Hints From Heloise

Are you getting a good night’s sleep? Are you sleeping better or worse than you did a year ago? Do you wake up feeling stiff or sore? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time for a new mattress.

In fact, the Better Sleep Council recommends that you check your mattress twice a year. A good suggestion is to inspect the mattress when the clock changes to and from daylight-saving time. We’re getting ready to “fall back,” so now would be a good time!

For more information on buying and caring for a mattress and facts about sleep and how important it is to your health, the Better Sleep Council is offering a free brochure. If you’d like a copy, please send your request to: BSGA, P.O. Box 19435, Alexandria, VA 22320. - Heloise
