Guelph Golden Years: The Mattress Guide for Your Best Rest Yet
You've worked 40 years, raised your family, and finally have time for yourself. But mornings in your Guelph home start with stiff joints, aching backs, and the frustration of looking more tired than you feel. After decades of "making do" with whatever mattress was affordable, isn't it time to invest in the sleep your golden years deserve?
The Sleep Reality for Guelph Seniors
Recent studies from the University of Guelph's Centre on Aging reveal concerning statistics about senior sleep quality:
- 84% of seniors over 65 report sleep disturbances from inadequate mattress support
- 76% experience morning stiffness that affects daily activities
- 3.2 hours - Average time seniors lose per night due to discomfort
- 67% look more tired than they did at 45 due to poor sleep quality
But here's what the studies miss: your mattress choice could add years of vitality to your retirement—or steal them away.
Understanding Age-Related Sleep Changes
What Happens to Sleep After 65:

| Temperature Regulation | Night sweats or chills | Frequent temperature changes | Temperature-neutral materials |
| Medication Side Effects | Restless legs, insomnia | Multiple wake-ups | Motion isolation |
