A few weeks ago the team at Soaring Heart took a trip to beautiful San Juan Island to take some new photos of our equally beautiful organic futons. We were treated to the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer. As they say, location, location, location.
Are you considering an adjustable bed? Maybe you're weighing your options - traditional vs. adjustable. It wasn't long ago that an adjustable bed was just a hospital bed, and that's pretty much the only place you saw them; hospitals. But now they are becoming more popular and we've started fielding a lot of questions about them.
Our mattresses - even our innnersprings - work with adjustable beds, so we thought it would be a good idea to help our customers make an informed decision with a simple list of pros and cons.

Think your dorm will need a bit of a makeover, the extremely peppy Mr. Kate (not a typo) has some great tips for simple, inexpensive dorm DIY projects to quickly spruce things up. Warning: there is theme song/musical number thing in the beginning. As I said, she is peppy.
A no-flip mattress is a legend, a veritable El Dorado of the mattress world. That is to say, not a reality. Flipping a mattress is a pain to the consumer--they're heavy, they're ungainly. Making a mattress that is the same on both sides, i.e. twice as much material, is a pain to the manufacturer--they are more difficult to make and can't be as fluffy. So, how does one take this problem on and attempt to solve it? there are three philosophies.
The effects of sleep seem pretty obvious; tired, dragging feet, maybe grumpiness. However, sleep isn't so simple and you'd be surprised just how many things sleep,or lack thereof, affects. For example...
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.
Small spaces are great--they're economical, easy to manage, and allow you to live where the action is without paying the premium. With these six tips, not only will you be saving on your heating bill, you'll be doing it in style and with surprising legroom.
We are very excited to introduce our brand new organic innerspring mattress handcrafted using a unique, hand-turned, coil design and over 70lbs of organic material to give you a sleeping experience unlike any other.
Welcome Soaring Heart Scholarship winner, April Nishimura!
Every year Soaring Heart does its best to support a variety of students working to help our community sleep better.
This weekend, for every group that visits our showroom in Fremont and tests a bed, we will donate a brand new handcrafted pillow to the Fisher House - an organization that provides accommodations for families of veterans being treated for injuries.
An organic mattress isn’t complete until it is wrapped in beautiful organic bedding. Silky-soft sheets; cool, crisp pillow cases; elegant and stylish duvet covers; and colorful shams mix and match to create a look that is uniquely yours. Clothes, as they say, make the man--and duvet covers make the bed.
That is why we are pleased to announce, just in time for summer, three lines in our recently-expanded bedding department: Coyuchi, Green Living Organics, and Dream Design.
Coyuchi was founded 20 years ago in Point Reyes Station, a small, rustic town on the Northern California coast. There, surrounded by ocean and forest, beach and bluff, they created a line of home textiles rooted in nature. Their signature bedding, made from 100% certified organic cotton, soon earned a loyal following among people who nurture a connection to the natural world in their lives and in their homes.
Green Living Organics, (glo), believes in the simple concept of "do well by doing good." With glo, you have a promise that their bed, bath, and baby products have been made in ways that are both socially and environmentally responsible.
glo has a long-term commitment to sustainable farming. All of their cotton is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. It is grown and hand-picked by over 6,500 family farmers in five states in India.
Dream Designs is a natural lifestyle business in Vancouver, Canada, currently in their fourth decade of operation. Their talented team of designers and seamstresses work with premium organic and natural materials and apply meticulous attention to detail to create beautiful, useful, and durable products for the home.
What a blast! With a team of volunteers from Navos and Starbucks we built and delivered 80 of our all organic, shredded latex pillows to the kids at the Seattle Children's Home and Burien's Ruth Dykeman Children's Center. Founded in 1884 the Seattle Children's Home is now part of King County's Navos Mental Health Services group. In an astounding 55 minutes our volunteers built pillows, wrote gift cards and packaged all our pillows for delivery. (Maybe the caffeine helped our efficiency?)
Our kudos to the staff at Navos for all the great work they do to support so many kids in transition treatment. At Soaring Heart we believe we all sleep better knowing we are part of healthy, caring communities. By providing the kids at Navos a brand new pillow we hope everyone on these kids' care teams will feel their hearts soar! Sleep well.
