At John’s, we specialize in products you can sleep on, in or around. We’re always solid wood and 90% of what we sell is MADE RIGHT HERE IN BC.

ADJUSTABLE BED BASEFor sleeping, relaxing or both, an adjustable bed frame allows for a virtually unlimited number of positions. Raise your head, feet or both by remote control. The massage unit will add gentle massaging action to feet, head or both with a variable intensity to suit you.

PACIFIC NATURAL LATEXOur healthiest possible mattress for both you and the environment. Made from sap from the rubber tree and grown in sustainable plantations. Latex not only is natural but breathes, keeping you cooler. Naturally anti-microbial, dust mites and bed bugs won’t go near it. This is our best mattress and of course, it’s completely flippable, as are all John’s mattresses.

Putting this adjustable base with our best latex mattress is only $2979.17 (single long), taxes in and delivered! All you need to do when we leave is put your sheets on and get ready for the sleep of your life!
