“Get some rest.” That is one of the most common pieces of advice offered by any doctor for any ailment. Medical researchers have proven that the body needs rest in order to rejuvenate itself. Without that rest, cells can’t repair themselves and the brain can’t “reboot.” All you need is a good night’s sleep. Easier said than done, right? A person who can’t get to sleep can blame stress and anxious thoughts. They can also blame some health issues like back pain or a random flu. What they shouldn’t blame is their mattress. Unfortunately, too many people are sleeping on the wrong mattress for them and in many cases don’t even know it. How old is your mattress? If you can’t remember or know it’s over five years then you should get serious about buying a new mattress.

One of the first things you should do before shopping for a mattress is check in with your doctor. Yes, ol’ doc might be able to offer you some important tips to help you get the right fit for a mattress. For instance, many people think that just because they have a bad back they need a firm mattress. What your doctor should tell you is that you need firm support with a comfortable feel. That level of comfort can only be defined by your preferences but don’t try to sleep on a “board” to cure a bad back.

Many mattresses are sold with a “pillow top”  design. This is an added layer of support meant to help with foam compression. However, if there won’t be a lot of weight pressing down on this top, you don’t need that extra layer to stand in between you and your coils or support system.

You might also want to look into an adjustable bed. These would be the same type of beds found in most hospitals but with a much better mattress. Adjustable beds are great for someone who prefers to do a lot of reading or watching television in bed.

Above all else you should ask about a comfort guarantee. You might be one of the lucky ones in terms of adjusting to your new mattress in the first night. Typically, this adjustment period lasts longer for most people. Sometimes several weeks. However, if you’re getting close to the 30 day mark and the mattress still doesn’t feel right you should be able to return it for a replacement or refund.

After you’ve purchased your new mattress you’ll want to remove the old one. You can’t put that out with the other garbage. The best option would be to hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Hudson Valley who can handle the assignment. What’s great is that they don’t have to just pick up your old mattress. On that same trip they can remove any other junk you want taken out of your home. You’ll sleep a whole lot better knowing you’ve got the right mattress and your home is free of junk!
