Wow! So glad we chose to come mattress shop here…read more We'd previously bought a mattress at Sit N Sleep in Oxnard (also good experience), but found this place to have bigger showroom. Mike (the stores namesake) helped us find 3 different mattresses. He was so efficient and immediately understood who we were as customers and catered to our needs. Check out was quick and easy with Lauren. Start to finish an excellent experience and I highly recommend.

BUYER BEWARE: Mattress Mike's has a NO-RETURN, NO-EXCHANGE…read morepolicy -- make sure you understand that before you buy. Our family had been loyal customers of Mattress Mike's for about 20 years. Until now. We recently purchased a $3,700 Aireloom mattress after explaining very clearly what we needed. I have hip and shoulder pain that interferes with my sleep, and my husband has back pain. We were looking for a mattress that would help alleviate those problems. The mattress recommended to us turned out to be far too firm. My hip pain is now worse than it was on our old mattress. This is by far the most expensive mattress we have ever owned -- and unfortunately, also the most uncomfortable. We also discovered problems we couldn't possibly have known from lying on it briefly in the showroom: it sleeps very hot; it is extraordinarily heavy and stiff; it is difficult to put sheets on; and the top slopes downward several inches around the edges, reducing the usable sleeping surface. But here is the part I most want other customers to know: No one told us before we purchased the mattress that Mattress Mike's offers NO comfort trial, NO returns and NO exchanges. We discovered that only afterward, when we looked closely at the receipt we were handed after the purchase. Printed at the bottom was: "Unfortunately we DO NOT offer comfort or sleep trials. NO Returns or Exchanges." Had we been clearly told this before spending $3,700, it absolutely would have affected our decision to buy the mattress there. I contacted Mike soon after we realized the mattress wasn't working for us and have now spoken with him several times. His proposed solution was not a return or even an exchange for a more suitable mattress. Instead, he suggested that we purchase an approximately $1,800 Aireloom topper plus $300 bamboo sheets to make the mattress softer and cooler. So after spending $3,700 on a mattress we couldn't comfortably sleep on, the proposed remedy was to spend another $2,100 at Mattress Mike's trying to make it work. We declined. I understand that a business can establish its own policies. But an absolute NO RETURN / NO EXCHANGE / NO COMFORT TRIAL policy on something as expensive -- and as impossible to fully evaluate in a showroom -- as a mattress is something customers should be clearly told before they pay, not discover afterward on their receipt. A no return policy is NOT the industry standard; call around and you will see. After approximately 20 years as customers, we will no longer shop at Mattress Mike's. If you are considering buying a mattress here, my advice is simple: Ask about the return and exchange policy before you purchase, and get the answer in writing. I wish someone had told us.

We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

I tried to purchase bed sheets from Cabana for my 12th anniversary. I needed the best…read more I decided to purchase local versus the Internet, as I needed a knowledgeable person. Over several days I engaged in 3 conversations with a Cabana salesperson. She recommended their house brand (Matouk) and assured me Matouk was a "best seller" and "Cabana carried nothing but the best". Over subsequent conversations it was clear that the salesperson could not answer basic questions such as "why is Matouk your best seller?" I prompted her to discuss thread counts and cotton types, but she was mostly stumped. She eventually admitted that she never used a Matouk product. I had the impression that she had never used a fine linen product. I eventually found a sell on the Internet with a tremendous amount of knowledge that made me feel safe in my decision. I also felt like I learned something, other than what is the "best seller". I spent 15 minutes on the phone with an expert and made the decision....that was a savings when you consider I got nowhere with Cabana in over an hour of discussions and research. I spent slightly more, approximately $1000, on the Internet than I would have spent at Cabana, but for my 12th anniversary I needed to be 100% certain that I would not be disappointed. I also felt better telling my partner all about the type of cotton, thread count, etc., rather than simply saying "happy anniversary, the Sales person told me it is there best seller".

Sofia set clear expectations regarding the process and timeline of when our sofa would be picked up, re-upholstered, and delivered back to us.

Faitell Attractions, opened during the pandemic, is a REVELATION…read more The only reason I stumbled across the store was my passion for coconut frozen yogurt, which Yogurtland currently sells (along with pistachio). Parking in a garage downtown for a frozen yogurt irks me so I rarely go. I passed this consignment and the moment I entered, my eyes grew big. It's mostly furniture---a mix of mid-century modern and other classic pieces--but also one of the best designer resales I've seen in the back. Every bench, piece of art, chair gorgeous. You just have to go in to appreciate the extraordinary taste of Lisa Faitell, who moved to SB from Westchester County (a tiny town my dear friend lives and I just spent three nights). It's a mother-daughter operation, which I love. They also do custom window treatments and you can arrange for delivery. In the hour I spent, a woman in Laurel Canyon bought a large bright aqua sectional couch. I love absolutely everything. Note: the clothing runs small. Best if you are a size 2, 4, or 6. I love that a New Yorker opened this store--in a pandemic no less. New Yorkers have grit and chutzpah, always rising to the challenge in the most fraught conditions. I bought a dress (48 dollars) and an incredible long sweater-jacket with pattern (50). Wearing the dress to the Granada Saturday, my first time since 2014 before I moved to the city. If you're downtown, you must go in. It's impossible not to come away with a treasure. I went in to look for plant stands and found an outdoor set for 50 they only sell as a pair. I might have to go get it, though I really only need one.
