R OBY ’ S F URNITURE & A PPLIANCE FLORENCE–Even though many people try to maintain an active lifestyle and get regular exercise, the body still changes with age. Roby’s Furniture & Appliance and Th e Mattress Shoppe will be showcasing three diff erent ways of help- ing people off set some of those changes at this week’s Boomer and Senior Expo with Sim- mons mattresses on an adjust- able bed; a Flexsteel lift chair; and a SoCozy heat and mas- sage chair by Southern Motion. Getting a good night’s sleep can go a long way towards pre- venting fatigue. Sleep gives a body the time it needs to repair itself overnight. If you wake up stiff and sore, or feeling more tired than you did the night before, it could mean that it’s time for a new mattress. A Simmons mattress on an adjustable bed from Th e Mat- tress Shoppe at Roby’s can help you get that “better night’s sleep.” If you fi nd yourself sitting in an uncomfortable chair be- cause it’s the only one in the house that doesn’t hurt when you stand up, you might think about a lift chair. It can help you stand up without putting strain on your back or knees. It can also help you maintain your balance as you rise, pos- sibly preventing a devastating fall. Or, how about the new SoCozy massage chair from Southern Motion. A gentle massage, either full back or lumbar along with the heat of the SoCozy, can soothe those tired muscles. Roby’s Furniture has a very large selection of manufactur- ers and models on display and will have several at the expo, where you’ll fi nd brands like Ultra Comfort and Med-Lift , as well as Flexsteel and LaZBoy. Members of the Roby’s Sales Team will have a display of products for you to try out. Th ey’ll also be there with plen- ty of information and explain our “Take It Back” guarantees so you’ll feel comfortable with your purchase. In addition, Roby’s off ers sev- eral ways to pay. If you special order and pay in advance, you will save 20 percent off your lift chair or adjustable base — of- fer good only through Th urs- day, Oct. 31. Financing your purchase can be paid over 18 months with deferred interest, with credit approval required. Create your perfect home with furniture, appliances and mattresses that are just right!
