I rarely write reviews, but JD earned this one. I spent weeks researching luxury mattresses, adjustable bases, latex construction, and comparing brands before making a decision. JD was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. He answered every question I had, never pressured me, and took the time to explain the differences between the various Posh + Lavish models and adjustable base options. What stood out most was his honesty. At no point did I feel like I was getting a sales pitch. He focused on helping me find the right setup rather than simply selling me the most expensive one. As a fellow Navy veteran, it was also great connecting with someone who shares a similar background and values. JD treated me with professionalism, respect, and integrity from start to finish. I ultimately purchased a Posh + Lavish Reawaken Ultra Plush and MLILY MS600 adjustable base, and I feel confident that I made the right decision. The pricing was competitive, the service was outstanding, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely focused on helping you find the right mattress, I highly recommend JD and Real Deal Sleep. Five stars. read more

J.D. went above and beyond again. It is very difficult to get such extraordinary customer service. He truly cares about his customers:)

Where do I begin! My fiancée and I were in the market for upgrading our old Amazon mattress and Real Deal Sleep was the perfect location for the job! JD absolutely made us feel welcome, and fitted us to a perfect mattress with all of the trimmings! The price, quality, honesty, care and concern was the absolute best in all of San Diego! The mattress and base we purchased will last us a long time but I am sure we will be back for an upgrade in years to come! Thank you JD! 5 Star Service! read more

I came by recently to pick up a new pillow case protector for a specialty pillow I purchased here back in 2020. Looks like JD moved the shop down the road as this definitely was not the original place I stopped by 4 years ago. JD is still the man. Super friendly and we chit chatted about other stuff like health improvements to which he gave me some recommendations for. He did not have the original pillow case I bought back in 2020 but sold me on another pillow protector. If I ever actually need a mattress in the future you can bet I will be heading down to Real Deal for sure! read more

Real Deal Sleep - Well organized store. - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

Excellent service. Excellent selection of products. Excellent follow up. I've never slept better.

My husband and I got the Posh and Lavish natural latex sleep system with zero gravity. Our bed is hands down the best bed we've ever slept on! We love being able to raise our beds individually without disturbing each other while the other sleeps. This was a life saver when I had our baby! Postpartum healing and midnight feedings were fully supported by this sleeping system! I love relaxing to the vibration and using zero gravity to decompress. Thank you JD for such incredible service and for helping us find the best sleeping system for our needs! Highly recommend Real Deal Sleep!! read more

Owner is the great guy, I called him to see if he had any pillows but unfortunately, I could not afford the high prices because I was on a very tight budget. He was willing to work with me and I was able to walk out the door with a nice pillow for a good deal. He's a man who cares and values customer Care. I will be coming back as soon as I can! By the way, great pillow. read more

I looked on yelp for a five star mattress business and real deal Sleep popped up... One thing that caught my eye was The amount of great reviews that were on there!! I went in, JD gave awesome customer service And introduced us to the sleep wellness portion of the company... I ended up walking out of there with a super good deal on a high-quality mattress, and after trying out the cryotherapy/ red light therapy, I now have a monthly membership!!!! Thank you, JD for everything !!!! read more

JD is the best!!! Great service and excellent sleep! Was able to get me my bed during ComicCon! Highly recommended!!

Great service and communication to purchase a new mattress. Knowledgeable and helpful.

Finally figured we would get a new mattress after a year of my husband having back issues (and LOTS of snoring at night). JD spent a good amount of time with us to pick a mattress that would work for us. We bought the posh and lavish natural latex sleep system with zero gravity adjustment base and massage. Absolutely LOVE! My husband's back pain has improved, there's no more snoring and with the adjustable base, I can raise my part of the bed to nurse our newborn without disturbing my husband. Overall, would definitely recommend Real Deal Sleep! read more

5 star service and I never even stepped foot in the actual store!!! I was in a pinch after another store flaked on me 2 times to deliver a mattress. I needed a mattress SAME day and WOW JD the owner pulled through! I think I texted him that morning around 10am and at 1pm it was being delivered to my house! I trusted him to pick a mattress that was in my budget and he did just that. Thank you so much for getting my daughter her mattress just in time when she returned from camp! She was so happy to have a new bed to sleep in. I would love to come to the store one day to meet JD in person and thank him! Diana read more

JD is top notch and I would send all my friends to him. After stopping by many different place, it was a sudden sense of relief after spending time with JD . You can tell right away he really understands the business, your needs and genuinely cares about what's best for you vs. trying to sell you the most expensive mattress. But, it gets better... After my wife and I got our first mattress with JD, 9 months later we decided we made a mistake (our mistake, not that of JD- we had bought split Twin XL due to my wife and i liking different firmness and in hindsight the split bed didn't work well for us- JD did warn us). Soooo, we called JD and he said 'no problem- i always honor my 1 year guarantee'. So we came back and he had the perfect bed ready for us. We grabbed it immediately and his team came and swapped beds for us. JD was also very responsive between the order date and delivery date to ensure we were kept up to date with timing. Loving the new bed and can't wait to come back again when ready to get another bed for my house. read more

JD was very knowledgeable about different sleep positions and how it affected my health. We were able to walk in, sample the product, and leave with a mattress that day. Very pleased and can't wait to upgrade other mattresses in our house! read more

This is the 2nd time we have bought from JD at Real Deal. First time was before COVID and 2nd was after. Let me tell you, he has mastered an amazing experience post COVID. We texted with him to set up an appointment. When we got there we were one of 2 couples that were in the store with him. Doors are kept locked, but he will gladly come and help you if you just text him from outside. Once in, you have an amazing 1 on 1 experience in seeking out your most amazing bed. He listens to your wants and needs, then selects beds for you to test. He helps you narrow down to pick the perfect mattress. Truly had an amazing experience and would recommend Real Deal to anyone! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. JD was super helpful, and obviously knew his stuff. The delivery process was absolutely seamless. JD's communication, as well as that of the drivers, was perfect. I'm very happy with the entire process. read more

We came to Real Deal Sleep because we heard the owner JD was extremely knowledgeable. He knew exactly which direction to point us in and we ended up with the best mattress I've ever owned in my life! In fact it's not just a mattress it's a whole sleep system! My previous bed would cause me to wake up drenched in sweat and uncomfortable. JD recommended the M-Lily Midnight Ice Ultra Cooling hybrid mattress with a zero gravity adjustable base. It even has massage!!! My fiance and I now sleep peacefully at night, no tossing and turning, no sweating. Pure comfort. I'm so glad we went the extra mile with the adjustable base as it feels really nice to elevate your feet after a hard days work. I haven't had sleep like this in as long as I can remember. P.s. their sheets that they have for sale are also extremely luxurious. Thanks Real Deal!​ read more

My wife and I are so grateful to have met JD at RealDeal Sleep ! From our initial sleep consultation all the way through to our first night of restful sleep.....this has been an experience of a lifetime ! We purchased a Posh and Lavish Natural Latex Split King Mattress Set with Zero Gravity Adjustable Bed and Massage. JD took the time to educate us on the many benefits of sleeping in Zero Gravity. We learned that it's not just about better sleep....it's about Better Life !! Improved Blood Circulation, Reduced Snoring, Elimination of Low Back Pressure, Upper Back/ Neck Support and Ease of Breathing just to get started. JD has great pricing and he also secured our financing. Everything was available for pick up the exact day that was promised. The set up was easy and hassle free. We also got our Egyptian Cotton Sheets and Blu Sleep Pillows from Real Deal Sleep and........WOW ! The first night My Wife and I slept for 9 Hours !! With our previous mattress, the limit for me was 6 hours....and I would wake up with pain in my back, shoulders, neck and hips. Everything has changed since we invested in our sleep. Each day my wife and I wake up refreshed and pain free. This is simply the Very Best Rest and Sleep that we've experienced. JD IS The Real Deal but we know him best as "The Sleep Whisperer". Don't put it off any longer..... INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE and you'll be grateful that you stopped by RealDeal ! Thank you JD for sharing your Passion for LIFE with Chrissie and I ! read more

JD truly knows his mattresses and shares his knowledge with you on the science of sleep. He truly wants you to find the perfect bed that will allow you rest comfortably. He takes the time for you lay on a bed for several minutes and then he comes back for your feedback. With that feedback he is listening to you and giving you other options until you tell him you found the perfect mattress. He has a great warranty as well. If you're in the market to get a new mattress make sure you go see JD. I am confident that you will definitely save a lot of time, spend within the budget you give him...and get exactly what you need. read more

I had a great experience at this place! It's very professional, offering a wide variety of rooms, including a sauna and more. The owner is highly professional and incredibly kind. I highly recommend it!" read more

JD (the owner) was kind enough to find time for us to come in on just a few minutes notice even though he had to close earlier today. Me and my partner were looking for some new pillows and JD had some recommendations immediately ready for us. He also has sanitary pillow covers so you don't just put your face on these sample pillows. He let us try them out at our own pace and was quick to provide alternatives when we asked for something thinner / thicker. We left with 2 new pillows at a good value. Though we have yet to sleep on them, I am very pleased with the level of service that JD provided and would recommend his store to anyone looking for bedding supplies. read more

I've bought from JD twice. I can't recommend him enough. The service is great. The products are great. He cares about his customers. read more

When you buy a mattress, where do you want your money to go? To the ad agencies and TV stations that run a store's commercials? To a fancy and spacious showroom? To commissioned salespeople roving the floor and waiting for fresh meat to enter? I'd rather my money go toward a quality mattress, sold with minimal marketing from a clean but modest showroom by a super-knowledgable (and accessible!) owner/operator. You get all that at J.D. DeHart's Real Deal Sleep. My wife and I bought a Posh and Lavish natural latex mattress and an Elite power adjustable base. The bedroom is once again my favorite place in the house. read more

This review is a little late, but better late than never! JD and his team are amazing and very knowledgeable! I had purchased a queen Posh + Lavish bed with latex pillowtop and the adjustable power base. I absolutely love my bed! I then went back to the store and purchased two of their gel temperature control pillows. I then decided to purchase a new bed for my guest room so I opted for a full sized bed with box spring. I've had so many compliments from friends and family who visit. Now my mom is living with me so I'm going to be getting an adjustable power base for her as well. I'll definitely be coming back for all my future purchases! read more

JD comes through like a champ once again! I've know JD for a few yrs, great friends and trust them highly. I referred 2 very good friends Luis and Kristin to JD at Real deal, as they were in a huge need for new sleep system. I've heard great things about this Posh Lavish, which is what they selected. Best Mattress store in CA - hands down! Thanks JD for taking such good care of our friends! Derek & Aide read more

Finally got a chance to go see JD over at Real Deal Sleep and could no be happier with our experience. You need to make an appointment as JD (owner) really takes you on an mattress education and helps you find the bed of your dreams. From pillow selection to bedding materials everything is covered. We even splurged on the zero gravity adjustable bed frame to which once we experienced we realized we could not live without. JD is very passionate about his trade and his knowledge about sleep is unmatched. He was very open to our budget and with his easy, no hassle financing we walked out of there knowing our investment into a good nights sleep was taken care of. Local delivery and old mattress disposal offered at a low cost as well. So happy we made this commitment and looking forward to a future of great sleep. Thanks JD!! read more

Real Deal Sleep - Main Showroom at Real Deal Sleep. Adjustable Zero Gravity Frame w a King Koil Eurotop mattress. - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

As a Director of a non-profit that uses state Medicaid funds on behalf of the disabled community, I am very disappointed in the service provided to one of my clients. The queen mattress and adjustable frame arrived at the same time. The delivery service was curt and forced the previous upholstered bed and mattress to be hauled to their truck, because they said they cannot install unless the room is emptied first. We asked about the adjustable legs, because it was too high to get into the bed. They shrugged and left. They demanded cash pay for the delivery, as they are a contractor and not a service by the store. That explains why the delivery charge was not on the receipt. At the time of the purchase, which took about 2 hours from getting to the showroom, there was a QR code to their Yelp page, and JD said that if we posted a 5-star review in that moment while he was watching, he would not charge sales tax. We opted out, as reviews cannot be made until the merchandise has arrived and tried at home. That explains the 750+ 5-star reviews on his business page. Immediately the next morning, the physical therapist asked why the joint pain has increased, and we explained about a new mattress. They guided us to immediately exchange it for something more supportive, because this one was soft and the topper was floppy. You can actually fold it into four! We sent our concerns via email within a few days, and did not receive a response. In week 2, we called about the email and they swore they never saw it. (JD responds to 1-star reviews by swearing that he checked all his emails and found nothing) In week 3, we requested information to process the refund. The mattress did not fix the back, neck, and hip pain, but in fact increased the hip and neck stiffness. As a result, we questioned whether the delivered item was the same as the mattress sampled in the store. In that phone call, JD employed his military strategies for keeping us on the telephone while he barraged us by pushing personal buttons, taking advantage of a disabled customer. State Medicaid money was used to make this purchase. Medicaid requires a bona-fide refund policy when purchase is made with state funds. The receipts and signed paperwork had no information about policies or warranties, and JD insisted that he had a "Comfort Guarantee" which only included coming back to the showroom and choosing a different model. Naturally, we never wanted to see him again. Failure to work with us to process a refund is fraud defined by the California Department of Consumer Affairs, regardless of store policy. The store policy kept changing every time we heard from JD, the owner of Real Deal Sleep. Any text messages or calls were met with hostility and manipulative verbiage. JD resorted to deception in unprofessional text messages and pressuring phone calls. When we read all of his 1-star reviews, we recognized a pattern in his conduct, especially with replying by posting personal identifying information about the customer, shaming them by recycling the same tune to everybody, forcing them to modify their review. Luckily, Yelp shows the original review for reference. We sent a formal notice that we can accept an exchange of the original purchase of a queen mattress, for 2 twin mattresses instead. Out of medical necessity, we already purchased a different brand mattress from a more reliable and appropriate dealer, and that is working out perfectly. As this defective queen mattress is now obstructing a hallway and creating a fire hazard, we are being pushed to drop off the queen at his showroom, and post a picture on Yelp to warn potential customers. We are happy to drop off the queen to his store, and pick up the 2 twins at the same time. read more

My husband and I are dancers with back issues. Our bed is VERY important to us and our aging mattress needed to be replaced. Yelp reviews for Real Deal Sleep seemed almost too good to be true, but we got in touch with JD and made an appointment. JD knows his stuff and he cares about his customers. We had an absolutely incredible experience. We learned about all of the new mattress options available and he answered all of our questions. It's a big, expensive decision, so we went home to think it over and read some more. We did also try some of those chain mattress stores -- frightening. Sales people who knew nothing, just trying to sell you on the latest greatest thing. Back to Real Deal Sleep. Decision made. Mattress purchased. It was an awesome experience. But we made a mistake. This is when JD really shines. After a month, we realized that even though we've used the same type of mattress all of our lives, (insulated foam coils), we are not as young as we used to be and it was just not working out. We were not happy and when JD checked in, we told him so. Back to Real Deal Sleep. This time, we listened when he told us that it is possible to have support AND comfort. We went with the amazing natural latex and adjustable base. OMG. It's amazing. It's like floating. It's magical. It's supportive and unbelievably comfortable. TLDR: Real Deal Sleep TRULY IS the REAL DEAL. JD will take care of you and he won't be satisfied until you are satisfied. His warranty is legit and he stands by his products. Go see him. THANK YOU JD!!!!!!!!!! read more

Excellent service, knowledge and value. JD has been communicative, professional and extremely accommodating

What Fantastic Customer Service! I had a warranty issue with a mattress topper and Real Deal Sleep was no longer doing business with the manufacturer. JD really went to bat for me. He contacted them and was persistent for over 8 months to get me a new mattress topper! Unbelievable! He Seriously got the runaround from the company and he simply wouldn't give up on getting me a replacement. Thank You So Much JD! CONCLUSION: I Am a Customer For LIFE and Will Be Referring Friends, Family and Anyone who needs a Mattress to Real Deal Sleep! read more

I went in yesterday and was met by JD (the owner) personally. He asked some easy questions about what I'm looking for and price point and showed me some promising beds. He left me alone to try the beds out but was available to answer every and any question I had. I ended spending more than I planned on but it was worth it! Not only because a bed is an excellent long term investment but because JD's business model and the fact that he was not pushy at all, huge plus for me. Definitely going back there for any future mattress related products! read more

The best mattress place! My husband and I have been getting our mattresses here for years! He actually started going here first when they used to sell furniture. We referred my parents as well and they too love their mattresses! Great customer service, you don't feel pressured to buy and they give great deals! Never knew how much of a difference a mattress would make...let's just say after a long day it feels amazing to lay down on a cloud! We recently just bought my 2.5 year old a twin mattress for his new big boy bed and he loves it! My family loves supporting businesses like this. Very knowledgeable and family/veteran owned! I would definitely recommend this company! Your body and sleep won't regret it read more

My partner and I recently searched for best mattress dealers in San Diego and Real Deal came up. So we were on our way and when we started shopping JD assisted us but didn't get pushy which I hate when ppl get pushy. He asked our price range we gave it but decided to go higher and we found a mattress we liked. JD had us try the adjustable platform and WOW we fell in love. He explained things to us made us comfortable making our decision. We ended up buying something that would help us sleep better. Again he's not pushy and we enjoyed our shopping experience at Real Deal Sleep! I highly recommend this place! Sincerely April Rath Tula read more

Bought twin mattresses for our guest room about 6 years ago. Many compliments on the mattresses from our guests. Two years ago decided to go to a split King with elevation and massage features. JD asked us a lot of questions about our needs, showed us three excellent beds, and we chose the mid range. IT IS FABULOUS! My back is happy and we sleep very well. Re doing the guest room and there is only one place we would even consider, Real Deal Sleep. Honest, reliable, and best service in town. You can't go wrong with Real Deal. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I finally made a Yelp account to post this. Back in August I was looking to upgrade my sad broken spring twin bed which had gotten me through all of college to a nice queen bed. After visiting a few Mattress Firms, I was dissatisfied with the selection so I booked an appointment with JD after consulting Yelp. I was a little nervous I would be wasting his time because my budget was pretty limited. JD hooked me up with a memory foam California king bed, box spring, frame, AND sheets/pillows for the price of what a queen mattress would've costed at mattress firm! It was comfy af and he also helped me load it into my friends truck when I came to pick it up. I have never been more hooked up ever in my life and every night I go to sleep i feel like a California KING on my California king bed. The greatest buying experience I have ever had anywhere. The bed is so nice. Anyways if you see this JD thanks again!!! read more

JD and his team at Real Deal are just like the name suggests. I have been friends with JD and his family for a few years so when it came time for me to get a new bed I knew exactly where I was taking my business. I went in on Monday afternoon and tried out several mattresses and power bases. I'll loved the Memory Foam Mattress and ended up going with the 'Cadillac' of Adjustable Bases. Customer Service was excellent. 2 days later my new sleep system was delivered and set up. The delivery company also took away my old bed. JD texted me to make sure the delivery was done. He also followed up after my first nights sleep to see how I liked my new sleep system - what other mattress store does that?!? After just 1 night of sleeping in my new sleep system I noticed a difference. I woke up, stepped out of bed and my feet did NOT hurt/ache! I don't want to ever sleep flat again. This is a game changer when it comes to sleep and recovery! I am telling everyone I know to check out Real Deal Mattress and to upgrade to an adjustable base bed! Thanks Real Deal! read more
