Snooze

Went into this store today looking for a matress. Store is clean and presentable. They were not that busy and i was in there for about 45mins trying different beds. Not one staff member greeted me or approached me. They just stood around. I had to pass 2 staff members on 2 separate occasions that were standing in the walkway between beds. Not a word. I figured it would be too much trouble for them so i walked around the corner to Forty Winks and bought a matress. It came with a discount, free delivery, and staff who did not just stand around like stunned mullets.

Knowing nothing about the different types of beds out there, I wondered into my fourth bed shop Snooze, suddenly feeling very snoozy myself. Entering the airconditioning… great stuff.
I met a nice gentleman who asked me if I needed any help… so I replied help. The poor guy didn’t know what he was getting into. He started asking me all these questions about beds, looking at the blank expression on my face I decided I would tell him the truth… I don’t know anything about a bed. I know that I need it to feel not too hard but not too soft. I knew I wanted one with a warranty. that’s about it. No fancy stuff like tassles along the edges…
He mentioned a few things to me:
He was a specially trained sleep consultant (huh?)
Snooze has been around for 30 years (I guess that’s kind of good)
Taking away this information, I figured it was gibberish for ‘I know what I’m talking about fool, listen to me when I tell you this bed is da bomb’. We found a nice mattress, a mix between inner spring and latex, we differentiated between frames and ensembles, we differentiated the types of wood?
Anyway, I walked out of there thinking ‘the price is the same as the others, I have to think about this’ but I definetely learnt a lot of stuff about beds, and how complex they are. Little organisms they are really… aren’t they. No… they’re just beds.
Definetely check out a Snooze shop if you are hopeless about beds like I am, I guarantee you’ll at least learn something, to better arm yourself at bed negotiation. It’s a crazy world out there. Information is power! Or in this case, Snooze is power!
