Three mattress options from Sealy

Sealy

When it comes to purchasing mattress, it can be easy to just pick the cheapest option and take it home. However, here at Baumgartner’s we have written before about how important your mattress is – you will spend about one-third of your life on it. There is no other item you spend one-third of your time with that you wouldn’t research before purchasing. We’ve compiled a list of mattress options offered by Sealy and the benefits of them, so you can make your most informed decision when the time comes for a new mattress. Also, check out blogs we’ve written about mattresses and mattress brands herehere and here

1. Traditional innerspring

The name implies what this mattress is – traditional. When you think of mattress, the innerspring is what comes to mind. Sealy has developed their coil technology to be durable and provide comfort. Most people worry about coils becoming old and broken, creating discomfort while lying on the mattress. With Sealy, the coils are sure to last quite a while. Innersprings are also the mattresses many people are used to, which means comfort of familiar.

2. Hybrid

Hybrid is a layer of innersprings, topped with gel memory foam. This mattress gives you the best of both worlds, with the “deep support of steel alloy springs underneath,” according to the Sealy website. Not only are you receiving the support the spine needs but also the sinking comfort of the foam. This mattress could be particularly good for those with back issues and injuries.

3. Gel Memory Foam

The gel memory foam mattress conforms to the shape of your body, creating “the sense that you are sleeping ‘in’ your mattress and not just ‘on’ it,” according to the Sealy website. This mattress is great for those looking for incredible comfort and quality sleep. The memory foam mattress is also great for couples with different schedules, as the lack of springs means a more even distribution of weight. If one partner gets up, the other can continue resting.

Four Reasons to Love Flexsteel

Flexsteel

When it comes to furniture, only a few well-known brand names might stick out to regular consumers – for instance, La-Z-Boy. These names can often be the first customers mention when shopping for new furniture. But here are four reasons to add Flexsteel to that list of names when you come in next for new furniture.

1. Reliable
Flexsteel is committed to creating reliable, sturdy products. Every piece of Flexsteel furniture is tested to commercial standards set by American National Standards Institute and Business and Institution Furniture Manufacturers Association. Overall designs are tested for function, safety, and durability, while each individual piece is inspected after the factory line in order to keep standards. This extensive testing process and high standards ensure you will not have a broken piece of furniture on your hands a few days after bringing it home.

2. Socially responsible
Flexsteel wants to create inclusive working environments for the company’s employees, collaborate with community outreach, and commit to protecting the environment. Flexsteel believes in this so strongly that even their suppliers must meet the standards in order to collaborate and create furniture products. When purchasing from this company, there is no reason to feel guilty about the carbon footprint or funding sweatshops – it is simply not an issue with this company.

3. The product
One of Flexsteel’s product they proclaim the most is the Blue Steel Spring, with a design that hasn’t radically changed in over 75 years. The company is so confident in their invention that the durability of the Blue Steel Spring is guaranteed for a lifetime. Unlike other springs, the Blue Steel Spring never needs retying or replacing, which means the springs stay sturdy – never again will you ponder over what furniture to buy next as you sink lower and lower into the couch. All of Flexsteel’s upholstered furniture comes with this technology.

4. Style
If a company were to adopt the aforementioned policies and produce a less-than-beautiful product, it might be excused. However, this is not a problem for Flexsteel. The furniture is reliable, responsible, durable, and stylish. You will not have to sacrifice between a beautiful product and a trustworthy product – with this company, they are one and the same.

Next time you are considering purchasing a new piece of furniture, consider Flexsteel. All these reasons and more are why it is easy to love the affordable style of the company.

The four types of Tempurpedic people

Tempurpedic

Sometimes it can be hard deciding the brand to buy when it comes to necessary items – what will last the longest? What will have the best quality? What will have the lowest cost? All of these are questions to keep in mind when shopping for a long-term item, like a mattress. You will spend around one-third of your life on a mattress. Here are four types of people who should consider spending some of that time on a Tempurpedic.

  1. Someone who wants to be comfortable

The Tempurpedic material was developed in the 1970s by NASA in order to be a pressure-absorbing cushion and evenly distribute body weight, according to the Tempurpedic website. The material is now a secret “recipe” due to the success, much like Coke. Since the mattresses were released, customers have raved online about how comfortable the beds are and how much their sleep has improved. This is especially great if you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep due to being uncomfortable. Tempurpedic is the highest rated company for customer satisfaction, with 92 percent. The next highest company is Apple at 87 (you know, the company that makes all those iPhones everyone seems to have?). Which means there’s a 92 percent chance you will love you Tempurpedic.

  1. Someone who wants to relax

As aforementioned, Tempurpedic mattresses are comfortable. This makes them great for not only sleeping, but also reading a book, drinking a cup of tea, or snuggling with a loved one. Very few people realize how much time is spent in their bed until they are faced with an uncomfortable mattress. Tempurpedic mattresses are designed to shape around your weight, shape, and temperature, to support your body. This molding process helps the mattress feel like a comfortable pile of blankets, rather than a hard rectangle. This also reduces worn down spots from sleeping in the same position constantly.

  1. Someone with aches and pains

Tempurpedic mattresses are known for being incredibly comfortable, but the weight distribution that makes them so comfortable is also great for keeping pressure points off sensitive areas, like the back, neck, and hips. While those with bad backs are often recommended to get firmer mattresses, but Tempurpedic mattresses can also help with bad backs as the adaptation of the material allows for better back alignment. Tempurpedic is designed to relieve pressure points so you aren’t woken up during the night or tossing and turning. We can’t say the tossing and turning will 100 percent stop, but it will definitely be less frequent.

  1. Couples

Tempurpedic was famous for commercials where someone would jump on the bed, whereas a glass of red wine also on the bed would not tip over (if you do remember, it must have made an impression because that ad hasn’t aired since 2009!) This is because the mattresses absorb weight, meaning anything on the bed is resting independently of anything else. This can be great for couples where one or both are easily disturbed by any shift in motion during the night, or if one has an earlier schedule.

Chances are, you fall into one of these categories (what, you don’t want to relax?). Stop by a Baumgartner’s location today to browse the Tempurpedic options and receive help from a knowledgeable Baumgartner’s associate. Additionally, you can browse Tempurpedic mattress models here.
