orikesFinally, something that doesn't involve the Sims!
I've been pondering getting a new bed for quite a while. The one I have is in pretty poor shape and it was a hand-me-down when I got it. It gets the job done and I don't have constant back pain or anything, but I know from sleeping in good beds that I'm missing out on a really good night's sleep.
Last summer when I went to GenCon, we stayed at the Westin which had amazing beds. Also this summer, I dog sat for some friends who have one of those super forming foam beds. That was also pretty damn cool. I can't afford either of those options, but I would like to get closer.
The problem is, I've never shopped for a mattress and box spring and I'm a little leery of dropping that much money on one purchase like that. I went to a local mattress store (Metro Mattress) and they have a Simmons BeautyRest 'Montano' pillowtop on sale that looks like it's a good deal. It was also quite comfy. They say it's normally about $1150 but it's on sale for $800. The sale is 'while supplies last', which irks me a bit.
Are any of you fine folks out there reading this experts on buying mattresses? :)
