Benjamin Franklin once said that “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Now nobody wants to bad-mouth one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, but Franklin was neglecting one very important key detail there. In reality, it doesn’t matter how early you go to bed if you are sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress. Instead of healthy, wealthy, and wise you are going to wake up cranky, sleepy, and sore. That wouldn’t really work in his rhyme scheme though. Of course, mattresses in Franklin’s day weren’t exactly what they are today. Did comfortable mattresses even exist back then? Regardless, today comfortable mattresses DO exist and there is[..]

What is the best mattress for back pain? Unfortunately there is no universal solution that everyone can be happy with. While some people will lean toward an extra firm mattress, others will shudder at the very thought. And the reason is quite simple --back pain sufferers form a wildly diverse bunch of people. Orthopedic specialists mostly agree that the best mattress for back pain would be something resembling "medium firm" or "not too soft, but not too firm either." How this undeniably vague advice would play out for each individual in pain... is nearly anyone's guess. Each individual's perception of soft or firm would be different. Picture a tall, overweight 45-year-old male, let's say[..]

The new buzzwords in the mattress industry are 'memory foam'. But despite the benefits touted by memory foam mattress manufacturers regarding their superior support, most consumers don't care for sleeping on them.

A good bed gives you comfort and support, suiting your particular needs and preferences. Most beds consist of a mattress and a supporting frame, but the mattress is the key to your comfort.

The company had three terminals at this point, one in Chicago, one north of Philadelphia in Pottstown and the home terminal in Akron, Ohio. I just wanted to learn the[..]
