If you struggle to find comfort from your current mattress than we’ve got just what the doctor ordered! You’re not alone. Unfortunately, millions of Americans suffer from chronic back pain- which is exactly why an Orthopedic Surgeon created a mattress line

The Dr. Greene Sleep System is the first mattress line designed by an Orthopedic Surgeon to provide the ultimate sleep surface for people who require extra support and pressure relief. For many years, Dr. Greene would see patients suffering from various aches and pains unable to find relief from medicine alone. After trying to provide better support for his patients, he envisioned a mattress designed for the human body. Focusing on areas of the body that require extra support, and areas that require less pressure, Dr. Greene identified ways to alleviate pain through a mattress! It was important to Dr. Greene that this mattress line not only help ease current pain, but also help to prevent pain. Dr. Greene’s designs incorporates the latest bedding technologies to do just that. He is now promoting better health through better sleep to his patients.

Not only is this a great mattress line, but it has a special place in my heart because of the great community work that Dr. Greene is committed too. The Greene Team Charitable Fund was established to provide free healthcare to underprivileged children affected by natural disasters. By teaming up with The United States Armed Forces, Dr. Craig Greene and his team of professional healthcare providers are able to set up mobile medical units quickly to supply urgent care for children in need. Half of all proceeds go to The Greene Team foundation. Now, that is something I can stand behind!

Try it today at any of our locations. The Dr. Greene Sleep system is now exclusively available at America’s Mattress!

Step 1. “Dr Oz. Tired Tea”, is made from combining chamomile and melatonin. It’s very soothing, and you can’t taste the melatonin!
Step 2. Lavender Steam Facial
Step 3. Turn Down the Heat
Step 4. Stretch
Step 5. Sleep (ok I added this one)

This 45 minute process really helps unwind your mind and relax your body. I hit the mattress and was definitely ready to sleep. It’s not a permanent solution to my sleep problems, but it was a nice treat to “escape” mid-week stresses.

If you are having problems finding deep sleep, make sure you have a comfortable mattress that doesn’t make you toss and turn and give this a shot! You can find out more here.

Integrating an adjustable base modernizes a bedroom for an interactive, customizable comfort solution. A sleep set with an adjustable base will allow you to sit up to read, watch TV, or provide you with an infinite variety of sleep positions. Not only is it a fun add-on, or for us mattress geeks a “cool toy”, but it provides health benefits as well; adjustable bases can help alleviate back pain, sleep Apnea and snoring, digestion, and swelling.

Also- for you pregnant women out there, I recently worked with a couple ladies who came to me experiencing issues getting comfortable while sleeping, they found huge relief by using an adjustable base!

If you’d like to find out more, please call one of our stores and speak with one of our sleep consultants. You can always find more great information, tips, and tricks by following us on our facebook page! www.facebook.com/AMattressNW

Eating right, and exercising are the obvious go-to fat busters, but what many people don’t know is that not getting enough sleep could affect a hormone called ghrelin, known to affect appetite and weight.

Here are a few sleep tips to help you sleep your way into healthy:

• Don’t have a big meal right before crawling into bed- but don’t go to bed hungry either!
• Exercise regularly, but not right before bed.
• Avoid caffeine.
• Don’t nap during the day.
• Create a comfortable sleep environment.

Sweet dreaming!

• One adult will produce 1 million skin flakes a day.
• One adult secretes 1.5-6 gallons of sweat/day. 99% is water….1% are other compounds.
• Bacteria and dust mites feed on our dead skin and secretions
• Used beds have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million dust mites inside.

While I couldn’t prove the claim that a mattress will gain 40 pounds every 10 years, it didn’t take me too long to decide that I would never sleep on a mattress without a mattress protector. A washable mattress protector will help prevent these problems from happening because they block bacteria, dust mites, and body secretions from getting into your mattress! Couple of tips when using one of these handy protectors- they go on like a fitted sheet, and should be washed every two weeks with your sheets in HOT water! Choose who you sleep with and protect your investment, and your health by keeping your mattress clean and sanitary.

1. First thing you need to think about is comfort. The comfort of your mattress is determined by the layers of what it’s made of. These provide the comfort surface, or, the feel of the mattress.

(Side note: When we sleep, our minds are always conscious of our sleeping space- know the size that you need to be most comfortable sleeping on so that you can rest easy!)

2. You wont be comfortable for long without the right support. The support of the mattress comes from the inner material. It can be a traditional innerspring (coil), memory foam, gel infused memory foam, or latex! This is the part of the bed that gives your body the most support every hour that you need it!

3. Durability. Durability. Durability. Be sure to ask your sleep associate what kind of foundation your new mattress needs. Not all foundations are the same, and you should think twice about putting your brand new mattress on that old box spring of yours. A proper foundation will support your mattress and improve the overall durability and longevity of your sleep set.

Now these are just the basics, but our trained sleep experts will guide you through the process to get you sleeping healthy and happy night after night!
