Key Components of a Home Theater System, presented by Mathis Brothers Furniture

Since 1955, Mathis Brother Furniture has helped customers create the home of their dreams by supplying high-quality furnishings at low prices. The qualified team of designers at Mathis Brothers Furniture leverage decades of combined experience to meet each client’s specific needs. While outfitting the dining room and kitchen is essential, a home theater system is a luxury intended solely for pleasure. Because of this, the home theatre demands a combination of style, comfort, functionality, and performance. Most home theatre systems comprise a few essential components and additional features are left to the discretion of the homeowner. However, there are a few items no home theatre designer should omit.

Entertainment Console: We will not get into the debate between flatscreens and projectors here, but a large television is a given, and an attractive entertainment console is a must regardless of the route you choose. An entertainment console serves as the centerpiece for the room and will keep all of the Blu-ray, DVD, stereo, and other auxiliary components organized and neatly concealed, as well as help minimize the entanglement of cords and wires.

Surround Sound: One of the defining aspects of a home theatre system is a stellar surround sound system. Whether you are playing video games, watching a movie, or listening to opera, surround sound enhances the overall effect of all media. Be sure speakers are positioned throughout the room to maximize the sound.

Ample Seating: Entertaining is one of the benefits to a great home theatre system, so be sure to have enough seating for your friends. Many people opt for theatre-style seating with individual reclining chairs. This approach works for large areas, but those with limited floor space should consider reclining sofas or love seats instead.

Mathis Brothers Furniture on Knowing When It’s Time For a New Mattress

Mathis Brothers Furniture offers Oklahoma City’s most extensive selections of quality, affordable home furnishings. One question customers often ask is how to determine when it’s time for a new mattress. While there is no simple answer, there are a number of issues that arise over time, indicating that mattress replacement is in order. Quality mattresses such as Tempur-Pedic, Serta, and Eco Comfort are designed for long-term durability. However they do not last forever. While external indicators such as wear and tear present clear evidence that a mattress’s limits have been reached, there are other signs to watch for. Because these are not visible, many people remain unaware that mattresses are no longer meeting their sleep comfort requirements.

Sleep quality is the ultimate arbiter of mattress performance, and waking up with unexplained soreness or stiffness is one indicator that you are not getting an ideal night’s rest. Another common sign is realizing that sleeping in a hotel room is more comfortable and restful than in one’s own bedroom. The most common indicator is simply that sleep is not as comfortable or easy as it was a year or two ago.

Changes in lifestyle and body shape necessitate new mattress solutions. Getting married often means selecting a mattress with ample space for two. In addition, aging brings changes to our bodies, and what gave firm support at age 20 may be quite different than what works well at age 40. If you have a family, be aware of children’s changing needs: a 5-year-old’s mattress space requirements are considerably less than a 16-year-olds.

Other factors to be aware of in considering the lifespan of a mattress are quality and use. Poor quality mattresses see a rapid performance drop-off from year to year, while high-quality selections offer consistent performance over the long term. Also be aware of use: if you regularly use the bed like a trampoline, its lifetime will be severely shortened. Even sitting on the edge of the bed regularly and watching TV can place uneven weight on the mattress, eventually deteriorating performance. Remember to always read manufacturer mattress care tips when purchasing a new mattress you expect to last a significant number of years.
