What matress is the best for you?

Think about this: You spend 1/3 of your life in bed.  Doesn't it make sense investing in a decent mattress in order to maximize your quality of life? Many people spend a lot of money on a car they spend maybe an hour a day in and yet they skimp on their mattress.

I will be doing a thorough investigation into the latest technology and recommendations in mattresses in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for a detailed blog on my findings.

In the meanwhile, here are a few guidelines on what to look for in a mattress as it applies to spinal health...

You really can't go wrong with a firm mattress that has a pillow top cover.
Don't bother with the cheapest or most expensive mattresses. 
Don't bother with gimmick mattresses (memory foam, intelli-gel, sleep system, motorized)
Shop around for pricing and don't be afraid to 'haggle' - many stores have frequent sales.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Congratulations to My Old Friend Anthony Calvillo…

Congrats to the Montreal Alouettes football organization and their quarterback Anthony Calvillo on back to back Grey Cup victories.  Sorry Riders fans, better luck next year.
