All About Bedgear Mattresses

Shopping for a new mattress can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed. Even here at Ashley, we stock a wide range of great brands that each offer unique benefits. If you’re looking for a mattress that helps you stay cool during the hottest and most humid nights of the summer, you may have found the perfect fit. A Bedgear mattress is a great choice for anyone looking for temperature regulation paired with both durability and unparalleled comfort. Find out what makes these mattresses so unique, and you’ll soon understand why we carry them at Ashley.

A Little History From Bedgear

Bedgear got started years ago when the CEO’s son was told to start using hypoallergenic mattresses and sleep accessories to reduce allergy symptoms. The family soon discovered that even the best hypoallergenic materials were quite stuffy and tended to cause overheating, which led to interrupted sleep. The CEO had breathable and comfortable lacrosse shorts and decided to try making Bedgear bedding from the same material to introduce better breathability into his son’s nighttime routine. This inspiration led to the development of a completely modular bed system based on breathability while also maintaining the hypoallergenic environment needed by many.

How Long Do Bedgear Mattresses Last?

Mattresses from Bedgear are designed to last. The brand offers a 10-year limited warranty from the date of delivery if you purchase the Bedgear mattress protector at the same time. For other mattresses, the company offers a 365-night guarantee that covers your bed for 3 to 10 years. Even pet beds and pillows made by this company come with a limited warranty. The unique design of most mattresses from Bedgear also means there’s no need to throw away the whole thing if a part of it wears out. You can open the mattress up to swap out the coil-based support system or the thick layer of upper padding as needed. This can help you get a lot more life out of the same mattress, which makes a huge difference if you’re in an upper-floor apartment where it’s not so easy to bring in or remove a whole mattress.

What Features Does a Bedgear Mattress Include?

Most Bedgear mattresses are based around both modular design and premium ventilation. That means you’ll stay cooler while sleeping all year round. Hot summer nights won’t cause you to toss and turn, while winter heating won’t lead to feeling overly warm either. Some of the mattresses also offer advanced customization options during the ordering process. For example, the M3 Performance Mattress is a dual-sided modular design that offers four comfort options for each side of the bed. The S Performance Mattress is the best choice if staying cool is your primary goal and is available in three comfort options.

Are Bedgear Mattresses Hypoallergenic?

Many allergy sufferers consider their Bedgear mattress the best choice as a hypoallergenic sleep solution. First, most of the mattresses are built with materials designed to minimize trapped dust. The mattresses also open up so you can vacuum and clean them in a way that you can’t with other models. Second, using the cotton Bedgear mattress cover ensures a hypoallergenic sleep environment without the usual hot and sweaty mess it creates. Even the hypoallergenic pillows, comforters, and complete Bedgear sheet sets are designed with cooling in mind. You won’t need to worry about sneezing or congestion interrupting your sleep with this brand’s mattresses.

Do Bedgear Mattresses Need a Boxspring?

Most Bedgear mattresses are built to go directly on a bed platform or frame. They also work well with adjustable bases to give you more control over the firmness and tilt of the bed. You do not need a boxspring with these mattresses, but it won’t necessarily harm them either if you want to pair the two together. Using a boxspring under the mattress can help support it properly if you have a very limited bed frame that wouldn’t otherwise offer enough support. If possible, buying a matching base from the brand is the best option to give you optimal comfort from your new Bedgear mattress.

Must-Have Bedgear Sleeping Accessories

Completing your new sleeping experience calls for matching Bedgear pillows and other great sleeping accessories. Start with mattress covers from the brand that are designed with hypoallergenic needs in mind. These covers not only prevent dust and mite issues, but they also help reduce wear on the mattress so it lasts longer. Don’t forget pillows designed with a cooling vent so you don’t have to flip them constantly for a refreshing sleep experience. The brand even has a line of cooling sheets, comforters, and other bed accessories to maximize your comfort level at night.

How to Properly Care for Your Bedgear Mattress

Vacuum the surface of the mattress regularly to keep dirt and dander from working their way into the material. If you choose a Bedgear model that can be opened, vacuum inside as well at least once every six months. Rotating the mattress once every six months to a year is a good idea, but don’t flip it. Today’s modern mattresses, such as the Bedgear modular design, don’t benefit from flipping. Choose a ventilated bed base that offers plenty of air circulation to the underside of the mattress. Not only will it prevent mold that shortens the lifespan of the mattress, but it also enhances the cooling effect of the Bedgear design.

These mattresses from Ashley are likely a good fit for you if you’re concerned primarily with overheating at night and dealing with allergy symptoms. Consider adjustable beds and power bases to pair with this type of modular mattress to make the most of the supportive surface. With care, a Bedgear mattress can last 10 years or longer before you’ll need to consider replacing it. That’s well worth the investment, especially considering that these mattresses are designed to hypoallergenic standards. If the Bedgear brand doesn’t include what you need, you’ll find plenty of other great options here at Ashley.

Compare Tempur-Pedic Mattresses

You’re likely familiar with Tempur-Pedic mattresses, but what makes them stand out — and stand apart — from other mattresses? Their more-than-memory foam surfaces will have you feeling like you’re sleeping on a cloud, for one. But there are also distinct design features that reduce pressure on your body, combined with top-of-the-line technology to keep you cool while you’re off to dreamland.

Why Choose Tempur-Pedic?

Ready for a great night’s sleep? Upgrade to the mattress of your dreams with a Tempur-Pedic. Each mattress is created with TEMPUR® material, a foam that reacts to your body heat to minimize all your body’s pressure points and helps reduce motion transfer from your partner.

Ashley carries several different models of Tempur-Pedic mattresses. It may feel overwhelming to decide between all the options, but we’re here to help with our Tempur-Pedic mattress comparison.

Tempur-Pedic Features

Choosing a mattress that caters to all your needs is an important step toward getting restorative sleep. As you take the time to compare Tempur-Pedic mattresses, you can rest easy knowing you’re choosing a mattress that delivers sound sleep by providing many health benefits. Ashley’s Tempur-Pedic mattress guide breaks each feature down, including:

Pain Relief

Tempur-Pedic’s Comfort layer of foam contours to your body to provide relief at all your pressure points. Made with that TEMPUR® material, the Comfort layer is both comfortable and supportive, making waking up pain-free a reality.

Proper Spinal Alignment

After a long day of sitting at a desk or driving, you want to make sure you’re taking care of your body, even when asleep. Tempur-Pedic’s unique foam is much more than your everyday memory foam. It cradles you on an even plane from head to toe.

Allergy Relief

Enjoy deep sleep without being bothered by pesky allergies. Inorganic fibers make up the foam, which prevents dust mites and other allergens from accumulating. Allergy sufferers can both go to sleep and wake up feeling better — which is nothing to sneeze at!

Tempur-Pedic Series

When comparing the many Tempur-Pedic mattress models, narrow your choices down by considering how you sleep and what you expect from a mattress. This Tempur-Pedic mattress guide explores five different models, each with a unique feel.

TEMPUR-ProBreeze

Tempur-Pedic Breeze mattresses have multiple layers of premium material and technology that provide unparalleled comfort and temperature control.

The TEMPUR-ProBreeze keeps you cool throughout the night. Available in twin XL, queen, king, California king, and split California king sizes, this mattress’s 12″ profile includes the powerful SmartClimate® Cover. This cool-to-the-touch cover works via heat-absorbing fibers that draw heat away from the body for cooling comfort. A Heat-Diffusing layer made of Pure Cool® material is specially designed by Tempur-Pedic to keep you at your perfect sleep temperature all night long. The Ventilated Advanced Relief™ tops it off by absorbing excess body heat.

TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze

Do you prefer a soft or a firm mattress? The TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze mattress caters to your preference in all the same sizes as the ProBreeze. This model upgrades your nighttime comfort by keeping you cool by an extra 10 degrees. The TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze mattress introduces the Ventilated Advanced Relief™ Material, a one-of-kind pressure-relieving material from Tempur-Pedic, which adds extra ventilation and airflow so your mattress will always be and feel cool-to-the-touch.

TEMPUR-Adapt

Don’t let the slim 11″ profile of this model fool you: The TEMPUR-Adapt mattress has the technology that started it all, enhanced for today. The TEMPUR-Adapt mattress comes in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king sizes, and has a medium-firm comfort level. Whether you tend to toss and turn throughout the night or sleep like a log, this model keeps up with you by adapting to your individual weight, temperature, and body shape.

TEMPUR-Pro Adapt

If whole-body support and exceptional pressure relief are the most important factors in your next mattress, consider the TEMPUR-Pro Adapt. Available in soft, medium, medium hybrid, and firm comfort styles, you’re sure to find the mattress that fits your preferences the best. With a 12″ profile, the TEMPUR-Pro Adapt includes the SmartClimate dual cover system. This is the industry’s first fully removable, machine-washable cooling cover, made with an inner high-stretch performance panel for continuous innovation and comfort.

TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt

The TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt contains the Tempur-Pedic mattress technology that started it all. With its luxury cool-to-touch feel, multiple layers of premium TEMPUR® technology, and TEMPUR-APR+ Material, you’ll experience ultra-conforming comfort like never before.

This mattress relaxes while you sleep to keep you comfortable and supported while you rest at the end of a long day.

With your pick from our Tempur-Pedic mattress comparison and all the cozy bedding you’ll find at Ashley HomeStore, your dream of a cloud-like sleep is sure to come true.

How Does TEMPUR-Material Work?

This technology is not too good to be true! TEMPUR-Material isn’t the same as your standard memory foam mattress. The unique structure of Tempur-Pedic’s exclusive foam adapts to your body’s weight, form, and structure perfectly. It also keeps you cool throughout the night. This is crucial, as body heat can cause traditional memory foam to soften, losing that perfect shape each time you lay down. You also won’t feel like you’re sinking — or even stuck in — your mattress, unlike with some types of memory foam.

TEMPUR-Material has been refined over decades. In fact, don’t just take our word for it: Take it from the scientists at NASA. TEMPUR-Material began as a way to cushion astronauts from the G-force as they made their way into space. Science, backed by years of satisfied customers, means we all benefit from this innovation with a better night’s sleep!

Sleep Problems? Meet Sleep Solutions

Your best night of sleep ever begins with selecting your perfect Tempur-Pedic mattress, but it doesn’t stop there. You’ll want to design the bed of your dreams. Ashley has you covered in choosing a base, bed pillows, and quilts and coverlets, straight from our wide selection.

Sold on the innovation of Tempur-Pedic? We can help you there too! Ashley carries several Tempur-Pedic accessories and necessities, including bed foundations, mattress protectors, and pillows made with the trusted cloud cooling and advanced cooling technology. Consider a TEMPUR adjustable base to complete your setup.

When you purchase a Tempur-Pedic mattress from Ashley, you are covered under a 10-year limited warranty.

Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or address issues with pain, allergies, or temperature that may be keeping you from achieving better sleep, the solution is Tempur-Pedic mattresses from Ashley.

Dining Rooms Have Many Roles To Play

We know that your dining room is the ultimate multitasker. It serves a multitude of purposes for you, your family, and your friends. From eating a quick bite to a five-course sit-down meal in celebration of a special event, dining tables are gathering places that bring people together. These surfaces are perfect for laying out a work or school project from one end to the other. Puzzles beg to be put together here. And let’s not forget about the chairs.

Important Points To Consider Before Mixing and Matching Dining Furniture

We know that everyone is different, and there are varying perspectives on how to decorate one’s home, including the dining area. With that individuality in mind, here are some of the finer points to take into account as you’re shopping for your next dining table and chairs.

  • Measure twice to ensure the table and chairs you select will fit into the desired space in your home and allow everyone to pull back from the table and sit comfortably. Ask us for help or a second opinion if you need it! That’s what we’re here for.
  • Make sure the chairs you choose will fit well when pushed into the table. Unfortunately, some of our chairs may not easily fit side-by-side under smaller tables. Let us help you find suitable options so you can dine in style.
  • Look for uncomplicated, simple, modern styles or maximalist and detailed pieces, depending on your preferences, so the new furniture integrates with your current decor.
  • Keep current trends and social media posts in mind as you shop if staying on trend is desired. Ashley’s up-to-date website makes it easy to know what you’re looking for and match the latest internet trends with our inventory before you even enter the store.
  • Search for the many high-quality items that we carry and will stand the test of time while still adhering to your desired budget.

Find Inspiration in Mix-and-Match Dining Furniture Guidance From Ashley

When you choose to color outside the lines and opt for mix-and-match dining furniture, you have a lot of fun choices to consider. Let us help you make the right ones with this helpful information.

  • Color and Detail: The colors and details of your new furniture are highly personal. Find pieces you will enjoy looking at every day and that bring a smile to your face. Focus on small elements, such as the precise nailhead trim on the Valebeck Ladderback Dining Chairs with upholstered linen-colored cushioned seats. Pair these comfortable chairs with the Parellen Dining Table. It has a unique melanin table top that mimics a barn wood effect along with tapered legs in a gray finish. You can also mix and match the table stain with a different colored set of chairs for a high contrast or a subtle nuance. Take note of your dining room’s current colorways to bring in more differentiation or coordination among the pieces.
  • Materials: The sky’s the limit with material selections. Look for a heavy wooden table, such as the Isanti Dining Table, made of mango wood in a light brown finish, paired with Lyncott Upholstered Dining Chairs, made of solid hardwood in a medium-brown wood tone finish with a soft cushioned blue or mustard colored fabric for incongruent compatibility. When you go in a different direction with bright fabric chairs that meld perfectly with a traditional wooden table, you get to decorate with multi-dimensional panache.
  • Textures: The grain, fissures, mineral deposits, and veining on a one-of-a-kind table, such as the sleek Isanti Round Dining Table, made of solid mango wood in a natural light brown finish and a white marble top, is an Ashley exclusive not to be missed. It has a thick pedestal and pairs nicely with the different textures of the sturdy solid wood Isanti Dining Chairs with rattan seats and a matte black finish that adds visual interest with clean lines.
  • Fit: Finally, do the pieces fit well together? Mix and match the Havalance Rectangular Dining Table, which consists of a vintage base of detailed legs and a weathered gray table top, with sophisticated Skempton Ladderback Dining Chairs adorned with upholstered seats in a distressed grayish-white finish. Come into our store to move things around or create an inspiration board online until you achieve your vision. Our team will help you pull it all together and then ensure everyone will be able to sit comfortably once the pieces are paired with each other.

Spring Planting and Gardening Ideas

Adding plants to your home is an excellent way to liven up your space for spring. Creating a beautiful spring garden or decorating with indoor plants can initially seem intimidating. You might be wondering what plants to get and how to incorporate them.

Keep reading to discover everything you need for decorating with spring plants.

The Best Plants for Spring

Selecting plants that bloom during this season is a must for decorating with spring plants. A thriving garden will be easier to care for while making your home feel lush and verdant.

Below are some plants that do well in spring and beyond.

Azalea

Azaleas are ideal for adding a pop of color to any outdoor space. They produce highly saturated flowers that will look full all spring long. You can find azaleas in various colors, from pink and purple to yellow and orange. These shrubs also vary in size. Some can get as tall as 20 feet, while smaller azaleas grow between 2 and 6 feet.

Tulips

These elegant flowers bloom between March and May. Ultimately, their bloom season and life span depend on the temperature. Tulips can last one to two weeks in cooler weather and bloom in late spring.

Rose Bushes

This timeless shrub typically blooms in the later part of spring. For that reason, rose bushes are wonderful transition plants when summer arrives. However, if you’re looking for a low-key garden, roses may not be for you. These plants require more upkeep than your average plant to remain healthy during the cold seasons.

Pansies

If you’re looking for an unstoppable color for your spring garden, pansies are a must. Although they require a lot of sunlight, they can still thrive in cold weather, so a little snow in the spring won’t hurt them.

Dogwood

The dogwood shrub features stunning, large white flowers that blossom in April and May. Plant them in your front or backyard to add a clean, contemporary look to your home for the spring. Help dogwood plants thrive by keeping them in shady areas and moist, well-draining soil.

Magnolia

Magnolia blossoms have become a symbol of spring. Their soft pink petals and teacup-shaped structure will grab anyone’s attention. The time they bloom depends on the variety you get, with some popping as early as March. Add this tree to your garden for beautiful flowers year after year.

Indoor and Outdoor Spring Plants

There is no right or wrong way to enhance your home with plants. But that can make choosing the right ones hard. The best place to start is by deciding if you want indoor or outdoor plants.

Outdoor Plants

Give your curb appeal an instant upgrade by adding spring plants. Even a small spring garden will add sophistication, style, and warmth to outside spaces. Still trying to decide what to plant? Here are some ideas to get you started.

Plant Flowering Shrubs

There are many springtime options when it comes to shrubs. Azaleas, rhododendrons, and hydrangea are some seasonal favorites.

Add a Seasonal Flower Garden

Tailoring your garden to match the season is a fun way to switch things. Install a range of annual spring flowers to enjoy heady scents and vibrant colors. Pansies, gladiolas, and tulips are all good options since they handle cold weather well.

Plant a Vegetable Garden

Early spring is the best time to start growing vegetables. Here are a few that are in full bloom:

  • Onions
  • Carrots
  • Spinach
  • Mushrooms
  • Peas

Plant Fruits

Don’t limit yourself to vegetables. Spring is the ideal season for fruits too. Here are some that are perfect during this time:

  • Strawberries
  • Cherries
  • Plums
  • Blueberries
  • Apricots

Indoor Plants

Plants aren’t strictly for outdoor areas. They can uplift your indoor spaces as well. Add them to any room in your house for a calm and chic atmosphere. Even though you can’t have all the same plants that you would have outside, there are still a lot of great options like:

  • Orchids: These sophisticated flowers add minimal elegance to any space.
  • Lilies: Peace lilies and Calla lilies are both ideal for springtime décor.
  • Gardenia: Fill your home with the sweet smell of spring with gardenias.
  • Snake Plant: The snake plant is easy to care for and has a striking appearance.
  • Aloe Vera Plant: A low-maintenance plant with a sculptural structure.

Don’t feel like you must commit to one or the other. Having some greenery inside and outside will give your home an inviting appeal, inside and out.

How to Decorate With Plants in Spring

Decorating with plants is a great opportunity to be creative. Think beyond the basic planter pot or outdoor garden. Here are some unique ideas that will set your home apart this spring.

Ideas for Decorating With Indoor Plants

Get a Plant Shelf

Make your indoor garden the focal point with a plant shelf. A cascading one will add a waterfall effect to leafy hanging plants. Or you can use a tall shelf to display various flowers and succulents.

Get a Hanging Plant

Hanging plants are wonderful for small spaces. Not only do they save room, but they also give the illusion of a taller ceiling.

Create a Terrarium

Terrariums are a clever way to add style, and they’re ideal for plants that require little upkeep. Air plants, succulents, and cacti are all good options for terrariums. Custom design your own with pebbles, soil, moss, and rocks.

Ideas for Decorating With Outdoor Plants

Lined Walkways

Make your home more inviting by lining your walkway with flowers or shrubs. Depending on where you live, desert plants like lavender, yucca, and agave also work well.

Container Gardens

Container gardens have become increasingly popular over the last few years. By choosing outdoor planters over traditional gardens, homeowners are saving time on maintenance while adding a contemporary look to their yards.

Hanging Garden

Vertical gardens are the latest outdoor trend making its way into everyone’s backyard. Not only is it stylish, but it’s also a great space-saving hack.

Door Wreaths

Spring flowers and wreaths will make your home shout spring. Add one outside or indoors to create a welcoming environment.

Should I Use Fake Plants?

Fake plants are a good option for low-light indoor areas like bathrooms and foyers. Many high-quality imitation plants look as good as real ones and will last much longer.
