    Sleeping With the Enemy...

    Screen Shot 2015-12-04 at 3.28.21 PMMattress protectors are important for two major reasons: keeping your mattress free of stains, and preventing exposure to dust mites, microbes, and other potential allergens. There are many reasons why every owner of a mattress should protect their mattress with a health guard. Mainly for their own health and also to protect their investment and warranty.

    Free of Stain Mattress

    Did you know that even the smallest stain on your mattress will void your mattress warranty? A smudge of dirt, blood stain or a spilled juice drink stain will void your valuable warranty, meaning that the manufacturer will not honour any claim on your stained mattress. Most mattresses are not cheap; a warranty can be very valuable and important. It is in every people's interest to protect the mattress warranty as best as possible. So it is important that your mattress protector is waterproof.

    Mattress Protector Vs. Encasement

    MattressProtector_BedroomWhen it comes to purchasing a new mattress, the challenge we all face is finding the right mattress that fits our comfort. Once that comfort has been found, we often think that is all we need to worry about when it comes to our new mattress. In reality, the two main things to consider when buying a mattress is 1) finding the right comfort of mattress and 2) how to protect that new mattress. Many times, we neglect to protect our new investment and forget how the life span of our new mattress can be prolonged.

    Thankfully at Surplus Furniture not only can you save hundreds of dollars on a premium mattress set, you can protect that investment for as little as $39. We offer a Health Protector or a Mattress Encasement both at factory direct prices to assist in protecting your investment.

Many of our luxury beds contain gel memory foam. If you have never tried it, I would definitely recommend it. We have had amazing feedback on the Gel Memory Foam and most luxury beds contain it. So what is Gel Memory Foam anyways, to start, let's first discuss memory foam. Memory foam was designed by NASA back in the 1970's to improve seat cushioning and crash protection for pilots and passengers. It's made from a substance called Viscoelastic. It's incredibly soft and energy absorbent, which means that it minimizes impact. How does it work? Well, memory foam reacts to heat and pressure, by molding to the contours of your body, evenly distributing all the weight. The foam returns to it's original shape, once the pressure is removed. The only real negative side of memory foam is the fact that it retains h

Although a twin is an ideal size for a small child, a growing teen might be a little cramped. Investing in a larger size now, may save you money down the road. Queen mattresses are not only wider than a full size, like most people think, but they are also 5” longer. An important feature for those blessed with height. A King size is ideal for master suites.

    Know When to Say “Good Bye” to Your Old Mattress!

    “Should I buy a new mattress?” If you’re asking yourself this question, it’s probably because sleeping has become a little less comfortable, and your mattress is a lot less supportive. Though there isn’t any set time period for replacing your mattress, it might be time to shop for a new one if:

    • You regularly wake up grouchy, achy or tired. • You’re getting a better night's sleep when you’re away, rather than in your own bed. • You notice your mattress is looking a bit lumpy or saggy. • You’re over the age of 40, and you’ve already had your mattress for 5 years or more. (as we age, our bodies tolerate less pressure to the joints)

    Do any of these points sound familiar? If so, get into your closest Surplus Furniture and Mattress Warehouse and let one of our knowledgeable staff help you pick out the perfect mattress set to get you sleeping w

    Good Nights Sleep Starts at Surplus

    good-night-and-sleep-well

    You spend about a third of every day in bed. Whether that time is spent blissfully slumbering or tossing and turning depends a lot on your mattress.

    Our mattress experts know a mattress can impact a person's sleep. One way that your mattress affects your sleep has to do with the network of fine blood vessels, called capillaries, that runs underneath your skin.

    When you lie on any part of your body for an extended period of time, the weight of it reduces the flow of blood through those blood vessels, which deprives the skin of oxygen and nutrients. This causes nerve cells and pain sensors in your skin to send a message to your brain for you to roll over. Rolling over restores blood flow to the area, but it also briefly interrupts your sleep.

    Ideally, a mattress that reduces the pressure points on your body should give you a better night's sleep. Yet

    Helpful Tips When Buying a Mattress

     

    Mattress_row

    1) You won’t toss and turn on the right mattress.

    Some people may tell you that a new mattress can eliminate tossing and turning. While pressure-points play a role in restless nights, moving in your sleep can be a normal habit unrelated to your bed. A good rule of thumb for determining if your bed is to blame: if you can’t get comfortable do to pain or awake with sore spots.

    2) The firmer the better.
