OT – Best mattress

[jpinpb]

carli – thanks for your reply. I know the Superman exercise you speak of. I have done it in the past. It is great for low back. Wish that were my problem. Seems there is much more help for low back.

I don’t think there is a markup on Tempupedic. It is priced by the company and every store lists it for the same price and they are NOT allowed to reduce it – PERIOD. If the company found out any price adjustments, they lose their ability to sell it.

As far as other mattresses, I’m sure there are markups. I checked Costco on line and Stearns and Foster makes a mattress for them for a fraction of the cost. We might check into Costco. You can return it whenever! Gotta love Costco.

BTW – Great story on negotiating 50% off. Can I borrow you when I make an offer on a house?

Ahhh, interesting point about Tempurpedic. Bummer that you can’t get a discount. You’re right – gotta love Costco, especially the return policy.

I chuckled when I read your last comment…if only you knew how many deals my husband and I have worked over the years on different purchases. Funny thing is that he considers himself the financially conservative one, having spent a long career in corporate banking, and he thinks he’s always driving a tough deal yet, more often than not, I have to be the voice of reason in most big negotiations. When we get into the negotiations, I feel like I’m the one who can walk away if the price isn’t right no matter how much I want it, but he gets antsy and just wants it all to be over and to get the deal done, at almost any price (this has happened with houses, cars and now beds)! I can’t even call him on it because he’s so sensitive about it, but it does make me a little crazy to see him leave money on the table. 😉

Hope your back pain gets resolved soon. Take good care.

Carli’s good cop/bad cop tactic is hilarious.

I think bedding is ridiculously priced. Especially considering I’m happy sleeping on a $200 roll-up memory foam mattress. If I want softer I fold it over itself and voila, double the softness. Then again, I’ve been called a cheapo hermit. I did try the $2k tempurpedic but it sooo wasn’t worth it (to me).

I’ll bet 90% of the overhead of mattress companies is spent on marketing, talking up the benefits of their junk.

Hey jp,

I do not know what your belief system is, but when you mentioned the position of your pain and what it feels like to you, I clearly saw a sword wound.

Past life injury.

Intend to heal. There is nothing wrong with you.
