What are some sleep facts to help me get better sleep? Here are the simple habits our mattress experts share every day.
At a Glance
For better sleep: choose a mattress and pillow that give you both comfort and support, keep the bedroom dark, quiet and 60–65°F, follow a relaxing bedtime routine, and finish eating two to three hours before bed.

Everyone is different, but most people need certain things in place to fall asleep and stay asleep. We want to be your mattress store for life through lifelong care of your sleep.
A comfortable mattress & pillow
The number one sleep fact: if your mattress and pillow are wrong, your sleep will suffer. Make sure your mattress and foundation meet your needs for both comfort and support, and if you share the bed, that you both have room to move easily.
Keep it dark
Light is one of the body’s most powerful time cues. The rising sun can wake the brain long before the alarm. A dark room is the most conducive to sleep, day or night.
Quiet, steady sound
Sudden, loud noises disrupt sleep. Steady, low sounds, like the whir of a fan or air conditioner, are soothing because they block out distracting noises.
60 to 65 degrees
The ideal bedroom temperature is 60 to 65°F (16 to 18°C). A room that’s too warm or too cool can disrupt comfortable sleep.
A relaxing routine
Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine, such as a warm bath followed by reading or soothing music, to help your body wind down.
Eat earlier
Finish eating at least two to three hours before your regular bedtime, giving your body time to digest and lowering the risk of indigestion.
