Mattresses Explained - Know What You Are Buying

A mattress is quite possibly the most important piece of furniture in a house. Without a good night's sleep, a person will have a hard time functioning properly on a day-to-day basis.  The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks sells the highest quality, brand name mattresses.  We are here to help you find the one that best suits your personal sleep needs.  If you understand what types you are choosing from, you will be able to make a better decision.  Here are 2 types of mattresses that we sell at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, and the main differences between them. 


Innerspring Mattresses

A series of coils (or springs) makes up an innerspring mattress.  The coils provide support, while various foams and fibers create a comfort layer over the top of them. This is the most common mattress type, making up over 80% of all mattresses on the market today.  

The coil count, which is a phrase that you will hear while mattress shopping, is the number of coils in the mattress.  The coil counts for a mattress should be at least:

• Full-size:  300
• Queen-size:  375
• Kind:  450

The coil count is actually not as important as the gauge of the coils.  This is what determines how firm and supportive that a particular mattress is.  A lower gauge number means a thicker spring and a firmer mattress.  The higher the number, the softer the mattress is, and it will move easier under pressure.  

Traditional Bonnell or Open Coil

The steel-wire coils in this mattress are tied together with wire.  This helps the mattress hold its shape.  The Bonnell-style has stood the test of time because people have been sleeping on them for more than 100 years!  These are available at a variety of price points, so they are very easy to purchase, even if you are on a budget.  They are incredibly durable, long-lasting, and supportive.  

Individually Wrapped or Pocket Coils 

Unlike traditional Bonnell-style mattresses, pocket coils are not tied together, but independent from each other.  Each coil is inside its own fabric pocket, and it can move individually without disturbing the other coils around it.  This is a great choice for people that share a bed.  These mattresses are durable and long-lasting, with the added bonus that they contour to your body and provide comfortable pressure relief.          




Foam Mattresses

These mattresses are wonderful for both conforming support and pressure relief.  The support here comes from a variety of foam materials instead of spring coils. This type of mattress doesn't push back like an innerspring mattress, but instead conforms to your body.  You seem to sink right in.  

Memory Foam

Slumberland Furniture likes to compare the feeling of a memory foam mattress to lying on soft sand that perfectly conforms to your body.  This is the very best choice for motion separation.  It adjusts to both your body weight and temperature.  The support and stability are incredible, and it is wonderful at eliminating pressure points across your entire body by contouring to it.

Latex Foam

This type of foam is more like the feeling of sleeping on a soft bed of feathers.  Your body's weight is evenly distributed for pressure relief.  The latex foam molds to your body like the memory foam, but you feel more like you are weightless and floating on this mattress rather than sinking into it.  An added benefit of the latex is that it is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and bacteria.  This mattress is also long-lasting and extremely durable.

The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks wants you to be absolutely certain that the mattress you end up choosing is the best one for you.  To make sure that this is possible, Slumberland Furniture offers a satisfaction guarantee with our comfort exchange program.  We will allow you to trade for another mattress for up to 120 days after your purchase, as long as a Protect-All mattress protector is purchased for your new mattress at the time of the original sale.  

When you have the right mattress, you get the sleep that both your mind and body need.  Our sleep specialists at Slumberland Furniture will help you find that perfect mattress, confirming that truly, "It's a good life!"

It's a good life!

The first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning, and the last thing before you close your eyes at night, is your bedroom.  The colors and accents that you surround yourself with are bound to have an impact on your mood for the entire day.   

Calm & Peaceful

More than likely, you use this room mostly for sleeping.  Choosing colors that make you feel relaxed and at ease can help with a restful night's sleep.  Cool shades that are wonderful for promoting sleep are blue, purple, and grey.        

Bright & Bold

Some people can't resist playful colors.  If you have no trouble sleeping and can't stand a room without a little lively personality, then brighter colors may be the way you should go.  Kids usually prefer the fun & bright linens, but so do the young-at-heart.  

    

Plain or Patterned

The bed is the centerpiece of a bedroom.  You may choose to really make it stand out with a boldly patterned print.  The rest of the bedroom won't need a lot added to it.  If you would rather have lots of pattern and accent pieces around the room, it's very easy to do this when you use plain linens.  If you like to redecorate often, a plain, neutral quilt goes with almost anything.  Another option is to purchase one of our duvets.  One comforter insert and different duvets allow you to change the look of your comforter often without buying an entire new one.

It's Time to Beef Up that Man Cave!

Football season is in full swing, and here in mid-Missouri we are also excited about watching the World Series play out.  These give you plenty of reasons to call up your friends and make a party out of watching all of the games.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has what you need to keep everyone comfortable when they show up to your house.  Here are the items that will make your man cave the best in town.    

LEATHER

This is a long-lasting, sturdy material that is perfect for a room full of boisterous fans jumping up and down.  Spills wipe up easily with a damp cloth, so no worries if an exciting play causes food and drinks to suddenly fly in the air.  Rather than looking run-down with use, leather furniture's character gets better the more you use it.  Best of all, it's incredibly comfortable.  The only down side is that it might be hard to get your friends to leave when the game is over!

Gallery Collection

RECLINERS

There's nothing better than sinking into a big, cozy chair, kicking back, putting your feet up, and flipping on the TV.  With a remote control in one hand and your favorite beverage in the other, it's a good life!  Right now at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, you can get 2 for the price of 1.  Getting two is a perfect way to keep someone from sitting in your favorite chair.  Don't wait too long, because we can't promise how long this deal will last.  With a special like that, you may just want to surround the entire room with recliners!    

TABLES

Tables are very important, because you'll need something to hold all of that delicious game food.  A few end tables and a large coffee table placed around the room will give your guests plenty of spots to put down their plates and drinks.  Slumberland Furniture's Encore collection even offers a second level for storage underneath the table.  

Encore Collection - 3 Pack Tables

        

MEDIA

Telluride Collection - 3pc Wall Package

The centerpiece of any man cave, the television, deserves a very special spot.  We have media consoles to fit even the biggest TV.  The larger the unit that you purchase, the more cool stuff you can display.  A true fan is going to have some memorabilia to showcase.  Then there is your gaming console for when your favorite teams are taking a break.  You can keep decks of cards, poker chips, darts, bottle openers... you know, man cave clutter, stashed away neatly. We've even got media consoles at Slumberland Furniture with fireplaces built in.    

Caldwell Collection - 70" Mocha Hiboy Fireplace Console

One shopping trip to the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks and you'll be set up with the most comfortable, inviting, and best-looking man cave in town.  Your friends won't want to watch the game anyplace else.  Browse through our furniture selections online between games, then make your way in to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach to try out the pieces that you like.  Our helpful sales associates will be happy to help you find exactly what you need.

Boost Your Mood With Color

The colors around you can greatly affect your moods.  Temperatures will be dropping soon, and you'll be spending a lot more time indoors.  Now is the perfect time to visit the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks and find the most enjoyable colors for every room in your home. 

It's natural to automatically search out your favorite color when you are shopping, but that's not necessarily the best strategy when it comes to furniture.   A color that you don't normally lean towards may be the perfect one for the mood you want to set in a particular room.  

Colors behave in three basice ways:  active, passive, and neutral.  Bedrooms should feel relaxing and serene, living rooms should be happy and inviting, and dining rooms should feel appetizing.  Here is a list of how most colors basically make a person feel.   

RED
Red is a color that promotes high energy.  It works well in rooms where a lot of activity happens.  It can stimulate conversation in a living room, and touches of it are great for productivity in a home office.  It has been known to increase heart rates and raise blood pressure though, so if your job is already stressful, limit its presence in the office.     

YELLOW
Reminiscent of sunshine, yellow in small doses can bring cheer and happiness to a room, but an entirely yellow room tends to cause feelings of frustration.  A yellow chair in a living room is an energizing touch, or add a rug full of yellow tones.  It is also wonderful in kitchens.     

   



ORANGE
Excitement, enthusiasm, and energy are evoked from the color orange.  If you have a room set aside for exercise or creative endeavors, this is an excellent color to include.  You can easily bring it in with artwork, side tables, or throw pillows.  



BLUE
Blue brings on feelings of calmness and serenity. It has been found to bring down blood pressure and slow the heart rate.  Blue accents and linens are perfect for sleep in a bedroom.  This is one color that actually works beautifully in every room.  Be wary of the shade, though, because some blues can bring on a chilly feeling.  Stick with the warmer hues.      

GREEN
This color is said to be the most restful for the eye.  Mixed from cheerful yellow and calming blue, it also works well for any room in the house.  It causes feelings of restfulness and tranquility. Because of the fact that it has been said to promote fertility, many people wanting to start families love it for the bedroom.    






PURPLE
Due to its relation to passion, purple is also a good bedroom color.  It is often associated with luxury and sophistication, and it is thought of as a color of royalty.  An impressive, elegant room can be put together with dramatic purple accents.   





Mixing more than one color in a room can work beautifully, but we suggest that you use no more than three in one room.  Any more may cause a very cluttered feeling.  

Now that you know more about the psychology of colors, you can decide what feelings each room in your home should give you, then head to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach to pick a few out.  Our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store has everything you need to outfit your home beautifully for a good life.  
     

It's a good life!

Why You Should Be Using a Mattress Protector

After you have done your research, visited our Osage Beach furniture store, and found the perfect mattress, you're going to want to take good care of it and make it last as long as possible.  The first step in doing this is to purchase a mattress protector.  The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks will make sure that you get the perfect size to fit your new mattress and keep it in its best possible shape.

You are probably wondering, "Why in the world do I need a mattress protector?  I will have sheets on it!"  Sheets are thin and don't offer much in the form of protection for your mattress, and there are a few things that will get through them that you do not want getting in there.

Moisture

Moisture can easily seep through sheets.  It could be in the form of perspiration or a food or beverage spilled.  That moisture will get into the mattress and break down the material a lot faster than regular wear and tear will.  There will most likely be a stain left behind too.  A stained mattress protector can be thrown in the wash, a stained mattress cannot.   

Dust Mites

Another reason is to keep dust mites and other allergens from making their way into your mattress.  These can cause irritating issues like sneezing, runny nose, wheezing, and shortness of breath.  Dust mites feed on dead skin cells. Without a mattress protector, they will be searching for these inside of your mattress.  If you wash your mattress protector regularly, the dust mites will have nothing to feed on.   

Slumberland Furniture carries mattress protectors that are waterproof, dust mite and allergen resistant, and doctor recommended.  They repel liquids while still allowing body heat to pass through.  They also come with a 10-year warranty.

You will also get Slumberland's satisfaction guarantee on your mattress when a Protect-All mattress protector is purchased along with it.  This allows you to try out your new mattress for up to 120 days.  If you are not satisfied during this time, you will be eligible for a comfort exchange.

A mattress is a piece of furniture that you hope to keep for a very long time.  The better care you take of it, the longer you can enjoy a comfortable night's sleep on it. The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to guide you through the entire mattress-buying process.  We will help you to find the very best quality furniture and accessories to fit your needs and lifestyle so that you can enjoy them for many years to come.           

It's a good life!
