3. Hard vs. Soft... Which is Best for ME?
   • The General Rule of Thumb is :
     • "Back Sleepers" Prefer a Hard / Firm Mattress
     • "Side or Stomach Sleepers" Prefer Soft / Medium Mattresses
   • People Who Sleep Flat on Their Backs Have No Pressure Points
   • Side / Stomach Sleepers Do!!!
     • Shoulders, Hips, Elbows, Ankles, Wrists and Knees are All Pressure Points Which Need Padding to Relieve the Pressure.
     • Withought Relieved Pressure You Will Cut Off Circulation and Wake up With: Numbness, Tingling and / or Burning Sensations.
   
   
   
4. Should I Replace My Entire Set? Or Should I Just Replace My Mattress?
   • For Maximum Longevity and Best Performance, Bedding Should be Replaced in Sets.

     • More Elasticity
     • Greater Longevity & Unsurpassed Durability

7. My Stairway and Halls in My House are Narrow, Will Delivering a "King Size" Set be a Problem?
   • Not Usually a Problem.
   • King Size Mattresses are "Hinged"* on the Sides to Allow the Mattress to Bend to Some Degree.
   • King Size Boxsprings are 6" Longer Than Standard Twin Size Boxes, But Not Any Wider (Sometimes King Sets are Easier to Deliver Than Queen Sets, Believe it or Not!).

   • *** Every Manufacturer Produces Split Boxsprings.
