King size.
Queen size and double and so on are all decently priced. Jump up to king and you're selling your soul for a new mattress. I also almost paid $80 for a set of sheets (looked at Zellers, Walmart and Winners) until we found really good priced sheets ($35, I believe, for king, queen, double, single) and my mom bought me 2 sets. I have been looking at The Brick and that Mattress Mattress (The Mattress Store?) and for a decent mattress, or what the sales guy tells me is somewhat decent, it's running around a grand. I haven't checked out Sleep Country, but I definitely will. "CME" wrote in message ... "ŠkatŠ" wrote in message ... Yes, I talked to my grandma yesterday. She's babysitting tomorrow because I have this job interview in the morning, then an appointment at the bank, so I'm going to sneak into the doc. I've recently got a family doctor for us, and there's always walk ins, it seems, but this guy seems to do me no help. Sure, he's a doctor and all, and I have no doubt good and qualified and all that, but last time I was in to see him, he told me to not take Tylenol 3's and to take Motrin. He took a look at my leg/hip, which was bruised from my hip bone to half way down my thigh (in the shape of the emergency brake and about the same place the brake is, and just told me to take it easy on my leg until it heals. Now it's healed, but it sure doesn't feel healed. This doctor doesn't seem to be of any help. I then went to see my old family doctor, the one who was our pediatrician as babies and kids, and he told me I was out of shape and to get into therapy, as well as take up something like swimming, aerobics or yoga. He said it would get me in shape and help my body heal faster and better. As I am still waiting to hear from the other insurance company, and have had some problems with our own that we just got straightened out, I have yet to hear back from the other guy, and I made a note to call them tomorrow. (Nothing's open today due to Canada Day) So I hope to be able to get some stuff and take advantage of my grandma babysitting for a few hours tomorrow. Oh yea, first useless family doctor also said I might not be sleeping well and waking up stiff and sore because of my mattress, and to see about investing in a new one. Price shopping around, I came up with figures of around $1000 for what the sales guys said was decent (not top of the line, but not bottom, but closer to bottom than top) and the prices go all the way up to over 2 grand. Money I would never ever be able to save up if my life depended on it. Where the hell were you shopping, The Holt Renfrew of mattresses??? Go to Sleep Country or someplace where you can get a mattress and boxspring for under $500. Yeesh. Christine |

LOL I don't *need* such a large bed... I got it for free from the dad of a
good friend when my friend well, "died" and this bed is 100x better than the old bunk bed that I was using. The bunk bed I was using that I got when I was probably 12 had a futon on the bottom, resulting in very, VERY uncomfortable sleep, and although my 'new' bed is 100x better, it speaks volumes for my almost-deacade-old bunk bed. This new bed was free, it was something I wanted soooo badly since I saw it in his room almost a year ago. It's really nice, but the mattress is something that could be replaced, although it's not so bad. "Tiffany" wrote in message ... My god... why do you need such a large bed?

Wait until there's a sale, because a hundred times on The Bear, you hear a bloody commercial about mattresses and from what I've heard, King sizes can be affordable, just shop around and watch out for commission sales.

I stand corrected... No doctor has really checked me out, if you put it that way. Something like that, I assume, would require more than just a simple call to the doctor to make an appointment... |

Actually, that's all it SHOULD take. Calling the physician's office and making an appointment. Once there, explaining the problem, should prompt such an examination. If not, find another doctor. Simply put, if you need a referral, get one. See a neurology specialist. Betsy -- Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. |
