[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<p style="text-align:justify;">We’re all supposed to get about 8 hours of sleep per night, right? If you’re dealing with a chronic illness, you may require more sleep to feel functional and rested the next morning.When we sleep, our body has a chance to repair itself, creating muscle tissue and releasing important hormones. Tossing and turning each night instead of getting restorative sleep can leave you uncomfortable, wide-eyed, frustrated — and in even more pain the next day. A lack of sleep increases chronic pain, and chronic pain reduces your ability to obtain necessary sleep. A mattress can make or break a good night’s sleep.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Everybody deserves a good night’s sleep, but everyone’s body responds to various mattresses a little bit differently. It won’t matter how comfortable your mattress is if it isn’t the right size for you. At Bradford Furniture, our Sleep Specialists know mattresses inside and out. We can help you learn the ins and outs of memory foam, latex, inner spring, and much more, and then leave you free to nap on our floor models for as long as you wish.</p>

With our expertise and personalized approach to customer care, we can help you find the right mattress to suit your body type.
<h3>1: Don’t assume a firm mattress is better</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Many people with chronic pain have repeatedly been told they need to sleep on a firm mattress to reduce pain. Although there isn’t a large body of research on the subject of chronic pain and mattresses, one 2015 studyTrusted Source indicated that a hard mattress may not always be the best choice when trying to improve your sleep quality and decrease pain.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">During the study, more than 300 people with low back pain slept on mattresses that were categorized as either “medium-firm” or “firm.” Following the completion of the 90-day study, participants who had slept on medium-firm mattresses reported less pain while lying in bed and during waking hours than those who had slept on the firm mattresses.Even though you might have been told to sleep on a firm or hard mattress, this may not be the best choice for all people with chronic pain. </p>

<h3>2: Look for a mattress with a money-back guarantee</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">New mattresses can be pricey. Plus, there’s no assurance that the one you pick will ease your chronic pain or be the right firmness for you. While you may be able to try it out in the store for a few minutes, how do you know if the decision you’re making will work for you in the long run? When you decide to buy a new mattress, look for a company that offers a money-back guarantee. That way, you can test drive your bed for 30 days or more, knowing that you can return the mattress if you’re not satisfied. But be sure to read the fine print — the money-back guarantee may only apply to certain mattress brands in the store.</p>

<h3>3: Safe material and construction</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Some furniture pieces are made with potentially-harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and fire retardants. This is why it is important to check carefully where the furniture you’re planning to buy was manufactured, how it was constructed, and the materials used for manufacturing it. A safe furniture is a comfortable furniture. It gives you a peace of mind that the stuff in your home doesn’t pose hazards for you and your loved ones. 
</p>

<h3>4: Hygienic</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Beds, couches, and other furniture pieces are a breeding ground of dust mites, molds, mildew, oil, grime, and other despicable kinds of dirt that are potentially harmful to your health. When choosing furniture pieces for your home, especially your bedroom, select the ones that are easy to clean and maintain.</p>
