My husband and I have needed a new mattress for a very long time. But everyone knows how much fun it is to mattress shop … NOT! And I’m not just talking about dreading the investment in time, but in money as well. We were set to start shopping for a new one right before we took in our foster daughters, but then they joined the family and priorities shifted – in regards to our time and our money – and here we are almost 7 years later with a mattress that is now over 15 years old. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that fact. A few weeks ago, I decided the time was now though, because we officially have a broken spring and neither of us is sleeping well.
I’m a researcher by nature. I research everything to make sure I am getting the best product or service my money can buy. To say I’ve had a lot of time to research mattresses is an understatement to say the least … 7 years to be exact. The one company that has consistently gotten rave reviews is Luuf beds. And, it wasn’t just the rave reviews that sold me on Luuf beds, or the number of famous athletes that also own and love them, but the fact that they are 100% hand-crafted in the USA and sourced using local American made components that come with multiple safety certifications signed the deal for me.
As an environmental consultant by day, these safety certifications actually mean a lot to me. I’m talking certifications that guarantee that the fabrics and foams are free of harsh chemicals and carcinogens (like PBDEs, ozone depleters, and heavy metals). This is not something a lot of mattress companies can say in today’s era of globalization, leaving many mattresses full of chemicals that should be nowhere near your body, and especially your children’s bodies. Having a safe mattress should be at the top of everyone’s checklist when they find themselves in the market for new ones.
So naturally, when the opportunity came up for me to test and review Luuf mattresses for Macaroni KID, I couldn’t jump on it fast enough. Not only was I able to test one for my husband and myself, but we also got them for the girls as well. Bonus! Picking out the mattresses was so easy, too. They have options for adults with the Luuf Mattress (Original, Luxury Line, 3 firmness options) and the Simplicity Mattress (which is brand new and made for all sleep positions and is their most affordable adult bed, starting at just $599). As for the kids, they have the Little Luuf – a children’s mattress that is safe, non-toxic, and made just for kids and their growing bodies.
They literally have a bed for every individual or couple, comfort preference, and sleep need. I was able to go to the Luuf beds website and follow the online guide to determine the best mattresses to meet my family’s needs. They also have sleep experts ready to take your call and walk you through the process of choosing the right mattress, if you need additional help. So much easier than having to go from store to store and deal with pushy salespeople who usually only have their bottom line in mind, not the investment you are about to make for your family’s health and well-being for the next several years. Once the order was placed, we received our mattresses in a matter of days right to our front door, ready to be unboxed, set up, and enjoyed.

We are a 2-parent, full-time working family with 2 young girls who are very active in sports and dance. With our crazy, busy lives, not getting good sleep was effecting our minds, bodies, and spirits. I really had no idea how much we were suffering from not getting the really good sleep a person needs to stay healthy and happy, until we slept on our new Luuf mattresses for the first few nights. My husband and I are now waking up feeling genuinely well-rested and free from a lot of the aches and pains our 51-year-old bodies were feeling from sleeping on our old, worn-out mattress. I have never been a good sleeper, even as a child. But now I realize, it may have been the mattress I was sleeping on all along.
And our girls are actually sleeping sounder and longer as well, which is not typical due to the effects of being in foster care in their early years. Our youngest slept the entire first night in her new bed and woke up happy to report no bad dreams. To say that that makes this momma’s heart happy is more than I could ever expect from something like getting a new bed. Like I said earlier, the right mattress truly helps your mind, body, and spirit.

We are also a family that likes to spend time in our big king-size bed for more than just sleep. I do a lot of my Macaroni KID work in bed because it’s a quiet place I can go and focus on the task at hand. I also use it as my getaway after a long day of working, taking care of kids, and just the normal stresses of life. I have always found great comfort in lying in bed and reading a good book to ease the worries and troubles of the day. At times, it’s a place of safety for our girls when my husband is working lots of overtime and not home to “protect” us all at night. We also love to watch a good movie there on one of those lazy Sunday afternoons we get once in a blue moon.
