Get the Right Mattress for Your College Student
Your son or daughter is off to college, and it's likely that high on the shopping list is a mattress. A college student's mattress is likely to be one of the only pieces of furniture that you can't skimp on quality-wise; although dorm rooms aren't known for fashion-forward furniture, a quality mattress could be the difference between good grades and falling behind in college.
Recent studies have shown that college students aren't getting enough shut-eye, and it's affecting their ability to perform well in school. Between the demands of academics, a packed social calendar, and extra pressures like work or sports, most college students just aren't getting the sleep they need to recover. Invest in a quality mattress to give your college student the best chance at a successful college experience.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you're looking for a quality mattress:
- Give it a test drive (er, nap): Everyone loves a good mattress test drive. The thing is a "medium firm" mattress to a 200-pound college football quarterback is going to feel like a slab of concrete to a 120-pound freshman cheerleader. Make sure your student gets a chance to test out a mattress before choosing to rent or purchase it.
- Ask an expert. You honestly don't want to end up with a sub-par mattress—that equals sub-par sleep for your student. Talk to the experts at Central Rent to Own to find exactly the mattress you need.
- Rent instead of buying. College is a perfect time to invest in temporary, more affordable options instead of long term purchases. Consider renting your college student's mattress instead of buying. This is also ideal if you're not sure where your student will be living next semester or next year.
