Right now you'll find Downtouch featherbeds on sale along with 820 thread count Egyptian cotton sheet sets in all sizes. There are wrinkle-free sheet sets, allergy mattress protectors and so much more. I usually travel to the Mississauga location, but there are other locations to choose from including downtown Toronto.
— DOWN UNDER several locations, I checked out 5170 Dixie Rd., (north of Eglinton right before Hwy. 401) 905- 624-5854. Downunderbedding.com. Open seven days a week.
2. CHAPTERS/INDIGO: My goodness — we really are deep into the dog days of summer. And days like this remind me of curling up with a good book under a shady tree, lemonade in hand, and enjoying the solitude.
My idea of a fun afternoon is heading down to my local Chapters/Indigo shop for a couple of hours of pure joy. You'll usually find me at the Queensway location, across from Sherway Gardens, and just recently the chain announced major savings — up to 75% off —on everything from gift items to toys, collectibles and yes, books. Great time to do holiday shopping, to be honest.
— CHAPTERS.INDIGO.CA for a favourite location nearest you.
