Mattress FAQ
How often should a mattress be replaced?
Most mattresses last 8–10 years. If you wake up sore or notice sagging, it may be time to replace it sooner.
How do I choose the right firmness?
Side sleepers usually prefer soft–medium, back sleepers medium–firm, and stomach sleepers firm. Trying them in person is the best way to know.
What mattresses help with back pain?
Medium or medium-firm models with good lumbar support work best. Hybrids and premium foams like Tempur-Pedic often give better pressure relief.
What should I know about warranties and trials?
Warranties cover defects, not comfort changes. Most of our mattresses include a 120-night comfort exchange with a Blackberry Creek protector purchase.
Do you deliver and remove old mattresses?
Yes. We deliver throughout Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. Tempur-Pedic includes free local delivery; other brands have standard delivery fees.
Can I test mattresses in person?
Absolutely. Visit our Foscoe or Boone Mall locations to compare brands and feels side-by-side with low-pressure guidance.
