At Sleep King, we carry the largest selection of high-quality national brand mattresses in Charlotte.

The folks at MLILY are committed to precision, meaning every detail of product detail they push is geared towards the ultimate satisfaction and comfort.
Restonic Mattresses: Restonic line of mattresses are multi-layered beds with cooling foam technology that adds resilience, support, and temperature control. The result is a cool, comfy sleep that leaves you refreshed and ready to attack the day.
Every mattress in the Comfort Sleep lineup has a great combo of support and comfort, making for a restful night's sleep. With heavy-gauge coils and high-performance materials, these mattresses are durable and built to last. Be sure to try one of these mattresses out in our showroom - our customers love the pocketed coils and minimal motion transfer.
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 Charlotte.
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 Charlotte, NC. 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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte, 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.

Take that, Raleigh.
Any day we get to say that is a good day. And on this day, we in Charlotte present to you proof, via Southern Living. The publication that knows the South has released its “The South’s Best 2023” guide.
Included in the guide:
When ranking its cities, Southern Living touted Charlotte’s food scene (Shoutout to Leah & Louise, which has also been named to best restaurant lists by Esquire and the New York Times), and the city’s parks, concerts and museums.
We guess Raleigh has some nice things, too — the magazine mentioned restaurants Brewery Bhavana, Poole’s Diner, Boulted Bread and Gallo Pelón. Those are good, just not quite No. 11 good, apparently.
In case you’re wondering, Charleston, South Carolina, got the No. 1 spot this year. We suppose it’s pretty great, too.
Don’t miss the full list — all jokes aside, it’s a bookmarkable roundup of Southern cities for your spring and summer travel plans.
“The macaron selection has reached rainbow proportions, and those croissants can still invade your dreams,” Charlotte Observer alum Kathleen Purvis says about Amelie’s French Bakery & Café.
Purvis also shouted out the soups and sandwiches at the bakery known for its French, artistic vibes. Its tarts, cakes, blondies and, of course, the famous salted caramel brownie also make her list of reasons why Amelie’s is the best bakery in North Carolina.
My personal favorite: A build-your-own breakfast sandwich with egg and cheddar on a croissant, the Spinach Asparagus Leek soup and basically anything on the coffee or dessert menus.
Southern Living also shouted out the following:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A new list names Charlotte as one of the worst cities to live in if you depend on mass transit and don't have your own car.
The list, published by Money Inc, names Charlotte as the 20th worst city on the list.
"This city also has a decent commute for many to get to work, but it’s worth it. It has a booming job market and a more scattered population," Money Inc contributor Dana Hanson wrote. "A car is the only way to enjoy this family-friendly, NASCAR-loving city."
Raleigh, North Carolina also made the list as the 10th worst.
"The gas and insurance rates are lower than most of the rest of the region," Hanson wrote. "If you buy your car in Raleigh, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see that the taxes on that sale are much more reasonable than most other cities."

In March 2022, a new apartment building opened in Charlotte's NoDa neighborhood that did not provide parking for its residents. This abnormality in Charlotte made the opening of The Joinery unusual for the Queen City.
The complex is located at 1824 N. Brevard Street, at the corner of 22nd Street. The Joinery is a six-story apartment building offering 83 units and about 2,000 square feet of retail. SpaceCraft is touting the apartment building as "Charlotte's first trail and transit-focused building."
The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), which already operates buses, light rail, and a street car in Charlotte, is testing a new travel alternative for those without cars: microtransit.
The concept, which is already being used in Durham, Wilson and other cities across North Carolina, allows a passenger to request a pickup and dropoff that can connect them to existing transit lines or their destination. The concept is similar to ridesharing apps like Uber or Lyft but operated by the public transit authority.
You can stream WCNC Charlotte on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, just download the free app.
The cost for a microtransit ride is the same as a bus fare: $2.20. The distance would also be restricted within certain zones.
CATS is hosting multiple meetings in March to hear from the public on its microtransit initiative. CATS received $750,000 through federal funding last June to help implement the program.
CATS is also exploring new transit projects, including a new Silver Line light rail linking Matthews and Charlotte Douglas International Airport. A redesigned bus terminal in Uptown Charlotte is also being explored.

Construction is already underway on Gateway Station, which in the years ahead will link existing bus and Gold Line street car service to a new Amtrak passenger station located within Uptown Charlotte.
City leaders know the goal of the 2040 strategic mobility plan is to make the city more pedestrian and bike-friendly by reducing vehicle trips and making the roads safer.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - The City of Charlotte will open a new passport acceptance office Tuesday at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center in uptown.
It will be a one-stop shop for those looking to get a passport to travel out of the country. This morning the City Clerk’s office held a ribbon cutting for the opening.
The new location in Center City will make it more convenient because until now the closest acceptance location is in northeast Charlotte, about 20 minutes from uptown.
“This is the only passport facility located in the Uptown area,” city clerk Stephanie C. Kelly said in a press release. “The city is pleased to provide this additional convenience to city employees and Uptown residents, workers and visitors.”
The passport processing office was supposed to open in March 2020 but due to the pandemic, the date was moved to March 2023. They are already receiving a lot of inquiries and are booked through the month of March.

Although the location is more convenient, people still need to plan ahead.
Now that COVID-19 has subsided enough to allow people to comfortably travel, they are doing so in big numbers and that’s caused a delay in getting passports.
Right now it’s taking the State Department about eight to 11 weeks to process an application. That doesn’t count the time it takes to get the appointment one needs just to hand in the application; that alone can take a month or more.
“Really, the entire process can easily take now three or four months which means you really have to plan ahead,” Summer Hull, content director for travel website The Points Guy, said. “There’s a lot of people that are ready to travel internationally again, and not everything in the system is fully caught up.”
People can pay an extra $60 to speed up the process by a few weeks.
Plus, once the new passport office opens Tuesday, applicants will want to double-check that application. Due to amount of requests, you won’t be able to get an appointment at the uptown office until April.
Officials say the No. 1 reason an application gets rejected is that they don’t properly fill it out and don’t check over it.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After a three-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charlotte St. Patrick's Day parade and festival returns to Uptown Charlotte.
Celebrations were canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, then again last year when the organizer became ill.
The new organizer, Rory Wall, told WCNC Charlotte when he learned the celebrations were canceled for a third year, he decided he was going to step into the role to continue the Charlotte tradition.
"We hope that this weekend mirrors all of the prior parades," Wall, the chairman of Charlotte St. Patrick's Day Committee, said.
Wall said he expects 100,000 people will be in attendance for the parade and festival.
Local businesses, including Irish pub RiRa, said they're hoping to capitalize on the crowds returning.
Sydney Wilson, a manager at RiRa, said staff members are looking to get back to business as it was before the pandemic.
"They closed our doors for 16 months, and then yes, we did reopen," Wilson started. "So it has been a little bit of a struggle but we've seen that kind of subside in the past year. So we're really amped up and excited this year."
The bar manager said they will open at 9 a.m. on Saturday, earlier than usual. She said they'll have live music starting at 1 p.m. and food and drink specials all day.
"Through our team and the continued support of Charlotte, we're starting to see our business pick up after some tough times," Wilson said.
Beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, the festivities begin on Tryon Street. A parade begins at 11 a.m. The events are being held on the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day.
iting the size of the crowds for the St. Patrick's Day events and a Charlotte FC soccer game, the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) said they will reduce service on the CityLYNX Gold Line streetcar Saturday.
Instead of street cars arriving at stations every twenty minutes, CATS said street cars will arrive at an interval every thirty minutes. The normal schedule is expected to resume at 1 p.m. following the conclusion of the parade.
You can stream WCNC Charlotte on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, just download the free app.
Additionally, the LYNX Blue Line light rail will operate with a 15-minute interval between trains from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. That's 5-minutes more frequently than the usual 20-minute interval on the weekend.

There’s a new location to apply for a passport in Charlotte.
The city recently opened an office in uptown that will accept passport applications for travelers on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.
Located at the clerk’s office in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center at 600 E. 4th St., the facility aims to help alleviate delays and make the process more convenient.
For months, it’s been difficult to get a passport in Charlotte after the State Department in February temporarily suspended its online passport renewals (OPR) service.
Most in-person appointment slots at other offices in the area are filled through April, and travelers can only book appointments up to four weeks in advance.
“The city is pleased to provide this additional convenience to city employees and uptown residents, workers and visitors,” City Clerk Stephanie Kelly said in a statement.
Regular processing could take 8 to 11 weeks, while expedited passports are expected to take 5 to 7 weeks, officials said.
“We understand that it may currently be difficult to find an appointment at an acceptance facility in some areas of the country, including in Charlotte,” a State Department spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer in February. “Appointment availability may fluctuate throughout the year with upticks in demand, especially as we approach the busy season for spring and summer travel.”
Because it is a passport acceptance facility, you will not be able to renew your passport at the city’s new office. If you need to renew your passport, you can do so by mail.
Where: 600 E. 4th St., Charlotte, NC 28202, Suite 159
When: You can schedule passport appointments Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Services are offered in-person by appointment only. Appointments can be made online at charlottenc.gov.
Here are the materials you need to have when applying for a new passport:
There are additional documents needed to get a passport for children 16 and under. Those requirements can be found at travel.state.gov.
Location: 1820 Harris Houston Rd., Charlotte, NC 28262
Appointments are required. You can schedule an appointment online.
Location: 11035 Golf Links Dr., Charlotte, NC 28277
Appointments are required. You can schedule an appointment online.
Location: 8845 Craver Rd., Charlotte, NC 28223
No walk-ins until further notice. Scheduled appointments can be made between 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Call 704 687-5803 or unionstation@uncc.edu for more information.
To check for an open appointment outside of Charlotte, you can access the Passport Acceptance Facility Search Page database at iafdb.travel.state.gov.
