Stella Harley
I'm the true inspiration behind the Basil mattress. I was tired of being woken up when my two pets kept moving around all night. Finally, I can sleep through the night (and all day) in peace. When I'm not cozied up on my Basil mattress, I'm usually eating chicken treats or growling while playing tug-o-war with my favorite pet, Josh.
