Picking a Mattress: Motion Separation for Toss and Turners

Eric is here with what to look for when buying a mattress. The big thing that you should consider before buying a mattress is motion separation. This is referring to the amount of vibration that spreads throughout the mattress. This is crucial when you sleep with a partner. You and your partner will move around or literally jump into bed, motion separation can determine if you can feel it and potentially wake you up. There are three types of motion separation that Eric talks about today. Take a look at the differences and determine which one is best for you.

Innerspring- This is the traditional type of mattress. There is movement throughout the mattress. The coil springs are hand-tied together making them move together.

You can check out our innerspring mattresses here.

Hybrid Technology- This type of mattress uses coils still, but the individual coils are pocketed meaning that they are separated and are not tied together. This allows the coils to move separately making the motion separation better in the sense that you won't feel your partner jumping into bed as much.On the top layer, you will have memory foam for comfort and support.

Check out our hybrid mattresses here.

Tempurpedic Technology- This option does not have any coils at all in the inside of the mattress. This type of mattress just has memory foam. When having just memory foam, the motion separation is the highest it can get and you practically cannot feel other vibrations that come from different corners or sides of the bed.

How to Choose the Right Pillow for You

Hello, this is Joe Sweeney from the Appliance Factory & Mattress Kingdom, in Grand Junction Colorado. 

We are often times so wrapped up in to thinking that our poor night’s rest is only due to a bad mattress.  Actually, the mattress is just one part of the equation.  Your true discomfort may actually be coming from your old worn out pillow! This post is aimed at helping you find the right pillow just perfect for your sleeping needs.

 First of all, we need to determine how you sleep at night.  For someone who sleeps on their stomach, you will need a fairly flat pillow.  If you sleep on your back, you will need a medium thickness in your pillow.  If you are a side sleeper, you will usually use the thickest pillows out there depending on your body frame.  For someone who sleeps in all positions throughout the night, we recommend a medium thickness pillow.

Next you will need to find the right filling material for your pillow. We recommend trying several different materials to find the right fit.  For stomach sleepers, a firm pillow might not be ideal. You probably need more of a soft pillow. For warmer sleepers, a Bed Gear Storm Series pillow with cooling gel might be the right fit for you. The cooling gel makes the pillow nice and chill to keep your body temperature down. There are also memory foam pillows. This material adjusts and fit into your every curve.

Today I would like to introduce you to our line of Bed Gear Pillows.  Bed Gear offers a wide variety of pillow types to help you customize a great night’s sleep.  Beg Gear offers pillows that are specific to your sleep style. Whether you are a side sleeper, a back sleeper, or a stomach sleeper we can help you find the pillow that’s right for you.  Many of their pillows have unique “cooling qualities” to them, so if you’re a “hot sleeper” you can rest assured that you’ll stay cooler throughout the night.

These different options might sound amazing, but in the end the best idea is to go into one of our stores and actually try out the pillows. When you try out the pillows, you will find the perfect fit.

Come see us today so we can help you select the sleep solution that best suits your needs. We hope to see you soon and make your every night the best sleep of your life!

4 Most Common Reasons People Purchase a New Mattress

1. Tossing & Turning

Tossing & Turning can lead to many sleepless nights. The most common reason being the type of mattress you own. It can be to soft or too firm, causing pressure and making you uncomfortable. You may be sleeping too hot or too cold also impacting your sleep.

2. Partner Disturbance
Having a restless partner to share a bed with can easily effect your sleep. Traditional spring mattresses do not isolate the motion transfer from your partner moving as great as memory foam & pocketed coil mattresses do.

3. Body Impressions

Typically you sleep in the same spot night after night causing your mattress to compress & conform to your body making an impression of your body. This could happen due to low quality material & inexpensive components leading to a less comfortable sleep. 

4. Old Technology

There have been much advancement in mattress technology you may not be aware of. Older mattresses like spring mattresses are the most common types used but are arguably the worst for your sleep. Newer mattress technology like memory foam & latex is designed with the consumer in mind by ensuring a better night’s sleep through comfort & little to none motion transfer.

We recommend you purchase a new mattress every 8 years! Over the course of this time-frame your mattress accumulates weight due to dead skin cells and bugs! Who wants that?

Selecting the Right Mattress for YOU

 Finding the right mattress for you can sometimes be a daunting task. There are so many choices and styles and so many companies paying millions of dollars for your attention through advertising. Here are some basics for your consideration:

• Innerspring:  The type of mattress that most people are familiar. Uses tempered steel coils for support in a variety of configurations. They come with different types of layers of upholstery which provide insulation and cushioning between your body and the springs. This results in a wide range of comfort choices.

•  Foam/Memory Foam: Foam mattresses offer a wide choice of sleeping sensations or feels. These can be made of a solid core or of several layers of different types of foam laminated together. Visco-elastic or “memory” foam is thought to be better at pressure point reliever. The knock on these types, has been that they sleep “hot”. The advance in technology and the addition of cooling material into the foam has all but eliminated this issue.

• Hybrids: These are just a combination of the above 2. Usually a spring unit with layers of foam on top. Giving you the traditional support feel of a spring and the adaptive comfort of foam.

There are many other mattress alternatives to address individuals’ needs, including airbeds, waterbeds, and adjustable beds to name a few. When choosing a mattress, evaluate it for comfort, support, durability and space.

When trying out a bed, be sure to lie down in your typical sleep position. Pay close attention to the level of support and comfort, especially the shoulders, hips and lower back. Do this whether you are a side, back, or stomach sleeper. Then try a different mattress, noticing the difference in support or comfort. You should spend at least 5 minutes on each mattress you try. This may seem a bit time consuming, but you will be spending about a third of your day in bed, every day that you own it. So, a little time spent when choosing can pay big dividends in the quality of sleep you are able to achieve.
