According to a recent study by Forbes, more than half of U.S. adults who said they fear aging are worried most about potentially declining health. September is Healthy Aging Month and Mueller Furniture & Mattress, a fourth-generation family-owned business is educating people on how furniture can help promote health benefits as we age. Mark Mueller, owner and president of Mueller Furniture & Mattress, has seen firsthand how different pieces can help lead to a better quality of life.
“Most people don’t realize certain furniture in your home can help the body as we age,” said Mueller. “The most important thing I recommend is focusing on what kind of mattress you have. Sleep is so crucial to our overall health and studies show that one out of every three Americans struggle to sleep at night. The right mattress can provide spinal alignment and benefit your physical and mental health. Aging is something to be celebrated and everyone deserves pieces in their home that help their bodies.”
Mueller Furniture & Mattress carries a variety of mattress brands including Tempur-Pedic, Chattam & Wells and Spring Air. The business offers adjustable bases and mattresses at all four locations. Mueller said along with mattresses, lift chairs, specifically Zecliner by Flexsteel, is the single product that can make a huge impact on a customer’s health and day-to-day life.
“It can be hard to see your parents or loved ones get older, and if you’re looking to help them as they get older, I recommend investing in a lift chair or good massage chair to help alleviate any pressure points and promote relaxation,” said Mueller. “If dad or grandpa is always working in the garden, or has spent years on his feet, a massage chair is a way to help circulation and blood flow. Elevating your legs can also combat inflammation. Stop into any of our stores, share your health or aging concerns with our comfort specialists and we will be able to help point you in the right direction to a piece that can help you.”
Mueller Furniture offers the largest selection of American-made furniture in the St Louis area and has specialized in providing quality furniture since John Mueller opened its doors over 90 years ago. The family-owned business has locations in Lake St. Louis and Ellisville, Mo., as well as its flagship store in Belleville, Ill. and warehouse showroom in Fairview Heights, Ill. Their stores feature galleries from Smith Brothers of Berne, Indiana, Flexsteel and an Amish-made furniture gallery. They also will have high-quality mattress suppliers Tempur-Pedic and Chattam & Wells. For more information about Mueller Furniture, go to www.muellerfurniture.com or call (618) 977-8716.
