HOW CAN I CHOOSE THE BEST BED?


IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD CALL IN AT CORTS.


Come to a store like Corts that has an excellent selection of beds. Talk with an. expert who will first point out the features and benefits of each model. Lie on them all for comparison and guarantee selecting the right one for you.


The right bed should be receptive to your moves and turns and counteract your weight giving the impression of floating on air.


Enjoy your bed searching, it's fun while being important.


1. Is your bed more than 10 years old. Q


2. Can you feel any springs or ridges in __ your mattress.


3. Does your mattress twang when you lay on it.


4. If you are staying away from home, does your hotel bed feel better than your own.| [


5. Does your bed sag, especially in tne __ middle.


L J 6. Is your bed too small.


7. Does the divan base have an uneven surface.


In a bed there are an average of 25 different elements, each playing a vital role. The firmness and quality of the bed is dictated by the design and proportion in which these elements are assembled.


WHAT MAKES A BED GOOD FOR YOU OR BAD FOR YOU?


This is how a bed can be suitable for an 8st. teenager but not necessarily ideal for a 13st. adult.


One thing is certain, an OLD bed is a bad bed.


All the parts of a bed move, and that means they get weaker and fail. Your muscles require perfect support for complete rest. If they don’t get this support you wake up already tired,' with aching limbs and backs.


So, don’t delay. . . your health is now at risk. .
