mattress shopping
Where should we look for a new mattress? We just need the mattress, since we can't fit a queen boxspring up our stairs and already bought a platform bed instead of a split boxspring. Also, what kind of mattress do you have and do you like it? Lastly, is there a certain time of year when there tend to be good sales? Thanks.
Re: mattress shopping
This will be my billionth and one recommendation for Tempur-Pedic on TheNest
DH and I have had our bed for almost 5 years now and still love it. It's definitely a splurge, but you can't put a price on good sleep.
Some people feel there's an adjustment period to get used to sleeping on memory foam. DH and I had no issues at all and loved it from Day 1. We bought from Brookstone and they do offer a 90-day, cash-back, satisfaction guarantee. So you have plenty of time to try it in-home and if you don't like it they'll give you your money back--not store credit, cash back. I don't think any mattress stores do this.
TPs pretty much never go on sale. There are sometimes special promos on the pillows like BOGO, but I don't think I've ever seen the mattresses on sale. Also, the company controls the pricing so every retailer should be charging the same amount.
We also bought outs at Jordans, and of the furniture stores in the area, I never feel pressured or stalked whenever I walk in there to look around.
Like Rock, we have a tempur-pedic... or rather, Jordan's version. Slightly less expensive, but still all of the awesome. Love it.
