Our Blog - "Christine's Corner"

I'm Christine Cook, President of Sleep Experts. As a wife and mother of two, I am most proud of our company's commitment to serving D/FW families in need through our Rest Assured mattress donation program. Through this blog I hope to share news and stories that will inspire others to join us in supporting the many nonprofit organizations in our community that serve families and children in crisis.

And from time to time, I'll also share sleep tips, advice on finding the right mattress, or other fun news and information.  Thanks for reading, and we hope you "Love Your Mattress"!

Eagle Scouts build beds for residents of Jacob's House

I want to share the inspiring story of Scott Evetts of Dallas and his fellow Eagle Scouts, who approached the Sleep Experts Rest Assured team to request a donation of twin mattresses.  These young men worked hard to build and deliver eight twin bed sets to Jacob's House, a group home in North Oak Cliff run by the Well Community, a faith-based provider of mental health services to low-income people experiencing mental illness.  Scott and his friends raised more than $3,000 and completed their project with an $800 surplus that will be used to fund other improvements to Jacob's House.  Scott has posted video clips of his project, so you can watch and be inspired too -- way to go Scott!
