For Healthier Sleep,
Ask the Right Question
Imagine how you feel after a good
night’s sleep. What does that feel like?
Refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to
start the day? Sure. How about less
grumpy and more peppy? Your family
might like that. Does a good night’s sleep
keep you awake at the wheel and more
productive at work? You betcha! Now
imagine a whole week of good sleep.
Better yet, imagine getting a good night’s
sleep for the rest of your life. But better
sleep can be elusive, unless you ask the
right question.
People ask me all the time, “What is the
best mattress?” Oh boy, what a loaded
question. Over the years I’ve found
myself struggling to understand just
what my customer is asking me. Do
they want to see the most expensive
mattress or the one they recognize
from advertising? I’ve got a store full
of mattresses to fit sleep needs from
occasional guest bed to top-of-the-line
luxury, support, and comfort. But which
one is best?
What I’ve come to realize is that my
customer has come to me for advice but
is only asking part of the question that
needs to be asked. They’ve forgotten
about the most important part…
themselves! The question they need to
ask is, “Which mattress best suits my
sleep needs?” See the difference? With
better information about you and your
individual sleep needs, I can help you
find a sleep solution.

I like to learn about your sleep. Why are you replacing
your mattress? Is it simply old and worn out or does
it sag, leading to back discomfort? Do your hands
and feet get that “pins and needles” sensation from
a pinch in circulation? Do you and your partner roll
toward the center of the bed? With knowledge of your
current sleep environment I can more accurately guide
you to a product that will provide a
superior experience to what you’re
sleeping on now.

The next step is to find out what
sleep issues you suffer from. Do
your shoulders and hips hurt
throughout the night? Do you snore
and toss and turn? How about
restless leg, fibromyalgia, acid
reflux, poor circulation or breathing
issues? Wow, that’s a lot of stuff
that can affect sleep. Let me guess—
an issue on this list caught your
attention? Usually does. No one ever
shops for a mattress just for the
sake of buying a mattress. Mattress
shoppers are intent on sleeping
better and eliminating sleeping
issues through the purchase of
a proper mattress. Think about
that statement: a new mattress =
better sleep = improved health. So
why does everyone hate mattress
By Ben McClure
shopping if the end result is better health like we
visualized in the first paragraph?
At Gardner’s, we strive to custom fit the mattress
to you. I’ve got a mattress to help or reduce each
of the aforementioned sleep issues. For example, if
you tell me you have lower back discomfort, I may
recommend a Tempur-Pedic for its ability to shape
and mold to the arch of your back to keep your body
in proper spinal alignment. If you tell me you suffer
from snoring, breathing, or circulation issues, a power
adjustable base to elevate your head and legs may be
necessary. A latex mattress from Pure LatexBLISS may
be beneficial for someone with allergy issues, as latex
is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant.
A warmer than average sleeper may prefer a Serta
iComfort bed with its gel-infused memory foam to
sleep cooler.
The mattress buying process is not automated. If it
were easier, I’d install vending machines so you could
slide your credit card, hit C-5 and have a mattress pop
out. That’d be one big machine! In fact, some stores
even use a computer diagnostic program to match you
with a mattress. Let me tell you, a computer cannot
choose a mattress for you better than your own body
can. A computer only knows numbers and formulas; it
doesn’t feel pain and doesn’t need to sleep. You owe it
to your body and your health and well-being to spend
the right amount of time choosing the right mattress.
And it’s not always going to be a quick and easy
process—better sleep should not be rushed.
One last question I get from customers is “Well, it
feels good here in the store, but how do I know it will
be comfortable when I get it home?” Now this is one
we totally understand and have developed a unique
solution. The Dream Room at Gardner’s Mattress &
More is a private mattress testing room designed to
allow you a unique opportunity to “try before you
buy” any mattress in our showroom, in a no-pressure,
quiet environment. No more guessing. Additionally,
any purchase made through the use of the Dream
Room comes with a no hassle, 1-year comfort
exchange. We encourage you to learn more at: www.

Gardner’s Mattress & More is
established in Lancaster as the

proudly displaying 28 premium foam
based and handmade sleep systems
in a relaxed setting. We’ve written a
book to help you through the mattress
process called What’s Keeping You
Up at Night, A Guide to Overcoming
Common Mattress Buying Mistakes.
There have been many changes in
the bedding industry in the last ten
years and we want to arm you with the
right information about mattresses
to make the best decision possible.
