The 5 Best Mattress Stores in Berkeley

So you’re one of those people who love to idle time away in bed or would kill for an extra 30 minutes under the covers in the morning. You’re not alone.

Statistics show that 40% of Americans are sleep deprived and 70% of kids get less than the recommended amount. That could be the difference between being fully present or not in a meeting. It could also be the difference between your child feeling confident in subject matters that are a tad more challenging.

Since you’re in need of a restful, reinvigorating sleep to be that all-star, then you better find a mattress with exceptional comfort and support to make the best of your time in dreamland.

Needless to say, your mattress experiences a lot of activity over 5-15 years. One of the first signs that it needs replacing is visible dips, hammocking and pain in the morning or throughout the night.

Has the time come for a new mattress? Wondering where you can buy one in the Bay Area that will impress you?

We dug deep to find the best mattress stores in and around Berkeley that offer exception sleep products…most of them natural and healthy.
