Back a few post ago, I mentioned that I would review the mattress we purchased from Amazon. So thar she blows (we went & saw the newest pirates movie- I heart Johnny Depp):
It is no secret that sleeping on an air mattress is not the most amazing sleep experience a person can have. How you judge how much worse sleeping on an air mattress is is a direct comparison to your base (the mattress you sleep on every night) – at least that is how I see it. The problem is that when we were living in Knoxville, we had a EXTREMELY AWESOME mattress. We purchased it at Brother’s Bedding. If you live anywhere near Knoxville & want an amazing mattress, that is the place to go. 100%. Save yourself the time of going to big stores who claim fancy smancy deals – trust me, we went their first.
The problem is, we no longer live in Knoxville & were not in the market to haul our wonderful bed 1000 miles. (Some of us…. me…. did debate it though). Again, we really really did not want to go to a mattress store. (They are like the car dealerships of beds.) So first, we went to Ikea. Some people rave about the mattresses there, but I thought there were a bit flimsy. Not to say they are bad. It just was not what we really wanted. For about the same price, we were hoping to get a bit…. more.
Leave it to Ben to find us a mattress on Amazon. The boy buys EVERYTHING on Amazon & I must say I have caught the bug. WOAH buddy they have everything!! Including mattresses. I will admit I was mondo nervous about getting a mattress I have never ever laid on. Paranoid like what the heck are we going to do with this sucker if we hate it sorta dealie.
But I sucked it up & we decided to just get it & see what happens.This is what we ended up getting: Queen 12″ thick memory foam mattress from Dynasty Mattress for $529.00 with free shipping!! Added bonus: no need for a box spring!! woooo
After sleeping on it for about a week now I must say, I am happy with it. Probably a bit more than happy. It seriously is just a slab of memory foam, but it provides just the right amount of support but still has the “eating you” feeling. It is sort of wonderful how that works. I am still in awe we bought a mattress without ever sitting on it — & we like it!!
If Brother’s Bedding was a 5 star mattress I would give this one *****. As long as it holds up as well as the other one, we should be very happy campers for the next 10 years.
But thank god we are NOT camping, because then we would probably be on that blasted air mattress.
