Only Stearns & Foster fuses new innovative technologies with time-honored traditions — resulting in superior quality, craftsmanship and comfort.Recently a customer shared with us some mattress shopping advice her Mom had given her. Stay away from the S’s, she was told. “Whatever mattress you decide upon, just DON’T get a mattress from a brand that starts with S.” She was referring to Sealy, Simmons, Stearns and Foster, Serta and Spring Air. (Why DO all the Big Name Mattress Companies have names that start with the letter S, anyway?) Why do we think our customer’s Mom’s advice was so great? Because all of the aforementioned companies only make one-sided, Can’t Flip Mattresses for the general public! They do, however, make two-sided mattresses for the hotel/motel industry (the buyers for whom WON’T buy one-sided models because they just don’t last). Many smaller, ‘second tier’ mattress companies have followed suit, making and selling only one-sided mattresses to the general public.
We only sell 2-sided mattressesThey last up to 3 times longer, while staying comfortable. SEE MATTRESSES THAT HOLD THEIR VALUE One-sided mattresses just don’t last as long as a two-sided mattress you can flip. Many mattress companies and all “big S” mattress companies have adopted the one-sided, can’t-flip mattress for just one simple reason: there’s more profit in them. One-sided mattresses are about 25% cheaper to produce, yet manufacturers can wholesale them to the dealers and retailers for the same price they did a two-sided mattress. That means more money in their pockets, and more money over time from customers. One-sided mattresses don’t last as long as two-sided models, which means consumers (YOU) will be replacing their mattress sooner. For an insider’s perspective on why ’no need to flip’ mattresses are the biggest consumer disservice (dare we say fraud?) since . . . ever? . . . read our most popular blog post ever, “Can’t Flip” Mattress Rant.
Visit our store and try out our two-sided mattresses or ones that have removable covers that allow you to refresh the mattress. It’s just the right thing to do and yep, Mom really does know best! A flippable mattress changes everythingMake the most of your investment. Get a mattress you can flip & rotate. SHOP 2-SIDED MATTRESSES NOW A 2-sided mattress you can flip and rotate is better for your body and your wallet! Flippable mattresses last up to 3 times as long as ‘can’t flip’ ones. It’s simply untrue that 2-sided mattresses are no longer being made. Here at Bedrooms & More Seattle, they’re all we sell — because it’s what is best for our customers and the environment. Spices Beds can be configured with K-Series and/or P-Series Bed Rails. Dual-System beds can use both K-Series and P-Series. The differences are shown below. The choice of bed rails determine the choice of footboards & accessories. Some of our beds are being changed to Dual-System.
Dual System Headboards • Works with both K-Series and P-Series Rails • New “Dual System Headboards” We are in the process of changing many of our headboards to be both “K Series” and “P Series” capable. The headboards will have both sets of holes for using either way. The new headboards will be marked “Dual System Headboard” on the boxes. This process will take time for all sizes and finishes to be available and will be gradual, as the new versions come in and the old version get depleted. We are telling you now so that you can be aware of what the “Dual System Headboard” terminology means when you see it on the box or in our catalog. The list of headboards that will be switched to the new “Dual System” are listed below. Of course, you will need to order the correct rails and footboards depending on whether the customer wants “K” or “P” Series. The new “K Series” height allows for the use of the bigger bunk bed drawers and/or trundle and “K Series” footboards already have the privacy panel built in.
