The desire to look younger and more attractive is a billion dollar business.

Just spend a little time watching commercials on television and you will find lots of weight loss, fitness, makeup, and tons of other products that people spend their hard earned money on.

What, you may ask, does an adjustable bed have to do with any of this?

Well according to WebMD, the answer is:

A LOT!

We all know that a good’s night sleep is important for our health, but you may not realize just how much restoring and repairing actually goes on while we sleep.

And those restorative benefits aren’t just good for the inside of your body – they also have real benefits in areas such as skin care.

According to WebMD, production of Collagen 1, which helps keep our skin looking young and smooth, increases when we sleep.

There is real evidence that suggests that getting good quality sleep will leave you with better looking skin.

If you have very dry skin or other symptoms such as puffy eyes or heavy lines or circles under your eyes, you may not need to look at the make-up counter.  You should probably be looking in a different area.

A quick glance around our website may give you some ideas…

Getting a more restful night’s sleep may be just the answer you are looking for.

We’ve certainly talked enough in the past about the health benefits of getting more and better quality sleep.

While there is no better way to do this than to have a quality adjustable bed and the right mattress for you, there are other steps that you can take to help you sleep better.

Even smaller items such as mattress toppers, ergonomic pillows, and high quality bedding can improve the quality of your sleep.

I always tell people how much better they will feel when they get the sleep they need.

Apparently, we will also look better as well…

For millions of people, it’s time to put the snow shovels away and start getting those barbeque grills ready for spring and summer.

We all have our favorite warm weather activities.

For some it’s cranking up the grill, for others jumping in the pool or heading to the beach.

I’ll add one more favorite to the list…

Turning on the ChiliPad.

If you don’t know what a ChiliPad is, you need to pay close attention here.

One of the most uncomfortable parts of summer for many people is being kept up all night by the hot weather.

Even if you have air conditioning, you still have to deal with the uneven flow of air and inability to keep a consistent temperature.

And that doesn’t even begin to consider the cost of keeping the air conditioning running all night.  Those electric bills can get very expensive very quickly.

The amazing little device called the ChiliPad takes care of the problem of the heat keeping you up all night.

Simply place the ChiliPad under your mattress and your bed becomes a customized temperature controlled zone that you can program to the exact temperature you find most comfortable.

Even more remarkable is the fact that the ChiliPad has two zones.

If you happen to share a bed, both you and your partner can program each side of the bed to the exact temperature that you like.

The days of having to compromise and find a temperature that both of you can live with – but that doesn’t really make either of you happy – are over.

If you have struggled to find a comfortable temperature for sleeping during the summer you simply have to get yourself a ChiliPad.

You won’t believe the difference.

By the way, the ChiliPad can warm your bed just as effectively as it cools it.

But that’s a subject for another season.

You have probably seen a commercial for memory foam mattresses.

They have been running those commercials for years and many people swear by them.

You may have heard that they are made from a special material that forms to your body and is both comfortable and good for your back.

All of that is true.

But like most things in life, memory foam mattresses are not perfect.

Many people find that pure memory foam mattresses get very hot and this heat ultimately makes the mattress uncomfortable.

Fortunately, as technology has evolved mattress manufacturers learned that this problem can be overcome by combining memory foam with other materials.

The best mattresses today feature layers of different materials such as memory foam, regular foam, latex, and other materials. You can even find beds made from super high end material such as bamboo and organic cotton.

Whether you like a hard, medium or soft mattress you can find a combination of materials that will be perfect for you.

There have never been more choices and better options.

There are so many different combinations available that you can virtually customize a mattress to your exact specifications and have the perfect level of comfort for your individual needs and preferences.

If you want to customize the sleep experience completely, you can place your specially designed mattress on a state of the art adjustable bed.   The combination of your own special mattress combined with the limitless options of the adjustable bed is as good a sleep experience as you can possibly get.

The ability to combine materials such as memory foam with other luxury and super comfortable materials has made it possible for anyone to have a mattress that is  more plush, elegant and luxurious  than the best and most expensive mattresses available just a few years ago… for a fraction of the cost.

Today, virtually anyone can afford this level of luxury… and comfort!

In truth, it’s no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Your health and well-being relies on a restful night’s sleep.

Just ask your mother!

If you think you don’t need the benefits of an adjustable bed, you may want to reconsider.

Pretty much everyone can agree that it’s important to get enough sleep.

Of course, exactly what it means to get enough sleep can be a subject of much disagreement.

Some swear that they can get by on four or five hours a night, while others can barely function without a good nine or ten hours.

Part of the problem is that we are really lousy at determining how much sleep we actually need.

Recent studies show that most people significantly underestimate the amount of sleep that they need to function optimally. And the consequences of not getting enough sleep can be much greater than you may think.

The difference between getting seven or eight hours sleep can be the difference between being sick and being healthy.

According to a study by Harvard Medical School, people who sleep seven hours or less each night get sick three times more often than those that get eight or more hours sleep per night.

It seems remarkable that a single hour or so can make that big a difference, but our bodies need what they need.

For many of us though, getting enough sleep isn’t easy.

If you’re like most people, you probably spend far too much time trying to find a comfortable position in bed.  And it doesn’t end there – most of us wake up one or more times during the night because we just aren’t comfortable enough to stay asleep.

This stands to reason – it’s not possible for an ordinary bed to provide the comfort and support for all of the different body types.

In comes the adjustable bed to the rescue.

The amazing thing about an adjustable bed is that the benefits are immediate and permanent.  Just lay down, press a couple of buttons and you will instantly be in the most comfortable and relaxing position you have ever experienced.

You will fall asleep faster, sleep through the night, and experience a deeper, more restful sleep.

Just like that!

The ease, convenience, and lower cost of buying a mattress online is very enticing, but some shoppers feels it's a risky proposition because there's no opportunity to try before you buy. Our customers often ask us, "What if I don't like the mattress once I've tried it?" It's a great question. Most online shoppers feel a little hesitation when buying a large ticket item, like a latex or memory foam mattress, online.

Nevertheless, My Luxury Mattress has sold mattresses to thousands of happy customers over the years. So what's our secret?

Well, first, we know what every mattress retailer knows. Most shoppers spend less than 2 minutes trying out a bed before they buy it. That's because most people already know what they want before they set out to find a bed. Everybody sleeps on a bed. People know if they are looking for something soft, medium, or firm.

Life is stressful; there is no way around that.  People try all kinds of strategies to attempt to reduce stress.  Activities such as meditation, yoga, and regular exercise have been shown to help with various forms of stress.  Unfortunately, for many of us, these can be challenging to participate in regularly.

Most of us know that stress is bad for us, but we don’t often think of the devastating effect that it is having on our bodies and lives.  One study stated that 90% of all visits to the doctor are for stress related symptoms.

While actively trying to reduce stress is a great idea, in reality it can be difficult and frustrating.  Fortunately, there is something everyone can do that will help you to relax in both the short and long term – Get a great night’s sleep.  The benefits of better quality sleep are incalculable. 

Actually that’s not true, they HAVE been calculated and the results are startling.  Some of the benefits of sleeping better include:

• Lower rates of suicide and depression
• Lower rates of many diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and ulcers
• Increased productivity

And for the best and most relaxing sleep experience possible nothing comes close to an adjustable bed.  If you have never experienced what sleeping on a high quality adjustable bed does for your body, you owe it to yourself to find out.  The ability to put your body in the exact position that is most comfortable and supportive allows for the type of sleep that cannot be matched by any “regular” bed.

With so many aspects of stress being difficult to manage, it’s comforting that there is one thing we can all do to help us relax and feel better.  We just have to do it. 

A simple solution for a complicated problem…   what’s better than that!

If you are one of the millions of people who tend to overheat while sleeping, you don’t have to suffer any longer.   Cool Flash Pillows and Cool Flash Mattress Covers have been shown to reduce the overheating that makes getting a restful night’s sleep so difficult. 

Imagine waking up in the morning not covered with sweat because you made the simple change of using the proper pillow and mattress cover. And the benefits go well beyond feeling cooler.  When we overheat during the night we are unable to get adequate amounts of the REM sleep which is so important for our bodies.  Not only do we not feel refreshed when we awaken, we spend the rest of the day suffering the consequences of not getting the restorative sleep that we need.   Thanks to the Cool Flash technology that no longer has to be the case.

Our Cool Flash products feature Outlast Smart Fabric Technology.  This is the same technology that was developed by NASA to help keep Astronauts cool while being subjected to dramatic changes in temperature.  The fibers in our Cool Flash products actually absorb the heat from your body, helping you to feel cooler and sleep better. 

In addition to the benefits of a cooler and more restful night’s sleep, our Cool Flash products also feature Softloft, which is a hypoallergenic material that also happens to be super soft and luxurious.  Anyone who has ever suffered from allergic reactions will find this to be a welcome change from the down material found in ordinary pillows and mattress covers.

For those who desire a cooler night’s sleep, the solution is just a mouse click away.

If being smothered by excess body heat from your partner or hot flashes are a concern for you while you sleep, there is some amazing technology available now to make a good night's sleep as cool as you are. From the Chilipad to smaller, less intrusive products like the Cool Flash mattress pad and pillows, we've got you covered.

Studies have shown that being overheated in bed actually reduces the restfulness of your sleep, limiting the amount of REM-type sleep we experience. These great products can help you achieve a more deep sleep so you can wake feeling more rested and refreshed.

Some products, like the the Chilipad work by running water through small silicone tubes inside the pad that help raise or lower the temperature of the sleep surface to make it right for you. The Chilipad can work great for couples who have different sleep temperature preferences because of the different zones. Each can be set differently to accomidate multiple preferences.

The Cool Flash mattress pad has Outlast technology which actually absorbs your body heat, allowing you to cool down more quickly, The magic all happens in this special fabric, which helps cool the micro climate under the covers and wick away moisture from you as you sleep. There is also a pillow that is made from the same fabric, allowing you to rest your head on a cool, comfortable surface.

Making sure your sleep happens in a cool, comfortable environment can help you rest and relax. Using these products with either a standard innerspring mattress or a memory foam or latex mattress can help reduce instances of night sweats and waking up frequently due to hot flashes. Get more restful sleep by cooling the environment you rest in and wake refreshed and ready to show the world just how cool you really are.

If you, or your loved ones, are bothered by snoring, the answer may be as simple as the bed you sleep on.  Studies have shown that sleeping on an adjustable bed can help reduce snoring.   According to the studies, sleeping at an elevated angle can help to open up the airways, which often results in the reduction of snoring. 

It’s important to note that extreme snoring may indicate a serious medical condition called Sleep Apnea.  Anyone with this type of snoring problem should be under the care of a physician.  But for most of us, with just the typical snoring issues, sleeping in an upright position can make a big difference. 

The only way to maintain a sleeping position at the proper angle is with an adjustable bed.  There are, of course, many other benefits to adjustable beds.  Health issues such as back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, and many others have been shown to benefit from sleeping on an adjustable bed. 

With all the benefits of sleeping on an adjustable bed, the obvious question is why doesn’t everyone do it?  While more and more people are making the switch; for many of us, moving away from what we have always known can be difficult.   We may understand that there is a better choice, but changing from what is familiar can make us uncomfortable. 

When it comes to our bodies though, the benefits of making the switch are well worth it.  People who sleep on adjustable beds can’t believe the difference both in comfort and in the rejuvenating quality of the sleep. 

And you just might find that it helps your snoring as well. 
 

It might not be something you think of as often as you wash your sheets and mattress protector, but keeping your pillows clean is an important step towards reducing allergens and having a comfortable sleep experience. Each type of pillow is made to be treated differently, so it is important to read and follow the manufacturer's directions when cleaning your bedding. Here are some easy tips to get you started washing your pillows:

• Experts recommend washing your pillows at least twice a year and washing pillow protector cases every month when you wash comforters and blankets.
• For down and down alternative pillows that are machine washable, try to wash two at once to keep the washing machine in balance.
• Using a liquid soap will help reduce soap residue left behind on your pillow during the washing cycle.
• Run pillows through two rinse cycles to be sure all the soap has been rinsed out before drying.
• Adding laundry scents such as lavender instead of fabric softener can give you an aromatherapy experience for extra relaxation.

To dry your pillows, again, be sure to follow the directions on the label. Here are some things to keep in mind when you dry out your freshly laundered pillows.

• Make sure to try all your pillows completely. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth which would increase allergens and may lead to illness.
• Use a low heat setting on synthetic fabrics or down alternative pillows.
• To encourage fluffy softness, toss in socks or tennis balls during the drying cycle to prevent filling from clumping together as it dries.
• Add fabric softener sheets with a few drops of essential oil for to add a bit of aromatherapy to your night time rest.

Some pillows, such as memory foam or latex pillows, are not safe for machine washing. These pillows are best covered with a washable pillow protector that can be removed and thrown into the wash every few weeks. These pillows last a long time, resist allergens and can simply be replaced when needed.

Don't forget where you rest your head when you clean your bed! Making sure to keep your pillows as you clean twice a year can ensure you have a great night of restful sleep for years to come.
