How to Choose the Right Mattress for Your Sleep Style

The right mattress does more than help you sleep—it improves your entire day. At Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses, we carry premium brands like Shifman, Beautyrest Black, Purple, Casper, Serta Perfect Sleeper, and more, and we offer expert guidance to help you choose the best mattress based on your sleep style.


Side Sleepers: Cushion Where You Need It Most

Side sleepers benefit from mattresses that relieve pressure at the shoulders and hips while supporting spinal alignment. A medium-soft to medium-firm mattress is ideal.

Great Options at Cardi’s:

  • Beautyrest® Harmony Lux™
  • Shifman® Quilted Collection – Plush Top

Back Sleepers: Balanced Support for Spinal Alignment

Back sleepers need a mattress that balances comfort and firmness to maintain a neutral spine and reduce lower back strain.

Recommended Models:

  • Beautyrest® Firm
  • Shifman® Handmade Tight Top Mattresses
  • iComfortECO™ by Serta

Stomach Sleepers: Keep It Firm

Stomach sleepers require firm support to prevent the midsection from sinking, which can cause spinal misalignment.

Shop These Options:

  • Serta® Perfect Sleeper Firm
  • Mattress in a Box – Firm Support
  • Shifman® Luxury Firm Collection

Combo Sleepers: Responsive and Adaptable

Switching positions during the night? You’ll want a mattress that adapts quickly and supports movement in every position. Hybrid or latex models are ideal.

Top Choices:

  • Beautyrest® Harmony Hybrid
  • iComfortECO™ Medium Hybrid
  • Shifman® Two-Sided Mattresses with Natural Materials

Premium Comfort with Shifman® Mattresses

Known for handcrafted excellence, Shifman® mattresses offer natural materials, two-sided construction, and premium craftsmanship for exceptional durability and luxury comfort. Whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, Shifman offers models that suit every need—with the kind of quality you can truly feel.

Why Shifman Stands Out:

  • Handmade in the USA
  • Natural cotton upholstery
  • Two-sided, flippable design for extended mattress life
  • Box-spring supported for traditional comfort and bounce

The Secret to a Restful Retreat

YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME IN THE BEDROOM with your eyes closed, so you might think it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Think again.

A recent survey found that 73% of respondents with tidy bedrooms reported sleeping well, compared to only 53% of those with messy rooms. And insomnia experts say that physical clutter causes mental clutter. Solution: declutter and streamline so your room really does feel like a sanctuary.

 

 

 

To do that, emphasize storage and quality over a quick fix. Say goodbye to plastic boxes under the bed and hello to under bed drawers. Storage beds offer a beautiful way to hide linens and extras out of sight and options abound. Opt for high-waisted dressers and chests with more drawers for more storage. Bedside tables tend to become dumping grounds for all sorts of clutter, so choose one with a drawer to tuck away charging cords and paraphernalia to inspire calm.

 

 

 

Quality adds crucial peace of mind too. Look for details such as ball bearing drawer glides, cedar and felt-lined drawers, upgraded finishes and more. Additionally, our Amish line begins with 100% solid wood and includes floating top panels, English dovetailed drawer boxes, sanded and stained drawer interiors, and pressure cast aluminum corner brackets on all beds for extra durability.

 

 

 

Once you’ve nailed those details, it’s time for the fun style part. Earthy tones and darker wood stains are in, as are style curves, two-tone color, and design details that are reflected in all pieces of a set. Choose from traditional classics such as a sleigh bed or sleek modern design in a platform bed, and everything in between for a peaceful night.

 

 

 

Your brain and body, which need solid nightly sleep to function, will thank you.

Find Your Perfect Balance!

ON THE SPRING EQUINOX, THE EARTH’S TILT IS PERFECTLY BALANCED – JUST LIKE YOU WILL BE IN A NIROPEDIC LIFT & TILT

What’s your preference: Head up? Knees supported? How about zero gravity? Try the NIROPEDIC LIFT & TILT adjustable bed that offers features you won’t find anywhere else and you’ll feel more balanced than ever. Of course it has all of the traditional adjustable base functions, including our muscle-strain-relieving LIFT and lower option. Now we’ve added TILT – a feature that tilts your whole body while still lying flat. This helps with acid reflux, stopping the backflow of your digestive system and takes pressure off your airways to help with snoring and other sleep conditions. With the zero gravity option, both head and foot areas are inclined which helps with circulation, back pain and swelling. All this comfort comes with one touch of a programmable remote that also features underbed LED lighting, flashlight and massage. No other adjustable base allows for back, side and even stomach sleeping while inclined.*

 

So go ahead and put your legs up after a vigorous spring hike. Raise your head and shoulders to watch TV in bed. Or get support under your knees for catnapping. The NIROPEDIC LIFT & TILT lets you choose your perfect position.

 

Go to bed. Sleep. Get out of Bed.

If going to bed worries you… the NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt can help!

Our Mom, who lived to be 100 years old, had a bad fall when she was in her 80’s, breaking her hip and arm. Wow, she went from very mobile to not, instantly. The Power Lift Recliner that’s fully functional as a chair, a recliner and lifts as needed, was a godsend for her. But what to do about sleep? We needed a bed she could easily get into and out of without struggling, thus giving / allowing her independence in her home. And not a “METAL FRAMED HOSPITAL BED”. Nope, not in her home!

So, Ron went to work with our mattress buyers, developing a sleep set like no other, anywhere, just for our Mom. This bed would lower, so Mom could just sit on the bed from her walker and then, would magically lift her so she could easily get out of bed to make the bathroom run (walker run). Of course once we saw how she loved it, and how her mobility returned to her, we knew this bed could help so many with any physical ailments or mobility limitations. Instead of this just being “Mom’s Bed”, we decided to carry it in our stores, and named it the NIROPEDIC Lift. 

 

It featured all of the traditional adjustable base functions, including our muscle-strain-relieving, lift and lower option. This sleep set actually lowers to a low of about 17″ from the floor and can then lift vertically to approximately 26″. This allows for anyone using a walker, to walk up to the sleep set (bed) and just sit down on it. No more struggling to get into bed. If you use a wheelchair, it can adjust to your seat height. Then, when it’s time to get out of bed, all you do is push the button and the bed will lift you to the desired height, so you are not climbing out of bed, you are just getting assisted by the bed, back to your walker or wheelchair by being at the proper height needed. If you need assisted care, this will save your caretakers’ back, arms so they can spend more time taking care of you and not trying to lift you. And it looks exactly like a traditional mattress and foundation!

But what else could it do?  We sat down at the drawing board and added a new element, the TILT feature. Thus dubbing it … 

The NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt.

 

Think of this as inclined Bed Therapy at the touch of a button. Google it. It’s pretty impressive.

NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt offers a feature that tilts your whole body, while still lying flat. This is the only sleep set to offer the ease of entry and exit out of your bed, by adjusting up and down with a Tilt feature. This helps with acid reflux, stopping the backflow of your digestive system, taking pressure off your airways to help with snoring and other sleep conditions. If you’re having hip, knee or shoulder surgery, NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt is a game changer. This is the only adjustable base that will lower to your level, so you don’t have to climb to get into bed. Use the zero-gravity option, where both head and foot areas are inclined to help with circulation, back pain and swelling. All this comfort with one touch of a programmable remote featuring under bed LED lighting, flashlight and massage. Only NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt allows for back, side and even stomach sleeping. NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt is available exclusively at Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses and cardis.com. We can deliver and set up anywhere in the U.S.A. excluding California.  

NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt and our line of NIROPEDIC Lift recliners are also Universally Designed, meaning they both look and work as any other bed or chair but as you need the mobility functionality, with the touch of a button, you are on your way to Independence.
