Getting a good night’s sleep is an important component in maintaining a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy balance. However, research from the American Sleep Foundation indicates that roughly 66% of people in the United States report having issues getting sleep that fully renews them. In addition, over 50% of adults in American report having some kind of chronic pain, something that can be exacerbated by sleeping on a traditional flat mattress — the natural shape of your back is not supported.

If you suffer from chronic pain and/or have a hard time getting a good night’s sleep, you may want to look into purchasing some kind of adjustable bed. An adjustable bed can come in any kind of size — from twin to a king size adjustable bed — and allow you to help alleviate pressure and tension from certain areas of the body that may be hindering your sleep. Read on to learn more about the benefits of adjustable beds!

Why You Should Purchase an Adjustable Bed:

  • The most obvious benefit of buying an adjustable bed is bed comfort. Even if it is a large king size adjustable bed, the whole thing can be adjusted to certain position to support your head, neck, shoulders, legs and back when you sleep. This helps to reduce pain or soreness when you wake up.
  • There are many different types of adjustable beds that come in different sizes and with different assets. Some adjustable beds even come with optional heating and massage options for the ultimate relaxation experience. If you are looking for a really luxurious adjustable bed, talk to staff members at a mattress store and see if they can help you find what you are looking for.
  • Many people choose to get memory foam adjustable beds to further create a better sleeping experience. There are many great deals out there on memory foam beds, so talk to sales reps at stores and see what you can find.
  • If you have a partner living with you, and adjustable bed is great because it can accommodate both of your unique sleep needs. For example, if you need support on your back and your partner needs support on their legs, you can each adjust your own side to suit those needs and keep you comfortable.
  • Many people are wary of purchasing an adjustable bed because of the price tag. However, buying an adjustable bed is an investment into your health, which is absolutely invaluable.

The Best Places to Buy and Sell Church Pews

Church steeple plans

Everyone –religious or not — can recognize a building as a church from the outside just by looking at a church steeple. Local churches are often the oldest building within any parish, meaning that elements like a church steeple and church furniture are often the original. On the inside, as well there is also a very recognizable, old element in churches that are often overlooked: church pews.

A Brief History of Church Pews:

  • Apart from a few Orthodox religious groups, pews can be found in practically every church across the United States. People have used church pews since the 13th century, having removable stone benches placed alongside the inner walls of the church. Before this time period around the Protestant Reformation, however, pews weren’t really used.
  • As church sermons became an integral part of religious sermons, the church pew became a standard part of the church so that people could sit. In churches where prayers are carried out upon bended knee, there are church pews often equipped with cushioned kneelers in front of the bench.
  • From the 1600s-1800s, only certain people could sit in certain areas of the church. For instance, wealthier individuals were assigned to the seats closest to the altar while peasants sat toward the back.
  • In the 20th century, it became common for churches to rent out pews in order to raise income. This was a common practice with Presbyterians, Anglicans and Catholics alike. Antique church pews would often fetch a high price, as they were revered as being an important part of the original church.

To this day, many people remain interested in being able to buy church pews, especially old ones. Many people purchase church pews and use them either as some kind of bench in a dining area or use them in their own private religious shrines.

With 40% of Americans classifying themselves as very religious in a Gallup poll, there is a fairly solid market for buying and selling church pews — or even original church parts like a church steeple — to devout individuals who would like a part of their religion’s history for themselves.

If you’re looking to buy or sell church pews, the best place to look would be in the southern part of the United States. Research conducted in 2011 shows that eight out of then 10 most religious states in the country are actually located down south, so you’ll have a better chance of being able to sell church pews there than up north.
