We spend about one-third of our lives on one – so when it comes to your mattress, it’s worth taking time to evaluate if you’re sleeping at your best.

“The biggest indicator that it’s time for a new mattress is discomfort,” said Clint Richards, mattress manager at Montgomery’s in Sioux Falls. “You’re getting achy. You’re making excuses like you were working outdoors or you’re getting older, but really it might be that the mattress is starting to wear.”

Once your mattress hits the 10-year mark, “it’s likely time to start considering a new one because you may not know what you’re missing,” Richards said.

At South Dakota’s four Montgomery’s locations, including Sioux Falls, you’ll find an expert Mattress 1st team ready to help you find the fit that’s right for you.

We sat down with Richards to learn the top five reasons it might be time for an upgrade.

It’s going to be a guided experience – with tech involved

You won’t wander around alone trying to figure out an ideal mattress at Montgomery’s.

“You’ll work with a trained expert who will assess your needs with some good questions but also use technology to help narrow down where to begin,” Richards said.

Montgomery’s customers begin their experience by lying on a bed specifically designed to test body pressure points.  Whether you sleep on your back, side or stomach, this technology will diagnose the best firmness to support your body.

“Maybe you think a plush pillow top is comfortable, but this bed may show us that you need a firm mattress to properly support your body for quality sleep,” Richards said.

“Once we know what firmness level is best for you, we can take you directly to a mattress with the correct support and within your budget. No more lying on bed after bed trying to find the ‘right’ one.  It’s a simple and extremely effective process!”    

There are new models to consider – and they’re not as pricey

If it’s been awhile since you’ve gone mattress shopping, you’ll find technology and comfort have evolved in the past decade.

“We may have ways to help you be cooler when you sleep because there’s better temperature management technology, or pressure relief because we’re able to offer better support,” Richards said.

“The price points on a lot of these mattresses have come down in 10 years. Maybe you thought about an adjustable frame before and it was out of reach. Those nicer-feeling beds have come down in price point, which often surprises people.”

Montgomery’s also has an enhanced selection of sheets, pillows and mattresses protectors, “so we can help you with the whole package,” Richards said.

“We have everything from cooling pillows to scented pillows, sheets that fit the beds very well, made with breathable, natural materials, so that’s a really good way to complete your sleeping experience.”

There can be big health benefits

Along with a higher-quality mattress comes a better night’s sleep. And with better sleep generally comes better health.

“We see a lot of help with back issues by getting the right pressure relief, but also just by minimizing your tossing and turning, we’re helping you to sleep longer without disruption,” Richards said.

“When we keep you from switching between sleep cycles as much, you sleep more soundly.”

Having an adjustable base also helps elevate your head and address respiratory issues, along with raising your feet to improve blood flow and take pressure off your lower back.

“For some people, it can be a real game-changer, and we’ll work with you to determine what fits your needs,” Richards said.

You’ll stay within your budget

One big misconception about mattress shopping at Montgomery’s is that it’s only for high-end products.

“We actually offer very reputable national brands at competitive prices,” Richards said. “You’re going to find a curated selection of brands that we trust because we’ve worked with them a long time, but we generally can meet most budgets based on the variety that we have available.”

Plus right now, “there are some amazing offers on clearance mattresses at high-end discounts,” he added. “You’ll save a significant percentage off the original price, so we encourage you to stop in soon.”

You’re not stuck if you make the wrong call

There can be some pressure in picking something you’ll sleep on every day! So Montgomery’s offers a Sleep Promise guarantee for qualifying purchases.

“We have the ability for those customers to do a one-time exchange if we didn’t get it quite right or you need something a little firmer or softer,” Richards said. “It gives that reassurance that you’re not stuck if you don’t like your first choice.”

For Montgomery’s, it’s all about building lasting relationships, he said.

“We’re a multigenerational company, and we want to be here for you and your kids, and we may have sold to your parents,” Richards said. “We’re in it for the long haul, and we’re making that commitment that we’ll be here to serve you.”
