We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping — or trying to. And yet, few things feel as uncertain as buying a new mattress. You lie down for a few minutes in a bright store, hoping it feels the same at 2 a.m., or you scroll through endless online reviews, crossing your fingers that what arrives in a box will actually deliver on its promises.
That’s the problem Kim and Rich Hanschu wanted to solve when they opened Sandman Sleep — a Northeast Columbus-area showroom built on one simple idea: buying a mattress shouldn’t feel like guesswork.
Inside their calm, thoughtfully designed showroom, guests can experience the best online mattress brands side by side — the same ones that dominate internet searches but difficult to try in person. Sleep seekers can book a private, no-pressure appointment or stop by during regular showroom hours. It’s quiet, comfortable, and unhurried — a refreshing change from the high-pressure sales floors most people associate with mattress-shopping.
“People just want to know what they’re getting before they spend a few thousand dollars,” says Rich. “We’ve built a place where they can take their time, ask questions, and make a confident choice.”
Unlike traditional stores, Sandman Sleep’s affiliate model means the Hanschus earn the same regardless of which bed a customer chooses. That transparency allows them to focus entirely on service — helping shoppers navigate comfort, warranty, and trial-period questions long after delivery.
“Buying online can feel isolating,” Kim explains. “If something goes wrong, you’re usually on your own. We make sure that never happens.”
That hands-on approach has earned the store loyal fans who appreciate having a real advocate through what’s often a confusing process. Whether managing a return, handling delivery logistics, or troubleshooting comfort issues, the Hanschus are there — start to finish.
But Sandman Sleep isn’t just about selling mattresses. It’s about helping people rest well in every sense. Each month, their showroom transforms into a wellness sanctuary for events — immersive experiences that blend meditation, live sound therapy, and sometimes acupuncture. The gatherings draw attendees from across Ohio, creating community around calm and reminding guests that true rest begins long before bedtime.
“Sleep isn’t just a product,” Rich says. “It’s part of your overall wellbeing. Rest is something you nurture, not just something you buy.”
Every brand Sandman carries is American-made and selected for quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Each offers generous 90-day to 1-year home trials, and optional white-glove delivery includes setup and old-mattress removal — ensuring customers can literally rest easy.
