Annoyances

That's true, although I am still in something of a state of shock about it.

Yeah, it's a specialist bed place. Mattress was four grand plus tax, the rest was the divan and some stupidly overpriced mattress protector ("but it's all natural fibres, darling!").

That sounds like an average Friday night for Tommy.

That's why she offered to let you rearrange your anniversary dinner for the Raptors game.  She knew what was coming.

You basically just let her assfuck you with a dildo.

Eh, it's her money as well.

You know what, you can obviously afford it and you'll sleep in it every night. At that kind of money, it HAS to be comfortable.

[Tommy]

Aren't there diminished returns on how comfortable a bed can be? I can't see how a $6k bed can be three times more comfortable than a $2k one.

You guys are preaching to the choir.

I wasn't really listening.

I honestly don't know. I tend to sleep pretty well wherever I am, but Mrs English is a light sleeper and has been struggling with this one of late.

They do have a 15 day sleep guarantee whereby if you decide in the first 15 days that you're not happy with it they will take it back, so at least we'll get a chance to decide whether it's worth the money. They say we spend a third of our lives in bed so I guess it makes sense to be as comfortable as possible.

Oh I definitely hear ya there. Was just wondering about the difference between a $1500 coal foam queen and a $3500 one. I have the former, which is awesome. Plus two memory foam pillows that are amazing ($100 a piece). I also think good sheets play a roll too.

What are you, the Princess and the pea?

Bottom line on mattresses, and I know this because my former stepfather owned one of the major bed store chains in the Hudson Valley...  Your $6000 mattress probably cost the retailer $2000.  The guy was loaded, even after dropping god knows how much on an 80's coke habit that would make even Tony Montana blush.

If you simply asked, you got free delivery, free box spring, free mattress cover, free pillows, etc.  If you were savvy enough to barter with a jew, you could get him down 20-30% on top of that.

Buying a mattress is very much akin to buying a new car.  The markup is massive, and there is always room for serious negotiating.

LOL.  Someone ripped you off.  Not as badly as JE, but still ripped off.

Well $1600 for everything. The mattress itself was a little over $1k.

Meh

[Miamipuck]

Wow I basically got the same exact package for $850

Of course you did.  You also don't walk into stores and have the sales people think "Oh excrement, easy commission".
