We had a truly positive and comfortable mattress shopping experience at Yawnder. It's a great showroom full of high quality mattresses that you typically only see online, so being able to try out more natural, eco-friendly options was so helpful. We found our perfect mattress with the help of Trystan and Katherine, who were both SO nice, genuine, patient, and very knowledgeable about their inventory. Trystan especially spent a lot of time with us answering all of our questions honestly and in detail, but also gave us time and space to shop around, and never made us feel pressured to buy. We purchased 2 Technogel pillows, a Diamond Generations King size mattress (made here in California!), a bed foundation, and mattress cover for a very reasonable price. We didn't feel the need to shop around for any of it because a quick check online showed that Yawnder's pricing was very fair, and we also wanted to buy everything from this awesome small business. We opted to have our items sent to the showroom, then delivered by Oscar, who was excellent with communication and coordinating a delivery time, and even took our old box springs away all for free! AMAZING. I've been recommending this Yawnder location to friends and family, and would highly recommend it to anyone. read more

This store gave us the wrong mattress and We try call them the only answer they gave us was that was final sell very bad customer service And took them 1 month to deliver the mattress read more

I had a fantastic customer experience at Yawnder in Encinitas. They carry a great selection of the online brands I was most interested in like Helix, Nest, Nolah, and several others I've been wanting to check out. It's tough to find a place where you can actually lay on these brands (the next closest I found was in Orange County!). You've got to see how it feels before committing to an important purchase like your mattress--where you'll theoretically spend 1/3 of your life for the next several years. You just can't do that online. Yes, do some research and check reviews. But ultimately, you've got to test some out and find the one that works for YOU. I want to give an extra shout-out to Cimarron, who was sooooo patient with me trying out all of the mattresses, sharing so much knowledge and insight with me along the way. Mostly because of my online research, I ended up purchasing a certain hybrid mattress I won't name here. The new mattress arrived on my porch; and Yawnder took away my old mattress. It was a great mattress, but I tried it out for maybe 40 days or so and decided it just wasn't the perfect fit for me. Their return/exchange process was easy and no-headaches. Second time around, I chose the Nest Owl Natural Latex organic mattress. I was able to take advantage of some fantastic sale pricing they had that even beat what the manufacturer was offering. The Nest mattress arrived on my porch, and Yawnder came by and took away the first one. I've had my Nest mattress for a couple of months now and I'm loving it. In conclusion, in my opinion, there is NOTHING BUT ADVANTAGE FOR YOU by going to Yawnder vs. ordering online. You get to actually see, touch, and try the mattress yourself before you buy. You also get expert guidance and service, and someone local you can speak with face to face if you have any issues. Even better, when it comes to price, Yawnder at least matches--and usually beats--the price you get online. Excellent value all the way around. No hesitation to strongly recommend! read more

The Yawnder is a great store with excellent selection in their showroom, extremely helpful and knowledgeable sale people. When there was an issue with the supplier, Yawnder administration went above and beyond supporting me as a customer. read more

Although I didn't purchase a mattress from Yawnder, I want to acknowledge the excellent service provided by Trystan. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and patient. I appreciated his help very much. He really cared! Thank you Trystan. The store itself was super clean and had a really nice vibe. read more

I generally despise having to mattress shop. This last go around, I spent way too much time going down rabbit holes with reviews and reddit, etc. I wish I had just started at Yawnder in Encinitas. They had 3 of the 4 mattresses I was interested in. After test driving those (and a few others in the store), we settled on some from Nest (two twin XLs for our split cal king and a queen for a guest bedroom). The in-store experience was terrific. The staff was super helpful. After the delivery was complete, Yawnder expeditiously arranged for the pick up of our old mattresses. Super smooth experience and I highly recommend them. read more

I wholeheartedly recommend Yawnder for its wonderful selection of mattresses, beds, bedsheets, pillows, and other sleep essentials. It offers great value for your money! The owners are ethical and good people. Yawnder is the perfect place to find your mattress, bed, pillow, bedsheets, and other sleep necessities. Plus, their customer service is truly outstanding. read more

If you're looking for a better way to shop for a mattress, Yawnder is the perfect solution. After visiting the usual mattress stores we only saw the major legacy brands like Simmons, Sealy, Tempurpedic, and a couple of the online brands, used mostly to upsell us to the other more expensive brands. The other option is to buy online any of the newer brands and hope for the best. But mattresses vary so widely, it's a real hassle to find the best one by ordering without trying and returning successive times, especially after you've gotten rid of your old mattress. Yawnder solves this conundrum brilliantly. They have most of the newer brands available online to try and compare in one place. My wife and I visited Yawnder and were able to try the ones we were interested in from reading Consumers Report, Wirecutter, Wired, the ads, and the many paid review sites that, of course, disagreed with each other. We discovered the mattresses felt very different in person from their descriptions. One company's firm was softer than another company's medium. Some sagged at the edge, while others were too bouncy. We really needed to try them in person. Luckily, this one visit to Yawnder allowed us to try and compare all the models of a dozen or more brands. We were helped by Billie, who was very knowledgeable and applied no pressure at all. She just explained each one objectively and never pushed one brand over another. Buying our mattress came down to trying them at our pace for over an hour. Pricing was as good or better than online. (see below). Our mattress was delivered about 10 days after ordering by very two very capable individuals. They set everything up, including the remotes, adjusted the height to our liking and removed all of the cartons and the old mattress at no charge and took our old frame and box spring for a small charge. A few days later I noticed the mattress we bought on Amazon advertised by the manufacturer (Helix) for about $270 less than Yawnder's selling price. Even though Yawnder had also provided their own store discount of $290, making our net cost $20 less than Amazon, Yawnder said their price guarantee applies to the advertised price of the mattress without their extra discount, and insisted on giving us a refund of $270! This was truly an amazing experience in every way. My wife and I feel we lucked out by finding an easy way to try out all the mattresses before buying, experiencing an educational, no-pressure sales process, getting timely white glove delivery, and paying less than anyplace else. San Diego is lucky to have such a unique store such as this. read more

The owner could NOT be nicer and more helpful. I've never enjoyed shopping for mattresses, but he made it so enjoyable...no pressure whatsoever. I ended up treating myself to the most expensive mattress...the Technogel. Very happy with it. HIghly recommend mattress shopping at Yawnder! read more

Came in on a Saturday and was greeted by Billie. We were looking for a mattress that didn't retain body heat, and was medium firm. She knew exactly what we wanted. She had us try the Avocado Green mattress. Billie left us to test it out and decide. No pressure, no selling speech. She just wanted us to take our time, which was nice. We loved the Avocado Green right away. But we did want to try comparable mattresses. So Billie showed us 2 other mattresses. We tried them, but knew for sure we wanted to Avocado Green. Billie ordered us the mattress, platform and pillows. She even gave us a discount (Labor Day sale). We also purchased their White Glove service which includes the platform, mattress set up and old mattress haul away. Diamond Hands (Yawnder's 3rd party delivery at the time) texted us a few weeks after we ordered. They set up a time convenient for us. Two guys step up the platform and mattress in our bedroom. Yawnder's White Glove service charge did not include the Box Spring haul away. So Diamond Hand charged us $135 extra. That was not expected (I didn't ask the details of white glove service at time of purchase). But I would have paid for the box spring haul away anyways. Only thing I wish the delivery guys could have done was wear clean gloves during set up. Their everyday-gloves were a little dirty and got our new mattress dirty. :( We were missing 1 pillow because Avocado sent the second pillow later that afternoon to Yawnder. I emailed Yawnder, and they shipped it to us the next day. Great service! Overall we have a great shopping experience here. No pressure. No up-selling. And they had good communication when we were missing our pillow. I would definitely use Yawnder again. read more

Cimarron was incredibly helpful and kind, and we found just the perfect mattress for our son! Fantastic selection, and all sorts of other great products to help you get your best nights sleep! read more

Yawnder is the place to go in San Diego if you want to actually see/touch/feel the top rated mattresses from multiple 'online only' luxury mattress companies. Billie, the sales lady at the store, is knowledgeable, helpful and very low pressure. We ended up with the Helix brand mattress and love it. I can't imagine ordering a mattress on line and not being able to try it out first. Plus, if you order through Yawnder, they are giving an extra 5% off. Delivery was easy and our mattress came five days sooner than anticipated. We are very happy! ​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Although we didn't end up buying from Yawnder we had a great experience from Cimmeron! She was knowledgeable, professional and gave us time without being pushy! There was a great choice with most of the top mattresses available to try. Their prices were comparable to on line prices. read more

Great experience! Ben was super helpful and knowledgeable. Getting old sucks and one of the problems is back pain. My sleeping on cheap crappy mattress days are over. Came here based on their reviews and also because they are the only retailer in San Diego that carries Dreamcloud brand mattresses. I had done some online research and decided to come in to try out the different models. Ben explained to me all the features of the Dreamcloud mattresses and provided me with a lot of information. Then he recommended a different mattress Nectar Hybrid and explained why that was more suitable for me. After trying the mattress he recommended, I was pleasantly surprised and completely agree with his recommendation! The store was very nice and clean. Lots of selection for everyone's different needs. Great experience. Highly recommend! read more

See all

I've always trusted the quality and selection from the Yawnder team, and once again, they didn't disappoint. Even though I live in a different city now, I still wanted to support this family business because I know how carefully they curate everything. The products are top-notch, and it's clear that they really know their products and take great pride in what they offer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great mattress from people who genuinely care! read more

I got my mattress from here and the customer service was way better than any big brand mattress shop. The owner made it really easy and he wasn't pushy. I love my mattress. The delivery service was amazing too. read more

Allowed us to try several online brands that we were interested in. The staff was helpful in narrowing down choices and letting us take our time testing out each mattress. This is the second mattress our family has purchased here. The service is great. read more

Shout out to Ben for the excellent customer service. I highly recommend this store to anyone in the market for a new mattress. They have a great selection of brands, including many of the popular online brands. Mattresses are very subjective and there is simply no substitute to trying before you buy. I discovered that I prefer a firmer mattress than average, and most of the popular online suggestions wouldn't have been a good fit for me. I ended up getting a helix dawn, which I absolutely love! read more

Our mattresses and adjustable bases arrive sooner than expected even after we got an email they might be delayed ! Final got them set up and slept in them last night. Had a great night sleep and my back feels better after sleeping on the new mattress one night. Highly recommended! Service has been excellent ! read more

I really can't say enough about Yawnder in Encinitas. I hate to even tell you how many mattresses we've been through in 3 years. I dislike going to look at mattresses almost as much as looking for cars. I looked online and found Yawnder. My husband and I went there and I'm so happy we did. It was worth the drive. We were helped by this very kind and knowledgeable man, which we later found out is the owner. Ben. He made sure we bought the very best mattress for us. We were told we would have our mattress that next Friday and Ben made sure we did. I really can't say enough good things about Ben and Yawnder Encinitas. Yes, we will be back for other mattresses. read more

We visited Yawnder in Encinitas after trying an online mattress purchase. The salespeople were very helpful, with no pressure, and gave us plenty of time to try out the mattresses on our own without them hovering around. They seem to have just about every online mattress in their showroom, including the one that turned out not to be right for us. Had we gone here first and sat on it, we would have avoided a lot of frustration. They responded quickly to emails and a couple of phone calls, and even went out of their way to offer help with my online difficulties, despite not being directly involved. We bought our new mattress at this store and have had it for a few weeks. Although it has a 100-day trial, I expect we will keep it for many years. read more

We absolutely love our Nolah mattress and dream pillows! So glad we stopped in to window shop--Ben and Cat were so helpful and knowledgeable. It's not easy finding the perfect fit for two people with different needs and they knew just how to help us figure out how to best meet our needs. Definitely recommend! read more

I live in Mountain View & our house was under 6 feet of water. Someone sent me Yawnder's Instagram post regarding free mattresses they were giving away, I called the number and applied. A day later they reached back out to gift us a twin size mattress. This meant the work to our family, and the fact that it's coming from a small San Diego business means the world as I know it's a costly gift. Thank you team Yawnder, you've made this horrible situation a whole lot brighter & you will definitely be our mattress provider moving forward! read more

Best mattress buying experience ever. The sales lady answered all of our questions and gave us some great options to try. Decided on the Millbrook Hampshire III and it's amazing. They worked with us with all of our needs and there was never any pressure to buy or upsell. White glove delivery was speedy and even helped put the bedding on. Definitely come here before buying any online mattresses. Too risky not to try it out in person. read more

My experience at Yawnder was very pleasant. I was greeted when I walked in the door by Cimmaron. She was very attentive and listened to my thoughts regarding a new mattress. The entire sales process was painless and no pressure. I got all my questions answered and her followup was superb. read more

Who knew? A mattress store where they actually listen to you and don't try to talk you into anything. Amazing! I was cautiously optimistic based on the Yelp reviews and it turned out to be true. Marcela was super helpful and knowledgeable and nice, and there was no pressure to buy. It was the perfect balance between giving me information and leaving me alone to try out the mattresses for as long as I wanted. With Marcela's help I found my perfect mattress today! I never thought I would say this about a mattress store but I highly recommend Yawnder!! read more

I was anxious about shopping for a new mattress as I've dealt with pushy sales people at other mattress stores in the past. We came here because we wanted to try out the dream cloud mattresses before ordering. Shopping here was such an enjoyable experience. Ben, the owner, took the time to really educate us about the pros and cons of different mattresses. He was not pushy at all and can tell he genuinely cares and wants everyone to end up with a mattress they will love. We are so happy with our new mattress. He went over and beyond and will definitely use him for any future purchases and recommend to any friends. read more

I've been on a search for a new mattress. I hit up the typical Mattress Firm /run of the mill stores. I just wasn't sold on dropping so much on a mattress I didn't absolutely love. I started to look online and came across this store Yawnder. I was curious to try out all of the beds you read about online but are not able to try out. I cruised on over to this spot and I met Ben who I believe is the owner. He was knowledgeable, kind and honest. I felt absolutely no pressure AT ALL to purchase a mattress during my visit. I spent close to an hour and half just narrowing down the mattresses I liked there. Ben answered all of my questions from coil count to manufacturer, to which beds find their way back as returns. He listened to my feedback and was able to show me mattresses that were to my liking. Four mattresses were in the running, but when I finally left it was between 2. I would recommend anyone looking for a new mattress to come check out how far mattress technology has come and venture off the top selling mattress brands we thought only existed. This morning I just came across the more thorough website this store has and I'm very impressed on Ben's reviews. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't go to this location to try out what they have. read more

Highly recommend! I had a really good experience here. I had gone to Mattress Firm and didn't find anything I loved. Some online quizzes had suggested some online only brands, but I was hesitant to buy them without being able to try them first. It was so nice to be able to come here and try the online only brands in person. They also had tons of pillow options to try. Marcela helped me with everything, and she was fantastic. She helped me figure out the firmness level I liked, and once we narrowed it down to my top couple of choices, she had me go in a massage chair as a sort of reset before I tried them each again for a little bit longer before deciding. She answered all my questions and gave me as much time as I needed. I never felt pressured, just supported. I was hunting for a new mattress, mattress protector, and pillows, and found good options. Marcela helped me place orders for everything. One small hiccup with one of the websites rejecting my phone number for an order (when the other websites had taken my orders just fine with my phone number). So I paid the store, they ordered it with their account, but I forgot to ask about shipping/tracking info. I called and Krista (Christa?) was able to give me a quick answer: because it was their store account, the shipping/tracking info was coming to them, which makes sense... I should've thought of that, haha. It should be here in a few days. Super pleased. I've been in the same crappy under $200 mattress for almost 10 years, so I'm excited to upgrade. My top 2 favorite mattresses here were the WinkBed Luxury Firm, and the Helix Dusk Luxe. read more

Perfect! Easy ordering process, quick delivery, easy setup when (2) mattress arrived and the person doing the pickup of my old mattress left me his number for when I was ready. When I called for pickup, he was there the same day. Great job Yawnder, and we love the mattress. read more

When my wife and I entered the store, we were greeted by the owner, Ben. Ben's demeanor was so kind, helpful and genuine. He asked what our needs were and actually listened. There was no proverbial sales pitch or greedy jargon spouting from his mouth like most mattress stores we have experienced in the past. Ben was understanding and accommodating. As he showed us the various makes and models of mattresses, pillows, etc. he provided the details and specifications of each product. We did not feel any pressure while shopping and this ultimately made for such a simple decision to purchase a complete bedroom ensemble. Ultimately, we can't say enough great things about Ben and the Yawnder business. Job well done, Ben, you have created a life-long and loyal customer. Thank you for the hospitality and fantastic shopping experience. read more

This place is awesome because you can test out pretty much every mattress brand you can think of and even those you didn't know existed. When traveling in Asia, my travel mates complained about how hard the mattresses were, but I couldn't get over how good I felt after sleeping on these VERY firm mattresses. So, I wanted to recreate this sleeping experience at home. I bought two different off-brand mattresses online that developed sagging within 4 months and they were never firm enough. So, I learned you get what you pay for. Based on my further extensive research, I planned to buy a Brooklyn Bedding Plank, because it's advertised as the firmest mattress on the market. When I googled to see if there was any place that sells this mattress locally, Yawnder popped up and I'm so grateful to have found them. Had I bought the Plank mattress online without testing it out, I would have been very unhappy (yet again). Ben was kind, super knowledgeable, and honest guiding me through all my options and I was feeling totally dejected because it seems that we can't get the same sort of firm Asian mattresses here in the US. As luck would have it, Ben was reviewing a strange-looking ANSSiL Korean air mattress with "string technology" that comes with a module that allows you to dial in the level of firmness. The mattress wasn't even on the market yet here in the US, but when Ben let me try it out and dial in the firmness levels, I knew that this was exactly what I was looking for and he helped me to purchase it. When I looked at reviews for this Anssil mattress in the US there were lots of complaints about it because the 1-10 firmness levels essentially go from VERY firm to like-a-rock, but after having this mattress for 5 months, I absolutely love it and would still be searching for a mattress, had I not wandered into Yawnder. If you're in the market for a mattress, check out this lovely establishment. They will match the deal you find online and it will support our local businesses and the people they employ. read more

Yawnder is an ideal destination for mattress shopping. Not only do they have a vast selection of mattresses to choose from, but their staff will assist you with information to help you make the right selection. I have had the great pleasure shopping there twice, for myself and once for my spouse. Pricing is very competitive. Thank you so much, Ben and Cimarron. read more

Customer service was excellent. No pressure sales and sales associate was patient and extremely helpful with info. regarding various mattresses. Had to return first mattress, as it was just too hard and Yawnder staff were helpful and easy to work with to get a different softer mattress with no fuss. Great company to work with and did not hesitate to make our situation right. read more

Think twice about ordering anything from here!! Their return policy is horrible and very misleading. The assumption is that customers do get to return after 30 day trial period; however, at the very bottom of their policy they list a long list of exceptions / non-returnable items, which unfortunately read too late. I purchased a Brooklyn Bedding 3" latex queen mattress topper - medium firm, slept on it 1 night and was in excruciating pain and very sore the next day. I gave it another try, but could not withstand the back pain after 1 hour. It was torture! My back is all messed up. I messaged them right away and they would not work with me as a customer or even cared to work with me. I went in person to their location in San Diego on the 2nd day to try to return mattress topper as it was still new, had the box and all packaging with me, and still nothing! All the manager could say was, "I'm sorry this is our policy." Horrible!! They were not willing to return or even give partial credit. Very disappointed. Paid $475 and can't use it. Ripped off! I HIGHLY recommend going to a more reputable place with a better return policy and a company who really cares about their customers versus their profit. LOOK ELSEWHERE. read more

Excellent service from the manager and staff. The Yawnder super plush soft mattress is well made and extremely comfortable. We found the price reasonable! read more

This place is a gem. You will receive better service, prices, or quality products than any big mattress store. I received great recommendations from the super friendly staff on what products to choose and have been very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend! read more

Yawnder is awesome. You can try out the best online mattresses before making a purchase and then get an even better deal than whats offered online. Way, WAY better than Mattress Firm or any of the other corporate dinosaurs out there who rip you off with their overpriced junk. I ended up buying the Mlilly Ortho Fusion and got it at less than half of its normal price. I never would've known about the Mlilly brand if not for Yawnder. The guy who was there when I walked in was very kind, helpful, and there was ZERO pressure put on me to buy anything. Definitely the best mattress store I've been to. read more

After searching, falsely thinking I could trust the online reviews to meet MY sleeping needs, buying and returning two mattresses, I as done with online mattress buying! Or so I thought. I couldn't give up and continued searching online for a solution, during this time I found The Sleep Sherpa showroom in San Diego. What a breath of fresh air. Here, at this showroom you can try many of the mattresses sold only online. Yay! Ben Trapskin and his team know their stuff. The customer service provided here is above and beyond. I highly recommend this showroom to any and all looking for an honest ear to hear your mattress wows and needs. read more

Such an awesome concept for those looking at buying the online mattress. Great to be able to try it out and Ben is super knowledgeable. He gives great input and doesn't try to upsell you. You get the usual holiday weekend sale price at any point in the year. Had such a positive experience here and felt more confident in making the online mattress purchase! read more
