Black Friday Purchase

Lately I have noticed that no matter how we turn or rotate the mattress my lower back still hurts in the morning. In addition to this I finally had to conceded that there is a visible caving in to the middle of the mattress. I really can’t complain though, seeing as I paid $200 for the bed and I got it second hand to begin with, I think it lasting 3 years for me was worth it. So tonight I finally broke down and went to Gardner White and bought a new bed. It was a short notice purchase with no real planning involved other than me complaining about my back for the last few months. Tonight, though, we saw a commercial that Gardner White was having a pretty decent sale for Black Friday so off we went to check it out. I have always said that the next bed I buy would be a king sized bed, because it would be my hope that it would also be the last bed I buy; so that’s what I did.

I just purchased a Simmons BeautyRest® Rozelle King Sized bed set (mattress and foundation), a new frame to support the new larger bed (the old one was a queen sized bed), and a Guardsman waterproof mattress protector. This bed comes with Simmons’ super pillow top, which was a huge selling point for me because when I laid on the bed in the store, after settling in for a minute, it contoured to my lower back and took away all the pressure on my lower back! Once this happened I had no lower back pain while laying on my back! I can’t even explain how amazing that feels and I really hope that mine will have the same result once it is set up in my room.

The bed and the mattress protector both come with a 10 year warranty. For the mattress protector any time during those 10 years I can call Gardner White and they will send me a new one at no charge, I can do this twice. As part of the sale this king size bed was sold at the price of a queen size bed so that cut the price down a little. Also, after I decided to buy this bed I was informed that this particular bed comes with a Dynex 42″ LCD 1080p HDTV from BestBuy, which, according to the reviews, is a pretty decent HDTV. Of course this now means I need to buy new bedding for the bed and a new pillow while I am at it. It also means that eventually I will need a new TV stand for the TV. In any event the bed is supposed to be delivered by Monday the 30th, and they are even going to take away the old bed for free. The TV will be delivered within 21 days of the bed being delivered, which means it should be here by Christmas, of course it will most likely take me another two weeks after that to get it set up though!

I can’t wait to get the new bed though, I am very much looking forward to a good night sleep and waking up with no lower back pain. I just hope I am not setting my hopes to high.
