Chasing the safe sleep dream
That Shakespeare really knew his stuff. If you’ve been aching to follow in his poetic footsteps and find the sleep of your dreams, what you do with your body is as important as where you put your body.
Last month we shot a series of videos aimed at sharing information about safe sleep. Sure, we’re a mattress company but sleep is what you’re really buying. And if you’re not following the rules of safe sleep, it won’t matter what kind of mattress you sleep on.
Sleep, like a healthy diet and regular exercise, takes some doing. Some habits will rob you of a good night’s sleep, while others will deliver it – deliciously!
Are you getting the sleep you need? Scroll through our videos and see if there are some tips you can mine to improve your life.
Control Allergens for Safe Sleep

Avoid Stimulants for Safe Sleep
What you eat and drink affects how you sleep. Some drinks (like a warm glass of milk) actually calm the body and mind so you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Other drinks (like coffee) rev up your system, making falling asleep almost impossible. Safe Sleep and coffee are not good bed partners.
