It's 1:00 AM.. Do you know what you're sleeping with?

Did you know 7 out of 10 of us have trouble sleeping. According to the National Sleep Foundation sleeplessness is dangerous to your health and increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, viral illness, heart disease, and depression. Did you also know that many of us spend $10,000 to $20,000 on a car we drive maybe 15 minutes a day and much less on a mattress we spend 8 hours a day on? Did you know that your mattress is the piece of furniture you spend most of your time on? Did you also know that mattresses have a life? The life of most mattresses is 7-8 years. Every 10 years your mattress doubles in weight due to the accumulation of skin cells, dust mite debris and perspiration. (NASTY) HOW OLD IS YOUR MATTRESS?

(If your mattress is more than two years old chances are you snuggle up with about 1.5 million of this guys closest friends every night.)

At UFS we carry two different manufactured mattresses, Sealy and Englander. They are both excellent products, but because we're all a little different so are they. Some of us like FIRM. Some of us like PILLOWTOP. Some of us like the in between. What you have to do is lay on the bed. Within several minutes you'll discover what's best for you. After any mattress purchase you need to understand your body has to adjust. Usually it takes a minimum of 2 weeks before you fully adjust to a new mattress. Initially your body tells you.... This is not where I'm supposed to be sleeping... because I'm use to that piece of junk you've made me sleep on.... But gradually you'll convince your body that this is the new mattress on which you belong.


So for any of you watching tv at 3-4 am because you can't sleep, you need to come to UFS and speak to one of our mattress specialist about getting some better sleep.
