The Importance of a Good Night's Sleep

At Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, sleep is our business.  After all, we do have "slumber" in our name!  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks wants to make sure that all of our customers realize just how important a good night's sleep is to a productive and healthy life, and exactly how they can get this.  

People generally spend about 1/3 of their life sleeping.  Lack of sleep can affect every part of your life.  Fatigue will make you cranky, confuse you, and possibly even make you sick.  If you don't take care of the problem, it could lead to illness such as heart attacks and strokes, irregular blood pressure, and increase your risk for diabetes.  Your brain won't be able to function correctly and this will affect your memory.  



Here are some great tips to help you sleep better, making you feel better, and lending to a much happier life.  

Turn your bedroom into a peaceful retreat.

Clutter causes restlessness.  Keep your bedroom tidied up at all times.  An ideal temperature for sleep is around 67 degrees.  Grab a blanket if that is a bit chilly for you.  Any light can make it difficult to fall asleep.  Blackout drapes are ideal for keeping the room dark.  Sleep masks can also be very helpful.    

The mattress makes a difference.  

Your mattress should support not only your body type, but also your sleep situation. Slumberland Furniture's mattresses come in a wide variety of sizes and styles.  A mattress that you have been using for 10 years or more is ready to be replaced.  If you wake up feeling stiff, numb, or achy (or if you cannot sleep for these reasons) then your mattress is not right for you.  A brand new mattress can open up a whole new world of comfort and peaceful rest. 

Set a sleep schedule and stick to it.  

This is sometimes easier said than done, but it is an important step in forming good sleep habits.  The ideal hours for sleep are between 10 pm & 6 am.  This isn't set in stone, but you really should shoot for a full 8 hours at some point during the night. Forcing yourself to go to be at the same time each evening and getting up with your alarm (stop hitting that snooze button!) will soon put you in a healthy routine and improve your sleep.  

Watch what you eat.

Your diet can affect everything in your life, just like a lack of sleep will.  These food tips can help you to get a good night's sleep.

• Don't go to bed hungry, but don't be too full either.  Stop eating at least 2-3 hours before your bedtime.
• If you are having trouble sleeping, you should not drink any caffeine after noon.
• Avoid alcohol right before bed.  It may make you drowsy, but it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Following this advice can greatly improve the amount of restful sleep that you get every night.  Once you achieve this, you will notice a dramatic difference in the quality of your daily life.  Stop by our Lake of the Ozarks mattress store soon and let us show you the variety of styles that Slumberland Furniture has to offer.  You will be surprised at all of the choices.  We will work with you to find the perfect mattress for the best night of sleep.  

It's a good life!

Recliners Come in Many Forms

Recliners are still the comfortable, relaxing spot that they have always been, but these days they can do a lot more than lean back.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has a wide variety of recliners for you to choose from, and there is a style to fit the different needs of everyone.  You can even find them in a range of looks from classic to elegant.  We offer all of these different types of recliners at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach.  You'll quickly realize, these are much more than "just a chair."

Rocking or Glider Recliner

He wants a comfy, plush recliner, and you want a relaxing rocking chair.  No need to fight, because this recliner offers the best of both worlds!

Power Recliner

These electric recliners plug into an outlet and let you recline at the touch of a button.  A power recliner is a wonderful asset to anyone with mobility issues.

Wall-saving Recliner
Smaller rooms don't always allow the space needed to fully stretch out in a regular recliner.  You only need 6 inches of space between the wall and the chair to lean back in one of these space-savers.


Lift Chair
These are made for people that have a little bit of difficulty rising from a seated position.  A powered lifting mechanism in the chair pushes it up from the base, helping the user to rise.



Massage Recliner
Now this recliner is the king of relaxation!  Sit back in this chair and let the mechanical massage feature melt away the stress from your day, relieving pesky aches and pains.


Oversized Recliners
If you want the comfort of a recliner, but like to stretch out and have a little additional room, then this is the one for you.  They are also the perfect size for cuddling up with someone special.  Some people refer to these as "Chair-and-a-half," "wide," or "big man" recliners.  We call them satisfying and enjoyable.



Reclining Furniture
If the oversized recliner isn't big enough for your needs, then size it up even more with a reclining sofa.  The whole family can hang out together without having to fight over who gets the recliner.

When you visit our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, we suggest that you spend a full 5 minutes in the chair that you are interested in. This gives you plenty of time to decide if it is the most comfortable fit for you.  That won't be difficult, because once you sit down in one of these, it's going to be hard to convince yourself to get up out of it!  Our helpful staff will be happy to help you decide which of these wonderful recliner options is the best for you.  Come in to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach soon and give our recliners a good test-sit.      

 

It's a good life!

How To Shop For The Perfect Mattress

A good night's sleep can successfully get you through your day.  If you are waking up still feeling tired after a full night of sleep, with aches and pains, then it's probably time for a new mattress.  Also, if you have been sleeping on the same one for over ten years, it is definitely time for a new one.  Head on over the best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks and let our sleep experts help you find the perfect mattress for your most tranquil night's sleep possible.  

Before you venture out mattress shopping, there are just a few things that you should do to prepare.  These will help to make the entire experience go quickly, smoothly, and to your best advantage.

Know your dimensions.

If you are purchasing a new bed from your local Slumberland store, we can help you out with this step. If you are needing a new mattress to fit into a bed that you already own, come to the store prepared with a little information. Measure your bed frame, and measure your current mattress. Modern bed sizes are pretty standard, but mattresses can vary in size plus or minus 1/2 an inch, depending on the manufacturer. Here are the standard mattress measurements.

• Single: 39” wide x 75” long
• Double: 54” wide by 75” long
• Queen: 60” wide by 80” long
• King: 76” wide by 80” long
• California king: 72” wide by 84” long

BYOP—Bring Your Own Pillow.

We have pillows for you to use if you don't bring your own, but this can help to simulate a regular night of sleep for you. Ask us for a quality sleep pillow to borrow while you are here instead of using the pillow that is on display with the mattress. It is generally just for show, advertising the manufacturer.

Prepare for a "test rest."

We always suggest that you spend at least 5 minutes on a mattress that you are seriously interested in. Climb on up and get into your usual sleeping position. This gives you a little time to see how your body will adjust to the mattress after you settle in. No need to feel embarrassed at all. We encourage everyone to test out the merchandise and would be hurt if you didn't feel comfortable enough to get comfortable. 

Dress comfortably.

You should be climbing in and out of beds while you are searching for the perfect mattress, so wear something that you are comfortable in. We don't expect you to show up in your pajamas, but do pick out something easy to move around in.

Ask questions.

Here are a few questions that you may want to ask your Slumberland sales representative. 

• Does this mattress offer proper back and body support?
• Does it minimize tossing and turning? How?
• What are its best features and benefits?
• Will it support my sleep positions and patterns, as well as those of my sleep partner?
• What are some similar mattresses at both higher and lower price points?

Our Lake of the Ozarks mattress store offers the Slumberland satisfaction guarantee. All mattress purchases are eligible for a comfort exchange for up to 120 days, as long as a Protect-All mattress protector is purchased along with the mattress at the time of sale.  We highly suggest that you sleep on your mattress for at least 30 nights before deciding if you would like to trade it in.

Now you are ready to find that perfect mattress, and we've got it here at Slumberland in Osage Beach.  Spend a few nights on one of our brand name mattresses and you will know for sure that it truly is a good life.     

It's a good life!
