I felt like I could even feel the box spring thru ended up with one you eventually liked too.

Once I bought a mattress topper online, and I was amazed at how they packed it so small. As soon as I opened the package it expanded. I can imagine the trouble you went through to re-pack a mattress!

So, last year when it came time to replace our 20 year-old mattress, he insisted we try memory foam, and we also bought an adjustable base. I didn't like the mattress in the store, and I liked it even less on the bed. I was told it took some getting used to, but after two weeks, I decided it had to go. I felt like I was sleeping in a sponge. It was terrible--hard to roll over, hot, it even made my jaw hurt. I also hated how low it made the bed. While we typically don't go to big box stores, I am thankful I insisted on using a major mattress place, (sensing I would want to switch it out) as exchange was easy peasy. We replaced it with a hybrid--a pillow top on top of conventional coil mattress, which is similar to what we had before, which was the most comfortable mattress in the world (until it wasn't.) The only problem with this new one is it is very deep--I need 21" fitted sheets. Not sure why I didn't pick up on that in the store. In any case, the manager of the mattress store told me he sensed I would return it, as people of smaller stature tend to dislike memory foam. Never again.

The newest mattress was funny. You could hear it inflating with air instantly when we cut the plastic wrap.

There was a lot in there. I will be cutting ranch dressing bottles now. <br />Glad you found a mattress that works.Please give us a review once you've tried it out for a few weeks. I would have loved to see a video rolling up the old mattress.<br />I checked the spices and thought it was expensive until I realized it was 8 jars.<br />So glad you received an unemployment check. I know that will help.<br />Have a good weekend.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093313893708262722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-25919219756250389242020-06-12T09:04:22.220-04:002020-06-12T09:04:22.220-04:00Thanks for the heads up for Jackie's.
