PSA: Found a place that sells extra firm mattresses and sofas

Food, Shopping & Services

Finally found a spot for EXTRA EXTRA firm mattress and cushions at “What a Room” in SJ

I prefer sleeping on really firm surfaces because it just feels way better for my back and I'm used to it from back home in Vietnam. I checked out a few mattress stores like local shops, Mancini’s, Mattress Firm and I go straight to the firmest option but it’s not that firm to me. Still has a bit too much cushion. I guess Asian firm is different from American firm lol

I didn't even think this I was going to find anything close to Asian firm until my friend told me to check out What a Room because his mom got a mattress from there. They have one mattress on display in the showroom and it’s VERY firm. The best way I can describe it is that it almost feels like laying on a wood plank. Perfect lol

I feel like I found a hidden gem or something because they’re not even a mattress store. They mostly sell sofas, but they do have different firmness levels for their sofas. Their extra firm cushion is actually super hard too.

Definitely check them out if you haven’t already. Really nice and knowledgeable staff that help walk you through all of your options to get you the best one. My experience there was so great that I had to share!
