The Art of Achieving a Good Night’s Sleep
While we all wish our sleeping experiences were that of blissfully floating on a cloud, life sometimes doesn’t deliver, and the consequences of not getting a good night’s sleep can quickly add up. As scientists learn more about the importance of rest, it’s been proven that waking up with a stiff neck or back pain can have detrimental effects on one’s day and overall health as time goes by. Unfortunately, mattresses from mainstream manufacturers can wear out quickly, leading to discomfort. It seems they just don’t make mattresses the way they used to. Or do they?
Mary Domito, locally known as Mattress Mary, is a 20- year industry veteran in the field of getting a good night’s sleep. She worked corporate management for a large mattress chain in California before moving to Taos 13 years ago and opening Sleep Sanctuary. The guiding principles that propelled her stores to become lauded local businesses—integrity and quality— are the same principles with which she and business partner/longtime mattress industry veteran Sharon Scott emphasize at Sleep & Dream, Santa Fe’s locally owned luxury bed store which offers high quality mattresses and bedding accessories.
“Opening Sleep & Dream is a vision we’ve had for quite some time after assessing the retail mattress landscape,” Domito relates. Scott adds: “The quality is not just in the giant name brands. We provide a better shopping experience to our customers, as well as offer a more natural product.”
‘More natural’ aren’t words Domito and Scott take lightly. The brands of mattresses they carry—including Hästens, Vispring, Hypnos, Posh+Lavish and Sol Bed-In-A-Box—use natural materials like wool, cotton, horsetail, camel hair, silk and latex to create state-of-the-art mattresses with longer wear-ability. “These multi-generational owned and operated mattress companies are making mattresses the way they used to: by using nature’s own materials,” shares Scott.
The Swedish company Hästens has boasted handcrafted beds made from ethically-sourced natural materials since 1852. Similarly, for over a century, Britain’s Vispring and Hypnos have been using the finest materials nature can offer to refine the balance between spring size, tension and resilience. California’s Posh+Lavish has engineered mattresses that ingeniously address the spine’s need for comfort and support. Lastly, Sol Bed-In-ABox mattresses are designed for ease and resiliency, and can be shipped anywhere within the contiguous 48 states.
“Ninety percent of the product on our floor is all-natural,” Domito describes. “It’s sad to hear people say, ‘I spent $4,000 on my mattress and now it’s sagging just a few years later.’” Domito explains how most mattresses are made of synthetic foam which can quickly break down. Sleep & Dream’s brands incorporate materials that are designed by nature to last longer and endure. In fact, even the fire-retardant casing is made of naturally sourced wool.
WE WANT TO FIND THE BEST FIT FOR YOUR BODY, SLEEPING HABITS AND PREFERENCES
“I would challenge anyone to tell me they’re at the top of their game when they haven’t had a good night’s sleep,” Domito asserts. “Getting good sleep is important on so many levels. How vital or critical is the mattress? It’s where you’re laying your body. If you wake up sore, it affects your wellness. The difference with our mattresses is that they do support the body over time.”
What can buyers do to ensure they are buying the right mattress for their body? Domito and Scott say the most common mistake is a lack of desire to lay down and try out a mattress. When it comes to a purchase as important and long-lasting as a bed, giving a prospective mattress a ‘test rest’ is paramount.
Regarding spending, there are those who believe getting the least expensive mattress possible is the best deal, while others believe the costliest bed must necessarily be the finest. While buying a mattress in one’s budget is an important consideration, price isn’t always indicative of the right fit. In fact, when new customers come in to Sleep & Dream, Domito and Scott talk to them for a while to determine any sleeping issues, as well as to discern sleep habits and needs, before even beginning to lay on mattresses.
“This is your sleep and health!” Domito exclaims. Scott adds: “We want to find the best fit for your body, sleeping habits and preferences.”
Do they make mattresses the way they used to? Absolutely! You just have to know where to look in order to discover the hidden treasures of a greats night’s rest.
