How will I know when it's time
to buy a new mattress?
You may not realize how much support and comfort your sleep
set has lost. Because mattress "loss of comfort and support"
is so gradual, you may not realize that your current sleep set
is not as supportive and comfortable as it used to be. Consider
replacing your sleep set when you find difficulty in getting
a healthy and restful sleep. |

Why would I want a new mattress,
when my old mattress seems "good enough"?
A good night's sleep will help you with everyday tensions and
pressures; it helps the body ward off illness; it reduces your
tendencies toward irritability and it helps you control your
emotions. When you sleep well, you look refreshed and perform
at your very best. A superior sleep set is truly an investment
in your health and well being. Four out of five people will
suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. A
good mattress supports the back and allows it to rest and rejuvenate
during sleep. |

Why is it important to sleep
on the best mattress you can afford?
It's the quality of the construction and components that determines
how long your mattress and foundation will last. The best assurance
of good performance over many years is to buy the very best
quality sleep set you can afford. "Bargain" bedding
is no bargain when it comes to getting a good night's sleep.
For only pennies a night, you can sleep on the best. |

How do I shop for a mattress?
Shop together, if two people are sleeping on the mattress. Wear
comfortable clothes and plan on lying down on the sleep sets
in your natural sleeping positions. Stay relaxed and roll around
and lie on your side. With proper edge supports you will not
feel as if you're rolling off the edge of the bed. Sitting
on the edge of the bed is another good test. This is the best
way to test the comfort and support of the mattress that are right
for both of you. And because mattresses and foundations are
engineered to work together, always buy bedding in sets. |

What size mattress do I need?
Should I worry about sheets fitting on the new, thicker mattresses?
When you choose a mattress size, remember that freedom of
movement is important to quality sleep. A queen or king size
would be the best choice for 2 people, depending on available
space. A queen size mattress gives you about an extra-square feet
of sleeping space compared to the super single size. The following dimensions
are the standard bedding sizes, along with corresponding sheet
sizes. For the new, ultra plush mattresses, look for "high
contour" sheets and mattress pads, specially designed
to fit mattresses 30cm to 54cm thick. Besides sheets and
comforters, you might also want to consider purchasing a quality
mattress pad to keep the top surface clean and sanitary.

Where should I go to shop for
a mattress?
Visit a reputable store where there are knowledgeable salespeople.
This will help take the "mystery" out of buying a
mattress when you can't see what is inside. Most stores utilize
demonstration materials to explain the many layers of insulation
and cushioning materials; the gauge and type of innerspring
coil wires; and the construction of the foundation.

What does the manufacturer's
warranty mean?
Don't depend on the warranty to tell you how long to keep your
mattress and foundation. It is there to protect you against product
defects, not the gradual loss of comfort and support. Keep your
warranty and sales receipt in a safe place. If you have a product
defect covered under the terms of your warranty, be sure to
contact the original retailer where you bought your sleep set.
They will gladly assist you with any questions and help you
solve your problem. If your retailer is unavailable or you have
moved, call the local King Koil factory that services your geographical
area. |

What should I do with my old
mattress?
After you have decided to replace your old sleep set - don't pass
it over to children or guests. If the support and comfort aren't
there, it isn't good for anyone. It is especially important
to remember that healthy sleep is a critical part of your child's
developmental years. Growing spines need proper support and
correct alignment to develop healthy posture. |
