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 St. Stephen.
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 St. Stephen, SC. To help you get started, here are a few tips on choosing the best bed for your sleep needs.
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.
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 St. Stephen and spend $3,000. Figure out what price range you're comfortable paying and look at the best options for your bottom line.
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.
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
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
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.

Once again St Stephens college and Delhi University (DU) are at loggerheads with each other over the admission process. The DU VC Yogesh Singh said that the CUET admission process will be followed 100 per cent in all colleges that include St Stephen’s as well.
“We are in talks with St Stephen’s college we believe this time they should not have any issue in carrying out the admission process the way it is stated in the university prospectus. Last time they conducted interviews only for minority students this time there will be no interview for either non-minority or minority students,” Singh told News18.com.

However, St Stephen’s College has a different take on the issue. “The matter is in SC. We will deal with it there. I don’t know how can someone take such calls when the matter is sub judice. We will do what the court will ask us to do,” principal John Verghese told News18.com.

Last year in April, St Stephen’s college issued a circular stating that it will provide admissions based on the 85:15 (CUET: interview) formula for all seat categories. The Delhi University at that point informed St Stephen’s that any admission made by it in violation of CUET guidelines will be declared null and void. The university, also stated there could not be a separate admission process for one college when the other 62 were taking only the CUET score into account for admission.
St Stephen’s College later moved Delhi high court, which ruled in favour of the university. The court directed the college to issue a fresh admission prospectus and give 100 per cent weightage to the CUET score. The college further challenged the order in the Supreme Court which directed the college to conduct admission for the general category on the basis of CUET score and can take interviews of minority students for the reserved seat.
However, this time the Delhi University VC says that there will no interviews for the general or minority category students. Though the Supreme Court had dismissed the petition filed by St Stephen’s in October last year, the college says the matter is still in the court and a decision will be taken based on what the court says.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Billboards by AFFA Remind South Carolinians that Religion Does Not Excuse Bigotry and Hate
AFFA is a social justice organization that strives to achieve equality and full acceptance for the LGBTQ+ in South Carolina through support, advocacy, and education with businesses, schools, service providers, and government organizations.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Billboards by AFFA Remind South Carolinians that Religion Does Not Excuse Bigotry and Hate
People who use religion to excuse their bigotry and hate hurt our children and damage our communities. We must work towards a South Carolina where all people are valued and respected.
— Chase Glenn, AFFA Executive Director
"People who use religion to excuse their bigotry and hate hurt our children and damage our communities," said AFFA Executive Director Chase Glenn. "Everyone has the right to live free from discrimination and persecution, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Seven strategically-positioned and familiar-looking billboards across the state aim to remind South Carolinians that God loves and accepts LGBTQ+ people. The accompanying God Loves Trans Kids and LGBTQ+ People website directs visitors to resource, donation, and advocacy pages where they can take action to support the efforts of AFFA and LGBTQ+ people statewide.
As a social justice organization achieving equality and acceptance for LGBTQ+ people since 1998, AFFA has long been supported by multiple religious and faith communities.
Rabbi Greg Kanter of Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim in Charleston, who supports AFFA's mission, commented: "Our faith teaches us to build the world with deeds of loving kindness. There we find God and each other. There is no room for hate."
“LGBTQ+ people are an integral part of the human family who are all loved and cherished by God,” said Reverend Adam Shoemaker of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. “We believe affirming legislation that fully supports marriage equality and LGBTQ+ families is what justice looks like, for justice is what love looks like in public.”
The hurtful messages and actions of some religious organizations and individuals have deeply wounded LGBTQ+ people.
AFFA stands in solidarity with all those harmed by discriminatory actions and messages from religious organizations and individuals. AFFA is committed to creating a more inclusive South Carolina.
"Change is only possible if we commit to working towards a South Carolina where all people are valued and respected," added Glenn. "By standing together and advocating for change, we can create a better future for all of us."
Visit God Loves Trans Kids and LGBTQ+ People for more information and to donate to the cause.

First Coast Varsity Weekly: Ballpark no-no latest feat from Sandalwood's Cooper Whited

A no-hit win for a Jacksonville baseball team, in the downtown professional ballpark. Northeast Florida fans have waited a long time for that combination.
Sandalwood senior Cooper Whited ended that wait — in a high school game.
Demonstrating his electric arm at the home of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Whited pitched the best game of an excellent high school career with Wednesday's no-hitter in the Saints' 2-0 shutout of rival Fletcher.
Whited, committed to Gulf Coast State College, struck out nine and walked only two batters in a rematch of the 2022 Gateway Conference championship. The game was part of a week-long showcase for area high school teams at 121 Financial Ballpark.
The no-no continues an excellent start for the Saints (5-2) and for Whited, who is now 2-0 with an 0.93 ERA, 20 strikeouts and three hits allowed all season. He's also batting .444 with four doubles, a triple and a 1.302 OPS.
For a ballpark that holds 75 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp ballgames per year, a no-hitter at 121 Financial Ballpark is a surprisingly rare sight.
The last minor league no-hitter at the park occurred on June 14, 2018, when Jackson Generals pitchers Justin Donatella, Daniel Gibson, Kirby Bellow, Kevin Ginkel and Brad Goldberg combined to beat the Jumbo Shrimp 6-0. Other than rain-shortened games, the last no-hitter win for Jacksonville came in the Southern League playoffs on Sept. 8, 2005, a combined no-no from Chad Billingsley and Jonathan Broxton.
And for a complete game no-hitter of seven innings or more by a Jacksonville team at home, it's an even longer trip back in time. That goes back to Kevin Mobley's no-hitter for the Jacksonville Suns against the Tennessee Smokies, 1-0, in the second game of a doubleheader at the old Wolfson Park on Aug. 3, 2000.
Whited's no-no wasn't the only standout performance from a week of action at the ballpark. On Tuesday, University Christian's Austin Pickett pitched to only the minimum number of batters in a 1-0 win over Atlantic Coast. The leadoff batter singled but was immediately caught stealing, and Pickett retired the remaining Stingrays in order.
St. Johns Country Day senior Taliah Scott wins Gatorade Player of the Year
Sharks chomp past Virginia school
The Mid-Atlantic may be the nation's traditional lacrosse hotbed, but Ponte Vedra carried the flag high for the Sunshine State.
Making the trip up the Atlantic coastline, the Sharks' boys squad earned a 16-14 victory on Friday against St. Stephen's and St. Agnes of Virginia.
Maddox Johnson led the attack with eight goals, while Corey Bloss and Canon Hauseman scored three each, Lad Harper won 20 of 31 faceoffs and goalie Jack Pelot stopped 20 shots.
Ponte Vedra went 1-1 on its trip, losing 14-2 on Sunday in light snow to nationally-ranked Potomac (Md.) Bullis. The Sharks' slate of multi-state opposition includes schools from South Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania still to come.
Coachman, Lewis lead Clay County hoops
After a one-loss regular season and a visit to the Florida High School Athletic Association regional semifinals, Oakleaf led the honors in Clay County's annual all-county boys basketball selection, as voted by area coaches.
Center Cameron Coachman, who earned a spot on the national leaderboard with 126 blocks this season, and senior guard Dylan Lewis earned first-team berths for the 24-2 Knights.
Joining them on the first team were Clay's J'Den Golding, Fleming Island's Axel Holmquist, Orange Park's Thomas Faucett and Ridgeview's Kole Whitaker.
Second-team choices were Clay's Xavier Longmire, Fleming Island's Ethan Williams, Keystone Heights' Seth Gagnon, Middleburg's Aidan Farber, Orange Park's Archieve Triggs III and Ridgeview's Calen Wiggins.
Singletary selects Razorbacks
Former Riverside cornerback Jaheim Singletary is taking his five-star talents across the SEC, transferring from Georgia to Arkansas.
Singletary, the Times-Union's All-First Coast defensive player of the year in 2021, transferred after one season at Football Bowl Subdivision champion Georgia. He appeared in three games as a true freshman.
He intercepted 14 passes during four seasons at Riverside, which was still known as Lee when he enrolled.
Arkansas previously added another Northeast Florida transfer over the winter when former Suwannee offensive lineman Joshua Braun transferred from Florida.
Frechette hits 400-point milestone
Welcome to the 400-point club for Ryann Frechette.
After only two-plus years of high school girls lacrosse, the Bartram Trail junior attacker reached the milestone last week in Friday's 21-11 victory against Oviedo. The Bears (8-1), ranked seventh in the South by USA Lacrosse Magazine, also defeated Creekside 18-7 during the week.
The Florida-committed Frechette has scored 278 goals and 124 assists, despite an ACL injury that cut short her freshman season. With 63 goals and 19 assists this season, she ranks fourth in scoring in the 2023 national MaxPreps list, although many states begin play later than Florida.
She's also kept up her scoring pace in spite of other challenges this year, including injuries to teammates and an FHSAA appeal over a potential Name, Image and Likeness contract with Maryland-based equipment manufacturer STX. The FHSAA board of directors ultimately denied that appeal last month, ruling that Frechette may not sign the NIL deal under the association's bylaws.
Frechette still has a long way to go to challenge the state and national record, though. Caitlyn Wurzburger, now a senior at North Carolina, scored 1,027 points (503 goals, 524 assists) at Delray Beach American Heritage from 2014-19, although Wurzburger's record was compiled over six years and is not certified by the National Federation of State High School Associations record books.
Maddox pacing Golden Eagles flag squad
Two decades of football at Fleming Island have produced plenty of stars. Add MyKayla Maddox to that list — but this time, it's flag football.
Already a state semifinalist in 2022, the senior has led the Golden Eagles to a 4-0 start that's sparking early hopes of a return trip to the FHSAA tournament in May.
Maddox delivered one of the performances of the season in Thursday's 32-0 win over previously-unbeaten White. She rushed for 88 yards and four touchdowns, and threw for 145 yards and a fifth score.
That effort came after a similarly dominant outing in a 40-0 rout of Mandarin: 71 rushing yards (two touchdowns), 133 passing yards (four touchdowns) and two interceptions on defense.
Despite outscoring opponents 111-0 this year, the Golden Eagles don't own Northeast Florida's highest point differentials. Paxon (5-0) has rolled over its foes by a combined 234-12, and Stanton (5-0) has rolled up 155 points while allowing none.
Also worth watching: Bradford. Winner of only four games in 2022, the young Tornadoes have whirled to a 6-0 start. Sophomore Nichelle Brown is up to 20 touchdowns on the year, while freshman Arnaysia Griffin has passed for 995 yards and rushed for 486 with 14 offensive touchdowns.
After audible, Riles heads for ECU
University Christian edge rusher Desirrio Riles committed Monday to East Carolina, six weeks after signing with Indiana on National Signing Day. He announced his move on Twitter.
Riles, who played quarterback, tight end and edge rusher at different stages of his four-year career at UC, is planning to line up at tight end for the Pirates. As reported first by 247Sports, he received his release from his letter of intent with Indiana after his February signing.
At East Carolina, he would join Creekside graduate Shane Calhoun at the tight end position. Riles caught 17 passes for 280 yards and four touchdowns this year, after shifting from quarterback upon the emergence of sophomore Dwayne Stuckey.
