How to Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule

How to Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule

It may sound obvious, but falling asleep and waking up at the same time every day is the number one rule of how to keep a consistent sleep schedule. When our body’s internal clock becomes accustomed to a schedule, our brains begin to release melatonin, the sleep hormone, when it knows it’s time for bed. This then allows us to have a deeper, more restful sleep and in turn, more energy throughout the day to complete our daily tasks. 

If you are unsure if you currently have a healthy sleep schedule, ask yourself these questions: Do you find yourself feeling groggy and fatigued by the afternoon? Do you have little to no energy by the time work is over? Are you a frequent nap taker?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you likely need to figure out how to fix your sleep schedule in order to get the best quality sleep. Without quality sleep, you may find yourself hitting a mental wall every day from fatigue, and experiencing various health problems down the road. No worries, the experts at Texas Mattress Makers have helpful information and tips on how to keep a consistent sleep schedule.

Why is my sleep schedule so inconsistent?

If you are a student or an employee, you likely live by a routine: classes start at 8 a.m., work meetings start at 9 a.m., dinner starts at 7 p.m., etc. However, life can be unpredictable. Although a sleep schedule insists that you fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day, that may not always be realistic.

You may have nights where you stay up late to finish assignments or watch your favorite shows. You may want to hit snooze on the weekends if you don’t have to be up early. There are many reasons why your sleep schedule may be inconsistent, but like in many aspects of life, consistency is key. Developing a consistent sleep schedule is the best way to ensure that you get the rest your body needs to function. It can be difficult, but it is necessary for your overall health and well-being. 

What is considered a consistent sleep schedule?

Consistent sleep schedules will vary from person to person depending on their specific needs and daily routines. In general, adults should set aside no more than eight hours every night for sleep. 

So, if you have to be awake at 6 a.m. to get ready for work, try to go to bed somewhere between 10-11 p.m. As long as you are falling asleep and waking up at the same time every day, even on the weekends, you will be able to properly align your circadian rhythm — the 24-hour cycle that is a part of the body’s internal clock. This cycle sends signals to your body when it’s time to go to sleep and will wake you up when you are fully rested. This is a healthy sleep cycle. 

However, knowing how to keep a consistent sleep schedule (or how to fix your sleep schedule that isn’t working) takes more than just setting an alarm. Certain lifestyle choices can aid in helping you to get the best sleep ever.

Expert tips for better sleep

Tip #1: Buy the best mattress for your needs

The truth is, even if you abide by a sleep schedule, your circadian rhythm can still be disrupted if you are tossing and turning throughout the night. A bad mattress is a slippery slope to bad-quality sleep. Finding the most comfortable and supportive mattress for your needs can guarantee a more restful night’s sleep and will improve your health overall.

Tip #2: Create a relaxing bedtime routine

In a world that encourages you to go, go, go, it’s important to know when it’s time to slow down. The key to falling asleep quickly is to be in a zen state. We have a great list of tips for unwinding before bed that can put your mind at ease and helps you to relax. Having a clear mind for sleep is one of the best ways to ensure that you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Tip #3: Avoid overstimulation

Sticking to a sleep schedule can be tough if you are stimulating your brain too close to bedtime. Stimulants such as bright lights, exercise, or caffeine can make it difficult for your mind to slow down, keeping you awake. This means that scrolling through social media and having an after-dinner coffee are off the table if you want great quality sleep. Instead, turn off your phone, take a warm bath, and practice some relaxing stretching exercises before bed.

Texas Mattress Makers Can Help You Get Better Sleep NOW!

At Texas Mattress Makers, we care about our customers’ sleep quality, which is why we have decided to share these tips on how to keep a consistent sleep schedule. We know that it may not be easy, but with the right mattress, you’ll be excited to go to bed every night and will wake up rested and ready to take on the day.

What Type of Mattress is the Most Supportive?

What Type of Mattress is the Most Supportive?

These days, proper mattress support can be difficult to come by — so how do you find the most supportive mattress for you? Buying a bed with the proper support can make all the difference in your sleep quality. Unfortunately, many sleepers make the mistake of buying a mattress simply because it feels comfortable while ignoring the foundation of the mattress itself: the support system. 

The experts at Texas Mattress Makers are here to explain the importance of proper mattress support, showcase what types of mattresses are typically the most supportive, and share tips for how to find the most supportive mattress for your needs. 

Why proper mattress support is important 

Better support equals better comfort which results in better sleep.

Think of a mattress’s support system as the foundation of a house. Even if your house is made with great materials on the outside, low-quality materials in the foundation will cause it to crumble. Now, imagine what an unsupportive mattress will do to your body. Spoiler alert: aches and pains!

The job of supportive components in a mattress is to support the comfort layers — so that they can perform properly — as well as the sleeper’s body weight. A supportive mattress should be able to fill in the gaps between your body and the mattress. This means that the mattress can withstand your weight properly as you sleep throughout the night, regardless of sleep positions or firmness levels. 

Here is our founder Youval Meicler explaining the importance of proper mattress support and how he, and the other experts at Texas Mattress Makers, can help you to find the most supportive mattress for you.

What type of mattress is the most supportive?

The quick answer to this question is whichever mattress will suit your specific needs. We say this phrase frequently because it is the absolute truth. There is not one type of mattress that will be best suited to support every person. Mattresses are not one size fits all, meaning that what works best for someone else may not work for you. 

Which type of mattress is best for back support?

There are a few misconceptions that we need to clear up surrounding this question.

  1. Misconception: One type of mattress is best for back support. Wrong! There is not one singular mattress type that will provide back support for the masses. Whether it’s a hybrid mattress or a memory foam mattress, at the end of the day, the best mattress type for back support is one that will promote healthy spinal alignment and will keep your body comfortable and supportive.

  2. Misconception: Firm beds are best for back support. So, are firmer beds better for your back? They can be if that is what would suit your body best. You see, there is a difference between a firm feel and a supportive mattress. If you hate firm beds, then you will not sleep well on one. It’s as simple as that. You can find a supportive mattress that matches your comfort level preferences perfectly. No need to sleep on a stiff board if you don’t want to.

  3.  Misconception: Only the back needs support. Many sleepers subscribe to the misconception that the back is the only area of the body that needs support. In reality, the back, the spine, the hips, the shoulders, under the knees…all of these areas need to be supported when you lie down on a mattress. 

How to find the most supportive mattress for you

Which type of mattress is best for body pain? What mattress will make me the most comfortable? When customers come to us with inquiries like these, we begin by asking them a series of questions about themselves and their sleep habits. The more our experts get to know you, the better they can recommend a supportive mattress that would best suit your needs. 

1. Know your sleep preferences

Questions we ask those who visit our showroom*: 

Q: What is your height, weight, and body type?

Men and women typically distribute weight differently on their bodies, so it’s nice for us to be able to recommend a mattress that can best fit your body type.

Q: What are your preferred sleep positions? Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach? Are you a combination sleeper? 

Knowing how your body lays when you sleep will help us to determine which areas of the body will need to be supported. For example, if you sleep on your side, we will recommend a mattress that will support your shoulders and hips while promoting healthy spinal alignment.

Q: What are your preferred firmness levels? Do you prefer plush, soft, medium, or firm? 

From there we can combine that support with a comfort level that fits your preferences. Supportive mattresses can be soft as well! 

Q: Do you have any aches or pains when you wake up in the morning?  If so, where?

Knowing if you have specific issues with your current mattress and sleep patterns will help us find out how your mattress is not supporting your individual body type and sleep preferences.

*You can also find questions like these and more in our Sleep Profile Quiz.

2. Look at the components

Knowing what your mattress is made of is crucial to finding the most supportive mattress. We carry different types of supportive components in our showrooms, including support coils, that can suit any sleeper’s needs and budget. 

One of our most popular components is the Quantum coil, which has a reputation for being the most supportive coil in the industry. Mattresses that use Quantum coils are great for sleepers who prefer a medium-firm to firm mattress, sleepers with weight concerns, and sleepers with injuries.  And while this is a top-of-the-line material in terms of offering the highest level of support, it is not for everyone.  We make sure that we are not selling you something because it is the “best” and will raise the cost of your investment.  We truly believe you should buy what is best for you.

Comfort components can also have support benefits. Our high-resilience foam is a more durable and supportive foam component for those who prefer the cushion of foam but don’t want to feel like they are sinking into the mattress. However, the best supportive component for you will all depend on your specific needs. 

3. Try the mattress in person

Would you buy a car without test-driving it? Of course not! The same principle applies to beds. You should always try before you buy a mattress to ensure that the mattress feels and performs exactly to your liking. If you skip this step, you may end up paying a great deal of money for a mattress that you don’t even love!

We have multiple Houston-area showrooms that are filled with a variety of different mattresses for you to try in person. Our experts are well-versed in the components used in the production process because we manufacture every mattress that we sell in our showrooms. With their expertise and the knowledge provided about your unique sleeping habits and preferences, they will be able to help you choose the most supportive mattress that will last you a lifetime. 

Find a Quality Mattress with Proper Mattress Support at Texas Mattress Makers

Obtaining a bed that provides proper mattress support all depends on what you need from a mattress. Texas Mattress Makers sells the most supportive mattresses in Houston for a better price than other large retailers. If you want the highest-quality mattress made with the top support and comfort components in the industry, you need to visit a Texas Mattress Makers showroom and meet with one of our experts.

Why You Should Buy a Mattress Without Fiberglass

Why You Should Buy a Mattress Without Fiberglass

Texas Mattress Makers’ top priority is the safety and comfort of our customers — which is why we reassure our patrons that they can find a mattress without fiberglass in our showrooms. If you haven’t heard of fiberglass being used in mattresses before, let us give you a brief history lesson.

What is fiberglass?

Fiberglass, as the name suggests, is a fiber-reinforced plastic that can be woven and embedded with glass fiber. You may be thinking, what does fiberglass have to do with mattresses? 

According to the safety regulations set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), mattresses are required to be manufactured with a flame retardant material so that they can withstand exposure to open flame for a sustained period of time. Some mattress manufacturers use fiberglass as a more affordable way to make their mattresses flame retardant and meet the industry standards — however, fiberglass is not always safe for sleepers.

Is it safe to sleep on a mattress with fiberglass?

We certainly wouldn’t recommend it! Here’s why.

Fiberglass is typically found in the inner mattress cover, where the body has no direct contact with the mattress. As long as that stays intact, it shouldn’t pose a threat. But because we sleep on our mattresses every single night, it is natural for them to experience some wear and tear. This can allow the small glass shards to break through the barrier and make contact with your skin and release into the air around you. This is where things can get dangerous.

The health risks of fiberglass exposure

While fiberglass exposure is not deadly, contact or inhalation can cause skin and eye irritation as well as worsen asthma or bronchitis symptoms in both children and adults. Just imagine inhaling microscopic shards of glass — it sounds terribly uncomfortable! Not to mention that removing fiberglass particles from your home can be costly, on top of the cost of a whole new mattress!

Believe us, it would be smarter, safer, and more cost-efficient to purchase fiberglass-free mattresses for your home.

How do you know if a mattress has fiberglass?

It is important to note that not all mattresses contain fiberglass. Low-quality poly-foam and memory foam mattresses can include fiberglass to cut down on costs. If you do choose to purchase from bed in a box companies or national mattress chains, be sure to check the tags on the mattress or ask a representative if the mattress contains fiberglass. Unfortunately, you can’t count on them to tell you the truth. 

This is why we promote purchasing directly from a manufacturer when buying a mattress. With a manufacturer, they can provide full transparency regarding the mattress construction process so that you know exactly what you are sleeping on.

Because Texas Mattress Makers manufactures every mattress that is sold in our showrooms, every salesperson has knowledge of how the mattress was made and what specific components make up the product. They would be able to answer any questions you may have about what your mattress is made of. Other mattress retailers can’t do that. That is the Texas Mattress Makers difference.

Shop at Texas Mattress Makers for fiberglass-free mattresses

You shouldn’t have to worry about small glass particles ruining your good night’s sleep. Getting a great quality mattress without fiberglass is easy and stress-free right here in Houston! Texas Mattress Makers is a local mattress manufacturer that can provide you with the best mattress without fiberglass for an affordable price. 

Instead of harmful fiberglass, we use Sereni Sleep®, a safe flame retardant fiber placed in the support system of the mattress that won’t escape into the air and cause irritation. We are required by law to use this, however, as a customer you do have the option to waive your option to use this material as part of your mattress construction. This dedication to safety and comfort, alongside many of our other manufacturing methods, is what makes us the best mattress store in Houston. All of the materials we use to make our mattresses are of the highest quality in the industry and are locally sourced from Texas and Louisiana. It is our mission to provide the most comfortable and supportive mattresses to our customers that will last them a lifetime.

If you are looking for a mattress that is guaranteed to be made with safe, effective materials, Texas Mattress Makers has what you are looking for.

Houston’s Texas Mattress Makers CEO Explains 40+ Years of Success

Best of the Best Winner

Texas Mattress Makers was honored to win the Best of the Best Mattress Store in 2022. This award means a lot to our family at Texas Mattress Makers because it was voted for by Houstonians, themselves. 

For us, our customers are our top priority. Their sleep is what keeps us up at night and it is what makes us try to be the best at what we do. We want everyone to understand the importance of sleep and to get the best mattress for their best night’s sleep. So, it means a lot that our customers trust us and our mattress experts as much as they do that we won this esteemed award. 

This article was featured by the Houston Chronicle and we are excited to share it with the people who made this possible.

Featured Article in the Houston Chronicle

You spend roughly a third of your life asleep. Restful sleep has been connected to all sorts of physical and mental health benefits. Sleep is important! So why don’t most of us care more about the mattress we’re sleeping on? It stands to reason that having a quality mattress to ensure great sleep should be a top priority for everyone. But who should you trust with this important decision? The answer, according to Youval Meicler, owner and founder of Texas Mattress Makers, might surprise you.

“You are the best person to decide what mattress is right for you,” says Meicler. “Our job is to help educate you on how to make that choice.”

Meicler and his staff have been educating Houstonians on what they should be looking for in a mattress since Meicler opened Noah’s Manufacturing in 1979. Theirs is an entirely different approach than you’re likely to get at a big brand name mattress retailer where the priority is selling. At Texas Mattress Makers, there’s only one goal: to make sure you get a good night’s rest.

“Nobody goes to a mattress store for fun. You go because you need a new mattress!” explains Meicler. “We don’t need to sell you on anything — we don’t have salespeople! We are manufacturers who know how to approach a mattress and teach our customers what mattress will make them the most comfortable.”

If you find Meicler’s straight-talk approach refreshing, it’s because he views his business as the antidote for a very real problem in today’s mattress industry. Modern retailers are more marketing machines than they are mattress stores, employing gimmicky language that purposefully keeps consumers confused. Big marketing means big budgets. Once you add in the overhead costs, profit margins, and the simple fact that retailers shave to buy the mattresses they sell from someone else, there’s no way any consumer is getting a fair deal.

As manufacturers who only sell the mattresses they make, Meicler and Texas Mattress Makers can focus on quality, comfortable mattresses at appropriate prices.

“The biggest misconception consumers have is that buying a name-brand mattress equals buying a quality mattress,” says Meicler. “While once true, this is simply no longer the case.”

Youval Meicler can speak knowledgeably and frankly because he’s an expert who spent four decades perfecting his craft. After working his way up from a janitor to the head of a furniture manufacturer in the 70s, Meicler amicably parted ways with his boss, promising to not compete with someone whom he respected. Instead, he began manufacturing mattresses, learning over the last 43 years not only everything about mattresses but also vast amounts of knowledge about human physiology and psychology. Having a conversation with Meicler about finding a mattress that’s best for you is a bit like taking a psychological survey. Meicler asks you about you, your sleep habits, and the reasons why you’re looking for a new mattress.

“Sleeping badly is just a bad habit. It can be broken with the right mattress and the right sleep techniques.”

Meicler’s charisma and effortless command of all things mattress-related are infectious. Just ask his employees. The environment inside every Texas Mattress Makers showroom is fun, educational, and customer-focused. Empowering customers to have complete control over their mattress decisions means customers leave excited about their purchase. You can see their dedication to their customers with their Comfort Guarantee, which gives a customer up to 90 days to make sure they are comfortable and sleeping soundly.  Even if, a customer returns within that 90-day period and is unsatisfied, Meicler says he’s just as excited to see them as he was the first time, because it means they have even more working knowledge to find the perfect mattress.

“I love what I do, and I care about my customers. It’s that simple,” says Meicler. “I am happy when I know I’ve helped my customers get the best sleep they can get.”

Total commitment to his mission led Houstonians to vote Texas Mattress Makers as the “Best Mattress Store” during the Houston Chronicle’s recent “Best of the Best” awards. Meicler also earned the Houston Business Journal distinction of “Most Admired CEO,” an award that honors his commitment to Texas Mattress Makers and its employees, his civic involvement, and his career achievement. Customers of Texas Mattress Makers tend to agree. Just read their reviews, where customer after customer describes helpful, positive experiences. If a negative review is submitted, Meicler responds to every single one to help amend the complaint. Talking with Meicler, one gets the impression he lives, sleeps, and breathes mattresses and their ability to change customer lives for the better.

“The secret is to discover the preferred sleeping position of each individual,” explains Meicler, a task that he says is part technical, part scientific, and part engineering. But ultimately, it’s about mutual respect for the individual customer and the product Texas Mattress Makers works so hard at perfecting. Texas Mattress Makers only sells their products – of which they have extensive knowledge of proprietary components designed specifically to individuate their product.

“We never forget that we’re manufacturers,” says Meicler. “Low overhead means a fair price. It’s about taking care of a customer’s comfort and need.”

Finding a mattress that helps you achieve peaceful, restful sleep should be a priority. Making this decision without the education and advice of experts means you’ve probably just bought a high-end marketing campaign. Avoid big retailers and online mattress brands.

We Have the Best Mattress Deals in Houston: Here’s How

We Have the Best Mattress Deals in Houston: Here’s How

If you have been searching high and low for the best mattress deals in Houston, we have good news for you! Purchasing a mattress is an investment. Because you will likely spend at least a third of your life sleeping, it is crucial that you find a good-quality mattress with proper support that provides true comfort — these traits should not be compromised. The fact that a good mattress is an investment, however, does not mean that it has to break the bank (especially in this economy!)

Although some mattresses come with extremely high price tags, we are here to tell you that it is possible to find an amazing mattress at an affordable price. Texas Mattress Makers is a local mattress manufacturer and retailer that offers our customers the best mattress deals in Houston for the highest quality products. 

How much do mattresses cost?

How much do mattresses cost? This question prompts a wide variety of answers. The cost of a mattress can be dependent on many different factors including quality of components, other materials used, and, of course, brand name. Some retailers offer mattresses at prices that will shock you, whether they are astronomically high or suspiciously low. We are here to tell you that these retailers’ prices are often not reflective of the quality of their products.

Expensive vs. cheap mattresses

There has been debate about what type of mattress will give you the best bang for your buck: is it worth it to buy an expensive mattress, or will a cheap mattress do the trick? While many consumers believe that a cheap mattress will be good for their wallet (and fine for their sleep quality), they would be wrong. A cheaply made mattress will not only worsen your sleep quality, but because it will wear down faster than a quality mattress, you will have to end up buying a new one in a few years anyway, and not saving money in the long run. It is important to remember that in the mattress industry, this is an investment in your health and well-being.

Plus, a good quality mattress does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. If you are looking for the best mattresses on a budget, Texas Mattress Makers carries a wide variety of mattress types and comfort levels that are suitable for any budget. At Texas Mattress Makers, we only sell mattresses that we make, meaning we don’t carry other mattress name brands. Because of this, we directly control our prices so our customers can pay for the quality of the product and nothing else. In terms of quality, you will not find lower prices for the mattresses we offer at any other mattress stores in Houston because they are constructed to last you a lifetime. 

Here’s why Texas Mattress Makers has the best mattress deals in Houston

You may be wondering, how can we deliver such high-quality mattresses and still provide such great prices? Here’s how we make it happen.

We are a manufacturer and a retailer

When you buy a mattress from a big mattress retailer, those products often come with hidden fees: storage costs, product distribution costs, marketing costs, and a manufacturer-to-retailer markup among other things. In this economy, you shouldn’t have to cover the retailer’s fees with your hard-earned dollars.

At Texas Mattress Makers, you don’t have to worry about any hidden fees or labor costs because you’re buying a factory direct mattress. We reduce our operation costs by producing all of our mattresses at our on-site factory in Downtown Houston and selling them directly to the customer. As the manufacturer, we set our own prices and decide costs our way.

In order to make the best affordable mattresses, we decided that our customers would only pay for the materials used to make their mattress. No hidden costs. No unnecessary fees. Just a lifetime of comfortable and quality sleep. 

We sell mattresses that are made to last 

Many consumers (retailers too!) tend to believe that a mattress will only last you eight years. How does that make any sense?! We think that when you spend money on quality materials that are ideal for you, they should be durable and supportive enough to last a lifetime! Although that is our logic, many mattress sellers don’t agree.

Mattress retailers are more concerned about selling mass-produced, overpriced, lower-quality mattresses than selling a product that will last. Unfortunately, many shoppers will shell out thousands of dollars for national mattress brands because they believe that their products will give them the best quality sleep. News flash: they won’t! If you want to save time and money, purchase a mattress that is made to be slept on for years to come!

Texas Mattress Makers constructs mattresses using only the highest-grade materials available to create a perfect blend of supportive and comfortable components that can withstand wear and tear. With us, you may only have to purchase one mattress for the rest of your life! 

We offer year-round deals

What is the best month to buy mattresses on sale? Most stores will make you wait until a holiday comes around to get any good deals — like any other retail industry, mattress stores typically have a few big holiday sales a year on days like Black Friday or Labor Day. We however don’t believe that amazing mattress deals should be reserved for special occasions. 

It is our mission to make good quality sleep as accessible and affordable as possible. That’s why we offer the best mattress deals in Houston all year round! Whether we’re offering free shipping and upgrades, free gas money, or simply slashing prices, you can always find incredible deals in-store and online. Check out our mattress sales to see what deals are available now! 

We employ trustworthy and knowledgable experts

When you shop at a Texas Mattress Makers showroom, you will save both time and money by trusting our experts to help you make the right decision. A mattress is an investment and we want you to feel 100% confident in the mattress that you choose. Our experts (not salespeople) take the time to explain how each mattress will perform due to its different components. With all of this knowledge at your fingertips, you are more likely to leave with a mattress that will be best suited to your individual needs. No need to waste hours trying out a million mattresses at a name-brand store when our experts can help you find the one in a fraction of the time. Buying a mattress directly from the manufacturer allows you to go directly to the source if you need any help or support with your mattress purchase. These are some of the reasons why Houston voted Texas Mattress Makers as the Best of the Best Mattress Store in 2022. 

Texas Mattress Makers has the best mattress deals in Houston 

Whether you’re looking for high-quality luxury mattresses or an affordable hybrid mattress, we have the best mattress deals in Houston. It’s no secret why we have been called the best mattress store in Houston — we have the reviews and the rewards to prove it! At the end of the day, it is our mission to educate our customers about how to obtain the best quality sleep possible on a mattress that will fit your budget and your unique needs.

If you’re looking for the best affordable mattresses in the Houston area, we’ve got you covered. You can either shop online or in-store at one of our convenient showroom locations to save big on our outstanding products. Better sleep awaits!

Best Mattress for Pregnancy

Best Mattress for Pregnancy

Is there truly a “best mattress for pregnancy”? Many parents know that once a baby is born, the amount of sleep they get decreases significantly. However, many sleep problems for mothers begin well before the baby even arrives. 

Pregnancy can be the most exciting and beautiful time of your life, but it can also take a large toll on your sleep quality. Your body is going through a lot, and it’s important to understand how sleep will affect your body, mood, and overall health as you go through this journey. 

Sleep is essential for every human being, but for pregnant women, quality sleep can help lower the risks of developing health complications during pregnancy. While the experts at Texas Mattress Makers are not doctors, we do know a thing or two about how to keep you — and as a result, your baby — happy, healthy, and well-rested.

Disclaimer: This article is intended for educational purposes in case you are looking for a new mattress while pregnant. The experts at Texas Mattress Makers suggest that pregnant women should avoid buying a brand new mattress unless they are extremely uncomfortable sleeping on their current one. Because pregnancy results in constant changes to the body, it is likely that a new mattress can solve your current discomforts, but may not account for how you will feel in the future. If you are looking for a temporary solution such as more cushion, this would be the time to look into a mattress topper or even a pregnancy pillow to suit your immediate needs. We suggest waiting a few months post-pregnancy once your body has had time to recoup to come into our showroom and be fitted for the right mattress for your needs. 

How should you sleep while pregnant?

At Texas Mattress Makers, we tell every customer that they should sleep in a position that makes them the most comfortable — however, pregnant women are typically advised by their doctors to sleep a certain way to alleviate pain and prevent complications. For example, pregnant women are told to avoid sleeping on their backs as it can decrease oxygen to the placenta and, of course, sleeping on your stomach can be incredibly uncomfortable.

Expert Tip: If you do happen to fall asleep on your back, there’s no need to panic! People naturally return to their preferred sleeping position unknowingly as they sleep. If possible, try placing a pillow behind you when you go to bed. This way if you do happen to roll on your back during the night, the pillow will provide a wedge to keep your body at an angle.

What is the healthiest sleep position when you’re pregnant? Sleeping on your left side with a pillow between your knees promotes healthy circulation and can also reduce acid reflux which can get particularly uncomfortable during your third trimester of pregnancy. However, it is important to note that even if you are sleeping on your side as recommended, you will not reap any of the benefits if you are sleeping on a bad mattress. 

What type of mattress is best when pregnant? 

Most mattress retailers or large internet listicles will tell you that the best mattress for pregnancy is a particular type of mattress…and while might not be wrong, they aren’t right either. There is not one type of mattress that benefits all pregnant individuals. Mattresses are not one-size-fits-all, regardless of your situation. However, there are certain features that can make sleeping a more comfortable experience for any pregnant sleeper.

Proper spinal support and pressure-relief

Those who are pregnant should make sure that they have two main qualities in a mattress: pressure-relieving comfort and sturdy support for the hips. Because you will likely be sleeping on your side, the pressure points that will have the most contact with the mattress will be your shoulders and hips. Your mattress should be able to support your body and your spine while also keeping you comfortable.

Is it better to sleep on a firm or soft mattress when pregnant? The answer to this question is not a definitive one. There is no right or wrong answer. According to our mattress experts, firmness and softness refer to the feel of a mattress, whereas support refers to the mattress’s way of providing spinal alignment. Firmness levels are all about preference, and one is not exclusively better than the other but there is a healthy balance. 

For example, if you choose a mattress that is too soft, your hips and shoulders can sink too far into the mattress, throwing off your spinal alignment, and resulting in pain and soreness. On the other hand, a mattress that is too firm can put too much pressure on your hips, shoulders, and back. We have a list of the most comfortable mattresses for side sleepers that can promote healthy spinal alignment.

We do suggest that you have some plush for pressure point relief, especially since you will most likely be sleeping on your side. You will want to have a foam comfort layer or an alternative, high-performance comfort layer that will provide enough “give” to take the pressure off of your shoulders and hips as you sleep.

Cooling capabilities

It is very common for pregnant individuals to experience hot flashes, especially during the first trimester and the first month or two once the baby is born. Studies have shown that pre- and post-partum, changing hormones increase body temperature, increasing the likelihood of night sweats. If you’re sleeping on a mattress that does not regulate your body temperature well enough, you could get uncomfortable hot flashes that disturb your sleep. And you don’t need any more discomfort than what you may already be experiencing during pregnancy.

A mattress with cooling technology can be a great solution to combating hot flashes. Texas Mattress Makers provides a line of cooling mattresses where our Ice Blue Cooling Technology is sewn right into the quilting of the mattress for proper temperature regulation all night long. Say goodbye to sweaty, uncomfortable nights and hello to cool, comfortable sleep that will help you wake up feeling refreshed. 

Additionally, individually wrapped coils in the support layer, or hybrid mattresses, are also a very good option as they promote airflow and allow your body heat to flow throughout the mattress. This will help provide a cooler sleep surface.  

How to find the best mattress for pregnancy for you

How do I find the best mattress for me? As we said earlier, it’s important to evaluate your current needs to see if a new mattress is even the right solution. Many new parents like to take advantage of changing life events to invest in bigger purchases: a new house, a new car, or a new mattress. While this may seem like a great idea now, we would heavily advise waiting until you have fully recovered postpartum to see if a new mattress could address your current needs. We want your investment to last, not to be a temporary solution. If you have any questions, feel free to come into any of our showrooms to speak with an expert for advice.

If you decide that a new mattress is the answer, here is how you can find the best mattress for you with the help of the experts at Texas Mattress Makers.

1. Take our sleep quiz

Our mattress experts have created a questionnaire that is designed to get to know your unique sleep habits, body type, comfort and support preferences, and more! The Sleep Profile Quiz is designed to understand what your particular needs are to find a mattress that can help check all of those boxes. Once you get your quiz results, you can come to any of our showrooms to try it out for yourself, and order online, right then and there!

2. Speak with our mattress experts

Whether you speak with an expert on the phone or meet one in person, our showroom staff are educated in every step of the mattress construction process. That means that our experts can give you the most in-depth knowledge about how each mattress is made and how each component can be beneficial to you. If you are pregnant, our experts can account for the changes your body will be going through and can help you to make a decision that will give you the best quality sleep before and after your baby is born. Our showroom also allows our customers to try as many different mattresses as they need to, to find the perfect fit.

3. Prepare for the future

When searching for the best mattress for pregnancy, you also have to consider what may be the best mattress for you as a parent. For example, how long will you be in bed resting? Will you be breastfeeding? Do you plan to spend a lot of time in bed? If so, looking for mattresses with an adjustable base can be very helpful for feeding, lounging, and cuddling with your newborn. We carry a selection of some of the best adjustable mattress bases that can make getting in and out of bed simple and easy for new parents.

Texas Mattress Makers can help you to find your perfect mattress 

The truth is, the best mattress for pregnancy may be the mattress that will suit you best following the postpartum period. Regardless, throughout this entire process, it is important that you try to get as much rest as possible on the best mattress possible. The experts at Texas Mattress Makers can help you to find the right mattress for you and your needs at a more affordable price. We understand that raising a child is no easy feat, and you deserve to get quality rest with little to no stress. 

If you’re interested in finding a top-quality mattress that will last a lifetime without breaking the bank, visit any of our Houston-area showrooms or speak with an expert over the phone to find your perfect mattress match.

Why Our Customers Say We’re the Best Mattress Store in Houston

Why Our Customers Say We’re the Best Mattress Store in Houston

Many businesses in the industry will claim that they are the best mattress store in Houston — but as a customer, how can you be so sure? Especially in turbulent times like these, customers want to spend their valuable time and hard-earned money with a business that they can trust.  One of the best ways to tell if a mattress store is trustworthy is to read the reviews! Who better to trust than real-life people who have actually purchased and slept on the mattresses you’re researching?  

Texas Mattress Makers was named the best of the best mattress store in Houston because our customers are at the core of our business practices. For over 40 years, we have been handcrafting and selling quality mattresses for lower prices to ensure that everyone can have the best night’s sleep possible, no matter the budget. If you’re searching to find the perfect mattress, here is why real customers believe that we are the best mattress store in Houston.

1. We offer the highest quality mattresses

In the era of beds in a box and national mattress chains selling mass-produced beds, quality mattresses can be difficult to come by. Many customers have been trading in quality for convenience by settling for mattresses that are simply “comfortable” and don’t provide the proper amount of support that is necessary for healthy sleep. Texas Mattress Makers does things a little differently.

Texas Mattress Makers is more than just a mattress retailer, we are a mattress manufacturer. Every single one of our mattresses is handmade in our on-site factory in Downtown Houston. Our mattresses are only made with locally-sourced materials that are of the highest grade in the industry, whereas our competitors use lower-quality components to lower their prices. Big mattress manufacturers will sacrifice quality by mass-producing mattresses with less quality material that might appear comfortable at first, however, are not built to last. At Texas Mattress makers, each mattress is manufactured with the customer in mind, a perfect blend of comfort and supportive properties that will result in a good night’s sleep for years to come. 

Here is what a Texas Mattress Makers customer has to say about the quality of our mattresses.

“Because I wanted to be sure of the quality of my mattress, I have waited almost a year to write this review. I could not be happier with everything about Texas Mattress Makers from the moment I walked in the door. Unlike other mattress stores I went to, the sales guy here was not pushy. He was very informative and then let me test the mattresses. When I went to other mattress stores to compare the quality, spring count, etc., I found the prices at the big-name stores were at least double, even the “on-sale” prices. Most importantly, the mattress from Texas Mattress Makers is even more comfortable than I expected and I always have a restful night’s sleep.”

2. We have the best mattress deals in Houston

How can we carry some of the most affordable mattresses in Houston while still providing the highest quality product possible? Because we have a secret weapon that other mattress stores don’t — our expert craftsmen. As mentioned above, because we hand make all of the mattresses that we sell in-house, we are able to provide quality mattresses at our low, factory-direct prices. 

When you purchase a mattress from Texas Mattress Makers, you only pay for the components used to make your mattress and the delivery fee (if you choose to have your mattress delivered). That’s it. We cut out third-party vendors so that you do not have to pay excessive fees.

“Can I find the best mattress for me for a fair price?” You can, and it’s easy with Texas Mattress Makers! We believe that a good night’s sleep should not break the bank, which is why we offer some of the best mattress deals in Houston so that you can go home with a great mattress that will fit your needs and your budget. Many customers have come into our showrooms and have found the best mattress for their needs for a price they loved. 

“We loved the fact that the mattresses were made right here in Houston. Their lowest line mattress that costs less than $300 as a full-size set felt as good as the $1,700 set from other big-name mattress stores nearby. We purchased a set two grades up from their budget model for about half of the “special” deal one of the sales persons was going to get for us at the name-brand store nearby. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.”

James G. | Verified Customer

3. We hire experts, not salespeople 

A common complaint that we hear about big mattress retailers is “pushy salespeople.” Oftentimes, when customers go into a large mattress store, they feel as if the salesperson spends the majority of the interaction selling them on just any mattress and not listening to the customer’s needs. Do they know if that mattress will suit you? No, they don’t. Do they have a vast amount of knowledge about how that mattress is constructed and its components? Unlikely. Salespeople are just that — people that are trying to make a sale. They are not invested in selling you the best night’s sleep, they are hoping that you will buy a mattress from them. 

Instead of salespeople, Texas Mattress Makers employs mattress experts, people that oversee every step of the mattress construction process so that they can use that knowledge to provide you with the best mattress for your unique needs. 

When you ask an expert at Texas Mattress Makers, “Which mattress should I buy?” they will ask you a series of questions in order to determine which mattresses may be best suited for your needs. What is your preferred sleeping position? Do you sleep hot? Do you share the bed with another person? From there, if you elect to visit our showrooms in person, they will let you try out as many mattresses as you like before finding the perfect fit. We’re not in this business to just sell mattresses, we are here to help you on a journey to get great quality sleep that will improve your quality of life. That is the difference between a salesperson and an expert.

“Wow! These guys know their business. The experience was a professional assessment of how one sleeps vs. a pushy process to upgrade to the most expensive options. Highly recommend!”

What is the Best Cooling Mattress Topper?

What is the Best Cooling Mattress Topper?

In the Texas summer heat, many sleepers may be wondering, what is the best cooling mattress topper? Although there are many cooling mattress toppers on the market to choose from, the best cooling mattress topper is, in our opinion, our Ice Blue mattress topper, an innovative cooling component that focuses on comfort and body temperature regulation to beat the heat.

If you are in the market for a cooling mattress topper, look no further. Texas Mattress Makers has the technology you need to keep cool all night long. Before we dive into what our Ice Blue technology can do for you, let’s discuss why you may be sleeping hot during the night.

How do I know if I need a cooling mattress topper?

Studies have shown that sleeping in a neutral or cooler environment (around 66-70 degrees Fahrenheit) can result in more restful sleep — this proves that temperature regulation is of the utmost importance for a good night’s sleep. So, if you are someone that tends to sleep hot, you may benefit greatly from a cooling mattress topper to help you regulate your body temperature as you snooze. 

What does it mean to sleep hot? To know if you are a hot sleeper, ask yourself, do you wake up often in the middle of the night because you feel too warm? Do you wake up feeling sweaty? If so, you are likely a hot sleeper — and unless you have a medical condition, the cause of your excessive warmth is likely your mattress. 

Traditional mattresses absorb our body heat as we sleep. Certain materials, foam in particular, are unable to release our body, trapping it in, and creating a warmer sleeping surface. Memory foam mattresses have their benefits, but if sleeping hot is an issue for you, you may want to consider a cooling mattress topper to help combat the heat as you sleep.

Are cooling mattress toppers worth it?

Cooling mattress toppers can certainly help to combat hot sleeping, but the mattress experts at Texas Mattress Makers are here to let you in on a little secret: traditional cooling mattress toppers will not keep you cool all night long. Why is that? 

Traditional cooling toppers are typically made of a thin layer of cotton, wool, or gel that are designed to draw heat away from the body. These materials will only keep you cool for about an hour or two, but not the full 7-8 hours you will spend sleeping. With traditional cooling toppers, you’ll spend all that money on a product that will only provide a few hours of comfort and won’t make a difference in your overall sleep quality. 

So, how can I keep my bed cool at night? Don’t worry — Texas Mattress Makers has the solution you are looking for. 

Meet our Ice Blue Cooling Technology

If you’re tired of hefty air conditioning bills or waking up sweating in the middle of the night, purchasing a cooling topper might be the move for you. In our expert opinion, the best cooling mattress topper is our Ice Blue topper. The Ice Blue topper is made of a phase-changing material that helps with body temperature regulation all night long. This innovative material draws heat away and dissipates it instead of trapping it in the mattress. 

Instead of a thin layer that simply lays on top of your bed, the Ice Blue technology is sewn right into the quilting of the mattress topper for a long-lasting, more comfortable feel. Texas Mattress Makers has a line of cooling mattresses in which the cooling technology is pre-sewn into the quilted topper — or you can add the feature to any compatible mattress. This way, you can have your dream mattress with the added cooling technology!

Want to know more about our Ice Blue cooling technology? Texas Mattress Makers owner and President Youval Meicler explains what makes this topper top-tier.

What Mattress is Best for Me?

What Mattress is Best for Me?

What mattress is best for me? This question crosses the mind of every customer that walks into any Texas Mattress Makers showroom. It’s important to note that finding the answer to this question may take a little effort on your part to truly find the best mattress for you. Trust us, it will be worth it in the long run!

Just as people say there is one right person out there for everyone, we believe there is a right mattress for every individual. Because each person has unique preferences and specific needs, we don’t believe in selling customers a one-size-fits-all solution to getting the best quality sleep possible. At Texas Mattress Makers, our expert craftsmen produce a wide variety of mattresses that can suit a variety of sleeping styles and circumstances. 

With a little help from our experts, you can easily find your perfect mattress match by following these tips.

How do I know which mattress is right for me?

Memory foam, hybrid, latex, Quantum coil…with each type having its distinct benefits, how are you supposed to know which mattress is right for you? The answer to how to find the best mattress could be much simpler than you realize. As we mentioned earlier, every sleeper is different and will be drawn to different types of mattresses. The truth is, the best mattress for me may not be the best mattress for you, so finding out what you need from a mattress is crucial in your search process.

If you take one thing from this article, we want you to remember this: The goal of the perfect mattress is to give you the best night’s sleep possible — that’s it! In order to find a mattress that can check all of your boxes, follow these steps to help you begin your search for the best mattress.

Step 1: Take our Sleep Profile Quiz

There are many retailers out there that will put out a “best mattress for me quiz” that consists of basic, surface-level questions that don’t take any of your personal needs into account. The Texas Mattress Makers Sleep Profile Quiz is a questionnaire that will ask you in-depth questions about your body type, sleeping habits, personal preferences, budget preference, and more! This quiz is designed to get to know you and how you sleep in order to find the answers you have been looking for: the “best mattress for me.” After you have answered your questions, the quiz will generate the mattress it believes could be a great fit for your needs! From there, we recommend either discussing your results with one of our experts on the phone or visiting any of our Houston-area showroom locations and trying the mattress out for yourself! 

Spoiler alert: we still really recommend visiting our showroom — here’s why.

Step 2: Come into our showroom and try out our mattresses

Having your results from your Sleep Profile Quiz can give you a ballpark idea of what you might be looking for, but the only way to be certain is to try before you buy. Have you ever slept on someone else’s guest bed or on a hotel mattress, and like in the tale of Goldilocks, felt that those mattresses were too firm, too soft, or just right? Goldilocks had the right idea by trying out all sorts of different mattresses before she found the one that suited her best. Without laying on the beds, she never would have known which mattress felt the most comfortable and supportive.

The benefit of visiting the showroom in person is that any of our experts can walk you through the process of trying out all types of different mattresses for a more personalized and efficient shopping experience. You won’t have to feel overwhelmed or unsure of your decisions because you will be in the knowledgeable and compassionate hands of our mattress experts.

Step 3: Speak with an expert

When you visit a Texas Mattress Makers showroom, you are not stepping into just another mattress store — you’re visiting a mattress manufacturer that only sells what they produce. Our mattress experts are present during each and every step of the mattress construction process and can answer any questions about how the mattresses are made and their unique benefits. 

An expert can take the time to understand your needs and assess what components may help you obtain the best quality sleep better than any salesperson could.

Step 4: Choose your new mattress

After trying out as many mattresses as you like, your expert can assist you in choosing what mattress may satisfy all of your needs based on your body type, comfort preferences, and special circumstances. But what if your perfect mattress isn’t on our showroom floor? What if you love the feeling of one mattress but the supportive components of another?

Have no fear, the mattress craftsmen are here! Texas Mattress Makers can create a completely custom mattress that will improve your sleep quality immensely because it is tailored to you. But wait…how much does it cost to make a custom mattress? Less than you think! Because we handmake all of our mattresses in-house, you only have to pay for the components used to make your mattress. That’s it! You will spend less money on a fully customized mattress that is perfect for your needs than you will replacing multiple non-supportive, low-quality mattresses over the years.

Whether you go the custom route or shop in-store, we will ensure that you leave with a mattress that you LOVE! If you’re having doubts about the comfort after 90 nights, we’ll do whatever we can to make it right. 

What Mattress is Best for Me? Find Out with Texas Mattress Makers!

The answer to how to find the best mattress is simple: take our Sleep Profile Quiz, speak to an expert, and try out mattresses in our showroom. It is a foolproof plan for finding the best mattress for you. Why is it important that you shop with Texas Mattress Makers? We’ll tell you.

Why Mattress Construction Matters

Texas Mattress Makers factory worker

Though many mattress retailers will try to sell you a mass-produced mattress made out of basic mattress components, we are here to tell you that mattress construction matters to get your best night’s sleep. 

When you walk into a classic mattress store, you might notice that all of the white rectangles look the same. If you were to sit on a few, you might also think that they feel similar. Because of this, you might be tricked into thinking that mattresses are, for the most part, all the same — and this could not be further from the truth.

While most mattresses look the same from the outside, the difference is in the details of the layers inside. What your mattress is made of is what is going to make the difference between a terrible night’s sleep and a great night’s sleep. After 40+ years of being in the mattress industry, our founder Youval Meicler shares his knowledge and expertise by explaining why mattress construction matters.

What are the components of a mattress?

Mattresses are made up of two main mattress layers with different components: the comfort layer (the top layer) and the support systems (the bottom layer). The comfort layer is typically made up of types of foam, latex, or other materials that contribute to the overall feel and comfortability of the mattress. The support layer is made of resilient and durable materials like individually wrapped coils in a hybrid mattress or our Quantum coil mattress component that are meant to give the support your body needs in order to achieve proper spinal alignment and relief for your body’s pressure points.

If two mattresses were to have the exact same comfort layer on the top, they would feel the same — at first. It’s what’s below that layer — the lower layers of the support system — that matters in the long run. The support — the part you can’t really see, feel, or compare on your own — is actually the most critical component to a great night’s sleep. Here’s why.

Why mattress construction matters

Not all mattresses are made equal. Similar to most products, some are made with higher quality materials than others. In today’s industry, it’s common for customers to prioritize convenience and cost over comfort and quality. They may purchase just any mattress because it’s cheaper without really looking at how the mattress is constructed or what it’s made of.

Mattress construction matters because if you purchase a mattress made with low-quality materials or it does not contain the right mattress components to support your body, you will end up with a mattress that reduces your sleep quality, and in turn, your quality of life. A mattress with low-quality materials will also put you back shopping for a mattress sooner than you, and your budget, want. That’s why our experts are here to help you find the best mattress so you can get back to your best night’s sleep soon and for longer.

The importance of the support layer

The support system you choose can literally make or break your sleep quality over time. Your mattress is meant to support your body and provide you with proper spinal alignment as you sleep — if it does not accomplish that, it is a bad mattress. Having a bad mattress can result in aches and pains, lost sleep, and other health concerns. 

The importance of the comfort layer 

The components in the comfort layer are also very important because they need to be the right quality and the right type for your individual sleep needs and comfort preferences. There are many different types of foam that are made to achieve different feels and offer different levels of comfort. There are also foam alternatives that are made to help achieve a different type of comfort. We have a variety of options and the expertise to help educate you on what the different components are in the comfort layer and how they will help you achieve your best night’s sleep.

The importance of choosing the right mattress components

Mattresses that look and feel exactly alike can be made of different mattress components. If you aren’t aware of this, you may end up purchasing a mattress that is not right for you. When you are shopping for the perfect mattress, it’s important to be aware of what you really need out of a mattress before buying one. 

Every individual has their own unique set of needs in order to get quality sleep every night, and different mattress components can better suit different needs. Factors such as your body type, your weight and height, and your preferred sleeping position can determine what type of mattress components will be best for you. 

How to test a mattress

The best way to determine if a mattress is right for you is to test it before you buy it. If you’re wondering how to test a mattress, we use the S.L.E.E.P test for customers who visit any of our showroom locations. 

Select a mattress.

Lie down in your typical sleep position.

Evaluate the level of comfort and support.

Educate yourself about each selection.

Partners should test beds together.

While testing out a mattress, spend extra time in the position you usually sleep in. It can take up to 15 minutes to relax enough to feel the true support of a mattress. Don’t rush it! The more time you take in a store, the less likely you’ll have buyer’s remorse later on.

Mattress Construction Comes First at Texas Mattress Makers

Texas Mattress Makers prioritizes mattress construction. In order to get the best night’s sleep possible, you need to purchase a mattress that is made from high-quality mattress components with the proper support system that is right for you, not anyone else. Our competitors do not invest in the same level of components that we do because they are more focused on mass production over quality in mattress construction — and they do not want to sell you a mattress that will last 10+ years in the hopes that you will spend more money over time. However, a high-quality mattress should not cost you an arm and a leg.

Because we handmake all of our mattresses in our on-site factory, we are able to provide our customers with a top-tier product for a lower price. The perk of buying a factory-direct mattress from Texas Mattress Makers is that you can rely on our experts and local craftsmen to help you to find the best mattress for your needs. We would love to help you sleep your best by educating you on the true differences between choices and the support you need.

If you’re curious about how to shop for a mattress, there are many ways to go about the process. You can shop online, call 713-341-6252 to speak with an expert, or visit any of our convenient Houston showroom locations today to find your dream mattress. Better sleep awaits!
