dtb's having a shotgun wedding and evenodds was offered $$ for a BJ. What's new with you?

Last week I was approached by a sweet young hobo who offered to share his forty of malt liquor with me. I think that might be the highlight of the past 2.5 years. Other than that it has just been the chaos typical of ABBAKiss.

Wow. I went online to check out the mattresses after you posted your message, and was surprised by the prices. That one is on the website for $3,999 for just a king size mattress. I'd like a new mattress, but I'm not that interested in paying four grand (ok, or even $3,999) for one. But it is good to know that it is an awesome mattress.

What is the "to the trade" price? (And to clarify, I mean to the trade of decorators/interior designers/etc. If there's a hooker-trade price I don't have very good contacts, even though gmail is back up)

I know it's ridiculous. Plus, you have to get the foundation (a gigantic microfiber-wrapped box), no matter what kind of bed you get, which tacks on a minimum of $400.

But, a truly great mattress is worth the price.

There are less expensive tempurpedics (and the luckiest man alive has a plush sealy version) and I frankly cannot imagine ever buying an inner-spring again.

It's amazing for sleeping. For sexing, we prefer surfaces with less resistance, so will continue to use the sofas, the cocktail table, the dining chairs, the kitchen counter, the rugs, etc.

Fine, twist my arm, why don't you? You can't just put the mattress on top of a traditional box spring?

No helpful link, like with the mattress?

Questions:

• Did you previously prefer a firm mattress? I don't like anything to cushy - I hate pillowtops.
• Isn't the fabric too warm?

I went to a national furniture chain and the bed was $4400 on sale. I paid a little less than half of that during a manufacturer's promotion.

Ahem, I was solicited as a whore, but I have no whore access or pricing.

I may have some whore powers, though.

I would think not for the structural integrity. Traditional box springs -- which I haven't used in 15 years or more, so I could be wrong -- have planks, right, rather than being a flat surface? The point is you need a flat surface for the mattress to rest upon.

Yes, I prefer a firm mattress. I had a pillow-top, but it was firm. The fabric is not too warm. That was more of an old-school problem, and they have re-engineered the tops and the fabrics to keep them cool and help with airflow. I live in Texas and I am perfectly comfortable.

There goes that idea. I like a soft mattress.

This feels like floating. There is an opposing softness and firmness. It's hard to describe. Go to a store and try them out. I went to a Havertys and they had dozens of models. That's how I picked what I loved.
