What was I thinking?  That's just it.  I did not take the due diligence to research and went by how it felt in the store.  I was shopping for office furniture and this store happened to carry Kathy Ireland mattresses for really cheap.  So I bought, yes, two.  A king and a queen.  Might as well cash in on the free delivery, right?

Wrong.  Seven ways from Sunday wrong.

No box springs, just thin strips of wood in the flimsy foundation.  And here I thought the guy carrying it up stairs was so strong!  So I decided to keep my old (7 yrs.) S & F box springs and gave the flimsy ones away.  By the third night both sides were concave.  Now is this because it's a cheap mattress or due to the box springs?

I put off buying a bed for so long and then ended up with this.  Would it help to stick a piece of plywood on top of the box springs?  I hate wasting money!
