5 Common Sleep Problems and How to Solve Them

Sleep is a valuable commodity. You shouldn’t compromise those precious eight hours, but it happens night after night. You stay up late to work or sleep on a bad mattress, resulting in sleepless nights and groggy days.

According to #Serta and the National Sleep Foundation, there are five common sleep problems people suffer from.

The good news? A quality mattress fixes these problems.

1.      Tossing and turning

            Turn left, turn right. Switch from your stomach to your back. Repeat. All night. Sound familiar? You lose sleep with every unnecessary toss and turn. Don’t waste another second of rest. A #Serta mattress has Comfort Right layers of foam and fiber which provide instant comfort. It reduces pressure points which cause discomfort, resulting in more restful and uninterrupted sleep.

2.      Lack of support

            If you’re sinking into your mattress, or it’s stiff as a board, you need something better. #Serta mattresses are made of durable and flexible materials which promote proper alignment for your entire body. You’ll wake up refreshed without any aches or pains.

3.      Poor sleep temperature

            Are you hot…then cold? Cycling through the “covers/no covers” debate doesn’t help, but a better mattress does. A balanced sleep temperature is key to sleeping well. Serta’s Cool Balance technology and a high-quality mattress design creates optimal airflow so you stay the right temperature all night.

4.      Partner problems

            Your spouse (unintentionally) moves around a lot at night, disrupting your sleep. Fortunately, you can own a mattress which minimizes the impact from your partner. A well-crafted mattress isolates movement at the source so you sleep peacefully no matter how much your spouse moves.

5.      Sagging and roll-off

            You want a durable and long-lasting mattress that doesn’t sag or have sinkholes. Don’t settle for second-best. Purchase a mattress which promotes comfort and rest.

You don’t have to endure these five common sleep problems. Invest in a quality mattress and you’ll sleep problem-free.

How to Choose a Mattress

Losing sleep over your mattress? Maybe it’s because your mattress is lumpy, bumpy or old.

Or maybe it’s because you’re stressing over how to find a new mattress. Where do you start? How much time should you research before going to a store? Can you lie down on a floor-model mattress?

Worry no more! These handy hints will help you select the best mattress.

1. Mattress age

It’s important to know how old your mattress is. A good trick is if your mattress is over 8 years old, it’s time to buy a new one. It also depends on your personal preference. If you’re restless or waking up in pain, you should consider a new mattress.

2. Type of mattress

This also varies from person to person. There are a few common choices on the market which fulfill a variety of needs for sleepers of all kinds: hybrids, latex, memory foam, coils, pillow-top and adjustable. Whatever you choose, it’s important to research each type beforehand.

3.  Set a budget

Just like with every big purchase, make a budget. When you have a budget, you can shop -- and buy! -- with confidence. And don’t be afraid to pay for quality. You use your mattress night after night. It should have the highest quality at an affordable price. And we have plenty of those mattresses available in our store.

4.  Firm or soft?

Firmness is highly subjective. Test out mattresses in the store. Sit, lay down and move around a little. There’s a level of firmness specific to you and your body type.

5.  Sleep position

Do you sleep on your side, stomach or back? Or do you go through different positions throughout the night? Certain styles of mattresses (see #2) conform to the shape of your body.

The Mattress of Your Dreams

Mattress shopping. Do you prefer memory foam or traditional coil? And what is a hybrid? Isn’t that a type of car?

While the shapes and sizes of mattresses are standard, that doesn’t make it a “one size fits all” purchase. Your mattress should reflect your own style and comfort, which is completely different from someone else’s. So where to start? The first thing you need to decide is what type of mattress you want.

Coil mattresses have been around a long time and their construction is sound. They are well-ventilated which keeps you cool at night — definitely a plus during hot summer nights. Coil mattresses don’t conform to the contours of your body, so they spring back into action when you climb into bed. It’s like a blank slate each night that adjusts to any manner in which you sleep.

However, some people like a mattress which holds the shape of their body. If so, then you’re a #memoryfoam person. A memory foam mattress is like owning a suit which was tailored for you. If you have back aches or problems, this mattress helps because it supports important pressure points throughout the body. Don’t have any aches or pains? Memory foam can help in preventing pain from starting. You can also do your part for the environment by finding a mattress with the CertiPUR-US certification.

Both mattresses sound appealing. Can’t decide? How about a #hybridmattress? For some consumers, a hybrid mattress is the ultimate answer. These mattresses have two or more support systems — usually memory foam and an innerspring system. It’s the best of both worlds. You get the pressure relieving power of memory foam with the classic feel of a spring mattress.

These are the three big players in the #mattress world. One is waiting for you. When you find it, you’ll have peace of mind and a great night’s sleep.

Sleep Sabotage

Sleep. A rarity in your household. Not because you stay up late or drink too much caffeine. You just can’t fall asleep. You toss and turn before finally drifting off into a fitful sleep. This is no way to live. As soon as you hit the mattress the nightly battle for sleep begins.

But maybe that’s the culprit — your mattress. You’ve had the same one since college. Maybe it’s time to upgrade?

You’ve suffered long enough. Now you want to sleep in luxury. The #Serta iComfort Series oozes class and luxury. Mattresses feature gel memory foam, which is a material infused with millions of gel beads that respond to your individual needs for comfort, support and temperature regulation. Sounds like heaven. What if you’re not an all-foam mattress type of person? Not to worry. #Serta hybrid mattresses combine the gel memory foam with the support of an advanced innerspring.

You don’t just want comfort, though. Should you spend every night unknowingly breathing in toxic chemicals hidden in your mattress? Absolutely not! West Coast Appliance and Furniture has you covered here, too, being the only ones in the Rogue Valley with a 100% certified pure U.S. grade organic mattress. Similar to organic vegetables, organic mattresses don’t have all the nasty chemicals regular mattresses do.

You also know someone who needs more room to spread out when they sleep. They always

dread mattress shopping because their feet dangle off the edge of regular mattresses. In your search you’ve found something for them, too! The HD Super Duty mattress is perfect for those big and tall. No more feet hanging off the edge of the bed.

Sleep is a precious commodity. Don’t waste another millisecond of sleep because of a bad mattress. West Coast Appliance and Furniture has the mattress of your dreams ready and waiting.
