Hi! I’m Penny, the “Mattress Dork”. My friends dubbed me this because as a former mattress industry expert I came out of the business having all of this extra knowledge about none other than.. mattresses! Why they may be getting tired of my “mattress factoids” I knew there had to people out there who could really USE this information I have to offer!

“Penny, M.D” was created as your destination for reviews, advice, and guidance on mattresses brands to enable you to make an educated purchase decision for a mattress that best suits YOUR needs. We all know we need sleep for our health and well being, but don’t realize how much suffering our current mattresses can be causing us. I struggled for many years with personal issues that affected my sleep. Going through dreaded menopause, and having constant hot flashes, I was plagued with sleeplessness and discomfort throughout the night. In addition to those ailments, I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. This is a syndrome in which a person has body-wide pain and tenderness which more often than not left me fatigued and up all night. Instead of using pills or therapies as my solution, I turned to my mattress. Who knew a mattress could aid in so many aspects of my health? By finding a mattress brand and type that suited MY needs, my pain levels have been reduced drastically.

I am here to help you with similar problems. Whether you suffer from similar conditions that keep you up at night which include Fibromyalgia, Acid reflux, restless leg syndrome, menopause, or you just aren’t comfy when you sleep; I’m here to offer you solutions for these real issues with unbiased advice on how a mattress can aid you.

A sound night of sleep keeps your heart healthy, reduces stress, bolsters your memory, helps your body make repairs, reduces risk of depression, and as we all know, just makes you feel GOOD! Follow my blog to help find a mattress that suits your needs and will put you on the path to better sleep, and thus better health.
