We pride ourselves on our connection to our community, our commitment to quality, and above all else, and our customer service. Our goal is to provide a great product to our clients and to develop long lasting relationships with our customer base.

Customer Reviews

These days customers can review a small business and write customer reviews about their experience (good or bad) on any number of ‘review sites such as, Google Places, Yelp, Kudzu, Manta, Superpages, Judy’s Book and many, many more. Today we’d like to share one review from Kudzu from a customer who shares his experience at A Bedder Buy.

I rarely write reviews online, but in this case I had to. We’ve been looking for an specific bunk bed for our kids for quite a long time. We found the bunk bed at several online stores but when called them, we experienced awful customer service. Then we contacted Bedder buy to support the local economy and found Sonia super friendly, she took our desire for this bed seriously, made us feel she genuinely cared. We were flabbergasted! She is the kind of person that returns customers phone calls and remembers every detail. Even if everything doesn’t go as plan, you’ll feel you are not left out in the cold with this store. I’ll recommend Bedder Buy to everyone and will keep going back to them for any furniture needs. Honestly we haven’t experienced this customer service before ever! Sonia is doing a GREAT job!

We want to thank all of our customers and we encourage them to continue sharing their experiences online and with us in person.

How to Recycle Your Old Mattress

Do you have an old mattress you need to get rid of? Mattresses are full of materials and chemicals that are decidedly not eco-friendly: formaldehyde, polyurethane, petroleum based materials, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), and so on. (Come to think of it, why are we sleeping on something containing such hazardous chemicals? More on that in a second post.)

For anyone wanting to be environmentally friendly, mattress recycling poses a substantial obstacle. You can’t take it to the typical recycling center and most charities won’t accept them because of health regulations. What to do? Here are a few ideas.

1) Craigs List. As they say, one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. In this tough economy there are tons of people who would simply love to take a free mattress off your hands.

2) Freecycle. Freecyle.org is a worldwide network comprised of local groups whose members give away and exchange items for free so as to recycle products and keep them out of landfill. Check to see if there is a Freecycle group in your area (my local one has over 6000 members!)

3) Your City or County. Your local government may offer mattress recycling–but if they do, make sure they’re not just taking them to the landfill because your attempt to recycle it will be for nothing.

4) Ecohaul.com. Can’t find someone who wants the mattress? Have it hauled away by this company that pledges to do everything possible to keep materials it picks up out of landfills.
