So, how can know which store is the best mattress store in Miami?

Best of the Best: What to Look for in a Mattress Store Today, there are many varieties of mattresses out there. Each unique mattress composition offers unique benefits (while some are low quality and must be avoided). To find the best store and sales team, consider each of the items below.

1. Selection

The best mattress store should have a good selection so that you can find your perfect bed. Some stores have only a few beds on the floor and once you come through the door they tell you the three beds they are showing are good, better and best and everything out there is the same. This just is not true. Brickell Mattress in Miami has more than 30 mattresses on their sales floor and each and everyone feels different and offers different solutions for different needs, desires and budgets.

2. Quality

We have all seen the mattress set propped up outside a store with a $69 tag on it. This is not a bed you want to spend a third of your life on. A quality mattress is one that will last and feel just as comfortable on the 500th night as it did on the first. Look for stores that have a generous return policy and beds that have warranties against defects in materials as well as workmanship.

3. Price

We as consumers have become so price savvy. To prevent the price comparison shoppers many mattress stores have the manufacturers “private label” the mattresses they carry. This means you could visit 5 different mattress stores, look at the same bed at each and not even know it because they all have different names. One store that does not do that is Brickell Mattress in Miami. They will honestly tell you who makes the mattresses they sell and what beds they are comparable to.

4. Knowledgeable Staff

There is nothing worse than asking a sales person a question about a mattress on display and having them stand next to you and read off the features from the card in front of the bed. You could have done that yourself. At Brickell Mattress, each member of our sales team is a luxury Sleep Expert. They know about how sleep positions, health issues and body size affect your quality of sleep, and what kind of bed works best with each person’s individual issues.

5. Reputation

Here is another factor that the internet has made incredibly easy for us as shoppers. You can check out a mattress store’s reputation online at sites like yelp or yahoo local. The best judge of a store’s performance is it’s past customers so find out what they experienced and avoid those places you have been warned about.

6. Customer Support

This is about service after the sale. How fast will a store deliver your mattress? What happens if something goes wrong? Do they stand by what they sell and will they take it back if it is not all you expected?

Brickell Mattress is conveniently located at 1030 8^th Street, Miami FL 33130. To learn more about our industry-leading selection of mattresses, speak with a Sleep Expert at 305-326-4000.

When we purchase a luxury mattress, we don’t think of how it will intertwine with our lives enough to be part of our history. It could be the first item you purchase to begin furnishing your new home or the first big purchase you consider with your significant other. Mattresses have played an important role in our history, but they wouldn’t have gotten there without its own history.

The History of the Luxury Mattress

Most people don’t know how long mattresses have been in existence. Its history begins in 3600 B.C. and since then the design of the luxury mattress has changed significantly.

3600 B.C. Persians made the first water beds out of goatskins and filled them with water.

3400 B.C. Egyptians slept on palm boughs piled in the corners of their homes.

200 B.C. Romans slept on bags of cloth stuffed with reeds, hay, or wool. The wealthy usually slept on feather stuffing which could be considered the first luxury mattresses.

1400s Mattresses were made out of pea shucks, straw or sometimes feathers, stuffed into coarse ticks, and covered with velvets, brocades or silks.

1500-1700 Mattresses were stuffed with straw or down feathers and placed on top of a bed consisting of a timber frame with the support of rope or leather.

Early 18th century Mattresses are filled with cotton or wool

Mid 18th century: Mattress covers are made of quality linen or cotton. The mattress box is shaped or bordered with fillings of natural fibers, such as coconut fiber, cotton, wool, and horsehair. The mattress is buttoned to fasten the stuffing to the cover and the edges are stitched.

Late 19th century: The box spring mattress is invented.

1930s: Innerspring mattresses and upholstered foundations become popular along with artificial fillers. Enclosed coil spring mattresses also have their springs sewn into linked fabrics.

1950s: Foam rubber mattresses and pillows become available for purchase.

1960s: The waterbed is introduced and becomes a popular luxury mattress choice alongside adjustable beds.

1980s: Air mattresses composed of vulcanized rubber or vinyl are introduced.

2000′s: Multitudes of sleeping options and features become available. From air to water luxury mattresses, there is a type to fit everyone’s needs. That’s where we come in!

As we all know sleep is a fundamental part of our lives, but did you know that your sleep position impacts your overall rest? Your sleep position can be the source of certain issues, for instance, lack of energy in the morning, aches and pains, snoring and even wrinkles. Research has shown that on your back is the best sleep position because it helps avoid neck and back pain, reduces acid reflux and minimizes wrinkles.

Time to Start Sleeping on Your Back

Sleeping on your back aligns the neck and spine to ensure that there are no extra curves in your back while sleeping on your luxury mattress. The worst sleep position is lying on your stomach. This is because it can produce snoring and put pressure on your joints and muscles, irritating nerves that can lead to pain and numbness.

What Your Sleep Position Says About You

Interestingly, sleep positions can indicate your personality type in addition to determining how well you’ll sleep. Professor Chris Idzkowski has studied six of the most common sleep positions and has concluded that each position (fetus, log, yearner, soldier, freefall and starfish) is linked to a specific type of personality.

• Fetus (curled up with your knees to your chest) – This sleep position suggests that you are tough-skinned, sensitive at heart, emotional, and shy at first but develop a comfort zone rather quickly.

• Log (on your side with your hands against your side)– This sleep position suggests that you are a social and easygoing person, very trusting of strangers and sometimes gullible.

• Yearner (on your side with arms stretched out in front of you) – This sleep position suggests that you have an open nature, tend to be suspicious and are slow to make up your mind.

• Soldier (on your back with your hands against your side) – This sleep position suggests that you are sometimes quiet and reserved, and tend to set high standards for yourself and others.

• Freefall (on your stomach with arms sprawled out on pillow) – This sleep position suggests that you are outgoing and brash, but also fearless and thin-skinned. You are not fond of criticism or extreme situations.

• Starfish (on your back with arms sprawled out on pillow) – This sleep position suggests you are good at making friends, are an excellent listener, offer help when necessary and don’t like to be the center of attention.

We spend most of our time sleeping in one of these positions. Whether it’s the best or the worst sleep position, a luxury mattress can be sure to give you that good night’s rest you’ve been waiting for!

Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism translated as “seize the day”. With our Carpe Diem mattresses we want you to seize the night! At Brickell Mattress, we know how important a good night’s sleep is, and that’s why we provide only the best luxury mattresses, like the Carpe Diem.

The Founding of Carpe Diem Beds

Carpe Diem Beds was founded by a chiropractor named Börje Thuleskär. His goal was to establish a luxury mattress that alleviated pressure points, offered customized support and reduced motion transfer better than an ordinary mattress. The process of finding the right configuration of materials, pressure mapping and comfort testing took over two years to complete. Once finished, they patented their techniques and quickly became the highest rating bed in Sweden.

Within a Carpe Diem

This specific brand of luxury mattress is upholstered with natural materials, such as New Zealand wool and organic cotton, and has an adopted design by Pelle Vävare. These materials keep the bed breathable and cool to sleep on. In addition, the Scandinavian and European Union environmental certifications – SWAN and Oeko Tex – have certified that these beds contain no harmful materials and that the environment is not harmed by their production.

Where Can You Find a Carpe Diem?

The popularity of the beds has grown to almost every European country and it has made its way to the U.S. From the beginning, Carpe Diem Beds has focused on providing the correct level of support while relieving pressure points and Brickell Mattress is continuing their mission here in South Florida.

Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is important, but not everyone knows the specifics as to why. Sleeping well improves your mood, increases mental clarity and aids in weight loss. Most adults usually tend to sleep 63 percent of the recommended eight hours and don’t receive the maximum benefits of a full night’s rest.

Sleep Boosts Brainpower

During the REM (rapid eye movement) cycle, your brain works to solve problems by boosting creative thinking— most likely by establishing new communication pathways in the brain. Ultimately, a good night’s sleep will allow your brain to think peacefully.

Sleep Improves Performance

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just provide you with a clear head and better focus; it also is essential in terms of performance. A study was conducted on basketball players at Stanford University that concluded that a good night’s sleep improved speed and free throw accuracy, reaction time off the starting blocks and kick strokes by .51 seconds.

Sleep Aids Weight Loss

Did you know that going to bed early could help you control your appetite? Those who go to bed later tend to eat more calories after 8 p.m. than those who went to be earlier. This is because when you’re tired, ghrelin (the hormone that regulates hunger) rises while leptin (the hormone that regulates satiety) decreases.

Getting a good night’s sleep is a win in itself but sleeping well year round is an accomplishment. With a luxury mattress it makes it all the more easier and possible to achieve it, however it isn’t the only determinant of how well you sleep.

As seasons change, so does the weather. Depending on how it is outside, your sleeping habits may need a little assistance adjusting to help you sleep better at night. Here are some tips, for each season, to help you sleep your best and feel great all year.

Fall

To get back into the routine after an eventful summer, it’s time to prepare for the rest of the year. Fall is a great time of year to analyze not only your sleeping arrangements but your potential guests as well. Is it time to buy or replace your luxury mattress?

Winter

Winter is the coldest season of the year and the goal is to keep as warm as possible. You can purchase a Chilipad and heat up your bed all winter long. With a luxury mattress and the right luxury bedding accessories you can sleep great any time of the year, especially in winter.

Spring

Spring is the time of year for deep cleaning. Eliminating any dust or debris will alleviate your allergies and keep you from experiencing a sleepless night. One thing to consider is purchasing a mattress pad to protect that mattress from any stains, dust mites and other debris.

Summer

Summer, unlike winter, is the warmest time of the year. However, similar to winter, purchasing a Chilipad can cool your bed during those hot, summer nights (you can even alter the temperature for each side of the bed).

After being in the bedding industry for over 8 years, we know what you’re looking for in a mattress. We are here to fill your need for quality sleep. Contact us for a sleep consultation today.

Once you have purchased your luxury mattress, you will want to ensure that it stays in the best condition possible! Below are three, simple mattress care tips and three resulting benefits to help you prolong the life of your luxury mattress:

1. If you select to sleep on a King or Queen sized mattress, your bed frame must have a center leg to support the middle.

2. We recommend that your mattress be rotated once a year to ensure balance and long-term sustainability, starting with an initial rotation after six months.

3. If your mattress becomes soiled, we recommend that you use a small amount of antibacterial soap and a warm damp sponge to clean it.

In following these three tips, you will enjoy the following benefits maintaining your luxury mattress has to offer:

1. Our luxury mattresses will mold and contour to your body shape and sleeping positions while relaxing pressure points usually experienced on inexpensive beds.
