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!

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!
