It’s something Echuca’s Forty Winks has been specialising in for the past 32 years; and, thanks to a new diagnostic system, it can match you to a mattress best suited to your body type and unique sleep needs.
Its bedMATCH test bed, exclusive to Forty Winks, has a built-in computer system and sensors that run more than 1000 scientific calculations across 18 statistical body measurements including your height, and the width of your shoulders, hips and waist.
The system then uses the data and determines your and your partner's correct levels of postural support.
“It’s a unique experience that will help match you to the perfect mattress,” Forty Winks owner-manager Scott Worsnop said.
“To have two different feels in one surface is a good option for those people who have different weights and heights, and bedMATCH can help diagnose that for customers.
“Sleep health is everything and we are constantly learning of the side effects of not getting enough good quality sleep.”
And with more than 65 mattresses and 27 bedroom suites on display, there is a mattress to suit the most discerning of sleepers.
And it’s not just mattresses that can be tailored to your needs. Adjustable bases allow you to comfortably sit in bed with proper body and neck support without awkward propping of pillows.
“Lifestyle adjustable bases are a big part of our business. They have come a long way and can suit people of any age,” Scott said.
“Whether you’re reading a book, or watching TV, your bed adjusts to suit you. It can also improve circulation, help with back pain and breathing and with post-surgery recovery.”
Its move from Hare St to the Echuca Homemaker Centre on Ogilvie Ave last year has allowed Forty Winks to showcase its complete range of bedroom suites, manchester, furniture accessories and mattresses to customers like never before.
As the largest retail bedding specialist store in regional Victoria, the store is double the size it was at its previous site, with more than 1000 square meters of showroom floor.
“Our suites are displayed just as you would see them in your own home, which makes your shopping experience much more enjoyable,” Scott said.
