When I have a lot on my mind I barely sleep. I am up until the early morning hours making lists, emailing, doing minor chores as quietly as possible and contemplating what I need to do later on that day. When I have finally worn myself out and am ready to close my eyes I am still unable to sleep. This fabulous pillow-top mattress that we paid $1800 is horrible. Prior to this purchase we bought generic mattresses without any special features and those were fine. Sadly, my husband gets older and older each year (where time has stood still for me) and has a bad back, so when we had the money to upgrade our mattress, we did. It was a complete waste of money and I refuse to spend that much on a mattress again. Refuse! (I am yelling with my fist shaking in the air.) I don't know if it is common knowledge but Big Lots sells Serta mattresses (brand new in the plastic bag). They even carry fancy pillow top mattresses. I don't know when Big Lots (formerly Pic-N-Save) got so fancy but yippee! Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot have the mattress delivered and will have to trek down to a Big Lots. I suppose it is wise to check out the mattress in person and prior to purchase first. But, I can't see that my laying on a display mattress, in the middle of a discount store with little screaming children running around me as though I am to be sacrificed to the sun god will really allow me to relax enough to know if I should have an extra firm mattress or pillow top. But for the price it is worth a try.
