Bunkie Boards

2010-10-08T10:35:00.001-07:00

I just had a question regarding the bunkie boards. I was wondering if they can be used with a regular twin bed frame instead of using a box spring. My daughter is small and it would be nice to have her mattress lower down.

I am trying to buy a bed ( boxspring, mattress, and frame). I was looking at something called a Jefferson Bed (Full). Is this a mattress, boxspring, and frame, or is it just a headboard and footboard?

MG of Maryland asks:

My husband & I are looking into buying a mattress from your company but the problem is I am not sure which mattress would be best for us. I have serious back problems & in a few weeks I am having surgery. Can you please help meto figure out what would be the best purchase for us.

MJ responds:

First, we would strongly advise that you visit a store location and spend some time laying on various mattresses. It is very difficult to recommend the best type of mattress for your injury without knowing more but we can offer a few pointers when shopping:

You have to consider not only your back injury but also your sleeping position when choosing a mattress. Choose a mattress that conforms to body allowing your spine to align in it's natural position. Talk to your doctor about the type of support your back will need after surgery and find a mattress that offers that support.

DW of Delaware ask:

If I ordered a new mattress with a frame can you take apart old bed frame (headboard from rails) and replace new frame in place and I would have remove old rails from premises myself?

MJ responds:

You will need to take apart and remove the old rails yourself. We can certainly set up the new frame for you.

AE of Pennsylvania asks:

What is the difference between a standard frame and an upgraded frame? Please let me know because I am very interested in buying one od your beds. Just to ley you know you have very good deals!

MJ repsonds:

Thank you! We do offer very low prices on quality name brand mattresses. To answer your question the major difference between the two frames is that the upgraded frame is manufactured with a heavier, sturdier steel to endure more weight.

SH of Washington D.C. asks:

Does someone have to be home for the delivery or can you just have the drivers leave the merchandise on the porch?

We do like for an adult to be home to sign for the delivery. In certain cases, we can leave the merchandise outside of the home with a signed letter from the customer stating that's it is okay to do so.

Are All King Boxsprings Split?

2010-03-11T07:21:00.000-08:00

W.H. of Maryland asks:

I am trying to purchase a new king size pillow top mattress and box spring. I cannot seem to find a split king box spring in your website. Do you carry a split king box spring?

M.J. responds:

Actually all king size foundations are split. A king size set includes a 76" wide by 80" long mattress and two 39" wide by 80" long boxsprings/foundations. When ordering a king size set on www.sleephappens.com, simply chose standard boxsprings or low profile boxsprings (low profile boxsprings are only 5 inches in height as opposed to 9 inches) both options automatically come split.

One Box Spring and Two mattresses. Does the trundle unit pop up and does it fit under the daybed?

MJ Responds:

You don't need boxsprings for the Sarah Daybed. You only need two mattresses. The trundle unit fits under the day bed and has the ability to pop up when pulled out from under the bed.

I Want a Mattress with Lumbar Support

2010-01-20T07:19:00.000-08:00

A. R. writes:

I visited a mattress warehouse when I was out of town and I tried a mattress that the salesman said had lumbar support. I'm trying to find that mattress brand online but I'm having trouble. Which mattress lines specifically offer lumbar support?

M.J. of SleepHappens.com responds:

Lumbar support simply means that the mattress offers back support. All mattresses offer back support to some degree but the amount of support varies by model, manufacturer, and most importantly, the individual sleeping on the mattress. Generally, higher quality brand name mattresses offer better lumbar support. I suggest that you look at Sealy Posturepedic, Simmons BeautyRest, Serta Perfect Sleeper, and Tempurpedic brands to find the best mattress for you. Our website, www.sleephappens.com, carries all four lines.

What Do You Mean by a Bed?

I am looking at the Kimberly Aspen bed, and have a few questions. The first question is whether or not the mattress comes with a boxspring? Also, I'm assuming that the bedding shown in the products picture isn't included.

MJ of Sleephappens.com responds:

The Kimberly Aspen bed does not include a mattress or boxspring. The Kimberly Aspen bed is actually the headboard, footboard, and rails shown in the picture. On our website, http://www.sleephappens.com/, a "bed" refers to the furniture that you put a mattress and boxspring on, whereas a "mattress set" refers to the actual mattress and boxspring.

In the mattress industry, "bedding" refers to a mattress and/or boxspring. However, I assume that you are referring to the comforter set that appears in the picture. To answer your question, the comforter set is not included.
