and welcome back to Houston life along
with good nutrition and exercise sleep
is now recognized as an important
contributor to good health
finding that perfect mattress though can
be tricky but what for shopping for one
can be daunting as well and new mattress
department at Star Furniture is focusing
on comfort and low stress for this
important purchase we are standing in
Starr furnitures brand-new newly
unveiled mattress Department Tim Bryan
director of interior design for Starr
furniture thanks so much for inviting me
over today you know why did you guys
want to change the concept here in the
mattress department well first of all I
wanted to start out with the applause to
our product development and concept team
you know we we've been in the market for
a long time and in the business a long
time and in the industry it can be very
daunting going into a retail store and
having somebody follow you around or
maybe a little lighting is just so
bright I don't know if you shop for
mattresses in the past but when you lie
down on bedding you can have a light
right in your eyes and you can have
somebody asking you a ton of questions
and it's very invasive to your
experience it's just not what it should
be
and you want it to be comfortable let's
face it it's not fun shopping for a
mattress it's not something that you
want to do all the time and boy do we
spend a lot of time on the mattress so
the one that we choose needs to be the
right one it needs to be the perfect one
and I think if we create a better
experience I think the customer is more
apt to spend more time to make sure that
they're fitted properly rather than to
go to maybe an online option a lot of
times we feel like maybe they go to the
online option because they are being
followed around and so they want to get
in and get out and sometimes mistakes
happen from that and I love the fact
that I can come in here and browse and
feel comfortable to go kind of
Goldilocks style mattress to mattress
right to find the right one but I have
to say what really is super inviting in
this space not only the lighting but
that video of that River just making me
want to go take a nap I love it thanks
for noticing that Cortney you know
that's a 40-foot wall of very serene
projection that real
allows our guests to come in and really
get involved into the process and just
relax
and what I think is great too when we
are kind of looking at this process and
your your sales associates are here to
help us and by the way specifically
trained in this department completely
and thoroughly trained to the product to
the specs of the product actually the
comfort story everything about what
should be in this category if they're
completely trained so they're not going
to be pouncing on you they're gonna be
there to answer product information and
questions but they're also there just to
make sure that you're being guided
through properly and Tim what I think is
great is not only it's not only
important to have the right mattress
that we're sleeping on but you say this
actually starts with something else the
pillow the pillow so you know if you
think about it common sense you're from
your shoulder all the way up to the head
needs to have the proper support some
people sleep on their side some people
on their back some on their stomach so
we'll start you off with the correct
pillow to make sure that we're aligning
the rest of your body with your head so
that you have a great experience walking
into the department I think it's great I
mean it's super inviting this space is
very relaxing you can definitely see a
difference in the lighting and the mood
on this side of the store and all we
need to do feel comfortable and browse
and come in and say I'm just looking I
just need to find the perfect mattress
you know Courtney and you you struck on
something the mood right so imagine when
you go into a restaurant and it's dimly
lit and there's an emotion that comes
over you to where you feel like I'm in
the right place right you haven't even
tasted the food yet but you feel
comfortable that's what we provide here
at Starr we're gonna give you that
comfort so that when you walk in you can
let your guard down be relaxed know that
somebody's on site to answer questions
but also be comfortable the lighting is
lowered you've had the projection screen
and you have many many options to choose
from and there's no time limit
