From Glenn -
Does sealy make a firm mattress in a twin with a comfort rating of 1 or 1.5? i don’t care if it is a reserve or signature series. I just want to get sealy’s firmest mattress.

Hi Glenn,
There isn’t one as firm as a 1 or 1.5 from Sealy – there are a few 2.5’s: Bryant Park, Akerman or Sealy Greenhurst Firm

From Susan -
We want a day bed with a pop up trundle…is there a special mattress for the trundle part?

Hi Susan,
You can use any twin size mattress for the trundle provided it is 8″ or
thinner. Our best selling mattress that fits that requirement is the Sealy Verda Cushion Firm.

Getting that good nights sleep.

Social media, the Internet, e-mail, the phone, we live in more-and-more connected world where business and life go on 24/7. What sometimes gets lost in the mix is getting a good nights sleep.

Is falling asleep, no matter the time, becoming a task for you? Are you tired of trying to count sheep? Are you tired of staying up until you possibly can’t stay awake any longer? Maybe it is time to look a little deeper into what might be causing these sleepless times.

Check out some of our tips which include avoiding alcohol and caffeine, relaxing before bed, keeping a regular schedule (easier said then done) and avoiding distractions like noise, light and the issues of the last day.

Also make sure to sleep in a bed that is comfortable. If your mattress is more than ten years old, you should think about getting something newer. If it is a new mattress, check into some new sheets or a down duvet. A welcoming and comfortable bed makes falling sleep that much easier.

Some other suggestions by 4therapy.com include avoiding cat-naps during the day, exercising regularly and eating smart with nothing heavy. A thorough how to sleep well every night guide highlighting everything above and more can be found on HelpGuide.org.

If none of these suggestions are helping and you think it might be more, check out this quick sleep disorders quiz by WebMD. If concerned please consult your doctor. You only have one body, so despite the continuously moving world we now live in, make sure you take the time to get the sleep you need.

Bed Bugs, they’re back! What can you do?

Aaron — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:22:50 +0000

Bed bugs, they’re back! After disappearing in the US for decades, they’re back in a big away affecting people everywhere from hotels to at home. These pesky hitchhiker’s are here most likely as the result of overseas travelers coming into the US. Once here they found there away quickly inside mattresses, suitcases, pant seems, inside the keys of laptop computers, going anywhere they can find a hidden and narrow crack.

You will never see them as they tend to come out when you least expect it, like when it’s dark and your fast asleep. Don’t fret though, generally bed bugs are not considered a health threat. They usually leave itchy red welts that last three or four days.

Check out these informative resources on what bed bugs are and some tricks on helping to prevent and fight off these pests.

Random Mattress Fact

Brenda — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:22:37 +0000

In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, “Good night, sleep tight.”
