Who knew mattress shopping could be so fun?! Valerio at SleePare is a true gem. He was so patient with all our questions—and, in a seemingly endless sea of mattress choices, he was incredibly knowledgeable in directing us to the types of mattresses that would best fit our needs (all the while keeping us entertained and having fun!). We highly recommend SleePare and working with Valerio to solve your sleep needzZzZs!

We wanted to buy a helix mattress and so glad we came in to try it first. Raveena was extremely helpful and helped us figure out what was just right. Be sure to come here - don’t just buy blindly online!

I found SleePare through a website and didn’t know what to expect. Fortunately, I was assured of good help when I met Valerio. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He deciphered all the various aspects of the mattresses and helped me determine the best type for my needs. He was very patient as I went through the buying process testing beds and making my purchase.Thank you, Valerio

I had such a blast shopping for a mattress! My friend and I met Valerio and bonded over life which led to us then bonding over trying mattresses. I ended up choosing an M Lily and have been sleeping so well!

We had a great experience with Valerio at SleePare! A mattress is a big decision but we had no idea what we wanted or needed. Shopping with Valerio was a lot of fun, but he was also very patient in educating us on all that goes into selecting a mattress. We are happy with our purchase and the service we received from Valerio and the team at SleePare.

We had the best experience. I don’t think you get costumer service like this anymore. Valerio took his time to explain everything of EVERY single mattress and answer and every silly questions we had. We ended up getting a mattress right there. He the best.

My partner and I had a really lovely experience at SleePare's NYC location. We worked with Rory, who was great — super knowledgable on their selection of mattresses and never felt overly "sales-y", which we really appreciated.

Rory is great. He listened to my needs and presented a range of suitable options, without trying to upsell or pressure at all. Fantastic service. Also a great showroom with good variety (and the only place in NYC that has Winkbeds which I was keen to try after reading many good online reviews).thanks!Edit: went back today to make final decision and purchase and had a lovely experience with Valerio also. This place only seems to employ wonderful humans! Highly recommended

We had a great experience with Valerio! He was very knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect mattress without making us feel pressured into anything. After weeks of searching in Manhattan, we finally found the right mattress at SleePare without even having to book an appointment. Definitely would recommend!

Thanks to the cozy atmosphere and to Rory’s inviting service, we felt very comfortable to relax and fully adjust to each mattress. He gave us the right amount of help and attention, while he also left us alone to experience the selection. I’d recommend this store to any friend looking to find a new mattress. We feel we are in good hands with SleePare. They are much more personal and flexible than Mattress Firm. Now we will see how the Helix holds up to the hype!

SLEEPARE MATTRESS STORE in New York City is definitely a "Go To" Showroom for trying out and comparing various mattresses and power adjustable bases. It was great to be able to try out the different mattresses, which are usually ordered online to see if that particular mattress is one that is suited for your individual needs. Favi, the store manager, was the representative who assisted us! SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! She was very low-key and knowledgeable about the various products available. Because we already knew which specific product we wanted to try out, Favi provided us with the opportunity to lie down on this particular mattress, which is typically purchased online. She reviewed the various features of this product and the lifetime warranty feature for both the mattress and power adjustable base, as well as the complimentary promotional items that come with the purchase of this product. Favi provided exceptionally courteous, professional, and personable service when ordering the items. When we had an issue with the promotional item not being received, Favi went out of her way to make sure to correct this error. She took action on this immediately and had her staff contact us efficiently with both a phone contact and follow-up email to inform us of the tracking order for the non-received item. Favi represents her business well as she will go above and beyond to assist you with the order, and follow-up was exceptional! If more people in the business world provided this type of impeccable service, we would be happier consumers! We would definitely recommend purchasing a mattress at Sleepare in NYC. Favi is an outstanding store manager! Kathleen Y., from Colorado, visiting NYC when mattress and adjustable power adjustable base was ordered by Favi.

SleePare surely gives you best experience purchasing new mattress.Store sells best brands which have presence mostly on the internet, however with SleePare you can have the best of both worlds, buying for the right price and trying before you buy.We already purchased one mattress year ago and had no doubt where to go for the new purchase.Fazi, the Store Manager, was very open and shared important insights related to the right sleeping experience. Process of purchase was very easy and delivery was prompt and flawless.Do your homework and you will come to SleePare if your goal is quality and the right price.Best recommendations.Thank you Fazi and SleePare.

Do not go anywhere else to buy your mattress! This is the place. Ruveena made our mattress-selection process as easy as it could be, and we enjoyed her guided tour of the mattresses. Next time we buy one, it will be from here.

Excellent and valuable experience at this store. I was uncomfortable purchasing a mattress online without trying it so we made the effort to come to the store and it was absolutely worth it. Their sleep consultant, Valerio, is warm and personable, and very skilled in educating customers about the various and overwhelming features of mattresses and which are valuable and which are just window dressing. We spent an hour and a half there trying mattresses and Valerio gave us our space at points to take our time to try the mattresses but also was able to explain to us which mattresses were best for our body types based upon the way we sunk into them. There was rush or no high-pressure sale atmosphere. It was actually relaxing and even fun. We ended up choosing a mattress we would not have chosen online and couldn’t be happier. Prices at SleePare were at least the same as or less than the online sale prices so basically you get the service of the sleep consultant helping you to maneuver the mattresses for free. I was honestly dreading the shlep to the store and the process but it was a surprising little haven on the west side with an engaging and skilled consultant absolutely worth the effort. You can make an appointment or just walk in and I suggest you ask for Valerio!

When I arrived at Sleepare, the team was very welcoming and professional. They got me situated with the mattresses I indicated I was interested in on their site. The team was gracious and very knowledgeable about the mattresses in their showroom. I would highly recommend visiting Sleepare for anyone looking to buy a mattress. They have a lot of great options and the team is easy to work with.

There is a nice variety of mattresses and Fazi the sales consultant walks you through and provides all the information you need to make a decision. The prices seem fair. Not a lot of options for headboards but those can be purchases separately. Overall a well run, professional show room.

After shopping around for a bed and mattress for the better part of a month, I went to Sleepare NYC today (01/20/24) on a whim after reading about them on online (I did not make an appointment, I just showed up). I was immediately attended by Valerio when I came through the door. The customer service was truly exceptional!Valerio took a quick look at me, asked me a few questions about my sleeping preferences, and led me to the mattress that he thought would fit me the best based on my needs and body type. Valerio examined how the suggested mattress reacted to my body and preferred sleeping positions, and had me try a different mattress to see which firmness level I preferred. I was also checking out different adjustable bases for said Mattress, and Valerio actually advised me AGAINST purchasing a more expensive base model as he felt that the extra features weren’t worth the extra $700 and they would lose their novelty quickly. On top of that, he gave me a nice discount off the cheaper base I decided to buy!All in all I was in the store for the better part of 2 hours, and Valerio attended to me the entire time I was there. He made sure to answer all my questions (and I had a lot), let me lounge around on my own on multiple mattresses for as long as I needed (I spent like 40 minutes just lying on mattresses trying to decide what I wanted) and was extremely patient with my indecisive self. He also gave me his personal contact information so I could contact him directly if I had any issues or buyers remorse.All this to say that Valerio’s service was 10/10, and I am so happy I came here instead of just ordering online like I was going to do. Definitely recommending this place to my friends the next time they need a bed!

I had not heard of Sleepare until I searched for the Wink Bed. Once I arrived I was greeted by Fazi the manager and was made to feel very comfortable. Fazi wanted to know exactly what kind of bed I was looking for and what kind of sleeper I am (side sleeper or back sleeper) and she knew the beds that would work for me. After trying several beds I decided to go with the company Bear. It was very comfortable and felt it would suite my needs. I also purchased a motorized platform bed that went with the mattress in a bundle which was a great savings. I also purchased a pillow made for side sleepers which I loved when I tired it out and think it will help my sleep tremendously with the new mattress. Overall this is an amazing mattress store with awesome service and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great mattress!!

Excellent service! I didn’t know what to expect when booking an appointment, and was very pleasantly surprised when I arrived. I was the only customer in the space with one salesperson, and Fazi had read what I was looking for and was prepared to show me not only the brands I’d asked about but others that I ended up liking even better. The experience was very pleasant and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try the newer online mattress brands in person before making a purchase.

Valerio ofrece una experiencia maravillosa desde el momento en que atraviesas la puerta del establecimiento. Su cercanía, su sentido del humor y su buen corazón están alineados con su extenso conocimiento en colchones y sus accesorios. Como se suele decir, “gente buena que es buena gente”. 100% Recomendable.

Incredible experience. Valerio was an absolute joy to speak with. He was incredibly knowledgable answering every question I had about mattress construction, mattress materials, sleep posture, etc. Valerio was also very transparent about warranties, and weighing the pros and cons of different mattresses given my situation. I can't recommend Sleepare and Valerio enough!

Valerio is an excellent salesmen, he took care of my wife and I as soon as we entered the store. Immediately after describing our issues with our current memory foam mattress he knew exactly what mattress we needed. However, he still took the time to let us lay in each mattress in the store and informed us of the differences between each piece. He pointed out what to look for in a mattress and didn’t just sell us on the most expensive products. He made the whole experience fun and informative. Of course we ended up loving the one that he picked for us, as it was the perfect firmness, support and quality that was not going to degrade over time. Valerio honored a recent sale to get us a $5,000 bed for less than $3,000. I would recommend everyone test the beds in this store and ask for Valerio to get everything you need and more.
