Your Sleep Position Affects How Well You Sleep

Our sleep experts at Slumberland Furniture know lots of tips for getting the most restful night's sleep possible. Purchasing a new mattress from the best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks is only the first step. There are many other factors that figure in to your sleep quality, one of which is the position in which you sleep.

Your new Slumberland Furniture mattress will alleviate many sleep problems you may have had with an old mattress, but once you get it home, the position in which you choose to sleep can make a big difference too. 

Position #1: Dead Man's Float
This is how we jokingly refer to stomach sleepers. In this position, your head will be turned to the side with arms to the sides near your head or under the pillow. Sleeping this way can ease snoring and some cases of sleep apnea. 

 - THE PROBLEM: The weight of your body can compress your lungs, making it difficult to breathe deeply. Also, this position tends to hyper-flex the neck, exerting pressure on the nerves along the underside of your arms, causing a "pins and needles" sensation when you wake up

- THE SOLUTION: The best mattress for a stomach sleeper is a firm one. If this is you, you may also want to get rid of the pillow under your head. Instead, opt for a long body pillow that will support your entire body, or try placing a head pillow under your hips.  

Position 2: The Soldier
This is when you sleep flat on your back, much like a little tin soldier. Your back is not forced to contort in any way, but remains straight, allowing the mattress to do its job and support your spine. This is also a great position because your face is not smashed into the pillow, lessening the chance of wrinkles. 

- THE PROBLEM: This position can sometimes bring on snoring and cause sleep apnea. Lying on your back can cause your tongue to fall inwards and block breathing.   

- THE SOLUTION: Position a pillow under your knees and another small one under your lower back. If you are a back-sleeper, purchasing an Adjustable Lifestyle Power Base foundation will allow you to elevate your upper and lower body at will. 

Position 3: Sleeping Beauty
Side sleepers generally sleep with knees bent, back curled slightly, and with their arms folded. Sleeping on your left side improves circulation to the heart and can ease heartburn and acid reflux. 

- THE PROBLEM: Other than the skin on your face getting smashed into the pillow, there are actually no other problems with this sleep position! It is one of the healthiest sleep positions to use because it complements the natural curve of the spine.   

- THE SOLUTION: To make this position a little more comfortable, put a pillow between your knees to reduce the stress on your hips, back, and legs. 


Now that you are aware of how different sleep positions can affect the quality of your sleep, give them each a try. If sleep position is not a problem, but you spend your nights tossing and turning because your mattress is old and worn out, visit us at the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks. We can help you find the perfect mattress for your sleep needs, and Slumberland Furniture can even outfit your entire bedroom if you are ready for a new look.   

It's a good life!

Resolve to Get Better Quality Sleep This Year

January gets most people thinking about what they want to do better than last year. The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks can guarantee you that getting a good quality night's sleep is one of the best New Year's resolutions that you will ever make.  Slumberland Furniture is an expert when it comes to sleep, and the following tips will help you to improve your own.  The result will be a life that is more productive, energized, and healthier.   

Get comfortable.

One very important key to getting a quality night's sleep is your mattress.  If you wake up stiff, numb, or achy often, or if your mattress is more than 10 years old, it's time for a new one.  When mattress shopping, bring along your favorite pillow and try out the mattresses that you are interested in.  The perfect one should offer proper back and body support for your sleep style.       

Calm your senses.

You get a much better night's sleep if the room is cool.  A temperature of about 67 degrees is ideal.  The darker the room the better.  Blackout curtains or a sleep mask can help with this.  Certain calming scents, such as lavender, can help lull you into slumber too.  

Unplug

Checking your cell phone or watching TV before bad is a habit that you should try to break.  Digital screens can cause your body to want to stay awake.  Turn all electronics off at least 2 hours before you plan to go to sleep to give your mind and body time to wind down.  

Watch your food and drink intake.

You should also do your best to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, but don't go to bed hungry either.  If you must eat, have a light snack like a banana or a bowl of cereal.  Avoid alcohol before sleeping.  It may make you drowsy, but it may affect the quality of your sleep.  Caffeine intake can cause a lot of people to stay awake.  If that is you, try not to have any after noon.

Beware long naps.

Sleeping too much during the day can cause you to have trouble sleeping through the night.  Naps are most helpful if you limit them to 20-30 minutes and take them early in the day.  

Develop a routine.

Doing the same thing every night before you go to bed develops a routine, cuing the body that it is time to sleep.  If you need help winding down from the day's activities, good things to add to your routine are writing in a journal, meditating, or reading.  

All of these tips will aid you in reaching a full night of deep, restful sleep.  The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks believes that getting a good night's sleep is a wise New Year's resolution to make, and an extremely important one to keep. Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach can offer you the mattresses, pillows, and bedding for a great night of sleep.  Developing a routine and sticking to it is up to you.  We know you can do it!     

It's a good life!

Get Comfortable - It's Sleep Comfort Month!

November is Sleep Comfort Month.  That's pretty important to us here at the best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks.  We promote comfortable sleep every day of the year, but November gives us an extra excuse to really bring the importance of a good night's sleep to light.  We have compiled a few tips from a variety of our past blogs to help you achieve the most comfortable night of sleep that you can possibly get.

The Mattress

If you have trouble sleeping at night or wake up feeling tired or sore, then you may need a new mattress.  If your mattress is over 10 years old, then you definitely need a new mattress.  Our sleep specialists know how to help you shop for the perfect mattress.  When you come to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, be prepared for a test rest.  Bring your favorite pillow along with you and try out the mattresses that draw your interest.  You should spend at least 5 minutes on each mattress to really get a feel for it.  

The Mattress Protector

It may not add noticeable comfort to your sleeping experience, but it will definitely add piece of mind.  A mattress protector isn't only there to keep spills off or your mattress.  It keeps moisture like perspiration from soaking in.  It also keeps dust mites and other allergens from making a home inside your mattress.  You can stay comfortable while you sleep knowing that your mattress protector can be thrown in the washing machine whenever it needs to be freshened up.  It's not so simple to wash that stuff out of a mattress!

The Pillows

If neck problems are present every day when you wake up, it may be time to buy a new pillow. Much like mattress shopping, you will need to figure out what materials you are most comfortable with.  The position in which you sleep also figures into which type of pillow is the best for you.  If you don't always sleep in the same position night after night, you might think about buying a few different pillows. That way, you are covered for however you feel like sleeping on a particular evening.  

The Bed

Another thing that figures into your comfort is how you feel when you enter your bedroom.  If you have let yourself choose a beautiful bedroom set along with linens in your favorite colors and style, you will feel better about going in for a good night's sleep.  The bed that you pick out should be big enough to give you plenty of room to sleep comfortably.  If you toss and turn a lot naturally, go for that king size bed.  Of course, if you have taken our past advice on how to pick the perfect mattress, you probably won't be tossing and turning.  

Your Sleep Habits

We cannot stress enough the importance of a good night's sleep!  There are a few things that you should get in the habit of doing.  Do your best to stick to a steady sleep schedule.  The ideal hours for sleep are between 10 pm and 6 am.  Whenever you decide to go to sleep and wake up, strive to get at least 8 hours a night.  Don't go to bed hungry, but try to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before you lay down for the night.  Also, the darker the room, the better the sleep.     


Come on in to the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks and let us help you find everything that you need for the most comfortable night of sleep possible. Slumberland Furniture prides itself on being experts in this area.  Your sleep comfort is very important to us.  It is a key factor in you being able to live a good life! 

It's a good life!
