
Step 4: Enhance your sleep with an adjustable base or foundation
Total comfort doesn’t necessarily mean lying flat. An adjustable base or foundation can provide that hard-to-find perfect position for a great night’s sleep. Sleeping in zero-gravity alleviates tensions in the body, maximizes blood flow and offers you a better night sleep. Did you know that an adjustable base with a 6% angle can make a world of difference for people that snore?

Step 5: Accessorize beyond mattresses and pillows
Sleep, recover, perform — it’s a total package that goes beyond mattresses and pillows to include comfort accessories. Duvets, or blankets, or throws provide the final touches to a great sleep experience. Meanwhile, mattress protectors may sound far less exciting, but are still important when it comes to protecting mattresses from stains, mold and mildew, dust mites and bed bugs, and reducing the wear and tear of fabric. All in all, sleep accessories are the crucial final step in a good night’s sleep and should not be overlooked.
