Sleep Doctor At Your Service

I hear it time and time again: "I was on vacation/traveling for work and slept better than in my bed at home." Spending the night on a different mattress other than the one you have at home can drive home the fact that your current mattress is in dire need of replacing. However, some people assume it is because the mattress they are on in the hotel is so good and will actually go to great lengths to find out the make and model of the hotel mattress or even buy one from the hotel. Is this a good idea?

You turned it, flipped it, heck you even sang to it, and yet your relatively new mattress developed a body impression very quickly. But wait, didn't the salesperson at the mattress store say the mattress would last for 20 years? Oh, or did they say it had a 20 year WARRANTY? 

It can be crazy out there when shopping for a new mattress, in particular when shopping for a new one here in the San Francisco Bay Area, around Berkeley, Palo Alto and San Jose Areas. Why is it so hard? Because there are so many mattress companies and retailers concentrated in these areas, and they are all advertising they have the best products and the best prices as they fight for your business. It can be confusing trying to decipher all the marketing messages they are putting out. Some are willing to do and say anything to get you in the door. 

How do you proceed? 

The first 30 days of life with your new mattress can be stressful on your body as well. A new mattress can have a break-in period that makes it feel different than the one you may have tried on the showroom floor, or be different than the one you read about online. The mattress can feel different than your last mattress, making it unfamiliar to your body and thus uncomfortable. It can also provide proper support while your old mattress had broken down and lost its ability to support your back properly, making the new bed cause some discomfort. 

Everyone loves popular storybook heroes and heroines. If you're looking to redo your child's bedroom, chances are he or she wants a theme that includes a favorite character or movie. Creating a room your child adores while remaining functional and practical can be difficult, but that doesn't mean you need to deck the room out in tacky murals, decals or organic bedding. Instead, embrace your child's desired theme and deliver a room that is both playful and versatile, perfect for now and easy to change up in the future.

It was drilled into as a kid; "Make your bed!" But did you ever stop to think why we were supposed to make our bed? Making your bed is great for aesthetics, but not necessarily the healthiest thing to do all the time. Always making your bed can actually be a bad thing!

Shopping for the Best Priced Mattress in San Francisco, or any town, can be a bit of a daunting task, as there is no uniform pricing for mattresses...

A recent visitor to the store asked,  "Dude, why another mattress store in the city of San Francisco?" Don't we have enough already? Great question...
