How to Create a Comfortable Guest Room

With December in full swing, it’s safe to say the holiday season is upon us! As you start to solidify your plans for the major holidays and smaller, family and friend gatherings in between, the question of hosting is likely on your mind.

Whether you host a few loved ones every year or this is your first time housing guests for a few days, you want to be sure everything goes according to plan. At Mattress & More, we want to help increase your confidence in hosting with these tips on how to prepare your guest room for the perfect home away from home for your guests.

Ensuring your visitors have a space to decompress after their travel days and throughout their stay is the most important part of hosting for their piece of mind, and yours! Follow these tips to take the hassle out of hosting and to make the most of your families' stay.


1) Start with a Good Mattress

The upkeep of your guest room can be easy to forget about, especially since you’ve likely never stayed in your own and this can directly translate to the quality of the mattress in the room. If you haven’t replaced your guest room mattress in a few years or it’s a leftover mattress that is no longer used by someone who’s moved out of the house it is likely time to replace it! Check out Mattress & More’s selection of mattresses for hundreds less than you’ll find anywhere to make sure your guests sleep comfortably!

2) Declutter the Space

Often, guest rooms are used in other ways throughout the majority of the year including as a home office, storage space, or for personal gym equipment. It's important that your guest feels as if the space is their own for the duration of their stay and this will only be achievable if it is not completely filled with your own personal items. Stop by your nearest Mattress & More location to browse our bedroom furniture options in order to declutter and provide your guests with storage options for their own personal items.


3) Turn the Space into One Ideal for Sleeping and Entertainment

Your guest room should be more than just a space for those visiting to sleep at night. Your guests will want a space to decompress on their own between the hype of their visit. Provide guests with books and magazines to read during their stay and provide the WiFi name and password on a card for them to connect to.

4) Prep the Room Ahead of Time

The to-do lists for holiday plans and events can sometimes seem to grow faster than you can check things off so create them strategically, getting things that can be done at any time done way in advance. Prepping your guest room now, even if you’re still weeks away from hosting, is a great way to get started and reduce some stress right off of the bat.

4 Reasons to Switch to an Adjustable Bed Base

Sleep is an essential part of a healthy and productive lifestyle. Choosing the right mattress for your sleep needs is an important first step towards a good night’s sleep, but for some it’s not enough. Adjustable bed bases give you the chance to customize your sleeping experience further than the traditional mattress foundation, giving you your best night of sleep possible. 

Adjustable beds are a perfect match for seniors looking for a good night’s sleep, a person who is looking to relieve aches and pains, or even for help getting in and out of bed but the benefits of motion bases are not limited to those in their older years. Sales of adjustable bed bases are increasing and younger people are starting to realize the benefits of switching to motion bases and how well adjustable bases work for their lifestyle. Adjustable beds are perfect for creating healthy sleeping posture before pains start to set in, easing and increasing comfort of reading, watching tv or working on a laptop, and creating an all around better night’s sleep. Looking for more information? Read on for 4 reasons an adjustable bed base might be right for you! 

1) Motion Bases Help Relieve Pain 

If you wake up with more aches and pains than when you went to sleep, an adjustable bed base could be what you’re missing. A traditional, non-adjustable mattress foundation often worsens existing medical conditions or pains, leaving you not as well rested and in more pain than you should be in the morning. The transition to a motion base can help alleviate soreness from medical conditions and chronic pain. 

2) Adjustable Bases Are For Everyone! 

Switching to a motion base allows you to sleep in the most comfortable position for your body. The adjustable base allows for a number of customizable positions by raising or lowering your feet and/or your head and torso in order to help you feel more refreshed when you wake up. Motion bases are ideal for those with insomnia or breathing problems, but can also help anyone alleviate swollen joints and minor back pain. 

3) Motion Bases Help You Relax In Other Ways! 

In addition to helping you sleep better at night, adjustable bases work better with your lifestyle when you’re awake as well. Do you like to watch TV or read a book in bed? Motion bases allow you to raise your head up, relieving neck strain and ensuring you remain comfortable during your favorite bedtime activities. 

4) Adjustable Bed Bases are More Affordable than Ever Before! 

You may have browsed motion bases at other mattress stores and thought they were out of your price range. Luckily, Mattress & More offers quality options that can help ensure you get a health night’s rest for as low as $699. Stop into your nearest Mattress & More showroom or shop online to start sleeping better, today!

The Best Mattress Sets for Hot Sleepers

Do you find yourself tossing and turning every night, unable to get comfortable in your bed? Does the majority of your discomfort come from feeling hot, sweaty, or overheated? Believe it or not, you are not alone. A large number of people are “hot sleepers,” which means that their body temperature rises as they lie in bed each night. Sometimes it is the type of bedding or sleepwear that they use that can contribute to this issue, while other times it is their choice of mattress. If you find it difficult to keep cool each night, allow us to make some recommendations. Read on to learn more about the best mattress sets for people who sleep hot.

Innerspring Mattress Sets

Innerspring mattresses have been in homes since the late 1800s, and one of the reasons these mattresses remain popular to this day is that they maintain a cool, comfortable sleep surface. Innerspring mattress sets are often more breathable than their memory foam counterparts, as the space between their interior coils promotes consistent airflow. If keeping cool is a very significant concern for you, then you may even want to choose a firm innerspring mattress over a soft one. When you sleep on a soft innerspring mattress, your body will sink into the upholstery and restrict the flow of air around you. On a firm innerspring mattress; however, your body will lie on top of the mattress, which will allow the air to flow more freely and keep you cool all night long.  

Gel Foam Mattress Sets

While some foam mattresses are known to sleep hotter than innerspring mattresses, gel foam mattresses are the exception. While these mattresses are made from the same body-contouring viscoelastic foam found in traditional memory foam mattresses, they feature the addition of gel beads mixed throughout. These gel beads have a cooling effect that draws heat away from the body. The innovative engineering of a gel foam mattress set will regulate your temperature while you sleep, helping you to stay cool and sleep comfortably.

If you are ready to improve your sleep space, we encourage you to stop by Mattress & More today. We offer mattresses from top name brands, including Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Tempur-Pedic, and more! Whether you are a hot sleeper, a cool sleeper, or somewhere in between, we can help you find the mattress set that is the right fit for you.

3 Signs that Your Mattress is No Longer Doing its Job

Mattresses are not made to last forever. It may be hard to accept, especially if you have held on to the same mattress for over a decade, but it is something that you need to come to terms with. Mattresses generally have a lifespan ranging between 10-15 years, and once your mattress exceeds that time frame, the level of comfort and support it provides will start to decrease. If you have been holding on to a mattress that is well past its prime, it could end up affecting your sleep, and even your health. Read on to learn the three major warning signs that indicate it’s time to buy a new mattress.

1. Your Mattress Has Noticeable Bumps & Grooves 

Your mattress should always provide a smooth, consistent surface. Regularly flipping and rotating your mattress will help reduce the pressure your body places on your mattress, but after years and years of use, body impressions and indentations will start to gradually form. If you notice that parts of your mattress have uneven bumps and grooves, or that your mattress seems to sink in at certain spots, that is a clear indication that your mattress needs to go. An uneven mattress will not only fail to provide the support your body needs, but it can also cause pain and stiffness over time.  

2. Your Mattress is Harboring Allergens & Pests 

While many people clean their bedding on a regular basis, they may not realize that they need to regularly clean their mattress as well. Over time, your mattress accumulates dead skin cells and sweat, and without cleaning your mattress on a consistent basis, you could end up with mold growth or a dust mite infestation. Both things can wreak havoc on your allergies, making it nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep. If you notice that your allergy symptoms always seem to increase around bedtime, then your mattress is most likely the culprit, and it is time to get a new one.

3. Your Mattress is Causing You Pain 

Do you wake up each day with new aches and pains? Do you feel stiff and uncomfortable when you get out of bed most mornings? Chances are, it’s not you, it’s your mattress. As your mattress ages, memory foam may wear down and mattress springs may break. The more worn out your mattress is, the more discomfort it will cause. The moment you notice your mattress is causing you pain and discomfort, that is the time to get a new one.

If you realize it’s time to part with your current mattress, we encourage you to visit Mattress & More today! Our mattress store offers a large selection of top-quality mattresses and mattress sets from brand names you can depend on, including Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, and more! We offer innerspring mattresses and memory foam mattresses made from innovative materials that will provide you with luxury and comfort for years to come. To browse our complete collection of brand name mattresses, shop with us online or visit us at one of our spacious mattress showrooms today.

Start the New Year with a Clean & Healthy Mattress!

2018 is officially here, and it’s time to make the most of the new year. With every new year comes a list of resolutions and positive plans for the months ahead. While most new year resolutions include things like exercise goals and diet plans, have you ever thought about adding mattress care to the list as well? If you take just a little bit of time this month to do some mattress maintenance, you can look forward to a clean, comfortable, and healthy sleep environment for the rest of the year. Follow our simple tips and start your year off right!

Give Your Mattress a Deep Cleaning

Wouldn’t you like to start the new year with a fresh and clean mattress? This year, go the extra step beyond laundering your linens, and give your mattress some extra love and care. Take some time to vacuum your mattress to remove any dust or debris. Notice any stains on your mattress surface? Vinegar or peroxide can both work wonders when it comes to stain removal. Is your mattress not smelling as fresh as it used to? Sprinkle some baking soda on your mattress and let it sit for a few hours. After you vacuum up the baking soda, your mattress will smell as fresh as a daisy!

Purchase a Quality Mattress Protector

Once you have your mattress looking and feeling fresh and clean, purchase a mattress protector to help keep it that way. Our mattress protectors will shield your mattress from dust and pesky allergens, helping to prevent dust mite infestations and allergy flare-ups. Our mattress protectors are also made from waterproof, breathable fabrics that will wick away moisture while you sleep and protect your mattress from any spills or accidents. Mattress protectors offer an easy and inexpensive way to guard your mattress all year long.

Replace a Mattress That is Past Its Prime

Though it may be hard to hear, sometimes you need to let go of your mattress. At the start of this new year, it is important to consider if your current mattress is providing all the comfort and support that your body needs. If your mattress shows dents and impressions or is beginning to cause your body more pain than relief, then now is the perfect time to make a change. At Mattress & More, we have an extensive selection of high quality mattresses for sale that will completely transform your quality of sleep. Our mattresses are also exceptionally affordable, which means that you can purchase a new one and still keep your budget right on track for the new year.
