We Came for Ice Cream… and Left with the Mattress of Our Dreams!
So, plot twist: we rolled up to City Mattress last week thinking there might be ice cream involved (long story… maybe just wishful thinking?). Turns out, no sweet frozen treats—but we did leave today with something way cooler: a full luxury sleep setup that we actually feel great about.
Last week, we did a bit of mattress recon—tried out a few options, then literally decided to “sleep on it” (pun very much intended). Let’s be real, shopping for a high-end mattress when you’re exhausted from the workweek is not ideal. Especially when you’re looking at price tags in the $5k+ range before the extras like a box spring, adjustable base, and protection accessories.
But here's where the story gets good.
We went back today to pull the trigger, and it was a completely different experience from the typical high-pressure sales circus. No pushy tactics, no sleazy upsells. Just honest help from a team that clearly knew their stuff. Our sales rep—code name “Kevin” at the Coral Springs store—was fantastic. He asked thoughtful questions about how we sleep and what we were looking for (no easy task with two people and two sets of preferences), and nailed it with his suggestions.
We ended up going with:
A 100% latex Karma Lux mattress by PranaSleep
A king-size adjustable frame (with the features we wanted, not the price we feared)
A cooling, high-quality mattress protector
And the price? Less than the original mattress alone. We’re talking about what must be a 45% total discount—which is nearly unheard of in this industry.
The store itself was super clean, well-organized, and totally transparent—prices were clear, specs were listed, and every bed was open for testing. Honestly, you just don’t get this kind of experience everywhere, no matter what the economy looks like.
And no, we’re not name-dropping Kevin to make his life difficult—he deserves some peace and quiet without a stampede of folks right before closing time. But let’s just say: if you know, you know.
Bottom line: this wasn’t just a mattress purchase. It was an exceptional buying experience from start to finish. We went in looking for answers and came out with the best sleep investment we’ve ever made.

Read moreWe are happy with our purchase, but there were problems along the way. Fortunately all issues were corrected by City Mattress in the end. We walked into the City Mattress showroom and we were greeted by a very knowledgeable and informative salesman who showed us many of our options. We decided on a new bed and arranged for delivery 2 days later. Selecting our new bed in the showroom was complicated because of the many options available. It was all made easy by the expert salesman. On the day of delivery, I saw an email asking me to call City Mattress about my delivery. I don't know why they didn't call me and just leave a message. Emailing seemed like an odd way to contact me for something like this. I called and it turned out my address was incorrect on their order. I gave them the right address and received a 2 hour delivery window. The set-up team arrived on time and proceeded to install our new bed. The installer asked me if I was keeping my old bedrail. I was not keeping it and had discussed this with my salesman how the new bed would hook to my existing headboard. The installer showed me that the order did not include the bracket that would be needed for my headboard. I called the delivery department and they could not bring the bracket to complete the job until the next day. I. The next day, I received a 2-hour delivery window that was missed. I talked to the delivery department again and was given another window. That window was also missed. I had to call again and was assured the driver would be here within one hour. Once the set-up team arrived, they installed the bracket quickly and finally completed my order. The process took a lot of follow-up on my part that ideally shouldn't have been necessary. The good news is we are enjoying...
Read moreFor the past year I had been looking for a new mattress as I had been experiencing bad back pain every time I slept. This was due to sleeping on a sagging mattress for 3 months while I stayed at a relative's house. As a stomach sleeper this put a lot of pressure on my lower back and caused me pain during sleep and throughout the day.
Every mattress I slept on afterwards still caused me pain. I was told that I would need to change my sleeping style. This was not easy for me as I've been sleeping on my stomach for my whole life. I refused to believe that I had to change my sleeping style and that the right mattress would correct my spinal alignment and back pain.
After going through 3 mattresses from Macy's and direct to consumer online stores I decided to give City Mattress a shot. I went to the City Mattress in Coral Springs and explained my background to Angela and Roberto. They were very helpful and acted more as a mattress consultant rather then a salesman. They both agreed that the mattress I needed was a PranaSleep latex mattress. They explained the latex would relieve pressure points like memory foam, but would support my spine better since latex does not sink in like memory foam.
I then contacted Katie, the director of sales for PranaSleep. She listened to my needs and budget and recommended the PranaSleep Vinyasa all latex mattress. I decided to purchase the Vinyasa. After sleeping on it, it's not only very comfortable but it has completely removed my back pain.
It took a year of searching but with the help of City Mattres I finally found a mattress that would alleviate my back pain and improve my quality of life. Thanks...
