The Soma Experience: No Retail Games

As a consumer I’m forever looking for the deal as are millions of consumers who shop for high quality products like organic mattresses, appliances, cars, clothing, electronics, phones, etc…Does a true steal deal really exist?

For the most part no. The retail price game has been around for generations take the wholesale cost times it by 4 to 5 and offer 40-50 percent off the inflated prices. This creates an illusion of savings for the consumer that simply does not exist. Since the new management has come into effect our focus has been not to put the emphasis on the price of a mattress instead feature the quality and how other organic mattresses can compliment the each persons individual sleep needs and their budget without the focal point being about money. Our sleep consultants instead feature the health benefits and the longevity of our quality natural and organic sleep products while offering one low price for everything in our store without the confusion of pricing discounts, volume buys, so-called cash deals, and so on.

We have firmly always believed that we have a mattress or sleep product for everybody from mattresses, power bases (adjustable beds), pillows, duvets, organic sheets, etc….

Backed by over 22 years in the mattress and sleep specialty industry Soma provides consumers with a unique experience when shopping for a healthier mattress and sleep experience. We are building relationships with our customers which is one of our founding principles and has helped us grow into Toronto’s leading retailer for organic mattresses and sleep products. Our referral program with our customers is evidence of that.

Why Sleep and Wellness are Linked.

Health consequences from not receiving enough quality hours of sleep anything less than 7 hours or what’s classified as poor sleep can involve the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems. You should not let your life no matter how busy it is interfere with a good night’s sleep, between 70-100 million North Americans suffer from various chronic sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea or insomnia.

An insufficient amount of sleep can cause hunger hormones to go out of control. Several studies have proven Leptin is lowered and ghrelin is raised. Which basically means you feel hungry when you shouldn’t be and tend to eat. This hormonal imbalance can lead to bad food choices and cause future obesity. Clinical studies have shown that patients with sleep apnoea or obstructive breathing problems while sleeping tend to have higher percentages of cholesterol, protein, and saturated fat in their diets.

Those with fewer than 7 hours sleep are also more likely to become diabetic given the poor diet and impaired glucose levels. Heart disease is more likely to strike as well with 5 or fewer hours of sleep as well obstructive sleep apnoea can also lead to high blood pressure and hypertension. Weight plays a role in a lot of these condition so losing and maintaining a healthy weight is vital.

Now obviously these are the worst cases that result from abusing your hours of sleep that are needed but at the very least everyone needs to be aware of the consequences for ourselves and our children. A conscious effort must be put forth to avoid other problems as low self esteem, depression, mental distress, even alcohol use which of course can lead to driving drowsy/driving impaired. Behaviour can even be affected by insomnia or sleep related illness especially in children.

So in the end we all should put more thought into our diet, quality sleep routine, and exercise. Sometimes lack of sleep can be related to chemical sensitivity, comfort firmness, support with your mattress an so on…It is very important that your sleep environment is set up in a way that will allow for a deep night’s sleep because just going to bed early will not ensure the proper rest needed for rejuvenation that will help achieve optimal health.

At Soma Sleep and Wellness that is why we combine sleep and wellness of being. From our sleep consultants in our mattress and bedding showroom to our wellness professionals in our on site clinic. Our goal is always to provide our clients with the knowledge and the products to ensure the most rested and peaceful night’s sleep.
