Mattress Forum

I hated it. It was like sleeping on a balloon.

I use the low side of my side pillow for stomach sleeping too. I can't wait to get the neck pillow. I think the low side of that one might work a little better for me in the inclined position than the low side of the side pillow. I also plan on getting the comfort pillow eventually. I tried that one in the store and loved it. Between those 3 pillows there should be something for any position I choose to sleep in. Now I just gotta get my new bed.

You must be rich!!!!

Ha! I wish! There is no way I can afford Tempurpedic's retail prices for most of their stuff. When I started with a cheaper TP mattress, I did buy it at retail. Didn't work out so I got my one exchange. The replacement didn't work out, and I was out of exchanges, so I sold it on Craigslist and made a $55 profit over what I paid. I thought I was going to have to take a loss, so that was good. Now I'm out of store exchanges and can't afford retail for the bed I want as it's much more expensive, so it's coming from a place that buys stock from stores going out of business, and I'm getting $1,000 off retail, new in the box. I paid full price for one pillow ordered from TP's site at $108. The other 2 pillows won't be bought until I get a good price on Ebay or Craigslist. Many people are selling pillows now, because of the deal TP had last month where you get 2 pillows free with a mattress. People got the free pillows when they bought the mattress, but don't want the pillows. They are all over Craigslist.

My adjustable base was also bought on Craigslist. Paid $600, sold the mattress it came with for $500. Base was only 1 month old. So total paid for that was $100 after selling the mattress. It's not a TP brand base, but it works just as good. Also sold my old spring bed for $300. All totaled, even after paying the restocking fee for the first mattress, I'm ahead by $28.  I'm on a small fixed disability income, so I've had to learn how to get the best deals and how to re-sell at a profit if it doesn't work out. It means a lot of waiting and haggling, but that's the only way to do it if you're low income.
