We’re like Happy Valley, Oregon’s matchmakers for mattresses, and with the Northwest’s largest selection of mattresses, our odds of finding perfect chemistry are second to none.

And if you feel like you’ve done enough research, you can easily purchase your new bed online through our online store.

Mattress Purpose

Will the mattress be a daily driver? Or something for a guest room, RV or boat? If the mattress is for daily use, then it is recommended that you purchase the highest quality bed that your budget allows. Money saved in the short term will be spent in replacement costs only a couple of years later. A high-quality mattress can last for 10 to 15 years if properly cared for. If the mattress will be seldomly used, then it’s not as important to spring for the best of the best. The Stearns & Foster Lux Hybrid is one of our customer favorites for its supportive IntelliCoil technology.

Type of Sleeper

Are you a side sleeper? A back sleeper? Or a stomach sleeper? Back sleepers will benefit from a medium-firm mattress like the Purple Restore Premier Firm, which allows your hips and shoulders to sink in just enough to keep your spine in a neutral position. Stomach sleepers should opt for a firmer mattress that keeps your hips elevated. Side sleepers tend to prefer a plusher mattress like the Purple Luxe Rejuvenate Soft that allows their hips, shoulders and elbows to sink further into the comfort layers, keeping your spine in a neutral position.

Hot or Cold Sleepers in Happy Valley

Do you often wake up soaked in sweat? Or do you end up shivering as if one of the ghosts in the Sixth Sense is in your room? Whatever it may be, we’ve got the ideal mattress for you. The Tempur-Pedic Luxe Breeze and the Serta Arctic are both very popular for those whose heat-producing hormones kick into overdrive during slumber.

Feel Preference

Do you prefer the springy feel of a traditional innerspring? Or the comforting, body-hugging effect of memory foam. Hybrid mattresses like the Tempur-Pedic Pro Adapt Hybrid or the Beautyrest Black Hybrid combine the best of both worlds and meet in the middle. Providing the body-hugging effects of memory foam with the supportive spring of an innerspring mattress. The Beautyrest Black Hybrid mattresses are also some of our most popular models for hybrid lovers.

Single or Co-Sleeper

Do you typically sleep alone? Or do you share your bed with a partner, pets or children? It’s important that you have enough space to move around and sleep comfortably. Obviously, the size of your sleeping space or bedroom will partially dictate the size of mattress that you can comfortably fit in the room. You will need to make sure that it allows for enough foot room to walk by the mattress as well as space for your other bedroom furniture.

Allergies, Injuries or Sleep Disorders

Those who suffer from allergies should never sleep on old mattresses as they may contain dust mites and other harmful allergens. It’s also important to be aware of whether you may be sensitive to the chemicals used to produce some mattresses.

Latex mattresses are hypoallergenic and made from material that is naturally derived from the Brazilian rubber tree. They are a popular choice for those with allergies. Posh + Lavish is a line of premium latex mattresses that have the added advantage of an extremely long lifespan (up to 20 years with proper care). Check these out in our Happy Valley location!

Injuries can make getting in and out of bed difficult, but adjustable bases make this much easier. A mattress that is too low to the ground can be just as difficult to navigate as one that is too tall. An adjustable base like the Tempur-Pedic Ergo Smart is a practical lifesaver when mobility is an issue or when you simply want the convenience of being able to use your bed for things other than lying flat to go to sleep, like reading or watching TV.

Age and Body Type of Sleeper

As our body ages and changes, our needs change. Kids or adults who are of a slighter build will be more comfortable on a softer mattress because their lighter frame won’t sink into the support layers of a firmer mattress the same way a larger person would. Larger framed people should opt for a firmer mattress that has a higher profile to both aid in achieving spinal alignment and boost mattress longevity. Older people who may feel pressure points more easily may find that something with a more cushioned top, like the Stearns & Foster Estate Euro Top will keep them comfortable throughout the night.
