We went to three different stores in town and each one was better than the last. It went from bad to good to great. It was actually rather comical, the sales lady at the first place was so...how do I say this...funny. She approached us and asked what we were looking for, we told her mattresses and she just stood there chewing gum, didn't say anything, didn't explain any differences, didn't ask anymore questions. We went from mattress to mattress but soon left, unimpressed with the selection and the service.
The next place the lady was better, more helpful and not so strange in the way she hovered over us, but still lacked some mattress knowledge we were seeking.
The last place blew us out of the water! The selection was great and much bigger than the previous two combined. The sales man was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, he explained the different types, asked about our preference (soft, med, or firm), price range, size and other things. He had cut outs for each mattress so you could actually see what was inside and therefore understand what he was talking about. After he went over everything he walked away so we could try them out without having him hover over us.
Not only was the sales experience great but the mattresses were amazing. We bought a king size Jamison. There was one Jamison that was around 4k that we tried out just for fun, I swear, I've never felt a bed so perfect in every way like that one. Maybe in 15-20 years when we need to get a new bed we'll splurge on that one. It was incredible. If anyone of you reading this are planning on spending that kind of money on a mattress, get the best Jamison. I can't remember its exact name unfortunately.
So all three of us tried out the bed and loved it. I think Alan's only bed preference is that he be right next to me and also able to spread out and take up 2/3 of the bed if he wishes, he's not as concerned with sinking issues, so he was happy with our choice.
On a funnier note, fortunately the salesman and his wife (who's pregnant with their third) co-sleep so when I asked if there was a person limit for the warranty he wasn't too freaked out when I quickly explained that the other sleeper(s) would be children. It sounded very funny at first and Mike gave this look of "What are you saying?!" haha!
So, congrats if you got this far. Aren't blogs awesome? You can read about something as mundane as our mattress shopping experience. Your life has been enriched ;)
