Remember when you were a kid at camp and your feet dangled off the cot you had to sleep in?
Okay, maybe you never went to camp…
But if you had, you would have slept uncomfortably with your feet hanging helplessly off the end of it. At Land of Sleep in downtown Sarasota, that's not going to happen anymore. We understand the importance of sleep (especially because we do a lot of it ourselves), which means we understand the importance of finding the right mattress for you.

Here's what you need to consider before buying:
The Choices You Have
Mattresses come in all different sizes:
Twin - 38" x 74"
Twin Extra Long - 38" x 80"
Full - 54" x 74"
Queen - 60" x 80"
King - 76" x 80"
California King - 72" x 84"
Who They Are For
There is no hard and fast rule as to what kind of bed you should have. While most couples opt for a Queen or King, that doesn't mean you can't sleep in one if you are sleeping alone. But for the most part, here's how these different sizes play out for different people:
Twin - Great for small spaces, like college dorms.
Twin Extra Long - Perfect for small spaces for taller people.
Full - Typically a single sleeper bed for people under 5' 5".
Queen - The answer for couples or single people who like to have more room when they sleep.
King - This is the ideal bed size for couples who may want a little extra space to themselves for a restful night's sleep.
California King - This mattress size will allow for the maximum sleeping space for single sleepers and couples.
What To Look For
Buying a mattress that is too small can make for an uncomfortable sleep. More than this, buying one that doesn't meet your needs won't help you, either. Consider these points before buying:
1) Do you have body parts that are painful after a night's sleep?
2) Do you wake up hurting?
3) Do you sleep more on your side, back, or tummy?
4) Have you tried a few different kinds of mattresses to see if firm, medium, or soft is best for you?
These are all factors to take into consideration before buying. Come chat with us. We love to talk. And sleep. But mostly, we love to talk about sleep and how we can get you closer to your most restful night's sleep.
