Olympia Bed Store

If I could give the owners, the staff, and their products more stars, I would.nnShort version: Amazing people, amazing products - I mourn for this mattress when I am away from home. Go, check them out - even if all you do is walk around the showroom and see what they offer, you'll have a great experience!nn((Pro-tip for artists and crafters - they sell raw materials on their website))nnLonger version below - and yes, it is very wordy :DnnSleep is insanely important, and how you sleep determines (for me) if that use of time was worth it. I've researched all kinds of mattresses for the last few years, because I'm an awesome nerd, and the information came in handy when we had a sudden need (aka mold sucks). I have chemical and scent sensitivities, so a natural mattress was a dream, but not something we expected to be seriously considering purchasing so quickly until the need arose. Wool is a really cool fire-resistant fiber, and allows the mattress to not need the otherwise required fire retardant additives to the mattress material - and many other benefits, talk to HLO for more :).nnWhen my partner and I visited Holy Lamb we never felt pressure about the experience - which is a complete rarity in the land of mattress shopping. The staff are wonderful people who have really interesting knowledge (and are often artists - Holy Lamb has hosted cool Arts Walk things for the last few years I believe!).nnWhen you visit, tell the nice people what you want - help them help you pick the right bed - and don't feel weird about asking questions! We had particular needs (help with air/moisture movement in a small space, ability to fold the mattress into a couch shape, not too heavy to be moved by one person, etc) and they worked with us to find a fantastic solution. Have I praised the staff and owners enough? Don't worry - there is more!nnOn the last visit, my partner and I ended up staying for 3 hours, trying out different combinations of mattress layers to find out which ones we liked. Turns out some felt good at first, and then less as we lay there - and some felt good at first, and over a little bit of time got even better. Taking the time is worth in, no matter where you decide to mattress shop! One of the owners was in that day, and we had some great conversations while my partner and I laid about - he is a wealth of truly fascinating information - and he knew just when to give us space.nnAfter our visits, in early February we ordered a latex Shikibuton and a quilted wool topper + two moisture barrier layers. Then, the GIANT SNOWSTORM started showing up - and the owner stayed late in the beginning of the February snowstorm this year so that we could pick up our mattress at the store.nnSeriously - stayed late. We had a hard time getting out of Downtown, that's how late - I cannot explain how much we appreciated (and always will) that particular act of kindness. Due to *circumstances*, we'd been sleeping on a floor for a few weeks so we REALLY wanted the mattress before the snow hit!nnIt's been about 6 months now, and what I said in the tl;dr above is true - sleeping elsewhere is almost always a letdown, because of how great this mattress combo is. I feel more rested, more comfortable, and wake up less sore sleeping on this mattress - and all our other requests were met as well. How often can you say that?nnVisit, check them out - and seriously consider them when you need a new mattress!nnThank you for reading :D

Amazing products and even more amazing people who work here. Thank you for what you do and for being you.
