Memory Foam Mattresses: Sleepless No More!

Tired of waking up tired? Wish you could get some better sleep? Tired of tossing and turning to get comfortable? Then it’s probably time for a new mattress and a memory foam mattress may be just what the doctor ordered!

A few years back, writer, Cathy Alter, spent the night in a mattress store and shared her night in a Washingtonian article entitled Finding the Perfect Mattress. During her night at the mattress store, Ms. Alter spent up to 90 minutes on each mattress. This is a fun concept for an article, and better than the quick in-store trial in a well broken-in bed that most people get, but sleeping in a store in a strip mall isn’t going to cut it either.
