Answers

1. If you wake up in the morning with a sore back, if you and your partner are rolling to the center of the bed, if you feel coils at the surface, if your mattress has lost its firmness or if visually the mattress is sagging, then you may find that it is time for a new mattress set.
   
   
2. Comfort is the most important thing when buying a mattress. Shop at a store where the sales person asks you a lot of questions. Try a number of different beds to find the one that is right for you and buy the most expensive set that you can afford. You spend 1/3 of life in bed, so you need to have a very good mattress set.

3. A test rest is when you come to the store and take your time trying all types of mattresses. Test each mattress set for a few minutes in the position that you typically sleep in. It is important to wear comfortable clothes and take as much time as you need.
   
   
4. You should spend as much as you can afford. We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, so we need a mattress set that will support us properly and keep us comfortable. The investment is very important so you should really figure out what your budget is and get the best mattress you can at that price.

5. Yes, your old boxspring might look fine, but the coils inside of it are as worn out as your mattress is. A mattress and boxspring are designed to work together. A boxspring plays a pivotal role in the support and firmness of the mattress. They should always be bought as a set as long as your budget allows.
   
   
6. No, you should not hand worn out bedding down to your children. Children are at a critical point in their development. It is important that they have a mattress that supports their growing skeletons properly during this developmental period. Their mattress also needs to be comfortable to them. Children need more sleep than adults and a comfortable and supportive mattress will give them the good night's rest they require.

9. If your frame is bent, or if you have wood slats that are warped, then they need replaced. Remember that a Queen and King set need a center support rail.
   
   
10. Warranties vary from brand to brand. Most manufacturers have a warranty of 10 years. This covers manufacturer's defects only and is not a gauge for the real life of the mattress.

11. You can purchase queen split box springs, they are 2 smaller sized boxsprings that fit under your mattress much like a king sets boxsprings would.
    
    
12. We offer low profile foundations that are thinner than the standard foundation; we also carry low profile bed frames. Both options would help in making your bed lower.
