According to Sheila Long O’Mara, executive editor of Furniture Today, as they were going through the nominations for 2021 Retail Bedding Giant, the Darvin Furniture & Mattress name kept coming up.

“Furniture Today has been highlighting great bedding retail since 2006 with our Retail Giants of Bedding,” says Long O’Mara. “Darvin Furniture & Mattress has great partnerships with a broad swath of bedding manufacturers, and several of them mentioned Darvin as a leader in the mattress category. Other home furnishings retailers also see the retailer as a significant player.”

Diab says the Darvin Mattress Store has been offering the largest selection of mattresses in the Chicago area since 1920. With the 2010 opening of the 9,000-square-foot Bedding Showroom, Darvin has been able to showcase the most popular brands, including Beautyrest, Tempur-Pedic, Aireloom, Serta, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Restonic, Therapedic and iComfort.

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized at the national level with such a prestigious award. At Darvin, we have always prided ourselves on not only offering the largest selection in Chicagoland, but the best value for our customers’ dollar,” Diab says. “Unlike most mattress stores who promote or feature just one brand, Darvin carries the widest selection. For convenient one-stop shopping under one roof, you can come to Darvin and compare and try out the actual mattresses.”

Retailers are selected for the Retail Giants of Bedding award based on a number of criteria, including showroom display, a unique approach to selling sleep products, including sleep accessories. “Recommendations from manufacturers and peers within the industry are the highest level of praise, and those recommendations carry a lot of weight in our selections,” says Long O’Mara.

The Darvin staff of experienced bedding specialists provide one-on-one consultation to ensure every customer gets a match with the perfect mattress, says Diab. “Our staff is trained to recognize key points that impact sleep. Everyone has a preferred sleeping position and we have a perfect match in our showroom for each one.”

Darvin Furniture is an A+ Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau, a recipient of the national 2018 Leadership Award from Furniture Today Magazine and the Illinois Retailer of the Year Award (See Video) from the Illinois Retail Merchants Association.
