Did you know that nearly a third of Americans suffer from sleep deprivation? Despite experts recommending that adults sleep at least 8 hours, many get 6 hours a night or less. Summer is a time of change, and while no one denies having the sun on the horizon is a good thing it could be negatively effecting your sleep.
This weekend we held an event at our Bellevue showroom to celebrate our past recipients of the Soaring Heart Sleep Sponsorship, which goes to a Bastyr student studying naturopathic medicine. This year’s recipient will be announced soon and we wanted to take the time to reconnect with our past grads!

Those few precious hours of sleep you do get are more akin to a constantly interrupted nap than any type of actual, restful sleep. It can be frustrating beyond measure for both parents, but especially mom. Until she gets into a regular cycle of pumping breast milk so dad can help out and give her that extra sleep she so desperately needs, making sure that tiny wonder gets all the nutrients required to stay healthy and grow up to be big and strong is entirely up to her.

One thing we know at Soaring Heart is that great sleep can't be taken for granted. So today we're pleased to announce our second annual "Soaring Heart Scholarship" recipient at Bastyr University - Brian Kunakom. Brian is now completing his third year of studies in the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program here in Seattle.
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.
