A perfect example of one of the many great Albany businesses can be found with Metro Mattress. They have been in business in the Upstate New York region for over 35 years and in that time they’ve become the area’s leading “Sleep Superstore.”  While Metro Mattress could simply rest on its laurels, it does more than just sell mattresses; the company gives back to the community. For the past two years, Metro Mattress has sponsored the “50 Beds in 50 Days” program. Since the inception of this mattress giveaway, Metro Mattress has donated over 400 beds to help folks and social service centers provide comfort for a good night’s rest. This year 21 charitable organizations in Albany and the Mohawk Valley will be on the receiving end of brand new mattresses for its clients.

All of this begs the question: What are you sleeping on? If you find yourself in the fortunate position to go mattress shopping it’s a safe bet you haven’t been to a mattress store in over five years. That’s the average life of a mattress. If you’re sleeping on a mattress that is older than five years it is definitely time to be thinking about getting a replacement. Shopping for a new mattress is going to require you to feel silly for a few moments. That would be when you stretch out in a showroom, fully clothed, on a mattress to see if it’s going to be a good fit. For all practical purposes, this is the wrong way to see if a mattress is going to be comfortable. First of all, you’re not going to get an actually feel for the mattress bundled up in your wintery sweaters and coats. That’s not to say you should go shopping for a mattress in your pajamas! But keep in mind that no mattress is going to feel the way it does in your home as it does in the showroom. That’s why you need to take a good look at the mattress store return policy.

Most mattress manufacturers will tell you it takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks for you to really “settle” in to your new mattress. This might mean a few initial uncomfortable nights while your body adjusts to the new sensations it is sleeping under. However, if several weeks go by and you still can’t get comfortable, it might be worth swapping out that mattress. You should have a return policy that allows for that provided that the mattress hasn’t been damaged in anyway. Hopefully, you will make the right choice with your first choice.

Another consideration has to be what to do with your five year old mattress? To properly dispose of that relic, you can call upon the services of a group of professional junk haulers near Albany like Junk King Capital District. The benefit of taking this course of action is that those same junk hauling pros can also cart off all the other items in your home that you want to get rid of. It’s the perfect way to start off the New Year: on a new mattress in a clutter free home
