IdiotMachine 02/07/21 11:17:56 AM #1:	First time buying a bed, and a king size bed with bed spring costs over $2k!!! The sales guy said the bed spring is required if I want to keep the 10-year warranty. I read Simmons' warranty, and sure enough, it does require a bed spring... Furthermore, a king size bed frame costs at least $100, with nice wooden ones going for like $500+. What the shit... EDIT: To clarify, I've been just moving with my queen size bed that my parents bought me almost a decade ago. I wanted to upgrade to a king size bed, and then this. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:950375435] in Holy shit ...

I'm on my way now to the Original Mattress Factory to see other beds / prices. A sale is only good if you think it's actually worth it. I have a rule where I won't buy something on sale if I don't think the full price is worth it. If I want something where I'll pay full price for it, then I will happily buy it if it's on sale. If you're still hesitant on buying something at a sale price, you wouldn't buy it at full price anyways.

A twin for my 4 year old. It serves its purpose. I've laid on it and I found it a bit soft more my taste, but I like a firm mattress. I bought an extra firm one for me and my wife. Its a very sturdy mattress, but it may be a bit too firm on its own. My fault for buying it online with no testing.

But, yes, do not cheap out on a mattress or you'll be paying the price later in life. <cite>Balnazarr posted [p:950378573] in Holy shit ...

foxhound101 02/07/21 1:09:20 PM #43:	The last time I needed a mattress I found the in store shopping experience to be unpleasant. The salesman approach was a real turn off. Not only were the prices too high, but it's hard to tell if you'll actually like the mattress. A mattress that seems comfortable for the first 2 minutes of laying on it might not be comfortable after 8 hours of laying on it. You really have no idea. My boyfriend and I both bought foam mattresses online. Mine is a bed in a box, and his is a tuft and needle. Both of us are happy with our purchase. Foam is the way to go and you'll be looking in the $500 to $1500 range. --- http://www.globatron.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Lava_Lamp_Animation-1.gif <cite>foxhound101 posted [p:950378617] in Holy shit ...
