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 Baton Rouge, LA. To help you get started, here are a few tips on choosing the best bed for your sleep needs.
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.
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 Baton Rouge and spend $3,000. Figure out what price range you're comfortable paying and look at the best options for your bottom line.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You read that right! Sleep King is the first choice for quality beds in Baton Rouge, but we also have a huge selection of furniture for your home. If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for mattresses and furniture alike, you have come to the right place. If you're shopping for a new mattress at the best price possible, why not throw in a bedroom suite at an amazing price too?
Living Room Sets - from traditional-style suites with classic textures to modern sets with attractive upholstery, we will help you find the best living room set for your home.
Bedroom Suites - our bedroom suites range from contemporary to classic and come in a variety of colors and styles to compliment your new mattress purchase.
Daybeds - from English-style daybeds available in espresso and cherry colors to multi-purpose beds with pull-out trundles, our selection of daybeds is unbeatable.
Futons - if you have younger children, they will love our futons. Who are we kidding? Adults do too! Futons are incredibly useful in small spaces and convert into comfy-cozy beds perfect for kids of all ages.

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The new school year starts in over a month for East Baton Rouge Parish as school board discussions over staffing, pay and the budget continue in a special meeting Thursday evening.
The school district sent letters to employees dated Monday, June 26 saying to prepare for layoffs.
The forecasted amount of expenditures exceeds revenue, which makes it necessary to eliminate employment positions in the General Fund budget for the 2023-2024 school year.
Dr. Narcisse, Superintendent of Schools, has proposed a budget that eliminates positions and reduces the number of employees. Therefore, it is my responsibility to give notice ot all employees that there is a possibility that your position will be affected.
If so, you will be notified at a later date by a specific notice.
Nicholas Hall, EBRPSS chief human resources officer
In addition to a reduction in force, district employees were previously promised pay raises that might not be an option for all employees.
Four drafts of the budget are available:
Superintendent Sito Narcisse wants to increase employees an 8% pay raise, but school board Vice President Carla Powell wants that increase to be for some and not all. Powell and board member Cliff Lewis said there is not enough money in the budget to give raises to teachers and staff, leaving many people frustrated.
“We do not have money for the increasing rates, we have enough to cover this year, but we do not have any idea on how to sustain it,” said school board member Katie Kennison.
The school district has held town halls with employees, and many are upset that the proposals don’t benefit everyone.
“Don’t eliminate my position as an assistant principal and then tomorrow hire me back as a dean of students because you can get me at a lower pay, that’s not OK either,” said Tomara Espinozn, a Baton Rouge teacher.
The special meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday, June 29. The board will look at the general fund, the special revenue fund and budget proposals, according to the agenda.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - If you’ve dreamed of what could fill the now-empty Winn-Dixie building on Burbank Drive in Baton Rouge, you’re not alone.
Something quite interesting is set to go in, and a Louisiana favorite is at the forefront.
Surge Entertainment by Drew Brees is looking to open a location in the empty Winn-Dixie building.
The location would include bowling, arcade games, zip lines, and more.
At the Lafayette location, parents say it’s a win-win, allowing them to beat the summer heat while keeping their kids active.
“It’s very clean, safe for the kids and of course, the indoor sports keep them active,” said parent Holly Bolivar.
Once open in Baton Rouge, parents and kids both will have the chance to make new friends. It’s something the Bolivar family says is needed since they just moved to the state.
“You also get to meet people. We already met a family in there,” Bolivar added.
Surge Entertainment is looking to cater to people of all ages, adding things parents would also enjoy.
“Kids can get involved. Parents can come work on their swing with the golf simulator. They have bowling, a whole variety of things,” said Ethan Cope.
Back in Baton Rouge, next door to the soon-to-be entertainment center, Our Mom’s managers Ashley Falcon and Shatara Williams say the grocery store increased their foot traffic and hope the new business does the same.
“I just want to see more kids and family coming over, you know, come here after playing or before or after eating, you know, play then come eat. Come grab a bite to eat,” said Williams.
Sign permits have been filed but an open date is still up in the air.
What you may find interesting is that what’s inside the already open complexes may not be included in the Baton Rouge location.
WAFB is told Surge Entertainment by Drew Brees likes to switch things up from location to location to provide families with a unique experience when they visit.
The new facility is currently projected to open by the end of 2023.
We are excited to be opening a Family Entertainment Center in Baton Rouge!!!The new Surge Entertainment by Drew Brees will be located at 5555 Burbank Road in Baton Rouge and is currently projected to open by the end of 2023!https://t.co/U3RKULwy8d#surgefun #BatonRouge pic.twitter.com/cw9iFfrCMp

Baton Rouge is in the middle of its hottest month in history — and forecasters say to brace for six straight days of temperatures over 100 degrees, starting Sunday.
A string of six days above 100 degrees would be tied for the third-longest streak in recorded history, according to the National Weather Service. The record was an eight-day stretch from Aug. 19 to Aug. 26 in 1921.
National Weather Service meteorologist Christopher Bannan said the high temperatures are due to low rainfall and a dominant high pressure ridge over the southwestern and south central United States pushing into the area.
"With the ridge of high pressure basically sitting over us, sitting right to our west, it’s keeping most of the rain outside of the area," he said. "Without the increase in cloud cover and without the rain to help kind of cool things off it’s allowing us to really heat up during the day.”
While the normal average temperature for July in Baton Rouge is 82.6 degrees, this month has seen an average daily temperature of 87.6 degrees — largely due to particularly hot mornings.
The average morning low temperatures this month are significantly higher, at 77.9 degrees, than the previous record for average morning low temperature of 76.7 degrees set in August 2010.
"Even though it’s not that far above normal as far as the average high is, it’s the fact that our morning lows have been so warm that’s allowing the high temperature to kind of jump up,” Bannan said.
While July has been a historically sweltering month, the trend of exceptionally hot weather began earlier this summer.
The Baton Rouge airport recorded its highest ever average June temperature at 84 degrees this summer, and June 30 marked the first time Baton Rouge surpassed a high of 100 degrees since August 2015.
The National Weather Service predicts that the heat will reach a significant risk level next week — potentially reaching "extreme," the highest heat risk level category.
It may be easier to suffer from heat strokes or heat exhaustion under an extreme heat risk.
NWS officials advise people to stay hydrated and wear loose-fitting clothing as temperatures continue to rise.
If people are outside during dangerously high temperatures, they can suffer from heat illness. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
To treat heat exhaustion, you should move to a cooler area, loosen any tight clothing and sip water. If symptoms don't improve, then those experiencing heat exhaustion should seek medical attention.
If heat exhaustion isn't treated, it can lead to heat stroke. Those suffering can experience:
If you're with someone who is experiencing heat stroke, you should call 911. If someone with heat stroke doesn't get treated quickly, they can be permanently disabled or even die from the heat.
Certain groups are more likely to suffer from heat illness than others. The elderly, people with chronic illness or who are pregnant, and children are the most vulnerable. Children and pets should not be left in the car unattended during especially hot days.
Those who have to go outside for work or exercise are advised to limit strenuous activities, take breaks in the shade and stay hydrated.

After a long wait, the Baton Rouge Pro Hockey team has a name: Baton Rouge Zydeco Hockey.
On May 27, the team announced that it had narrowed its list of potential names down to just three. On June 6, the team made a Facebook post asking fans to be patient with the name.
“Naming the team is a lengthy process. We estimated end of May / beginning June,” the organization wrote in Facebook post. “We are only 6 days into June. There is a process of narrowing down names, reviewing history, legal procedures and graphic design processes. The season starts in late October. We have plenty of time. We will announce a name soon! Please continue to be patient as we iron out some final touches.”
The name Zydeco was selected to represent Louisiana and Baton Rouge's energy and culture.
"By choosing the name Zydeco, we are honoring the rich history and traditions that have shaped Louisiana’s community," team owner Barry Soskin said in a press release. "We believe in creating a sports team that not only excels on the ice but also reflects the unique culture and spirit of Baton Rouge."
The team was first announced by city leaders on April 11 and is slated to start its season in October of this year and runs until May of 2024.
The first game will be held on Oct. 26 against the Columbus River Dragons. It will play in 28 home games a year at the Raising Canes River Center, which holds a 3-year lease.
"This is a major market and it needs to be handled accordingly," Soskin said. "As long as I build steps every year and we continue to grow, I'm happy."
It played three exhibition games earlier this year and drew around 7,000 fans for each game.
Baton Rouge previously was home to a hockey team from 1996 to 2002 called the Kingfish. Though the team was popular at first, attendance slowly fell each year.
“The new team will bring new entertainment options, create jobs and stimulate economic growth,” Baton Rouge Mayor Sharon Weston Broome said. “We can expect to see increased tourism as fans from all over the region come to watch games and explore all Baton Rouge has to offer. The benefits of having a hockey team in Baton Rouge go beyond the economic impact. It will also help foster community pride and unity.”
