We’ve all been there. You wake up in the morning, swing your legs out of bed, and instead of feeling refreshed, you’re greeted by a sharp sting in your lower back or a stiff neck that just won’t crack. You grab your coffee, stretch a little, and try to ignore it. But here is the hard truth: How you sleep at night sets the stage for how you function during the day.
At Mattress Gallery Direct, we believe that a restful night isn’t just a luxury—it’s the absolute foundation for a productive life. But don’t just take our word for it. We sat down with Dr. Houston of Royal Oaks Chiropractic to discuss why he has been sending his patients to us for nearly two decades.
If you are dealing with chronic neck, shoulder, hip, or back issues, you might need to look at what you’re sleeping on. Here is why the right mattress matters more than you think. 👇
Why Your Old Mattress Might Be the Enemy 📉
Dr. Houston has been in practice in Franklin for over 20 years. In that time, he has seen thousands of patients. One pattern he notices repeatedly is that many people come in with problems that stem directly from their sleep environment.
“Their mattresses get old. They get worn down,” Dr. Houston explains.
When a mattress wears out, it stops doing the one job it’s supposed to do: supporting your spine. Think about it for a second. You spend roughly one-third of your life in bed. If your bed is sagging or too firm, your spine falls out of alignment. That misalignment doesn’t just vanish when you stand up; it follows you to work, to the gym, and to your daily activities.
Common signs your mattress is the culprit include:
- Neck and Shoulder Pain: Waking up with a “crick” in your neck.
- Hip Discomfort: Feeling soreness right at the hip joint.
- Lower Back Ache: General stiffness in the lumbar region first thing in the morning.
It’s Not Just About “Soft” or “Firm”—It’s About Fit 🎯
One of the biggest mistakes people make is walking into a store and buying a mattress just because it feels soft in the showroom. But Dr. Houston points out that finding the right bed is a medical decision, not just a shopping trip.
“They really understand about resting well. They understand about the spine and support for the pelvis and the hips.” “They educated me!” Dr. Houston says about the team at Mattress Gallery Direct.
The key is fit. Just like a pair of running shoes needs to fit your specific gait, a mattress needs to fit your specific body type and pressure points.
- Side Sleepers: Often need extra cushioning at the shoulder and hip to keep the spine straight.
- Back Sleepers: usually require a balance of support for the lower back and comfort for the upper body.
- Stomach Sleepers: typically need a firmer surface to prevent the hips from sinking too deep.
The “Royal Oaks” Seal of Approval 🏆
So, why does a chiropractor with over two decades of experience recommend Mattress Gallery Direct? It comes down to the process.
Dr. Houston mentioned that his personal experience 18 years ago was defined by one thing: Time.
“They took much more time than I expected. They educated me, took their time, showing me lots of models, and were trying to really give me the best fit for myself.”
In a world of pushy salespeople and “get in, get out” transactions, we take a different approach. We don’t just sell you some foam with springs and a boxspring; we educate you. We want to know about your hip pain or back pain. We want to know if your shoulder or hips bother you when you sleep on your back vs your side. We analyze your needs so that when you get home, you are actually “outfitted” for the right mattress.
Since Dr. Houston started referring patients to us, the feedback has been unanimous. His patients report being “spoiled” by the level of patience and care they receive. They appreciate that we take the extra time to get the pricing right and the fit perfect.
