Here We Go To Sleepy's!!!! {A Visit to Sleepy's the Mattress Professionals in Des Plaines}

**Disclosure: We did receive a complimentary gift card to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% my own.

A few weeks ago, we visited Sleepy's in Glenview to learn about truly restful sleep patterns. We had a lovely experience and learned a lot! Recently, we visited the new Sleepy's location in Des Plaines for a little shopping adventure. Sleepy's has many new locations in our area, so we were definitely curious to see another one of their stores. Plus, we are still working on our sleep sanctuary, so it was time for a little shopping!

Welcome to Sleepy's!

Although a bit smaller, the Des Plaines store is as open and welcoming as the Glenview store. To me, the stores seem very well laid out and invite exploration. We were greeted when we entered the store but not stalked, which also made us feel comfortable. I get quite snippy when I feel salespeople hovering!

We quickly arrived to the location of our newest conquest: pillows! Choosing a perfect pillow at Sleepy's was very easy. They have quite a selection of pillows designed specifically for certain sleep habits. Looking for a memory pillow--they have it. Back sleeper, stomach sleeper, side sleeper--they have pillows perfect for you.

Sleepy's has a nice display that allows you to pull out each pillow so that you can feel it and try it out.

We choose the Sleep Options Cool Gel Memory Foam Pillow. I have never had a gel pillow before. I honestly cannot not truly describe how it feels. It is soft yet firm at the same time. Perfect!

After we chose our pillow and a couple of pillow covers, we went to check out. There was a little snafu with our gift card. However, the salesman was able to quickly rectify it. Issues do happen. However, the situation was corrected smoothly.

Our shopping experience at Sleepy's was as pleasant as one could expect. The freedom to try products was truly a welcome experience. Our salesperson was very friendly and attentive but not overwhelming. With how specialized Sleepy's is in regards to sleep products and identifying the perfect fit for your particular sleep pattern, don't forget to pay them a visit when you are looking for a new mattress!

Establishing Restful Sleep Patterns with Sleepy's

We all sleep. However, we do not all sleep well. There are different factors in our lives that affect how we rest. This time of year can be particularly challenging with the beginning of school and new activities. Restful sleep is so crucial to our well being and is really something that we need to prioritize. Proper rest is so crucial to our ability to focus and enjoy life.

Sleepy's, The Mattress Professionals, has recently moved into the Chicagoland area. Sleepy's takes its role of helping you sleep better very seriously and truly goes beyond selling mattresses. Recently, my daughter and I attended an event at the new Sleepy's in Glenview to meet with Sleepy's Sleep Ambassador, Nancy Rothstein, to learn about how to have a restful sleep just in time for the new school year. **You may recognize Nancy Rothstein as the author of My Daddy Snores.**

As the event began, I knew that I was going to obtain some useful knowledge geared towards improving my family's sleep habits. I do not always have what I would call a restful sleep. Judging by the way my husband and daughter are slow to move some mornings, I am sure that they don't as well. So, advice is truly welcome!

First, we learned how important quality sleep is. In fact, a recent University College London study shows how important it is for children to have regular bedtimes. Irregular bedtimes were found to disrupt a child's cognitive development. Sleep is so crucial!

Nancy Rothstein gave us some great advice that is going to provide a little challenge for us bloggers---she instructed us to put the technology away for at least 30 minutes before bed. Wait a minute--I watch TV to calm myself before bed???!!! Well, Nancy explained that our electronics emit light from the blue spectrum which actually stimulates melatonin and keeps us awake. Yikes! She even suggests using a nonelectric clock and powering down your phones until morning. I had no idea! We will need to work on this!
