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 the ideal mattress is different for each person.

Finding the right mattress isn't about searching out the highest-tech brand or spending the most money. A much more expensive mattress doesn't necessarily mean it's better. A high price tag is a product of both the materials that go into the mattress, and the marketing that helps sell it. Here at Surplus we know what's most important for you is a good night sleep without spending a lot of money.

We can help you find what you want in a mattress. Selecting a mattress is very personal. Some people prefer a firmer mattress; others favor a softer style. Although there isn't a lot of scientific evidence to prove that one type of mattress will help you sleep better than another, people with certain medical conditions do seem to rest easier on a particular mattress style.

Anyone with back or neck pain should take a Goldilocks approach to mattress buying: not too hard, and not too soft. "If you're on too soft of a mattress, you'll start to sink down to the bottom. But on a hard mattress you have too much pressure on the shoulders, and on the back of the head." "You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it," So why would you invest hundreds of dollars in a mattress without trying it out first? We encourage you to take any new mattress you're considering for a test nap. "People should not be embarrassed to go into a store and lay on a mattress for a few minutes."
