The Great "New Mattress" Debate

It's a big decision - maybe you should sleep on it.

Stay away from Sterns and Foster they don't last long ! Your back will be begin to bother you are a few months with one of them. Wonder how a Sleep Number bed is they have been advertising for awhile.

Our neighbors tried 3 different mattresses before settling on one. The competition on the high end mattresses is so tough they often have a 100 day return policy or such.


I think she ended up with the sleep number bed but she was furious to learn that a 'try it for 100 days' means you HAVE to keep it for 100 days before you can return it.



I buoght a commercial brand version of temperpedic used in luxury hotels - was recommended by a friend who is a furniture dealer and have been very happy with it for 3 years now. It's the same 5 lb density of tempurpedic but was 3k instead of 5k or something like that. I've been curious about the Purple mattress....be sure to give us a review after you buy one

We replaced our mattress about two years ago. We went back to an expensive Beautyrest Black coil mattress. It cost $$$$$$. Within two weeks, I could barely get out of bed due to back pain.

I took the mattress behind the wood shed and put two bullets in its chest and one in the head.

I had a Purple mattress delivered (for a fraction of the cost) and have slept blissfully every since. Thus, my advice is to try a Purple mattress (they have a 100 night trial) first.

Gonna query my mattress rn, see what she thinks.

tbh I been too busy with DECOR stuffs -- like do my pillowcases match my Vesuvian kitchen?

An' why I *sob* slippin' plural pillowcases out when I am here on my lonesum c/o yanno?

All I know is, the furnichah don't evah adjust too good too whatevah shape you at.

Which is why intrinsic bendiness pays dividends.

I ain't bein' filth here; it is troo.

Gotta tellya, whenevah you snooze out on a yogah mat, don't mattah how accommodatin' the sales guys say it is, you get up offah the floor like you been trampled by the Buddha hisself in a momentary rage.

You can kinda stay in the here & now on a momentary (yogah mat enhanced) surface, but parta that is the conscious positionin' of your whatevah.

Conversely, sleepin' got a softer exterior, but you ain't got no clue what is gowin' on.

What does this tell us?


Unlikely.

Jus' to say, the flexibility of things ain't nuthin' compared to the flexibility of hoomans.

Dunno, I'm a yogah gal.

Prolly I would say that.

& so I did!

Well it's brand "Wakefit" in India which is having large number of digital ads.

Mark, I lied to you. It had been awhile since I bought my mattress and I remember it came down to two different brands. I decided to try the cheaper one first and that's the one I stayed with.

The two it came down to were Purple and Nectar. I have a Nectar mattress.

Strange stuff....




Had never heard of 'puffy' so looked it up and read through the site. Then moved on - that was last night....


Within TWO HOURS of visiting the site ....I got an email from service@paypal.com offering me $50 off if I buy a Puffy with paypal.


I'm a contrary sort of person (I'm sure no one here has guessed that) - and I don't like that sort of 'maneuvering'/advertising. It's the first time I've seen an ad from paypal after only visiting a site....how does that work when I did not enter any info on that site?


Edit: Found the answer - it's paypal 'digital advertising alliance' - that allows companies to send alerts to the paypal address as a 'personalized' ad. Had not seen it before but my paypal acct listed 139 companies with the 'ability' to send such ads to me....Running the 'opt out' worked for only 39 of them.....interesting

Ok, ordered the Puffy Lux, got 50 bucks off via Paypal and should get some cash back on my credit card. Hopefully I will shortly be having a good nights sleep and less back pain.

Just think of the electronics I could have bought with that money. Sigh.

Mattress review:

I decided on a Puffy Lux, queen sized a hybrid of a Temperpedic, gel layer and a topper part that sleeps cool, 12 inches thick. No Box Springs. It was the most recommended, It arrived today rolled up in a big box, heavy, 58 pounds. I just about was able to take off my old one and move it somewhere, really heavy and need to get it hauled away

So, with a bit of puffing (or puffying) and panting I took it out of the box and put it on the bed, taking off loads of plastic wrap first, It unfolded itself but was shrunk wrapped. As soon as I liberated it from the shrink wrap it expanded to full size, wow, it is tall (12"), it came with a double length free pillow that was made out of the same material. I had to put 2 pillow cases on it from either end. Now came the acid test, plonked myself down on it. Unlike many mattresses, it was soft but firm and supportive. A real revelation in a brand new mattress. Yet to sleep on it, but they say it is so comfortable from the get go that you may hard pressed to get out of bed. So, I look forward to better sleep and less back problems.

The mattress has 101 a day tryout period, but you have to keep it for 101 days. Free shipping back and refund if not satisfied. Guaranteed for life, for me perhaps 10 years if I'm lucky. Lol.

Thankfully, Uncle Joe Biden will soon be dishing out $1400.00 to everyone, so that just about takes care of it.

Bet that was fun to do....look for pillow cases for a 'body pillow'...

How do you like the eucalyptus sheets? I've used some 'bamboo' (that's what the label says) sheets and they are cool and I like that.


I sprung for a 15 lb. weighted blanket this winter...it has a warm side and a cool side....it's like being a kid again with nice, heavy comforters on a cold night.
