The days are getting longer since it’s summertime, and with all the excitement surrounding vacation time and the break in your kids’ routines it can sometimes be hard to get a good night’s sleep.

On top of all that, maybe your son or daughter is preparing to move out of his/her old bedroom as he starts college, or you’re starting on that guest room overhaul you’ve been planning forever. Either way, now’s as good a time as any to shop for a new mattress to ensure you have sweet dreams and the rest you need to wake up refreshed and ready for the day.

In fact, a worn-out or unsuitable mattress can be detrimental to your health, since poor sleep can affect your memory, concentration at work, mood, or even increase the risk for heart disease, according to studies from Harvard Health Publications. And did you know that one in five Americans already sleep less than six hours a day?

Goedeker’s History

Started as Goedeker Radio and Television Repair in June 1951 in his basement, founder Ben Goedeker focused on providing the best possible service at the lowest price to his friends and neighbors. In 1953 Goedeker’s expanded into sales, first with electronics then appliances. Our first location was a 1,200 sqft showroom located in south St. Louis. This location proved sufficient until 1970 when Goedeker’s expanded into a 3500 sq ft location also located in South St. Louis.

Ben Goedeker believed that customer service was more than just being polite, it was carrying a large selection of quality name brand appliances and electronics at the lowest possible price. Ben also realized to be successful he must have a knowledgeable sales staff to help educate his customers to make the best purchase possible. Ben’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 50.

Steve Goedeker, Ben’s eldest son took over the business at this time. Goedeker’s quickly became a household name in St. Louis and in 1989 Steve Goedeker expanded the business to a 22,000 sqft location. In 1990, two of Steve’s siblings, Mike and Janet, joined Steve at Goedeker’s. Mike was brought in to manage the sales department and Janet to run the accounting department. In St. Louis, Goedeker’s is the place to go for new appliances or TV’s. With Goedeker’s vast selection, knowledgeable sales staff, unbeatable low prices and excellent customer service it grew to become the largest privately owned appliance and electronic dealer in Missouri.

Goedeker’s was growing so fast it needed another St. Louis location. In 1998 Steve opened a new headquarters. Located in the St. Louis West County suburb of Ballwin, Goedeker’s opened its 50,000 sqft megastore and added furniture and mattresses at this time. Shortly thereafter we added on to this location with a distribution center.

In 2008 Steve decided to add the same great level of customer service, vast selection of products and excellent pricing to the internet. In July of 2008, Number1Direct was created and already we have thousands upon thousands of satisfied nationwide customers. Number1direct by Goedeker’s has the same principles and values brought into the business by Ben almost 60 years ago. We strive to offer our online customers the best selection with the guaranteed lowest price available.

Number1Direct carries a wide selection of Simmons Mattresses including the Innerspring Mattress.

Innerspring mattresses feature a core of wire coils to provide support, while remaining buoyant and resilient. Around the border of the mattress, a wire supports the coils and helps maintain the shape of the mattress. Padding or some type of insulator rests on top of the coils, which is then topped with the upholstery of the mattress. Depending on the type of top layers manufacturers use, the innerspring mattress can be ultra soft or less so.

Most mattresses that have heavier gauge (thicker wire) coils would offer a greater deal of support than lighter gauge coils.

Low coil counts and heavy gauge wires can seem firm in the store, but it is likely that such a mattress will not hold up long because it simply does not have enough coils.

Many premium mattresses feature 14-gauge (1.63 mm) coils. The lower the number, the larger the diameter of the spring. With coils in the  up to 15.5 gauge range, it is important that the total coil count be high the coils would otherwise give easily under pressure. A 12.5 gauge innerspring coil, the thickest typically available, may feel rock hard in a double mattress even with a coil count of 400 or less.

Types of Coils

• Open Coil: This hourglass-shaped wire coil is joined to adjacent coils by small wire spirals called helicals. The open coil design provides good initial support but these coils fatigue more quickly than more technically advanced coil constructions.
• Offset Coil: An offset coil is slightly more cylindrical in shape than an open coil, which may make it more durable. It is also laced to its neighbors by helicals. These are usually the most expensive coils.
• Pocket Coil: A pocket or independent coil is a cylindrical spring wrapped in its own fabric pocket. This construction is designed to give the most contour of any support system. Each coil works independently which means that you will feel your partner move much less. This type of coil is a good choice for people who toss and turn and for their bed partners because the motion separation may prevent waking from a deep sleep which is very important for well being. Simmons uses this type of coil.
• Continuous Coil: The continuous coil is exactly what it says – each row of coils is made of a single wire attached to the next row by helicals. This design allows each coil to deflect weight to a great number of springs resulting in less stress on each coil.

Simmons has been helping people sleep better for over 135 years. By constantly enhancing the quality of their mattresses, Simmons is also helping to improve the quality of people’s lives.

Some factors contributing to Americans’ lack of energy are issues with sleep. The National Sleep Foundation reports, “63 percent of people surveyed do not get enough hours of sleep.”

We all want a good night sleep, but a lot of us do not get to indulge in this luxury. With all of the chaotic hustle and bustle of everyday life it can be hard to get a good night sleep. However, relaxing sleep is an important part of life, so take some time to pleasure yourself with some simple happiness and create the best sleep experience you can have.

Here are a few guilt-free treats you can comfort yourself with at the end of a long day to create a bedroom retreat just for you:

• Make your bedroom a cool and dark place. – Keeping the temperature between 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit to be able to sleep cozy under a blanket, and hanging draperies over you windows can help with this solution.
• Create some ambient noise. – Having a fan, air conditioner, or sound machine can help create a soothing environment so you don’t hear every noise in your home.
• Choose the best bed for you. – A good night’s sleep can depend on the mattress you buy, so taking advantage of  all the higher quality bedding available could be the key to your rest.
• Allergies can cause troublesome sleep. – Purchasing a mattress and pillows with allergen free features can help if you suffer from allergies. Also having an air purifier may lessen the allergens in the air and give you a more restful sleep.
• Clearing your mind is essential. – By keeping your TV, computer, or work-related items out of your bedroom you can have a clutter-free space which creates a peaceful and relaxing environment. Also hiding the alarm clock from view so you don’t stare at it all night can give you a better sleep. It will wake you up when you need to be woken up.
• Keeping a sleeping schedule. – Just like when we were all infants and had sleeping schedules, we need them as adults too. Just going to sleep at the same time during the week and weekends can make you feel better. We don’t always abide by this during weekends, but getting a nap during the weekend can help. Give yourself time to wind down from the day. Getting your body going and excited before bedtime will not help you go to sleep.  Sometimes taking a hot bath or shower, cuddling under your covers and reading a book, or dimming the lights can make you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy a nice night’s slumber.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine before bedtime. – Staying away from alcohol and caffeine for three or more hours before you go to sleep helps to get and stay asleep.
• Have a snack to fill your stomach. – We have all been taught that it isn’t good to eat before going to bed, but if your stomach is empty it might help you sleep to eat a light snack like a piece of fruit or small bowl of cereal.
