What Do You Pay for Comfort?

 
Ernie R. of Houston bought a Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic sleep set about two Saturdays ago and his family is already singing the praises of the world's greatest miracle mattress.  "Let me back up a bit and give you a history of what we have gone through," Ernie said, "first, we had a Simmons mattress that we bought and I'm just gonna say it - that thing was not worth a crap.  After that we got one of those spin-off memory mattresses, you know, at an alternate store.  That didn't work, either."

Turns out that Ernie's wife was bearing the worst of the bad night's sleep.  "My wife has a very stressful job, and I mean very stressful - she has back aches, neck aches, a knot in her shoulder that won't go away.  It had gotten to the point where she is so stiff and the pain was so bad that when she turned in her seat in the car she had to maneuver her whole body to check blind spots."

Ernie felt bad, because he had felt that he tried everything - "You start trying everything because this is the woman you love, and so it visits to the chiropractor, professional deep tissue massages, the heat massages, heating pads, the whole thing.  Finally we went to Gallery Furniture and got a Tempur-Pedic that Saturday when enough was enough."

Turns out they were pleased starting with the delivery of their Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic, before they even had gotten a night's sleep in it.  "Let me tell you, we bought it on a Saturday and got it that same night - and I am glad that I had the Gallery Furniture delivery team put it together, because that thing was a beast to assemble.  There was no way I could do it, and the Gallery Furniture guys did it fast."

And now, two weeks later, how is everything at Ernie's house with their Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic?

"My wife is so happy, and that makes me happy - she sleeps through the night.  The neck pain?  That's gone.  The knot in the shoulder?  That's gone.   Shoulder pains? Those are gone.  I mean, she sleeps through the night without waking up once, and that's great.  The bed is fantastic!"

Ernie did have one last passing thought on the Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic, one to share with his great fellow Gallery Furniture customers.  "I thought to myself, man, this is a lot to pay for a mattress - it really just, wow, it's a lot.  But when you sit and think about it - what DO you pay for comfort?"

00 Gets a Great Night's Sleep

Gallery Furniture has delighted thousands upon thousands of Texans over the past six years by providing them with a great night's sleep.  Customers just like you often say "The Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic sleep set changed my life forever - and for the better!  Now I sleep for eight hours without waking up every hour and I have more energy and a renewed zest for living - more than I ever had before!"  So it comes as no surprise that both the Gallery Furniture regular and adjustable Tempur-Pedic sleep systems are the most recommended item sold at Gallery Furniture by a 10-1 margin. 

Hardly a day goes by when a Gallery Furniture customer comes in with the same Tempur-Pedic tale: "Mack!  I was staying over at my in-law's and they had a Tempur-Pedic and it was the greatest night sleep I had in ages!" And so in they come, to get a great night's sleep on a Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic for themselves.

Recently, an old friend of Gallery Furniture's came in complaining of horrible back aches - a common ailment that many folks come to Gallery Furniture for a Tempur-Pedic sleep set to help alleviate.  Just who was this old friend?  Well, he is one of the most storied sports figures of Houston, and is none other than the legendary 00 himself - former Houston Oiler and Pro-Bowler Ken Burrough.   A great man and one of the great NFL wide receivers, Kenny led all wide receivers in the NFL with 1,063 yards in 1975 and now he proudly represents his alma mater, Texas Southern University, as a director of Community Relations.  In his new position of being an ambassador to his school, you can bet that Kenny is on his feet for the most of his work week, and his constant public appearances means he needs the energy and vitality that come with a great night's sleep on a Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic.

Kenny sat down with Gallery Furniture and explained his reason for wanting a Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic Rhapsody Sleep Set.  "I tell you what, let's be honest - over ten years of playing football you get beat up a bit and I knew that Mack, who is a great family friend, and his people would find me the perfect Tempur-Pedic, and that's exactly what they did.  I got busy working and kept putting it off, but that was a bad move.  You need to take care of your back, that's one of the most important areas to keep in good health.  So, I came in for my Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic." 

Kenny has a speaking engagement later this evening for some of Houston's young football athletes where he was going to do some motivational speaking, and so we'll have to deliver and set-up his Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic a little bit later, but rest assured that the Gallery Furniture delivery team will set-up, install, and have ready his Gallery Furniture Rhapsody Tempur-Pedic fast, fast, fast.  Almost as fast as Kenny's legendary 4.3 football speed (at 6'4 and 230 lbs, no less).

This is How We Roll.

At Gallery Furniture, it's all about delighting customers. Period, paragraph, end of argument.  Just a few days ago, a gentleman came into Gallery Furniture at 6006 I-45 North between Tidwell and Parker with a most urgent request.  His wife had recently had open heart surgery at the Texas Medical Center and was returning to their home in The Woodlands that same afternoon.   During the outpatient release conference, the doctor had recommended that his wife sleep on a Tempur-Pedic adjustable mattress - this way her body can rest more comfortably and thus speed up the trip down the road of recovery.

Since this was happening in real-time, this thoughtful husband found his way to Gallery Furniture with an idea to surprise his wife with the world's greatest mattress - the Gallery Furniture Adjustable Tempur-Pedic Sleep Set.  Knowing that only one store in America could possibly fulfill his request is what drove this great customer to come to Gallery Furniture for an adjustable Tempur-Pedic.  He came in and said very matter-of-factly: "I gotta have this Tempur-Pedic adjustable bed and it needs to be in my home, installed, and set up in two hours before my wife arrives so I can surprise her!'

The Gallery Furniture crew sprang into high gear, and a phone call was made to the relocated Gallery Furniture warehouse in Sugarland (moved there due to the devastating fire of May 21st) - and it was communicated in no uncertain terms that this delivery to The Woodlands must be fully set-up in less than two hours.   Following in the footsteps of the famous 217 B.C. crossing of the Alps by Hannibal and his army, the warehouse replied simply "Sir, we will find a way or make the way."

Readers should keep in mind the distance from the Gallery Furniture Sugarland Warehouse to The Woodlands location is roughly 55 miles - and the Gallery Furniture warehouse team must not only load the Gallery Furniture Adjustable Tempur-Pedic sleep set into the truck, but the delivery team must set up and have this Allura model operational within two hours.   Well, wouldn't you know it - the highly customer-focused world-class Gallery Furniture delivery team made their goal by having the Allura Adjustable Tempur-Pedic set-up, installed, and ready for use within one hour and forty-five minutes.  As a matter of fact, the Gallery Furniture delivery crew passed the arriving couple on the way out the door, with a very happy husband and a lovely wife well on her road to recovery thanks to the miracle mattress that is the Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic.  All with fifteen minutes to spare.

This is how Gallery Furniture rolls.

A Visit from a USO Volunteer at Gallery Furniture

Don Thomas dropped by Gallery Furniture today, and took time to tell his Gallery Furniture story.  "I had to come in and tell Mack that I remembered all these years later when my son had just moved to Houston and boy, let me tell you, he was just starting out at his first real job and I went up and asked Mack if there was anything we could do for my boy - and wouldn't ya know it, he went ahead and waived the delivery fee.  That was good, because we did buy a lot of furniture and that was a very nice gesture Mack made.  My family - and my son - really appreciated it."

When asked what brought Mr. Thomas to Gallery Furniture today, he smiled and said "Well, of course, what so many people come here for - I need a quality mattress.  I had been putting it off, but recently when Mack had renovated the Bush Intercontinental Airport USO where I volunteer, I remembered to come on by."  You see, it turns out Mr. Thomas is a proud USO Volunteer, showing his true patriotic spirit by serving the service men and women in the armed forces by giving of his free time at the USO at Bush Intercontinental Airport.  USO centers, like the one decorated by Gallery Furniture at Bush Intercontinental Airport, give the soldiers a sense of home and a place they can unwind as they move from base to base and to and from the forward lines of conflict.  These USO centers are havens of rest, a place to reconnect with family using computer terminals, or just somewhere to catch some well-earned Zzz's as they wait for the next plane to come in.  Mr. Thomas is proud to volunteer at the Bush USO Center, and had this to add:

"I told Mack that the Bush Center was once just a basic USO center - but now, with everything Gallery Furniture has done for the USO Center at Bush, it is truly a world-class USO center.  I mean, wow, everything, the furniture, the sofas, the chairs are top notch, the quality office chairs [built to order by United Leather of Dallas, TX], the lamps, the artwork, everything - just is quality and wonderful.  It is put together well, looks beautiful, and the place is outstanding."

Mr. Thomas then suddenly remembered he had to back to his Gallery Furniture saleswoman Shala, who normally works with Gallery Furniture's hand-made and natural-dyed rugs, and he said "You know, I came in here for a mattress, and my son has a Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic, and I am thinking of learning more about them myself - my son raves about his, and he says wonderful things about his Tempur-Pedic, I need to try them out."  Shala then took Mr. Thomas over to Ceasar in the gorgeous Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic showroom and from there, Mr. Thomas expressed again his gratitude and thanks for Mattress Mack.

"I have to say, I have been coming here for years, and it meant so much to my family and me that first time we came in here for my son - I am happy to be back.  And a big thanks to everyone at Gallery Furniture for all the hard work you folks do for the USO, that means a lot for the troops!"

And thank you, Mr. Thomas, not just for being one of the world's greatest Gallery Furniture customers, but also for your continued support and volunteer work with the USO.

A GALLERY FURNITURE TEMPUR-PEDIC STORY: Easy to Use and Very Restful!

 Lynn Waltmon, a volunteer with the Holy Name Passionate Retreat Center in Katy, dropped in to Gallery Furniture today, and wanted to thank Mattress Mack for the great rest he'd been getting on his Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic. Lynn works closely with the Holy Name Retreat Center charity, and his coordination of their annual Gold Tournament means that Lynn needs the energy to help raise money for this retreat center used heavily by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

"I bought my adjustable Tempur-Pedic at Gallery Furniture about one year ago from Billy (salesperson Billy The Kid), and let me tell you, that Tempur-Pedic is comfortable as heck! Now, I'm 82 years old, and I have good energy for everything I do, it's just that the Tempur-Pedic really adds to it!" Lynn went on to add: "You know, I had back surgery some time ago, and with my Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic I have slept like a baby through the night. I do have bad acid reflux to boot, and yes I take medication for it, but since I got my adjustable Tempur-Pedic there has been no more acid reflux. It really helped being able to adjust the bed, and that, I think, was key to the great night's sleep and to help settle down my acid reflux at night! It really works."

Lynn added some other points that he enjoyed about his Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic: "It's just so easy to use, the features are easy on the remote – hit a button for the massage feature, hit a button to go up or down, so simple. Best part is, unlike my old mattress, the Tempur-Pedic did not mean I have to do any flipping or moving or rotating or any of that stuff. That really hurt my back, and at one point I was having my son come over to help me with my mattress, and with this Tempur-Pedic I don't have to do any of that. Just so easy to use and very convenient. Tempur-Pedic makes a great product and it really works great for older folks like me – it's easy to get in and out of bed with the adjustable Tempur-Pedic. Press one button and that's it – easy-in and easy-out. Best part of the adjustable is not just that it's perfect for older people, it's also easy to set for comfort. I put my feet up a bit, I have a setting for reading and watching TV, I have one for sleeping, and all just so easy! I recommend the Tempur-Pedic to all my family and friends, no question."

Lynn wanted to make sure all of Houston understood just how easy it was to operate a Gallery Furniture Adjustable Tempur-Pedic – "It's so easy to use, a 2-year-old could operate it."

Customers just like you, and Lynn, enjoy the benefits of a great night's sleep from a Gallery Furniture Adjustable Tempur-Pedic.  A better life, and a better night's sleep, waits for you!  Just call Gallery Furniture's Tempur-Pedic hotline at 713.694.5570 and start your better life TODAY!

GALLERY FURNITURE TEMPUR-PEDICS TAKE YOUR STRESS AWAY!

Long time Gallery Furniture shopper Steve S. of Tomball dropped by Gallery Furniture for an American-made Franklin recliner today and wanted to stop and let all of Houston know about the great sleep he and his wife continue to enjoy on their Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic.

"My wife and I came in, I would say about two years ago, I was not getting the sleep I need on my inner spring mattress, and I spoke with Mack and he suggested I try a Tempur-Pedic," Steve said, adding that "you know, I tested it, liked it, and Service Manager Laura actually handled the sale, and it was amazing difference once we got it home that night."

Just how amazing is their Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic? "Well, we're retired teachers, my wife and I, and after thirty-seven years of teaching in the Special Education field, there is plenty of tension and stress that gets built up - and after two weeks the Tempur-Pedic took all of our stress away.  The Tempur-Pedic conformed to our bodies - and our back and neck problems just went away!  You start to feel your energy level go up!"

Steve went on to talk about the great comfort he and his wife have on their Tempur-Pedic: "What's amazing is that you can fall asleep in any position you prefer - side, back, whatever - and you wake feel energized, refreshed, and rested.  It's something else, it really is!"

When asked just how long Steve has been shopping with Gallery Furniture, Steve paused a few minutes then said "You know, since the late 80's - what I love the most about shopping at Gallery Furniture is that when I shop, I want a counselor.  I don't want a salesperson, I really need a counselor.  Someone to guide me, not push me.  And Gallery Furniture does that - Gallery Furniture helps you make a decision.  If there is ever a problem, you come back and you are taken care of.  Everything in the house is from Gallery Furniture - the leather stuff we have, dining room, the den, this new recliner, and of course our Tempur-Pedic.  I just won't go anywhere else!"

A Great Night's Sleep becomes a Family Tradition

Mr. Mitchell of Manvel, Texas was so excited about his Gallery Furniture order today that he called Gallery Furniture and thanked Mack himself! Turns out that he bought his granddaughter a twin Tempur-Pedic mattress for her bookcase bed with drawers because he, and his wife Betty, already bought one themselves and knew the value of a great night's sleep.  They figured the best way to pass along the value of the great night's sleep was to give their granddaughter that same exact experience.

"We've known Mack for a long time, and I've lived in Houston for 31 years, so I remember the old store, and watched him grow.  I bought my wife and I's last Tempur-Pedic at Gallery Furniture, as well some recliners, so we came in for this Tempur-Pedic for our grandaughter.  There was no choice, really - we only wanted to go to Gallery Furniture."

When asked what meant the most for him on today's shopping experience, Mr. Mitchell said: "It was the speed!  We live in Manvel, that's a good 45 minutes to one hour away from the store.  I'd say we shopped in there about noon.  I barely had time to break the old bed down, get the mattress out, and then I get the call."

That call Mr. Mitchell got came from Gallery Furniture Delivery Team member Jose to tell Mr. Mitchell that they were about 30-45 minutes out from their home with their new Tempur-Pedic.

"The driver, New York, and his team partner Jose, were very nice, polite, and they had everything set up quick.  It was more than fast.  It was ultra-fast.  They were here by about 2:30 and gone by 3:15 p.m.  They even helped me move the old mattress to a spot outside where I was having someone pick it up so they could get it to a needy family, and that was mighty nice of them.  You know, after all this time shopping there, I feel like I know Mack.  I know him as a person, and I appreciate the way he runs his business and how he helps the community.  He has the best service, the best delivery, the best period.  That's why I keep coming back, because Gallery Furniture is the best."

And a big thanks back out to Mr. Mitchell - who proves that when you buy it TODAY, you get it TODAY, only from Gallery Furniture.  From the Gallery Furniture Tempur-Pedic sleep system to recliners to dining rooms - Gallery Furniture will have that furniture in your home fast.

Or, as Mr. Mitchell says:  ultra-fast.
