Whether through e-mails, Facebook messages or other avenues, we hear the above complaints from our customers all the time. It seems no one is getting the right type of rest, even though they may be getting the recommended eight hours of sleep. This led us to wonder: Why are people always feeling tired despite the fact that they’re sleeping enough? We decided to investigate, and we were mighty surprised by what we found.

Selecting a quality mattress isn’t only a matter of choosing a piece of furniture. Enjoying a good night’s sleep can affect your health in multiple ways. It can help improve memory, reduce inflammation, increase creativity, sharpen one’s attention, help maintain a healthy weight and increase both athletic and academic performance.

Can’t sleep? The person you share your bed with may be to blame. Many people are completely compatible outside the bedroom, but when it comes to sleeping patterns, they don’t match up with their sleeping partners. Is it time to find a new significant other?

Do you ever feel like it’s impossible to get a good night’s sleep? You start the night with the best of intentions. You get ready for bed at a reasonable hour and lay down to go to sleep. But the sleep just isn’t coming. You try counting sheep and making yourself a glass of warm milk and even grabbing the dullest novel on your bookshelf in hopes of solving your sleeping problems.

Is there anything better than lying in bed and binging on the best movies on Netflix? Our personal favorite is themed Netflix binging. You pick a certain subject, and you watch a bunch of movies about it. Of course, with the weather quickly warming, we’re eager to watch movies about summer!

We admit it. We’re totally obsessed with sleep. We love curling up on our bed with a warm blanket on top of us and a soft pillow beneath our head, and snoozing to our heart’s content.

Your dog truly is your best friend. You do everything together, from running 5Ks and attending your kids’ soccer games to going to neighborhood picnics. But should your four-legged companion be sharing a bed with you?

Is it time for a new mattress?  Most mattresses will last 7 or 8 years, but if you don’t sleep well and wake up with aches or toss and turn during the night it might be time to look for a new one.  There have been so many advances in the technology of making a mattress in the last 10 years and the choices are varied.

Not getting enough sleep has huge effects on our health — from foggy thinking to heart problems to weight gain — but just how much sleep is considered enough?

That’s the question the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) tackled with a panel of scientists who reviewed more than 300 sleep-duration studies and came up with new guidelines, including one for people age 65-plus.

Maybe this sounds familiar: It’s a summer evening, and you and your significant other are headed to bed. She sets the temperature at 72, because she says it’ll save money on your electricity bill. But you want it at 67, because it’s more comfortable, and what real difference could a few degrees make?

You argue, but nobody ever wins. It can feel like debating whether Christmas is more awesome than Halloween. You’re talking about personal preference, right?
