We all know that coffee and sweets before bed don&rsquo;t add up to a restful night of sleep, but did you know your bedroom can also be helping or hurting your nightly Z&rsquo;s?
That&rsquo;s right, the way you arrange your room can have a big impact on how you sleep at night! If you&rsquo;ve been tossing and turning despite following all the conventional bedtime wisdom, it might be time to take a closer look at your space. Here are a few ways you can spruce up your room and feel more rested while you&rsquo;re at it!
&nbsp;
<h1>That Blue Light, Don&rsquo;t Want It</h1>
You&rsquo;ve probably heard this a hundred times before: don&rsquo;t use your cell phone before bed! But that warning is about more than just the dangers of getting caught up stalking exes on Instagram &ndash; it&rsquo;s about the blue light that most electronic screens emit.
TVs, computers, and even digital alarm clocks all send signals to your brain saying, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s daytime, get up and at &lsquo;em!&rdquo; Not exactly what you want in your space when you&rsquo;re trying to sleep. So, try to make sure TVs and computers are off and covered up at night, phones are far out of reach, and alarm clocks are dimmed or swapped out for analog options. Your brain will thank you!
&nbsp;
<h1>Paint the Town Blue</h1>
Or if not the whole town, at least your room! Some studies have shown that people sleeping in blue bedrooms on average get about two hours more sleep than people sleeping in rooms painted purple or brown. <a href="https://www.sleep.org/articles/best-colors-for-sleep/">Blue is considered a calming color</a>, associated with rest and relaxation, which helps signal to your brain it&rsquo;s time to chill out and get your snooze on. &nbsp;A fresh coat of paint or at least some blue drapes can make a big difference in the quantity and quality of your sleep.
&nbsp;
<h1>Here Comes the Sun</h1>
While we&rsquo;re on the subject of drapes, you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you invest in a good set for your bedroom. Light is the sworn enemy of a good night&rsquo;s sleep, so be sure to cover your windows well. Street lights, passing cars, and the sun in the wee hours of the morning can disturb your rest and keep you from getting that refreshing REM sleep you need. Regular old blinds might look nice, but they tend to let light in between the slats. Blackout curtains are a great way to keep out unwanted light and make your bedroom feel more cozy and private.

<h1>Spring Cleaning</h1>
You don&rsquo;t need a major room remodel to make your space more comfortable! Cleaning up clutter can make a world of difference in your nightly sleep. A messy space can cause anxiety and keep you from resting well, so spruce up a bit before you get cozy. A clean room also limits late-night mental stimulation, so you&rsquo;re not constantly distracted with visual reminders of all the things you have to get done in the morning.
&nbsp;
<h1>Be Bed-er</h1>
Of course, the most important part of your room&rsquo;s sleep hygiene is your bed. Your bed should be perfectly set up for rest and relaxation, so that you just can&rsquo;t help but doze off the second you hit the sheets. That means clean, cozy blankets, plenty of pillows, and of course, a mattress that suits you perfectly.
Your mattress should be switched out approximately every five to seven years, or at the first visible signs of wear and tear. If you spend hours just trying to get comfortable every night or wake up with aches and pains all over, a new mattress should be the first bedroom upgrade you look for. There&rsquo;s no single mattress type that fits everyone, so come in to our store to try out all the options we have in stock, from soft to firm, twin to king, pillowtop to memory foam. A comfortable bed is the first step toward the sleep of your dreams!
&nbsp;
Your sleep is important, so make sure your room is doing its best to guide you into dreamland every night! If your sleepless nights are being caused by a faulty mattress, come on down to our store. We have everything you need for a better night&rsquo;s sleep, and our expert associates are ready with even more tips and pointers to help you start resting easier every night.

Sleeping Right While Traveling for the Holidays 

There are plenty of ways to minimize stress and maximize sleep for your little ones no matter the time of year, so try these tips to keep your kids’ sleep on track during the hectic holiday season.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/iStock-623453662 _1_.jpg?w=700" />
Holiday travel, hordes of people in and out of the house all day, irregular sleeping and waking times &ndash; these are all things that can throw anyone&rsquo;s sleep schedule out of whack. But kids, who tend to need more sleep and have more trouble than adults getting it, can be especially affected.
Yes, the holidays are lots of fun, but the schedule shake-ups and change of scenery can make bedtime a real nightmare. But, it doesn&rsquo;t have to be that way! There are a plenty of ways to minimize stress and maximize sleep for your little ones no matter the time of year, so try these tips to keep your kids&rsquo; sleep on track during the hectic holiday season.
&nbsp;
Stick to a Schedule
If you&rsquo;re travelling to a new time zone for more than a day or two, it&rsquo;s important to get kids adjusted to local time as soon as possible. If kids sleep in until noon and stay up until they feel sleepy, you&rsquo;re going to be stuck wrestling restless little ones into bed long after midnight during your whole vacation. Nip it in the bud and get the kids used to the new schedule ASAP!
Even if you&rsquo;re not traveling, it can be easy to fall into an &ldquo;anything goes&rdquo; kind of bedtime schedule with all the excitement of visitors and activities. Regardless of the holiday thrills each day has to offer, getting the kids to stick closely to their usual evening routine can help bedtime go much more smoothly.
&nbsp;
Prepare Ahead of Time
On a related note, sticking to a schedule is often more easily said than done, so if you can, adjusting kids slowly during the week leading up to your big travel plans can be a big help. Putting them to bed 15 to 30 minutes earlier each night will reduce the shock to their system and help get them on track faster.
&nbsp;
Bring Pieces of Home
If your little one is sleeping in a strange bed, it can be helpful to bring along some things that remind them of home and put them at ease. Blankets, toys, or even a pillowcase that still smells like their bedroom can all make new surroundings not seem quite so scary. Whatever you bring, the comfier the better. Be sure to stop in to our store and pick up a comfy new pillow or mattress topper to help your little one get cozy in their unfamiliar surroundings.
If the kids are still restless, a flashlight and some &ldquo;anti-monster spray&rdquo; (which can be made with a spray bottle, some water, and just about any fragrance you have on hand) can help ward off fears of creepy corners or dark closets.
&nbsp;
Plan Relaxation Time
Your little one might not be able to drop off to sleep right after being plopped into bed during this exciting time of year. New faces, tasty food, and the promise of new games, toys, and gifts can keep kids from simmering down for a long time, so you may need to add in some extra time for kids to relax and unwind before lights out. Reading a favorite book together or listening to soothing music can help put your little one in the right state of mind for bed.

By following these basic tips, you can minimize the evening struggle of getting your little ones to sleep, and make sure you get enough sleep to take on the holidays, too! If you&rsquo;ve followed all these tips and your little one is still struggling to sleep, even in their own room, it may be time to upgrade their bed. Uncomfortable beds can cause fussiness and poor sleep quality in kids as well as adults &ndash; so check out all the incredible mattresses, pillows, and more that we have to offer in-store. Your bedtime routine will thank us!

Tips to Help Kids Sleep During the Hectic Holidays

Cycling is a great source of exercise and some experts say it can even improve your sleep. Here are five reasons why you should start cycling your way toward a better night of sleep today.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/iStock-906783868.jpg?w=700" />
Have you been making excuses to get out of exercising? Have you been procrastinating your pedaling, avoiding that evening jog, putting off those push-ups? Well here&rsquo;s your sign that it&rsquo;s time to get up and get moving: November 22 is national Go For A Ride Day!
That&rsquo;s right, it&rsquo;s time to bust out that bike and get your blood pumping! Cycling is a great source of exercise and some experts say it can even improve your sleep. Here are five reasons why you should get out your old 10-speed and start cycling your way toward a better night of sleep today.

&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cycling is great exercise
Cycling is a great way to get active because it uses all of your major muscle groups without placing too much strain on your body. It&rsquo;s a great cardio workout and it&rsquo;s totally customizable &ndash; unlike team sports or other forms of exercise, you can choose exactly how intense your workout will be at any given time. Plus, it&rsquo;s environmentally friendly! Whether you&rsquo;re an old pro or brand new to this whole exercising business, cycling is an awesome way to exercise.

&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exercise is proven to help you sleep better
<a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/5-facts-about-sleep-and-exercise">A 2013 study by the National Sleep Foundation</a> found that over 75-percent of exercisers report getting good or very good quality sleep overall, compared to just 56-percent of non-exercisers. Non-exercisers also tend to be drowsier during the day and feel less rested when they wake up. Just a few hours of gentle exercise every week can make a difference, so even if you don&rsquo;t plan to go full bodybuilder, incorporating just a little extra activity in your routine can help you get major Z&rsquo;s.

&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cycling is easy on your body
Unlike other high-impact exercises like running, jumping, or tackle football, cycling is a relatively gentle workout. It engages your whole body without putting too much strain on bones and joints, which significantly decreases your risk of getting hurt. It also means you won&rsquo;t be bothered by brand new aches and pains when you get into bed at the end of the day, so you can slip easily into slumber. If you&rsquo;re still battling achy joints a few weeks after starting your cycling habit, the problem could be your mattress. If your mattress is sagging or it&rsquo;s just not supporting you well enough, come by our store and find one that gives your back some relief.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/iStock-498699640_1.jpg?w=700" />
&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exercise helps fight and prevent sleep disorders
Some doctors say that regular exercise can reduce your risk for unpleasant sleep disorders like chronic insomnia and sleep apnea. Nearly half of all people who don&rsquo;t exercise regularly have moderate risk for sleep apnea, compared to less than 20 percent of people who exercise regularly. Exercise at any time of day has also been shown to help you fall asleep and stay asleep and counter some of the negative effects of insomnia. A good mattress can also help out with that, so if even getting active doesn&rsquo;t seem to help with your snoring or sleep problems, come by our store and see what we have to offer!

&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cycling can help fix back problems
If you&rsquo;re waking up every morning with an aching back and a stiff spine, cycling may help you loosen up. Because it keeps your large muscle groups moving without placing much stress on your back, cycling is an ideal way to work out sore muscles and get you sleeping better without the risk of making your back pain worse. After a few weeks of regular cycling, your back muscles should start getting stronger, and your joints will start moving more easily, which will help you fall asleep and stay asleep much more easily.
&nbsp;
Of course, cycling can only do so much for you and your sleep if you don&rsquo;t have a good mattress to support you. Hopping on your bike for a few hours each week should help relax your body and get you to sleep faster, but if you&rsquo;re still tossing and turning or waking up with aches and pains, make sure the problem isn&rsquo;t your mattress.
If you need some help upgrading your bed, stop by The Bedroom Center. Our associates would love to help you find a bed that gives you the unique support you need, and get you sleeping soundly every night!

5 Reasons to Start Cycling for a Better Night’s Sleep 

Don’t believe everything you hear! These 5 common mattress myths are totally bunk.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked2.jpg?w=700" style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="650" />
Okay, this mattress madness has gone on long enough.
When it comes to mattresses, there are some pretty crazy myths flying around these days, and we&rsquo;ve decided enough is enough. Too many people are losing sleep over mattress myths that might actually be making their night of sleep worse! If you&rsquo;re in the market for a new mattress and you&rsquo;re trying to sort out fact from fiction, we&rsquo;re here to help. Here are five common mattress myths and why they&rsquo;re totally bogus.
Mattress Myth #1: Mattresses need to be regularly flipped to keep their shape.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked6.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" />
Mattress Reality: This might have been the case a century ago, but mattress technology has come a long way since then. Modern mattresses are much better designed, and shouldn&rsquo;t start to sag for many, many years, regardless of which side you sleep on. Most mattresses only have one usable side these days anyway, so flipping them over will only leave you in a world of hurt.
Rotating your mattress, however, is never a bad idea, especially if you share your bed with a partner. Turning your mattress from end to end can help it wear more evenly, and keep you both sleeping soundly for longer.
Mattress Myth #2: Memory foam mattresses always sleep hot.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked3.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" />
Mattress Reality: While some people do report uncomfortable heat retention in their memory foam mattresses, this is a myth that&rsquo;s gotten blown way out of proportion to the problem. Only about 8 percent of memory foam sleepers say their mattresses hold in too much heat, compared to 5 percent in spring mattresses. Although, we suspect that extra 3 percent might have just mixed up the air conditioner with the heater again&hellip;
Many memory foam mattresses also include layers of cooling gel that keep temperatures down and comfort up. If you&rsquo;re sleeping hot, most of the time the blame lies with some other element of your nightly routine, like your bedsheets, fan, or the weather.
Mattress Myth #3: Firmer mattresses are a must-have for anyone with back problems.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked1.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" />
Mattress Reality: Everybody and every body is different. There&rsquo;s no universal rule that can be applied to everyone&rsquo;s needs, so it&rsquo;s simply not true to say that firm mattresses are always the right choice to battle back issues. Rather, people with chronic back pain should be extra careful to find a mattress that&rsquo;s offers the right amount of support for their individual needs. A mattress that&rsquo;s too firm can cause aches and pains at sensitive pressure points and can actually push your spine further out of alignment.
If you&rsquo;re not sure how to find that Goldilocks balance of not too soft and not too firm, talk to one of our sleep experts. We can help you get on track to a good night of rest and recovery in no time!
Mattress Myth #4: You can sleep just as well on an old mattress as a new mattress.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked5.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" />
Mattress Reality: Not so. The Better Sleep Council says it&rsquo;s best to replace your mattress every seven to 10 years, but every year past that recommended time frame is going to give you worse nights of sleep than the one before.
Of course, some types of mattresses last longer than others (latex and memory foam tend to be more durable than coils), but ultimately, if you put off getting a new mattress too long, you won&rsquo;t be doing your back or your bedtime routine any favors.
Mattress Myth #5: There&rsquo;s no need to try before you buy.
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - 5 Mattress Myths Debunked4.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" />
Mattress Reality: That&rsquo;s a dangerous game you&rsquo;re playing there, friend! Falling in love with a mattress and taking it home that very same day is one thing, but ordering a mattress without taking so much as a catnap on it can make for big problems.
No matter what the reviews say, it&rsquo;s important to test out your mattress for yourself and see how it suits you. At The Bedroom Center, we&rsquo;ve got tons of mattresses in stock for customers to peruse and snooze on, so visit our store and be sure the mattress you bought is the mattress you want, every time.
Now that these myths are laid to rest, you can start your mattress-buying journey with open eyes and a clear mind! We know there are plenty of other myths floating around out there though, so if you have any questions, come ask our staff of sleep experts. We&rsquo;re happy to help you get a better night&rsquo;s rest, starting with a mattress from The Bedroom Center!

5 Mattress Myths Debunked

Is an erratic sleep schedule ruining your rest? Learn how to put some consistency back into your nightly routine!

<img alt="Why Consistency is Important to Your Daily Sleep Routine" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - Why Consistency is Important1.jpg?w=700" style="width: 100%;" />
Consistency is key.
Don&rsquo;t we hear that all the time when we&rsquo;re trying to improve our habits? New diets, new hobbies, dragging yourself onto the treadmill every day even if you would rather work double overtime than exercise &ndash; staying consistent, they say, is always the most important part to building good habits. So why don&rsquo;t we take that same advice to heart when it comes to the most important part of our daily routine: bedtime?
If you wake up feeling like a zombie every morning, or struggle for hours before slipping into the sweet embrace of sleep, it might be time to freshen up your sleep hygiene with a secret ingredient we like to call &ldquo;consistency.&rdquo; Let&rsquo;s break down why consistent sleep patterns are so important, and what you can do to get your bedtime routine back on track.
Why We Need It

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - Why Consistency is Important3.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
Our bodies crave consistency. It&rsquo;s the reason why your stomach starts grumbling every day at around 11:59, and why we spend the rest of the day feeling out of whack when we skip our morning coffee and newspaper.
Routine helps us function more efficiently, and without those external cues, our bodies struggle to sync up with our intentions. Having a consistent daily routine lets your body know what to get ready for, and how to do what it needs to do even better.
When it comes to sleep schedules, everyone&rsquo;s body clock is different, so there&rsquo;s no hard and fast rule about when to eat or sleep or get up in the morning. What&rsquo;s important is listening to your own internal rhythm when setting your sleep routine, and making a commitment not to let the stresses and concerns of the day get in the way of a restful night.
What it Does For Us
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - Why Consistency is Important4.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
Do Monday mornings feel like the night of the living dead? Do you find yourself dozing at your desk more often than not? Yeah, those are all signs your sleep schedule is way off track. A consistent sleep schedule can be the difference between a productive day at work and a total wash, between making the most of your day off or dozing the daylight away. If you&rsquo;re sleeping in three or four hours later on weekends than you do on weekdays, you&rsquo;re going to spend your days off groggy and delirious, and your days on in a stupor.
A consistent sleep schedule can even affect your mood. Studies show that sleeping poorly can elevate stress and even lead to mood disorders like anxiety and depression. So, don&rsquo;t settle for a chaotic sleep schedule! Not only will you feel better day-to-day if you change things up, it can actually make you happier in the long run.
How to Get It
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Mattress - Why Consistency is Important2.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
So, now that you get just how important a consistent sleep schedule is, how can you achieve it?
Well, it starts with commitment. Set an alarm, mark it in your calendar, heck, even write it on your forehead if you have to! Decide on set times for going to bed and waking up and stick to it, no matter the day of the week. And no, the fact that the show you&rsquo;re binging just ended on the biggest cliffhanger ever isn&rsquo;t an excuse to put off bedtime.
Good habits are another key to a healthy sleep schedule. The bed is not the place for stressful activities like work, balancing your checkbook, and managing your monthly calendar. Keep that far away from your mattress, and out of the bedroom altogether if possible! You want to keep your bed mentally associated with nothing but rest and relaxation.
Finally, like we said, routine is super important for establishing better sleep, so come up with a nighttime ritual that works for you. Maybe it&rsquo;s having a cup of tea before bed (just remember to stay away from caffeine) or maybe it&rsquo;s reading your favorite book for 15 minutes. Whatever your ritual is, keeping it consistent is the best way to make those relaxing associations stick in your mind.
It can be a long journey to creating a consistent sleep routine, but when you&rsquo;re waking up every morning upbeat, energized, and ready to seize the day, it&rsquo;ll all be worth it! Of course, falling asleep and staying asleep consistently can be nearly impossible without a good mattress, no matter how carefully you&rsquo;ve planned your new routine. If you&rsquo;re still struggling to get a good night&rsquo;s sleep, it might be time to upgrade your bed. Stop by our store today to check out our selection and ask our sleep experts how to revolutionize your rest!

Why Consistency is Important to Your Daily Sleep Routine

Don’t just sleep on it: Here’s why you should make your bed every morning...

<img alt="" height="444" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/5-reasons-you-should-make-your-bed-every-morning_1.jpg?w=700" width="665" />
Wake up, sleepy head. The sun&rsquo;s about to come up, you&rsquo;ve snoozed your alarm four times already, and someone needs to make the kids&rsquo; breakfasts and lunches before they grab the bus and run off to school. That&rsquo;s a lot to do in the morning, but don&rsquo;t forget another important task: Be sure to make the bed.
Yes, it&rsquo;s a pain. Yes, it&rsquo;s something that none of us want to deal with, especially first thing in the morning when everyone is running around and there are other things that tend to take precedence.
But, there are a lot of reasons why making your bed should make its way to the top of your morning routine to-do list, even if you are crunched for time. So, here&rsquo;s some good things that will come your way if you make some time to make your bed every morning.
Produce productivity
If we told you that you could inject a powerful potion of productivity right into your veins every morning, wouldn&rsquo;t you do it? There would probably be a line down the block of people waiting to sign right up and try a magical elixir of productivity.
Well, there&rsquo;s no secret or magic here. According to Charles Duhigg in &ldquo;The Power of Habit,&rdquo; making your bed is correlated with better productivity.
So, put down those Monster Energy drinks and that third cup of morning espresso and try making your bed instead.

Less active allergies
Allergies can be a pain, and nobody wants their bed to become a hot spot of allergy aggravation.
But, if you make your bed and securely cover up your sheets, allergens won&rsquo;t be able to enter the neatly made fortress of sheets, blankets, and pillows. Your bed will be piled up like Fort Knox, with all the annoying allergies stuck outside, unable to cross the moat or drawbridge and make it into your royal sleep kingdom.
Oh well. Nobody has sympathy for allergens, anyways. Good riddance.
<img alt="" height="509" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/5-reasons-you-should-make-your-bed-every-morning_2.jpg?w=700" width="763" />

It might actually improve your sleep
According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, people who made their beds also said that they got better sleep. And honestly, how long does making your bed take, 30 seconds? It&rsquo;s worth those 30 seconds for some better sleep, isn&rsquo;t it? Of course it is.

You won&rsquo;t have to do it later
Get it out of the way. Rip that bandage off. Nobody wants to make their bed when they come home from a long day of work, especially if they are only a few more hours away from jumping in it and messing it up again.
Instead, make your bed early in the morning and immediately cross it off your mental to-do list. You won&rsquo;t have to worry about it later, and you&rsquo;ll come home to a bed that&rsquo;s already nice and neat.

You&rsquo;ll feel better about yourself 
Isn&rsquo;t a messy bed a sad bed? We certainly think so, and there&rsquo;s just something unfinished and lonely looking about a bed with sheets all askew and not made. But, if you take those few moments to make your bed, you&rsquo;ll feel a sense of pride &ndash; and accomplishment &ndash; that you actually made your bed in the morning. It starts your day off, literally, on the right side of the bed.
As for waiting to make it until your partner wakes up, or just wrapping them inside a bed burrito while they are still asleep, that part is entirely up to you. There&rsquo;s no science on either side of that issue.
