Though the capsule bed has already been seen in futuristic movies and in some designer’s collections, we are now seeing this type of bed getting more recognition. Future capsule or pod beds will create a surrounding atmosphere for its occupant that includes temperature control, surround sound, and special lighting for a more peaceful sleep. Some predict that the newest capsule beds will feature implanted computer systems and will have the ability to sense the comfort level of their sleeper, to adjust the lighting, temperature, and sounds for the most relaxing sleep possible.

2. A Wave of Massage
We have all heard of the massage bed that you put a quarter in and get a little rumbling action from, but what if your next bed had a built in wave system of massage that gently worked each muscle group and even rocked you gently to sleep? These beds feature an alarm system that naturally wakes the occupant by creating a gentle rocking motion and lighting change that helps the body to naturally awaken.

Guest mattresses are an important addition to a home, yet they often go overlooked. It’s important to remember that the guest bed is not just a cheap formality, but should be a quality mattress. This doesn’t mean you have to spend big bucks on an expensive mattress, but you should invest in a well made product. Here are tips to remember when choosing the best guest mattress:

‘Tis the Season

The time when most people have guests is around the holidays. With so many holidays in such a short span of time, many family members will consolidate travel time and take an extended vacation. This means that you don’t want your family sleeping on a subpar mattress for two weeks! This is one of the most important reasons to invest in a good quality mattress; you never know how long someone will be sleeping on it. Continue reading →

Hybrid mattresses come in a variety of different combinations of materials. These mattresses can have memory foam, latex, innerspring composition, or other alternative materials. Here are a few reasons why you should be sleeping on a hybrid mattress:

Extra Comfort

The great thing about hybrid mattresses is that they provide supreme comfort. The latex or memory foam topper gives sleepers excellent comfort because the material conforms to your body to provide the most comfortable sleeping experience possible. Memory foam has been more sought after than ever lately because of its reputation for providing a weightlessly comfortable sleeping experience. The memory foam distributes weight more equally to help relieve nighttime joint pain and help you wake up more rested than ever before.

More Support

Hybrid mattresses offer comfort as well as support. The traditional innerspring mattress construction that is included in a hybrid composition provides the proper support to help relieve muscle tension and morning muscle aches. Most mattresses are supportive enough to provide relief of back and neck pain, while also providing the comfort of latex or memory foam. The innerspring core is necessary for proper back and neck alignment and support.

Value

Most name-brand latex or memory foam mattresses can be expensive. If you’re looking to avoid breaking the bank but want the same benefits that the quality materials provide, hybrid mattresses might be the best option for you. They feature a unique combination of various materials, are a more affordable option, and they don’t require a sacrifice of comfort or support.

Hybrid mattresses are perfect for sleepers who want the best of both worlds: the comfort of memory foam and the support of innerspring mattresses. Whether you’re looking for an extra plush sleeping surface or the firmest mattress available, hybrids are up to the challenge. Hybrids are offered in firm, cushion firm, plush, pillow top, and Euro top comfort levels to suit each sleeper individually. There are many combinations of materials that make up a hybrid mattress, so it’s essential to test them and see which one works best for you.

From AirCool design to Independent Support Technology, Beautyrest Mattresses have been revolutionizing the way we sleep since 1925. Beautyrest has been the leading choice for sleepers everywhere thanks to breakthrough technology and superior quality. Sit ‘n Sleep has listed a few reasons why Beautyrest is a leading brand:                                                                                               

Less Motion Transfer

Do you remember the famous bowling ball commercials? A bowling ball was dropped onto a mattress next to a dozen pins. The pins never fell, illustrating the quality of Beautyrest’s motion separation technology. Audiences loved this commercial, applauded the innovation, and quickly fell in love with the product. Beautyrest mattresses have long been known for their superior motion separation to allow sleepers a deeper sleep and fewer disturbances from a sleep partner. The pocketed innersprings allow for less motion transfer and a better night’s rest.

Stay Cool

The AirCool Design that Beautyrest developed consists of different components that work together to keep you at your ideal sleep temperature during the night. With AirCool memory foam to conform to your body and support you during sleep and AirCool BeautyEdge Foam Encasement to enhance air flow, a cool and restful night is guaranteed with this technology. Even the AirCool Mesh Border Fabric has Breathable Surround that allows for greater air flow through the mattress so you stay cool and sleep more soundly.

Get Support

The Independent Support Technology that Beautyrest utilizes provides conformability and back support for sleepers. The springs are tapered at the top to deliver initial comfort and body contouring. The spring continues to get wider near the base, which promotes proper sleeping posture by adding more layers of support. Beautyrest even offers the NuFlex Foundation, allowing sleepers to elevate the mattress to different positions ideal for reading, watching television, pressure relief and even clearer breathing during the night.

If you’re looking for a mattress that provides support, allows you to stay cool during the night and has minimal motion transfer, Beautyrest mattresses are the choice for you. Choose from a number of styles to fit your personal tastes, including Black, TruEnergy, ComforPedic, Elite and Classic. Since 1925, sleepers have been more than satisfied with these superior mattresses.

Sleep should be restful, right? So why do you spend the majority of your night tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable, and watching the hours tick by on the clock? There are a few things that could be causing your discomfort and lack of sleep, the main one being your mattress! We have a few tips on how to create the best night’s sleep: 

Have Support

As a mattress ages, it loses its shape. Have you ever slept in a bed that has a dent in the middle? That’s a clear sign that the mattress should have been replaced long ago. A saggy mattress or one that has simply lost its shape doesn’t provide you with the support you need throughout the night. Because your muscles have to work harder at staying in a comfortable or neutral position, you end up tossing and turning to try and find a more comfortable position. This means that you’re not getting the best sleep you could. 

Stay Healthy

Did you know that mattresses are a perfect breeding ground for various bacteria and dust mites? Between warmth from your body heat and food from your dead skin cells, millions of dust mites can live in a single mattress alone. Many people don’t realize that if you’re being kept awake at night, it could easily be because of nighttime allergies. The allergens that get caught in your mattress make for a restless night of sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or a sore throat. Saving money on not buying a mattress doesn’t really mean saving your health when you’re sleeping on a mattress that is infested with allergens. 

Get Personal

Mattresses are not “one size fits all”. Some people need more support, while others choose plush comfort. The size of your frame dictates the size of your mattress. A petite person would not necessarily need a California King, while someone with a larger frame would not find a Twin mattress too comfortable. Decide what’s right for you, your bedroom space, and your sleep partner, if you have one. Test out mattresses in the store; it’s recommended that you lay on a mattress in your normal sleeping position for at least 15 minutes in order to be able to tell whether or not you would truly find that mattress comfortable.

If you’re suffering from nighttime allergies, aches and pains in the mornings, and nights filled with tossing and turning, it may be time to buy a new mattress. Sit ‘n Sleep offers a variety of mattresses to allow each customer to find exactly what they need for the most rejuvenating night’s sleep.

It’s an age old question and when it comes to your mattress, size really does matter. From Twins to California Kings, there are many different size options for mattresses. We have 3 top reasons why you should be sleeping on a queen mattress:

Size Does Matter

The size of the mattress matters, but so does the size of the sleeper! If you’re over 5’5”, you should be looking for a queen or larger. For the average American man, a full size bed is simply too short, and his feet will hang off the edge. Full size and twin beds are made for people shorter than 5’5”. Considering most adults are about this height or taller, it’s an important fact to remember. It’s also important to remember your individual sleeping patterns. Some people sleep curled up, others stretch way out. The extra space gives you room to stretch out and find the most comfortable sleep position. 

Consider Your Sleep Partner

If you have a sleep partner, whether it’s your husband, wife, or overly attached dog, having enough space for both of you on the bed is essential. Running into each other all night or simply having someone else roll over onto your side, can interrupt your sleep and greatly disturb the quality of your night. A full size mattress is tight for two adults to squeeze into. Bumping your mattress size up to a queen, will give you that extra real estate you need to comfortably sleep through the night with your sleep partner.

Think of Your Space

Not the space in your bed, but the space in the entire room. A queen size mattress offers two adult sleepers adequate room to rest during the night. It still leaves space in the room for furniture, pets, children, or simply to prevent the bedroom from feeling too cluttered. It’s also an ideal size for guest room beds. A queen bed can fit two visitors, but also one visitor who likes to stretch out at night, while still accommodating space in the room for luggage.

Queen size mattresses are the most popular size that is sold. They allow space for two sleepers, adequate room for an adult of average height, and still leave space in the bedroom. Sit ‘n Sleep can help find the right mattress for you, so contact us today!

Financing is something people usually think of as reserved for new cars or other large purchases. But Sit ‘n Sleep now offers lease-to-own financing that allows customers more flexibility in the mattress payment options they choose. If you’ve got less than perfect credit, or simply want a financing option that makes your new mattress a better fit for your budget, lease-to-own financing may be for you:

What does lease-to-own mean?

Lease-to-own financing means that a customer can lease a mattress, make payments on it, and eventually own the mattress. Mattress buyers are obligated to buy the mattress, but it makes the initial purchase easier since the full purchase price isn’t required right away. All that’s necessary to pay is $40 as an initial payment that must be in cash or check. 

How can I qualify?

The great thing about this financing option is that there’s no credit check needed. So if you have a less than stellar credit history, it won’t affect your new mattress purchase. However, there are a few other requirements. You must be employed for 6 months at the same company, have an open and active checking account for 3 months that ends in a positive balance, and have a gross income of at least $1250 per month or before taxes.

During the process, you must bring in a valid photo ID, your most recent 30-day bank statement, a voided check or complete bank verification form, your pay stub and W-2 form. Along with bringing in a couple forms to prove your qualification, qualifying for the progressive finance lease purchase program is easy!

Why should I finance?

Using this financing plan is a smart option for many consumers. It allows customers to purchase the mattress they need, want, and deserve for a price they can afford. If you’ve got less than perfect credit, opting for this financing program is a perfect way to make this important purchase regardless of your credit. It allows you to break up the purchase price into smaller, more affordable payments to meet your budgetary needs while still allowing you to get the best sleep possible on your new mattress.

Sit ‘n Sleep is proud to offer financing options for customers who qualify. The company believes in getting everyone the best night’s sleep for the best price. Lease-to-own financing is just another way that Sit ‘n Sleep provides exemplary customer service, so find out if you qualify today!
