Since 1991, Tomorrows World / Organic Comfort Zone has offered customers Layaway Plans. Our Layaway plan helps to make your purchase more affordable on a budget. Unlike many Layaway Plans, we allow our customers to purchase sale products through this effective interest-free payment schedule.
For more information about our simple Layaway plan and special sale prices; call us at 800-229-7571 and we would be happy to explain the details.
Traditionally, Labor Day marks the end of summer and as if on cue, the weekend was warm and beautiful, followed by a rainy, windy and much cooler beginning of the week. Our air conditioners are in the off position, the tourists have gone home and we are ready to reclaim our beaches.
It’s time for us to pull out our comforters
and prepare for dropping temperatures.
For folks planning a trip to visit Organic Comfort Zone, this is the perfect time. Most of the local hotels, resort homes and bed & breakfasts have dropped their rates to “off-season”, the traffic has lightened and the weather is delightful. My advice to anyone coming for a visit to Hampton Roads is to do it at this time of the year.
Late summer and early fall are also the ideal time to prepare your bedroom for winter. A good cleaning, airing or even replacing your mattress, pillows and comforter is best done before the cold weather settles in, then you’re ready for the blustery long nights of winter.
Come visit us either in person, online or on the phone and let us help you get prepared for your winter hibernation with a new, fresh, warm organic CozyPure® sleep system! We look forward to seeing you soon.
When Food, Inc premiered at our local theatre, I told the family we were going to see it together. The film focuses on mass production, that is, our food being produced using very industrialized methods. Fatter chickens in half the time and herbivore cows forced to eat corn (which in turn gives them e-coli bacteria), all for the purpose to make plenty… and make it faster.
The way our food is produced has drastically changed over the past few decades. In sharp contrast, the marketing of our food hasn’t changed much over the years. Consumers are still shown images of red barns and American farmers tilling fields. We believe the chicken we’re buying roamed freely on a happy family farm because the packages say “Fresh” and “Natural”. Boy oh boy, have we been deceived. As I watched the film, I couldn’t help but find comparisons with the bedding industry. In particular, one sentence a Virginia farmer said:
We have allowed ourselves to be so disconnected and disinterested about something so intimate as the food we eat.
Of course, it was very easy for me to translate that line into:
We have allowed ourselves to be so disconnected and disinterested about something so intimate as the bedding we use for sleep.
Most consumers would be very surprised to find out what was inside their mattresses, after all, we are shown images of beautiful women, lying on pretty fabrics, looking peaceful and serene. But those shiny fabrics and the components inside are made primarily from petroleum-based chemicals that out-gas fumes, then later breakdown into air-borne dust particles.
Somehow, our priorities have shifted. People devalue the purchase of quality bedding. Why should they buy a healthy mattress made from all-natural and organic materials when they can get that pretty one over there for half the price? Because, just like the movie “Food, Inc” proves, consumers have fallen prey to deceitful marketing and cheap prices.
Sleep is a necessity for every breathing mammal. It promotes health and wellness. During sleep, our bodies shutdown and become vulnerable to the elements – so eliminate as much chemical contamination as possible for your body to enjoy the full benefits of a good night’s sleep. Because just like the food we eat… sleep plays a critical role in our health and wellness.
So next time you’re at the mattress market, be sure to ask: “What’s inside that bed?”
Sleep well and be happy 🙂 ~cheryl
As the 4th of July holiday approaches, we should be thinking about more than pyrotechnic displays and hotdogs. Sure, family and friends gathering together is great, but let’s not forget the true purpose of this National Holiday; American Independence Day is the birthday of our Country.
This year, as a true patriot, perhaps the best way to celebrate America’s “break-a-way” from foreign governing is to invest in American made merchandise – give a gift of love to someone with an American manufactured product. By doing so, you not only show someone that you care for them, but also that you care about the welfare of America and American industry.
With American factories shuttering daily, the best way to preserve the existing jobs is to keep them busy. Our “call to arms” today is saving our economy and our way of life – buying American made products may be one of the most patriotic things we can do.
As a start, just for one day, on the 4th of July, can you imagine people across the country refusing to buy anything not American made? The economic impact would tidal wave. A new tradition could begin that would help to reignite the spirits of American workers with a light that says people all over America care about the fate of our homegrown industries.
I’m proud to work for a company that is American owned and sells American made merchandise. I am in a special segment of the population which used to dominate our towns and cities but has now been downgraded to a small minority. The foundation of America’s advancement was forged by American manufacturing and should be reclaimed, but initially, before calculating on support from international markets, we must first invest in ourselves.
Organic Comfort Zone / CozyPure® / Organic Mattress Factory products are American made – most are made right here in our Norfolk, Virginia location. We put great effort and intention on attempting to secure the highest quality America grown and manufactured components, allowing us to produce one of the finest sleep systems available anywhere – at any price.
Imported goods may cost less, saving individuals small amounts of money at the time of purchase, but overall, when factoring in safety, quality, longevity, environmental impact and what the real costs are to American labor and the economy, the savings is overshadowed by the true cost.
On this Independence Day, start your own tradition – make a gift of an American made product. Start a conversation about the importance of supporting the American manufacturing industry. Not only is it the smart thing to do; it’s patriotic.
As the World gathers more and more complicated issues from financial woes to global warming and the day to day stressors take their toll on humanity, restful and rejuvenating sleep becomes significantly more important.
Perhaps there is no better time to reevaluate our sleep habits than in May, when we celebrate “Better Sleep Month”.
With many of us in need of more and better quality sleep, we should all commit to making the changes necessary to improve our sleep habits.
Making lifestyle changes such as avoiding caffeine, nicotine and other stimulants; setting a standard time for going to bed and waking up; a balance of exercise and recreation can improve your quality of sleep, but in addition, your sleep environment is equally important.
Keeping your sleep sanctuary clean, simple and organic is of prime concern and in Celebration of Better Sleep Month, CozyPure® / Organic Comfort Zone and Organic Mattress Factory will be helping folks do so by giving away an assortment of organic bedding prizes.
On June 1st of this year, Organic Comfort Zone will randomly select 9 Attendees from Organic Comfort Zone’s FaceBook fan page “Slumber Party” as lucky winners. Requirements to register are simple; you must be a fan of the Organic Comfort Zone’s FaceBook page and RSVP as attending the “Slumber Party” event. The contest is simple, fun and allows Organic Comfort Zone, CozyPure® and Organic Mattress Factory to share their wonderful organic sleep products with people who may not have considered the importance of natural sleep before.
Sleep well, sleep safe and best of luck to all the contest entries.

In honor of Earth Day, Organic Comfort Zone / CozyPure® gave away 22 organic gifts to their FaceBook fans. Some of the items included in the give-a-way included CozyPure® organic pillows, lien sprays, EocAveUSA loungewear and a grand prize package of assorted organic comforts. Fans names were randomly selected to insure everyone an equal chance at winning.
What a great tradition Organic Comfort Zone may have started; giving organic and natural gifts in celebration of Earth Day.
The hope of Organic Comfort Zone’s give-a-way is that once folks discover how wonderful and durable organic and natural products are, then they will be inclined to consider eco-friendly merchandise when making their next purchase; whether it be from Organic Comfort Zone or not. Here at Organic Comfort Zone, we are just trying to make the World “greener” and safer for everyone.
In an effort to keep the contest simple, Organic Comfort Zone’s only requirement for eligibility was that contestants had to be members of the Organic Comfort Zone’s FaceBook fan page. Membership to the FaceBook fan page is free and easy – just click a button!
The drawing was held on April 23 and then broadcasted via the internet on FaceBook. It was estimated that over a thousand viewers watched in hopes that their name would be called.
This contest was so much fun, that we plan on doing another drawing next month in honor of Better Sleep Month. Anyone who did not have the opportunity to participate in the Earth Day contest can still be a winner! So if you have not signed up to be a fan of Organic Comfort Zone on FaceBook, there is still an opportunity to win free, cool, organic stuff.
We have become a global community. Today it’s easy to connect and network with like minded people across the world via tools like email and FaceBook.
Here at Organic Comfort Zone, we have been having fun with our new FaceBook fan page. It gives us a chance to communicate on a personal level with many of our customers that have become so familiar to us. We can explore new ideas and share what we have learned. Plus, as a bonus it allows us in real-time to show off our new products, sales and contests.
Facebook makes registration easy. You can become a member in a matter of a few minutes and then join the fun! If you’re not interested in becoming a FaceBook member, you can still check out our fan page – no membership required!

Now, more than ever it’s important to get a good night’s sleep. Everyday stressors are magnified. Economic, global warming and health issues are some of today’s concerns that wear us down, causing us to feel weak and tired. Natural, healthy sleep is when our bodies recharge, restore and regenerate. Where and what we sleep on is critically important to the quality of our slumber, which in turn reflects our ability to function properly.
Creating a “sleep sanctuary” is of prime importance; a space where we can sleep – deep, sound and restful. However, the value of quality bedding and it’s relationship to sleep is often overlooked by many people. When looking to purchase a new mattress, many consumers are more concerned with the price than with the quality and health benefits. Here at CozyPure® we consider all the components that go into your new mattress – including pricing. We don’t cut any corners when it comes to the quality of content nor the love and labor involved in the construction of your new mattress.
The physical and mental benefits of owning a new CozyPure® organic, natural mattress are priceless. The quality, components, craftsmanship and durability built into your new mattress makes it a solid investment for many years. When we all spend about a third of our lives sleeping, doesn’t it make sense that what you are resting on should be the safest, highest quality item that you will ever own?
All of us here at the CozyPure® family believe that our work is important. We understand that you are trusting us with one of your most important purchases and we are honored.
Sleep well, sleep safe and pleasant dreams!
