| - I was long overdue for a new mattress and two Sundays ago, decided to FINALLY do something about it. I'd done a significant amount of research on different types of mattress, because all I knew was that I did NOT want another Temperpedic.
What's tough about "researching" online is that everyone has an opinion. You don't know important factors such as the persons height, weight, activity level, sleep style, health issues, etc. What works for one can be the death of another. And vice versa. So I needed to get into some stores and begin the testing process. I figured it would take awhile...because really, how can you know if something you lay on for 15-20 minutes is going to be good once you're actually sleeping on it for good?! Ugh. This was the dreaded part.
My aunt told me about some outlets that had mattress blowouts of up to 75% off. Stopped into one and pretty much walked out. Floor models or damaged off the truck..."sterilized" and bagged for sale. No thanks.
My boyfriend suggested the Mattress Man. He bought a bed from them years back and would have again, but he bought a Sleep Number last year. He warned me that it wasn't a fancy showroom but that they had a really good selection, really good prices, and probably most importantly...the salespeople weren't sharks.
Cool, lets go.
We walked in and John greeted us. My boyfriend started to shoot the sh*t and I immediately interjected and unleashed upon John exactly what I was looking for...my sleep style, my issues with my old bed, physical issues I had due to my old bed, how I wanted and knew I COULD wake up feeling in the morning...I mean, even I realized how high maintenance I sounded.
Like a pro (and a good man), he listened the whole time and as soon as I was breathing instead of talking, he said, lay on this one. Fifteen minutes.
I obliged. Wow. It was exactly what I'd described wanting. Just a tad too much, though (I wanted firm). I told him this is great, but I need just a little cush...
Try this one, he said.
OH. MY. GOD.
This was my bed. I began to grill him on specs and he told me everything...in a way that was honest and matter of fact. Not like he was trying to SELL me, if that makes sense. At the same time, I pulled out my phone & explained that I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just looking up this brand and the reviews. He didn't mind, and I'll tell ya what...he was no bullsh*t and neither was this bed.
Sold.
He gave me an excellent price for the mattress, box spring, frame, delivery, AND removal of my old piece of garbage Temperpedic. But warned...no returns. Once you buy it, it's yours (I like that, I know my bed is brand spankin new). He also reminded me that a new bed can take a few weeks to get used to...realigning your body, muscles not being tensed anymore, lower back no longer sinking, etc.
It was coming straight from the manufacturer so he said it would be delivered Friday...Monday at the latest. Friday morning came and I was so excited I couldn't wait. I called and he said, yes it was coming in, and yes, it would be delivered between 4-8pm. Woohoooo!!!!
At 5:05 pm, the delivery guy calls and 2 1/2 minutes later, two guys knock on the door. They were both super nice, and super fast.
And at last, I have an amazing new bed.
If you're in the market for a new bed, go to the Mattress Man. Hopefully John helps you, because he is an absolute pleasure to work with...he is friendly, knowledgeable, and straight to the point...he LISTENS and seems genuinely interested in helping you make the best decision.
What more can you ask for to make a process like MATTRESS SHOPPING any easier!?
