Don't get the wrong idea, I'm talking about mattresses here. A poor quality kingsized mattress could prove to be more comfortable and accomodating than a top quality full sized mattress. That's right. The difference the extra 24" in "stretch room" makes can change the way you sleep through the night.
The mattress industry has made a concerted effort to slowly phase out the double, regular, or full sized mattress over the past 30 years. Back in the day the full sized mattress was all the rage for two consenting adults. What were we thinking? A full sized mattress is the exact width of two crib mattresses side by side. Who came up with that formula?
Don't think that a king sized mattress does away with intimacy either. You can always meet in the middle or invite each other to "your" side of the mattress. Now I am not advocating a poor quality king size mattress for your next mattress purchase. I'm just saying when it's time for your new mattress, which it probably is, then consider upsizing to a king if your bedroom allows, or to a queen if not. Of course you need to select a feel and firmness that is "just right" for you. The right mattress can make all the difference in the world in the way you sleep and wake up the next day.
So, treat your queen to a king and deal yourself a winning hand. Check out the sleep experts at The Bed Store by coming into one of our eight East Tennessee locations today and start sleeping better tonight.
