‘REST DRIVE’ A MODEL Selection, quality of beds have improved : 80 YOU'VE decided to’ replace your sleep set after & decade of faithful service, You're in for a pleasant sur- prise. No matter how familiar and comfortable your old mattress was, you’re about to discover “comfort”? and ‘‘support’”? have been recently redefined, thanks to a new sleep technology and a growing demand for luxury. Like the proverbial mousetrap, the sleep industry has made a bet- ter bed since the last titae you shopped for one, and old notions about what’s good or bad for you may no longer apply. This year, consumers have an ungrecedented array of mattress styles to choose from —- innerspr- ing mattresses topped with plush naturel and man-made fibres, highly resilient foam mattresses, “‘softside’”” waterbeds, futons, ad- justable beds and even air-filled - Mattresses. To find what type of bed best suits you, ‘‘rest-drive”’ a variety of them — not just by sitting on the edge, but by lying down, rolling over, and assuming your favorite sleeping positions, with your part- ner. ’ Keep in mind that your bed is the single most-used piece of fur- niture in your home ~- and that the third of your life spent there profoundly affects the other two- thirds of your life as well. Shop carefully for the important in- vestment in your health and well- being Here are some bed-buying tips that you may find useful: While selecting a bed is a highly personal decision, a knowledgeable mattress retailer will be able to point out new innovations in sleep technology that offer greater com- fort and support than ever. Fortu- nately, the belief that a mattress has to be hard to be good for you is a thing of the past. Sleep experts now know that a mattress that’s too hard can cause painful pressure at the shoulders and hips, and offer no support for the small of the back, impairing your sleep and leaving you with a morning backache. In today’s better mattresses, comfort and support are inter- twined. Many models feature addi- tional layers of super-soft cush- ioning material at the top of the mattress, which further help to disperse pressure points equally throughout the body. As a result, circulation improves and the sleeper tosses and turns less frequently, providing a more comfortable and restful night’s What size should your new sleep set be? Generally, bigger is better when buying a mattress — especially if you sleep with a part- ner. More and more consumers are opting for king- or queen-size beds, which are not only wider, but several inches longer than Standard double beds. Ample space allows freedom of motion, which is essential for healthy sleep. When selecting a mattress and foundation, don’t skimp on the quality of workmanship and mate- rials. The old adage ‘‘You get what you pay for’’ applies to bedding. ity construction will ensure that your mattress will provide a high level of comfort and support for eight to 10 years of nightly use. A word about the warranty: don’t ‘lepend on the warranty to tell you how long to keep your mattress and foundation.

A sleep set may not break down, even after 15 or 20 years, but it’s no longer giving you the comfort and support you deserve. Never before have distinguish better bedding. Here are some hints: How does the set look? Like a well-made suit, quality bedding is finely tailored in a superior fabric. The surface will look and feel plush, and may contain an extra top layer of soft cushioning in a high-quality natural or man-made fibre. This extra-plush surface, created by distinctive stitched quilting patterns, is generally a sign of good bedding. Colorful damasks, knit fabrics and even silk are being used in the ‘ticking’? that covers today’s vi- sually exciting mattresses. How does it feel? The mattress should be thick (anywhere from eight to 15 inches), heavy and solid. Corners should have weight and substance; edges should be solid but resilient. If the other side flies up when you sit down, don’t buy it. How does it sound? A good quality sleep set will not creak, bump or make other suspicious sounds when you lie down and roll around (an occasional “‘ping’’ is formal with inrerspring bedding). Does it have quality basics? When buying an innerspring set, make sure there are more than 475 See Take Page 18 ~ Olstributed By: ERNIE L.
