How to Choose the Right Pillow for You with Sleep Number Southlake

We spend roughly one-third of our lives sleeping. Do you really want to spend one-third of your life on an uncomfortable mattress or pillow? To help you get the restful sleep you need, Sleep Number Southlake at the Shops of Southlake is sharing some tips on how to choose the right pillow for you.

Amount of Support
When you sleep, do you prefer to feel like you barely have something under your head or do you prefer a pillow so firm that it feels like a rock? This is considerably the most important thing to know when picking out a pillow. To make sure that you are going to have the right amount of support, you yourself should go to the store and feel the different firmness of the various pillows and see which one feels most right.

Sleep Position
Depending on whether you sleep on your back, stomach, side or move around a lot, determines what type of pillow would be best for you. Pillows are no longer just your standard shape. There are plenty out there now that are accommodating to the various positions that people like to sleep in. You may not think that this will make a lot of difference, but you’ll feel it after you’ve spent the night sleeping on your stomach with a pillow for someone that sleeps on their back. Sleep Number Southlake has a wide variety of pillows that are great for any sleeping position.

Desired Fill
There are several different types of filling that can be in a pillow, and while the material used generally depends on the level of firmness desired, some materials lend themselves to both soft and firm pillows. Just at Sleep Number Southlake alone, you can have a pillow that has either contour foam, down, down alternative, dual support or memory fiber.

It’s time you find your perfect pillow! You can come on over to Sleep Number Southlake at the Shops of Southlake to discover your sleep number, and you can take Sleep Number’s online quiz to see which of their comfy pillows are right for you!

Springfree Trampoline: Summer Trampoline Cleaning Tips

Cleaning your trampoline in the Texas summer heat is never as fun as jumping on them. To help make your life easier, Springfree Trampoline Southlake has put together trampoline cleaning tips before you bounce your way into summer.

Before cleaning

Before you begin your cleaning, remove all trampoline accessories such as the basketball hoop, FlexrHoop, or interactive games, like tgoma. Then, gather all the cleaning supplies you’ll need.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A broom
  • A bucket
  • Warm soapy water
  • Hose
  • Clean towels
  • Sponge

Surface cleaning

Before you go crazy and start hosing down the mat, you’ll need to take off the safety net and take your broom to sweep off any extra dirt and debris. Sweeping the trampoline may be very tempting to skip, but in the end, it will make your cleaning easier and quicker. Use your hose and rinse down the mat to prepare it for cleaning. After, take your bucket of warm soapy water and scrub the mat with your sponge. Avoid using chemical based soaps on the mat as they might corrode the material. After you give your mat a good scrub, rinse over to wash off the remaining soap and let the mat dry. With the Texas summer heat, your mat will be dry in minutes!

Framework cleaning

Cleaning the framework of your Springfree trampoline will be easy since you don’t have to go through the pain of cleaning springs thanks to Springfree Trampoline. Simply take your sponge and warm soapy water and clean the composite rods and metal framework. Again, after scrubbing off all the dirt, rinse with your hose, and wipe down with a dry towel. You now have sparkling clean framework!

Safety net cleaning

Remember when I said cleaning the framework of your Springfree Trampoline would be easy? Cleaning the safety net is the easiest step of all. Simply have your net hanging and rinse down thoroughly with your hose and scrub when necessary. If you scrub your net, be sure to rinse down with your hose to wash off the remaining soap. There you have it! A clean Springfree trampoline. It will look so clean your neighbors will think you bought a new one.

If you’re in need to jump for joy, be sure to leap by Springfree Trampoline Southlake. You’ll be guaranteed to bounce out with a safe, clean trampoline, free of the pain of springs.

Sample House and Candle Shop: Scents of Summer

Is there really any better way to unwind from a long day than lighting your favorite candle and maybe pouring a glass of wine? The summer candles at Sample House and Candle Shop at the Shops of Southlake can definitely help you with finding your zen, even if it is just through scent. (As for that glass of wine we mentioned, you may want to head over to Central Market right next door.) Here are some of the great scents of summer that you can find at Sample House and Candle Shop Southlake.

Classic Grapefruit

From the well-known fragrance manufacturer, Nest, comes the exceptional Classic Grapefruit candle. With pink pomelo grapefruit and watery green nuances that are balanced with lily of the valley and coriander blossom, this luxurious candle is quintessentially summer.

Apricot Tea

Another one of our favorites from Nest’s summer candles is the Apricot Tea candle. Rich yet light black tea is combined with English apricot to create the perfect balance of fruity and herbal aromas, with just a hint of bergamot and amber for drama.

Marine

Known for hand-pouring all of their candles, LAFCO New York has released Marine candle, which is the perfect bathroom candle! The scent of this phenomenal summer candle can only be described one way: an ethereal ozonic fragrance that captures the exhilarating scent of fresh sea air.

Water

Also known for their hand-poured candles and a Sample House and Candle Shop favorite, Trapp has their Water candle. With the same ozonic, watery fragrance of the Marine candle, this candle also has a sophisticated and energizing spirit that has a hint of floral.
