A few weeks ago for Memorial Day, we decided to try something different than the standard sale. For every person who came into our Seattle showroom, we donated one of our all-organic Shredded Latex Pillows to the Fisher House - an organization that provides accommodations for families of veterans being treated for injuries. As a company that makes organic mattresses and bedding, this seemed like the natural way for us to show our support.
So, that morning, we stacked the pillows in the window; each person who visited us got to throw a pillow onto the pile and write a note to be delivered along with them if they wished. By the end of the day we had over two dozen pillows teetering next to the door, threatening passersby with an imminent and fluffy avalanche. Last week, we had the honor of delivering them to this very worthy cause.
Jason Schaefer, our Sales Manager and an Iraq War Veteran, was joined by our Marketing Manager Catherine Berry, (whose son is currently serving) in delivering the pillows. As the Soaring Heart van pulled up, they were greeted by Fisher House Acting Manager Michelle Power and Assistant Manager Carrie Barnhart, who helped them unload the boxes and place the pillows in their new home, where they will hopefully bring some deserved rest and relaxation to the people using them.

Whether you're shopping online or in person - shopping local businesses like ours really, really helps. While it's weird for us to encourage shoppers to stay away from Black Friday, Cyber Monday - and even Small Business Saturday - crowds this year - we do want you to know we are open for business each and every day. We take appointments, we limit store capacity, and we do everything we can to keep you and our team safe - 365 days a year.
Yes, it's true - we have opened a new store in downtown Edmonds, WA - right on Main St., two blocks up from the ferry terminal. COVID may have taken some of the wind out of our sales the last few months - but we remain optimistic about the need for healthy, organic sleep - as well as the joys of window shopping!
