The Importance of Good Sleep

We all know we feel gross when we haven't gotten enough sleep, but have you seen the research that's been done on sleep deprivation and the things it causes? A prime and fairly obvious example is that while you're sleepy, it slows down your reaction times which can lead to more accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates about 100,000 car crashes every year due to lack of sleep. On top of that, job injuries can accumulate, leading up to disasters that can be catastrophic (remember Valdez? Chernobyl? Research suggests that sleep deprivation was a big part of those incidents). On top of that, it's been shown that not only does your reaction time slow down, but you actually have a harder time thinking and learning. You can't remember things as well, you aren't as alert or attentive, you can't concentrate or reason properly. During certain phases of sleep in the night, it appears that the brain is actually packing away and consolidating the information you learned since you last slept, so when you short-sell this process you're actually risking never fully retaining anything you ever learn.

Sleepin’ Warm

It gets COLD out here at night. Which is amazing because it gets so ridiculously hot during the day. But that’s not a real comfort when it’s time for bed. No, for night time it’s all about the blankets.
Sure, I could waste energy and consequently money on using the space heater every night, or I could curl up in a brand new set of sheets and a nice big fluffy comforter. Thing is, we’ve got a lot of pets. And pets tend to ruin that top sheet over time.

Nobody likes a ratty comforter, so we are often in the market for a new one when it just gets to be too much.  Thankfully, our local Sleepys has some really nice sets for well under a hundred. So we’re picking up this really nice but basic 3 piece set to try to survive the rest of the winter/spring until summer

Allergy Remedies: Bedding?

If you’re like me, you have allergies. A lot of allergies. If you’re like me, you do everything you can to reduce your symptoms as much as possible, too.

Something I had never considered before recently was hypo-allergenic bedding. There’s actually a whole line of products designed just for people like me who need all the help they can get living a life free of stuffy sneezy allergic reactions. I was looking online and found a nearby company, Sleepys, carries a bunch of products designed to work against things like bed bugs and mites. “Use on car rides or in hotels to ensure a safe, clean rest away from home!” the site boasts. I’m not sure I’d go that far, but it’s still a great idea for around the home.

Sounds like a deal to me, I’m looking up as much stuff as I can find and trying it out.

How To Read In Bed

You may think that reading in bed is a great thing to do for sleep. Yes it can be, but only if done properly. Otherwise, you will be making it much more difficult to fall asleep easily and regularly. Here are three tips to ensure that you read in bed properly:

1. Only read. Turn off the tv and other background distractions. Believe it or not, they will take up most of your time that should be spent reading and getting into a sleepy mode.
2. Set your limits. How many pages or a whole chapter? It really just depends on you and your comfort level. Make it a routine number of pages and it will be easy.
3. Repeat. Do not read every so often. Make it a point to do it often and repeatable. You must do so, if not it will not stick.

3 Tips to Sleep Well in the Winter

Sleeping in the winter can be a cold and uncomfortable ordeal. This can be particularly true if your house doesn’t hold in heat so well. Fortunately, there are some ways around it.

1. Bulk up. Don’t wear flimsy nothings to bed. Wear flannel pajamas, to keep the heat near your body, or sleep in sweat-clothes for added warmth.. For that matter...
2. Use flannel sheets. They’re soft, comfortable, and they keep the heat really well. Meaning that you can keep the bed warmer more easily.
3. Shower before bed. It will warm your body temperature up, as well as to help you relax.

3 Commonly Asked Questions From Readers Like You

We love receiving questions from our website visitors. We recently asked our blog readers to ask us any questions they had regarding mattresses. We received more than two hundred questions and attempted to reply back to each one with a concise answer. We have also taken the top three commonly asked questions for your convenience:

1. How do I get a great mattress? Visit a Sleep Store USA and speak to a sales associate. Let them know about your current sleep troubles, medical conditions, etc. They will be more than happy to help you.
2. What should I expect to pay? This was a very common question. Unfortunately there is no flat answer. It depends greatly on mattress size, comfort level, warranty plans, etc.
3. What should I look for in a mattress? If your current mattress is giving you poor sleep, then you need to find a mattress that is truly comfortable and will help you get back into a regular sleep schedule.

New Year's Entry

Hey everyone! Sleep Store USA here. We’ll be snoozing through the New Year, but we wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy holiday.

Buying Bed Accessories from Sleep Store USA

Sleep Store USA is the best bed store, hands down. And it’s more than just a factor of having the most mattresses. It’s also about having the greatest variety of accessories for the bedroom as well.

And what we mean by that is things like pillows and sheets and comforters and such like that. Things that you take for granted in the bedroom that can really make a huge difference in how restful you find the place.

For instance, we talk an awful lot about the mattresses and their centrality when it comes to your sleep experience. And that’s not untrue. At the same time, though, we don’t want to downplay the importance of other things like pillows and clean sheets and such.

Pillows for example, can wear down just like mattresses can. They’re bearing the weight of your head on a regular basis, and they can flatten or go stiff just like a mattress can.

You can have a perfectly comfortable mattress, but a bad pillow can still contribute to things like a stiff neck and an inability to find comfort and just fall asleep.

Sleep Store USA understands that a good pillow is vital for sleep, so we sell a lot of different kinds for everyone based on how they sleep. And we devote ourselves to providing that same variety for other accessories as well.

What are Hospital Beds?

We tend not to think so much about hospital beds, about what exactly they are or why exactly they are adjustable. If we do think about their adjustable nature, we tend to rationalize it as having to do with treatment, and then we let it go, because something like that simply can’t be comfortable.

What we fail to take into account when it comes to hospital beds is that they are the way they are for a specific reason.

It’s more than just being able to treat patients better. There’s another reason for that as well.

Adjustable beds are known for the delivery of comfort via ergonomics. That is, they make you comfortable in terms of how they make your body adjust to different positions. Your posture is changed, and that changes the pressure as you feel it on your spine.

For people who can’t get comfortable on a regular bed, that difference can be significant.

The Advantage of Foam Mattresses

Most of the time, when you’re talking about mattresses, most people will say that they’re comfortable with what they have. That’s probably because, whether they’re actually comfrotable with it or not, they’ve become accustomed to it: the firmness or the softness of it. They’ve probably resigned themselves to the thought that they can’t be made more comfortable than they are, and that there’s nothing to be done for it.

And in some cases that is undoubtedly true. But there are a lot of cases where the sleepers haven’t heard about the benefits of a foam mattress.

Sleeping on a foam mattress is a totally different experience from sleeping on an innerspring mattress. Innerspring mattresses are essentially mattresses comprised of supporting parts and empty spaces in between. The springs are responsible for giving your body support, keeping your spine in the proper alignment and making you comfortable.

Of course, that’s in theory. In practice, it doesn’t always work that way. What’s more likely to happen is that you put more weight in one place than in another, thus throwing your body’s alignment out of whack.

That is not the case with a foam mattress. Foam mattresses in general tend to function more as a cohesive whole - meaning that there are no gaps in the coverage that is being offered to your body. When you sink into the foam, it contours itself to the shape of your body, thus preserving the natural state of your alignment.

This holds true not just for people who sleep on their backs, but also those who sleep on their sides. Needless to say, this presents a distinct advantage, and it’s part of the reason for the rise of foam mattress popularity.

Buying a Mattress From Sleep Store USA

Sleep Store USA is not interested in making things complicated for you. You need to get some rest, and you’re looking to get the best rest that you can manage. If that’s true, then you need to have your mattress as soon as possible.

We want to get it to you as quick as we can as well.

We accept cash, check, and credit cards. We also offer a 0% financing option for families that can’t afford to buy the whole thing then and there.

Furthermore, we offer free return shipping if you ship it back to us within 30 days. If it takes longer than that for you to decide whether the mattress is good for you or not, that’s fine! We offer a 90-day trial, and if you have the mattress boxed up and shipped back to us within that time, we’ll still reimburse you for the price of the mattress.

We do all this because we ultimately want for this to be a good decision for you.

Buying a Mattress from Sleep Store USA

One of the things that we’re delighted to say is that buying a mattress from us isn’t really any more complicated than buying one anywhere else. This is a business, after all. We want to serve you, and we want to make a profit. We’re not going to go out of our way to make this a difficult process.

If you live in Las Vegas, you can come to the actual warehouse to pick up your mattress. If you are not a resident, you can place an order with us online.

And here’s the thing. We want you to enjoy this mattress. We want you to make sure that this is the best possible fit for you and your partner. So to start with, we give you 90 days to sleep on it. Test it out. See if it’s a good fit for you and your partner so that you’re both getting a good night’s sleep.

We consider this an in-home trial period. And if at any point during these first 90 days you feel that the mattress isn’t right for you, that’s fine! We’ll take it back, and you’ll have your money back within 15 days, courtesy of the payment method you used to pay for the mattress. Be careful with this, though. In order to get the money back, the mattress has to be boxed up and shipped back before the 91st day of your ownership.

Also, the money that you get back is going to be for the mattress itself, so it won’t cover the shipping fees... unless you ship it back within the first 30 days.

Importance of having a good mattress

If you have contemplated whether your mattress is the the problem with your sleep, then congratulations. You have just joined the thousands of people who have realized that the quality of their sleep is only as good as the quality of their mattress. A bad mattress will lead to poor posture, aching backs, and most importantly, a loss of quality sleep time. This translates into your waking hours as stress, pain, and that dreaded tired feeling that never goes away during the daytime. It can easily affect your personal and professional life and only you can make the choice to change things for the better. Consider a new mattress today that is designed to meet your body’s needs for a better nights sleep.

Why There Are Different Types of Mattresses

Have you ever heard that song on the Oldies stations? Talking about ‘different strokes for different folks’?

That’s kind of the reason that there are so many different types of beds today.

No two people are exactly alike, and part of that means that they don’t sleep the same either. It’s only natural that they’d require different mattresses.

And for some people that means a foam mattress or an air bed of some kind. But if they can’t be comfortable lying flat, then they need something that will let them adjust upward as necessary.

Why to Shop at Sleep Store USA for Foam Mattresses

When it comes to foam mattresses, most off-brand retailers will try to sell you something that’s low density. That means that it’s more reactive, which means it’s less supportive, and it doesn’t last as long.

But people buy into this kind of thing because they’re looking for a good night’s sleep for a low price. They’re inclined to take what they can get.

We say that doesn’t make sense. Especially if you can get a higher quality product for a price that’s in the ballpark of those other lower quality mattresses.

Choosing the Right Mattress

Boy, if we had a dollar for every time someone’s walked up to us and said they want the best mattress... well, we’d have an awful lot of dollars.

The problem, however, is that the question itself is objective, and the answer is subjective. There is such a thing as a best mattress for someone. But the best mattress for one isn’t necessarily going to be the best mattress for everyone.

Just to give you an example, that’s how the Sleep Number beds sell themselves - every body is a little bit different. Every body deals with staying in those positions for prolonged periods in a different way.

In general, the best mattress for you is going to be whatever mattress permits your spine to rest in the straightest possible line. Depending on how much you weigh, different mattresses will give you different results.

We’ll be happy to help you figure that out.

Why to Use Our Services

An honest question that you’re bound to have is why you should use our services when there are so many mattress providers out there.

It’s understandable. One of the great things about this country is that you don’t lack for options. You can look and find just about anything that you want. So the question is, if you can look anywhere, why stop looking with us?

Sleepstore USA’s specialty is in providing beds that are medically sound. What we mean by that is that we provide beds that are better-suited to individuals who can’t get their good night’s sleep on a normal spring mattress or box spring mattress. We’re talking about people who invest in a tempur-pedic mattress not because it sounds cool, but because they have no other options.

Here’s the thing, though. Those beds are expensive, because of the material. And spending extra money right now can be a bad idea. At the same time, though, your back does not care about how much or how little money you have in your pocket.

That’s where we come in, by providing a similar level of quality at a price that we think you’ll like better. We’d love the chance to show you more.

Why to Invest in a Good Mattress, and How We Can Get You There

Sleep is important. It doesn’t matter if you think you can go without it. You can’t. Not and stay well forever. One of two things will happen - either you’ll oversleep as your body corrects the balance, or you’ll get sick, because your body can’t keep up that level of energy forever.

Of course, you have your priorities, and you’re going to rationalize your way around this simple truth. So, you might as well take the right care of yourself and get on a mattress that’s going to give you the right support.

This is important. You want a good mattress because it’s going to help you find comfort sooner. Finding comfort sooner means you get to sleep sooner. Getting to sleep sooner means you get more of the REM sleep you need for your health. Not just your mental health, but also your physical well-being, because it’s during the night time that your body rebuilds itself.

Be careful how you pursue this, though. Not all mattresses are built the same. You can have box spring mattresses, latex mattresses, spring mattresses, futons, and memory foam mattresses. You need to be exposed to a lot of mattresses and figure out which one will work the best for you. The one that feels comfy to you is the one that you need to go with.

Here’s how Sleep Store USA can help you with that.

Sleep Store USA is discount mattress outlet that’s about matching the quality of a name brand product, without giving you a name brand price. Our specialty is in memory foam mattresses that manage to mimic the quality of tempurpedic materials, without the extra costs associated with the brand.

We aren’t the only ones who do this, of course. There are plenty of companies out there that promise a memory foam product that will mimic the effects of a tempurpedic mattress. What makes us different, however, is our investment into the quality of the product. Foam isn’t hard to come by - it’s a public resource. And we can construct our products with the right amount of foam, give it the proper material ratios, so that you get as close to that quality as you can for a much lower price.

And we’ll work with you too. It doesn’t matter if you’re setting up a bed for your home or for a trailer or for a truck on the road. We can cut to match any dimensions that you want. We are dedicated to the quality of your sleep, and we don’t care where you get it done so much as that you get it done.

Different Types of Mattresses

The temptation is to say that a mattress is a mattress. You sleep on it. It’s a flat surface. Hopefully you’re comfortable. If you’re not, well, then too bad for you.

But that’s not even a little true. The truth of the matter is that there are many different kinds of mattresses.

Believe it or not, though, we’re not going to count the adjustable bed as one of the types available. This is because the adjustable is a type of bed, not a mattress per se. Obviously it does require a certain kind of mattress to be flexible so it can work, but it’s the bed itself that necessitates that.

It’s just a philosophical thing. They’re still awesome, though.

You have your traditional box spring mattress, which is something you can find just about anywhere. This has been suitable for ages, and if you don’t have any back problems or any difficulty sleeping, this would probably suit you just fine.

On the other hand, there are other types of mattresses that we sell too. Generally, they’re suitable for people who have difficulty sleeping on a traditional mattress. But good health is no reason to miss out on a better night’s sleep.

You could be looking at one of our memory foam mattresses, which gives you better support and is comparable to a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Or you could go with one of our digital air mattresses, which compares to the sleep number bed you see in the stores.

In other words, there are different types of mattresses, for different sleepers and for different needs.
