Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day but if you were planning to simply pick up some flowers, you might want to think again. According to market research, moms would prefer some pampering outside of the home, such as a spa visit, or even gift cards over a bouquet of flowers. You could also clean the house (or pay someone else to do it) because most moms also want more leisure time to spend with their families—without letting their responsibilities in the house pile up.

The people at Tempur-Pedic are pretty smart. They know that most moms want more sleep and what better way to give it to her than to buy her a luxurious Tempur-Pedic mattress?
