Make This the Summer Everyone Actually Sleeps Well

Summer is all about the good stuff — long evenings, kids home, the whole family under one roof more than any other time of year.

It’s also when everyone’s sleep gets a little chaotic: later nights, warmer rooms, a full house. The happy news? A few easy steps keep everyone rested and let you soak up the season. You don’t have to trade one for the other.

We’ve been helping families sleep better since 2005 — folks right down the road and folks all the way across the country. Here’s the useful version of what actually helps.

Summer Sleep, the Easy Way

A few small things make a big difference this time of year, and most are free:

• Keep one steady anchor. Summer schedules are going to wander, and that’s fine — it’s vacation. Just hold one thing steady, like a consistent wake-up time. That single anchor keeps everyone’s rhythm happy even when the rest is loose.
• Set the room up to be cool. Close the shades during the hottest part of the day so the bedroom’s pleasant by night, and let a fan keep the air moving. Moving air helps your body settle in.
• Let the bed work with the season. Here’s a handy thing to know: a “cooling” cover feels great the moment you lie down, then warms up to you after a few minutes. What keeps you comfortable the rest of the night is air moving through the mattress. Older foam holds warmth in; a bed built with coils breathes more freely. If you’ve been waking up warm, that’s usually why.

When a Great Night Starts With a Great Mattress

Do all that and most summer sleep sorts itself out. But sometimes the bed itself is ready for an upgrade — and summer, with everyone together and tuned in to how they’re feeling, is a perfectly good time for it.

A few signs it might be time: you sleep great at a hotel and feel the difference the second you’re home, your mattress has earned its retirement after years of service, or you simply want to wake up feeling better. That’s reason enough.

The best part — better sleep is more within reach than most people think. Name-brand mattresses at a fraction of the usual cost is the whole idea around here.

The Nice Thing About Asking a Real Person

Every website hands every visitor the same generic answer. We do it differently — because the right mattress for a warm sleeper isn’t the right one for someone who sleeps cold. Tell us how you sleep and what you’re hoping for, and we’ll point you to the one that genuinely fits. No pressure, just a straight, friendly answer.

And you can reach us however you like:

• Shopping from home, anywhere in the country? Start with our free Mattress Finder — five quick questions, no email required — and we’ll match you from our real lineup: Helix, Beautyrest Black, Serta iComfort, Puffy, and Harvest Green.
• Near our Lombard, Illinois showroom? Even better — come lie down on a few and say hello.

Either way, every mattress comes with our 60-day comfort guarantee — 60 nights in your own home to fall in love with it.

Here’s to your family’s best-rested summer yet.
