Sleep On It

Finally decided to upgrade your creaky old mattress? Roll over, and check out the ones at Keetsa. Whether you are looking for a basic cushion or want to spring (see what we did there? Yeah, we're professionals) for a pillow-top, the SF-based sleep swamis have you covered with beds, pillows, frames, and mattress toppers. You get bells and whistles like movement-minimizing memory foam, and instead of chems and pesticides, Keetsa uses fabrics woven with green tea and silver particles to fight unpleasant smells (allowing us to continue eating in bed) and germs. Plus, everything's made with recycled steel and scrap foam, easing the burden on our landfills. We'll sleep on that.

Wanna Try: 

Keetsa Mattress Store, available online or at 271 Ninth St. at Folsom St. (415-252-1575). Keetsa Pillow Soft Full, $605. To find out how to ditch your old mattress, click here.

Cocktail Fact

The author Charles Dickens, a chronic insomniac, believed he was most likely to fall asleep in the center of a bed facing north than in any other orientation.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters recycle their mattresses, we'll keep enough waste out of the SF dump to fill 64 semi trucks.
