Need a New Mattress

[JPMNICK]

<p>I need a new King Size Mattress, but I do not want to get ripped off. Anyone have any tips on buying one? Know any good stores or brands? Anything to stay away from? Any help would be appreciated. </p><p>I have read up on this online, and I know comparison shopping is impossible, so now I am looking for word of mouth recomnedations. </p>

<p>Whatever you do, make sure you test the thing out first. I ordered once from dial a mattres, and ended up throwing the thing out a month later because I couldn't sleep on the fucking thing. <br /></p><p>A believe me I was fucking tired when I threw it out. &nbsp;</p>

I got a Select Comfort bed.&nbsp; I love it, and if I have to move, it'll be soooo easy!&nbsp; Dont buy a bed from those places that &quot;take your old bed&quot;.&nbsp; Thats how bed bugs get spread.&nbsp;

<p>Madison, NJ?</p><p>There is a 1-800-mattress store on 22 that seems to have good prices.&nbsp; Friend has used them twice.</p><p>I prefer department stores, though, and never go to a place like Sleepy's or Rockaway Bedding.&nbsp; Total rip offs.&nbsp; If you do have to go to them NEVER pay what they are asking.&nbsp; haggle for a while and then walk out on them after you leave your phone number.&nbsp; They'll call back in a day or so offering an even better price.&nbsp; Still a rip off, though, stay away from those places.<br /></p><p>I bought my bed at Bon Ton, a department store near where I live.&nbsp; It's a huge king size mattress, Sealy or Simmons (forget which one but I know its one of those two namebrands), plush top (not pillow), great quality, and cost me $800, normally its $2000 something.&nbsp; Got the bed, a nice frame with headboard, and box springs for the $800. The store by me always has huge mattress sales and I assume Macy's or JC Penny's does the same in their larger stores.&nbsp; I'd say wait for a mattress sale at a department store if you can.</p><p>As for pillow tops.. they are nice but the pillow tops get pretty bad after a bunch of years.&nbsp; You'd be wise to save your money and get a good firm mattress and add on a pillow top of your own that you can replace.&nbsp; Same goes for those foam mattresses, save the cash and get a nice topper from Costco.&nbsp; Check your newspapers for sales.&nbsp; <br /></p>

Up until about a year ago we were using my parents' mattress that they
bought sometime in the 60's.&nbsp; (nice!)&nbsp; It occurred to me that
I may well have been conceived on that very mattress though it could
have been in a field or at the drive-in or someplace else.<br />
Anyway, we went to Rockaway bedding (YEAH!) and got what seems to be a
good mattress so far.&nbsp; We haggled too and got a better
price.&nbsp; Good move getting a king size though.&nbsp; I'd have a
hard time sleeping on a queen size.

Not sure where you're from but when my g/f and I moved in together last fall we went to a Bloomingdales outlet store ( sells furniture, rugs, beds, etc ... ) in Elmsford NY and got a 4K King Size matress, that was a showroom model, for $600 bucks, the 2 box springs for $50 each, the frame for $40 and delivery was like 90$. You could get ones even cheaper than that if you didnt mind some bumps and scratches.
