How Much Do You Know About Junk Sleep? See How Many Points You Can Rack Up

Junk Sleep: you might not know what it means, but you know how it feels. It’s poor sleep that leaves behind a groggy, foggy, bone-deep exhaustion that you can’t seem to shake — the kind of tired that makes you forget to turn on the coffee maker yet then wonder why it’s not working.

But don’t worry, it’s not just you: everyone is exhausted these days. Lots of things can keep you awake, from stress to kids to an overpacked schedule, but one of the biggest is that your mattress is, as the kids say, trash.

Luckily, Mattress Firm has our backs — literally! Its unique MattressMatcher™ can help you find the perfect mattress based on your preferred sleeping positions, temperature preferences, and unique sleep habits, so that you get the quality sleep you need to wake up not only on the right side of the bed, but in the right bed for you.
