The Golden brand is lesser known than some, like Tempurpedic. Still, it is a quality product with many foam and non-foam options that we think you'll love. Choose from standard memory foam, hybrid, and innerspring options while visiting our showroom in Atlanta.

Tips on Choosing the Best Bed

There's much more to choosing a good bed than how you think it will look in your bedroom. There's plenty to think about, from innerspring options to memory foam and even hybrid mattresses. At Sleep King, our priority is our customers. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service. We want to do right by you, which why we want to be sure you find the perfect bed when you visit our mattress store in Atlanta, GA. To help you get started, here are a few tips on choosing the best bed for your sleep needs.

Visit a Showroom

Visit a Showroom

This tip might seem like a no-brainer to some, but it's important that you visit a showroom so that you can lay on different beds to get a feel for what you like. At Mattress King, you will have the chance to explore different styles, designs, and shapes, and mattress materials. Finding a bed online at a price you can afford is great, but you should lie on the bed first, not just look at it on a screen.

Mattress Store Atlanta, GA
Determine Budget

Determine Budget

Here's a surprising fact: just because a mattress costs more money, it doesn't mean it's going to be a better bed. Sure, more expensive beds might have newer technologies and materials, but not everyone has the budget to walk into a mattress store in Atlanta and spend $3,000. Figure out what price range you're comfortable paying and look at the best options for your bottom line.

Mattress Store Atlanta, GA
Consider Bedroom Size

Consider Bedroom Size

Before you swing by our showroom and start trying out beds, it might be a good idea to measure the space where your new mattress will go. If your bedroom is on the small side, a king-sized bed might be too big. Similarly, a small bed in a huge room might make for strange aesthetics. Aim for a reasonable amount of room around your bed - enough where you can walk around comfortably. As mentioned above, get specific measurements of the area you plan to use. That way, you have peace of mind knowing your new mattress will fit in your bedroom.

Consider Bedroom Size

Choose a Mattress Material

This tip often comes down to personal preference. It will take a little bit of trial and error to figure out which material works best for your back - innerspring, memory foam, or latex. While your friend's and family's opinions matter, keep in mind that their mattress choice was subjective. What works for them won't necessarily work for you.

Need a quick refresher on different mattress materials? Here's a quick overview
Mattress Store Atlanta, GA

Innerspring

Also called coil mattresses, innerspring beds are probably the most well-known on this short list. Innerspring mattresses are often more affordable than their latex and memory foam counterparts. These beds are ideal for people who want a lot of support and a cooler night's sleep.

Latex

This material is known for its great cooling properties and overall comfort. With latex, there are no strange off-gassing odors like you sometimes get with memory foam. Latex mattresses are ideal for people who want a responsive, bouncy feel and may have problems sleeping hot.

Memory Foam

First developed by NASA in the 70s, memory foam is probably the most popular material in the modern mattress market. Memory foam conforms to every inch of your body, giving you maximum comfort and support. Memory foam is also know for its anti-motion properties. Memory foam can be a great choice if you tend to toss and turn at night and sleep with a partner who wakes up when you do. Memory foam mattresses are ideal for people who need pressure relief, good support, and refreshing comfort.

Think About Your Back

Think About Your Back

If you have a bad back, it's crucial that you find a mattress with proper support. Slat and spring beds often offer plenty of support, but latex and memory foam options have come a long way. If you want memory foam or latex but find the support to be subpar, consider an adjustable base instead of a normal platform. That way, you can always sleep in a comfortable position that benefits your back.

With shifting tides in Major League Baseball come vastly different rosters for the All-Star Game. And the 93rd Midsummer Classic on July 11 at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park will reflect the game’s burgeoning young talent as well as the changing complexion of the standings.

Full rosters for the game were announced on Sunday and joining the starters will be a bevy of first-timers who could be long-timers. Leading that charge are seven National League starting pitchers making All-Star debuts, including strikeout king Spencer Strider of the Atlanta Braves.

Meanwhile, teams that have separated themselves from the pack were justly rewarded. The Texas Rangers, surprise leaders of the American League West, earned six total selections – including pitcher Nate Eovaldi, a solid candidate to start the game – along with their four starters. The Baltimore Orioles received four, most since 2016 as their resurgence includes a quartet of first-time All-Stars.

And the Atlanta Braves, who recently capped a June in which they hit 61 home runs – a record for any month – had eight players named to the team.

Players named to the roster Sunday came via the players’ vote as well as manager selections in conjunction with the league, ensuring all 30 teams are represented. A bevy of roster additions will come to replace injured players and starting pitchers whose schedule will not allow them to pitch in the game.

AL starting pitchers

LH Shane McClanahan, Rays: Leads majors with 11 wins, paired with 2.53 ERA and .211 opponents’ batting average, but a back injury will prevent him from pitching in the game.

RH Michael Lorenzen, Tigers: A first-time electee and the lone Tiger has a 1.17 WHIP.

Elias Diaz, Rockies: Colorado's only representative has been its biggest bright spot, with a 1.8 WAR.

NL outfielders

Nick Castellanos, Phillies: Carrying the Phillies at times, Castellanos is third in the NL with a .316 average and has 12 homers and an .874 OPS.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Diamondbacks: Arizona was the big winner a deal sending Gurriel to the desert, as he's hit 13 home runs and has a 118 adjusted OPS.

Juan Soto, Padres: He's overcome a slow start, which is more that can be said for his club, as Soto is second in the NL with a .424 OBP and fifth with a .926 OPS.

Jorge Soler, Marlins: The DH and 2021 World Series MVP is finally an All-Star at 31, thanks to 22 homers and a 134 adjusted OPS.

RH Mitch Keller, Pirates: Won nine games and struck out 118 in 105 innings.

LH Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers: His 2.55 ERA ranks sixth in the NL.

RH Bryce Elder, Braves: A modern rarity with a fastball that only touches the low 90s - yet he's second in the NL with a 2.44 ERA.

RH Spencer Strider, Braves: Elder's opposite number on his staff, Strider punches out batters with urgency - an NL-leading 155 in 98 1/3 innings, 37 more than any NL pitcher.

RH Josiah Gray, Nationals: The lone Nationals rep has tossed 95 innings with a 1.38 WHIP.

NL relievers

RH Camilo Doval, Giants: NL-leading 24 saves with 53 strikeouts in 38 innings

LH Josh Hader, Padres: The fifth All-Star nod but first in San Diego, where his 0.94 WHIP is as stingy as ever.

RH Devin Williams, Brewers: Hader's Milwaukee replacement earns his second All-Star nod but first as a closer, with 17 saves and a 0.98 WHIP.

SUV of Georgia woman who vanished over 2 weeks ago found torched in Atlanta area

The family of a missing Georgia woman is pleading for help after her vehicle was found torched and in pieces near Atlanta.

Imani Roberson, a mother of four young children, was last seen July 16 in Conyers, about 24 miles southeast of Atlanta, the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office said.

She vanished following a dinner at her mother's home, her family and Sheriff Eric Levett said at a news conference on Wednesday.

Roberson's mother, Clarine Andujar-White, said she last saw her daughter on July 16 for a family meal. Roberson left her mother's house around 5:30 p.m. with two of her children, ages 3 and 1 month, according to the sheriff. Andujar-White said they were headed back to Roberson's home.

The other two children, 11 and 9, stayed at the grandmother's house, according to Levett.

The following day, Andujar-White called her daughter repeatedly but she did not answer, Levett said. Andujar-White went by Roberson's home and found no one there, according to the sheriff. Andujar-White filed a missing person's report on July 17.

All four of Roberson's children are safe, the sheriff told reporters declining to provide further details about their whereabouts.

"I will leave that up to the family to clarify that," he said.

Authorities obtained a search warrant for the home Roberson shared with her children and husband, the sheriff said. Information led them to South Fulton County, where Roberson's burned out vehicle was found.

Images provided by Roberson's family to NBC News affiliate WXIA in Atlanta appear to show charred pieces of the white Mazda SUV still littering the site where the vehicle was found. And video from a neighbor's doorbell camera, also provided by her family to WXIA, appears to show the vehicle pulling out of Roberson's driveway the evening she went missing.

The sheriff's office is asking the public to contact them if they believe they have any information that could help with the investigation.

"There are children that need their mother and we are going to continue to search and investigate this case until we find Imani," Sheriff Levett said Wednesday. "I have assured the family that we are going to find her daughter."

Andujar-White said she knows her daughter "would never leave her children or myself."

"Imani loves her children," she said at the news conference. "Please help me reunite these babies with their mother."

NBC News has reached out to the family for comment.

Falcons CB Jeff Okudah set for MRI on ankle injured in camp

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah was carted off the field during Friday's practice after suffering a right ankle injury early in practice, with coach Arthur Smith saying Okudah will have an MRI to learn the severity of the injury.

Okudah, 24, was injured during a one-on-one drill against the Atlanta receivers. He was on the ground for a minute or two before a cart came to the side of the field to take him back to the locker room. While he was on the cart, a trainer was holding Okudah's right leg.

"You really never know until you get an MRI," Smith said after practice. "The longer you're in this, you see things that looked awful and thankfully the guy's OK, or that didn't look very bad, a little incidental bump, and that's kind of what happened to [Ethan] Greenidge the other day and unfortunately he's going to have to have surgery, so he goes on IR."

Smith said he hopes the MRI gives them optimistic news and that Okudah will eventually return.

After the injury, Smith spoke briefly to the defensive backs, who all took a knee before returning to practice.

"It sucks," said running back Cordarrelle Patterson, who didn't see the injury because he was working on the other field. "Jeff has been working his ass off each and every day proving his self, and a guy to go down like that, it sucks."

In April, the Falcons traded with the Detroit Lions for Okudah, who is in the final year of his rookie contract. Okudah, the No. 3 pick in the 2020 NFL draft out of Ohio State, has dealt with a multitude of injuries in his career. He played 10 games over his first two seasons because of a groin injury that required surgery in 2020 and a ruptured left Achilles in 2021.

"Unfortunately, Jeff's had some injuries, and sometimes it's not just physically with rehab -- it's mentally," Smith said. "There's a lot of obstacles you have to overcome, and we're mindful of that."

Okudah was slated to start opposite AJ Terrell, who was the No. 16 pick in the 2020 draft. After Okudah's injury, Tre Flowers took his spot with the first unit. The Falcons have tried to build their depth at cornerback this offseason, and Okudah was expected to be the fourth straight different Week 1 starter opposite Terrell at cornerback after Isaiah Oliver in 2020, Fabian Moreau in 2021 and Casey Hayward in 2022.

Smith mentioned Cornell Armstrong, rookie Clark Phillips and slot corners Dee Alford and Mike Hughes as part of the cornerback group.

"There's a lot of really good competition, and we feel like we have good depth in the DB room," Smith said. "So if it's something short term, somebody's got to step up."

In 2022, Okudah started 15 games for Detroit, making 73 tackles with seven passes defended and an interception.

Max Fried rejoining Braves rotation after 3-month absence

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves have baseball's best record, and now they're getting their best pitcher back.

Max Fried is set to rejoin the Braves' rotation on Friday when the team opens a weekend series at the Chicago Cubs, providing a huge boost to a team that already is a leading World Series contender.

"Just getting back out there and competing, being with those guys, it's one of my favorite places to be," Fried said after Atlanta's 12-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

Fried, runner-up for the NL Cy Young Award a year ago, has made only five starts in the majors this season, the last coming on May 5. A strained left forearm sent him to the injured list for nearly three months.

But after four rehab appearances in the minor leagues, Fried feels like it's Opening Day all over again.

He's especially thrilled to be making his comeback at Wrigley Field -- against former teammate Dansby Swanson, who signed with the Cubs last offseason after helping the Braves win five straight division titles and the 2021 World Series championship.

"It'll be fun," Fried said. "Obviously, we have a lot of memories with him playing behind me."

The Braves (69-37) are eager to have their ace back on the mound as they try to lock up another NL East crown. They have a commanding 12-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies.

"It's awesome," manager Brian Snitker said. "I can't wait to get him out there."

Fried will join a rotation that includes All-Stars Spencer Strider (12-3) and Bryce Elder (8-2), but has looked a bit thin most of the season because of injuries to Fried and Kyle Wright.

Wright, who led the majors with 21 wins last season, also has made just five starts because of right shoulder issues. He has started throwing off the mound, but in the best-case scenario isn't expected to be available until the final month of the regular season.

Fried is ready to go now, which should give the Braves four solid starters with 39-year-old Charlie Morton (10-9) part of the mix.

Atlanta didn't make a big splash at the trade deadline. Instead, the Braves are treating Fried like their biggest addition heading toward the postseason.

"Max is Max," third baseman Austin Riley said. "Obviously, he's been a supercompetitive player. He loves to win, loves to compete. When you get a guy like him back, you've got to be excited."

Fried wasn't overly dominant in his rehab stint. He allowed 12 hits and five runs over nine innings in three appearances for Triple-A Gwinnett, to go along with three scoreless innings in one outing for Class A Rome.

"I feel like I've been able to get a really good test of how my pitches are working in the zone against guys," Fried said. "Now, I'm just going to go out there and trust it at Wrigley.

"I'll definitely have some butterflies and jitters before I go out there."
