I was looking for a heated electric throw for a friend, and came across this.
Sure is tempting to maybe buy something I was contemplating buying sometime anyway. Their prices seem 'good' if it truly something you want/need/will use, and/or give as a nice gift.
I've been thinking about a memory foam matress, and will have to ponder getting one at that price, with $1 shipping. At night I sleep for a bit, and wake up aching,, just to roll over, and repeat the same thing several times throughout the night. I bought a new mattress not long ago (nice and soft), and I can move it to the spare bedroom where the matress is in really BAD shape. I just wonder if the memory foam would keep me from waking up aching, since it reduces the pressure points. I studied and studied matresses b4 I bought the last (nice and soft) one I'm presently using. I just so want a good nights sleep.

| They have dollar shipping or sometimes even free shipping very often. I think their shipping is usually only like $2.95 (for your entire shipment) so if you don't get around to ordering something this weekend, it shouldn't cost you too much more. |

| Thanks Carla! That's good to know, and now I won't even take a chance on buying on impulse this weekend. Quote by Mark Twain, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow." It is my motto also, (lots of the time) and my favorite coffee cup has the quote on it...so I can start the day 'right'. Sue |

| RE: Memory Foam Mattress. My husband and I got married last fall and spent several months sleeping in the full size bed I grew up sleeping in. It was awkward for us to share the bed (I know many cuples that do so sucessfully) But because I had slept in the bed alone for 18 years, it was a big adjustment to share it with someone else. So we decided to get a queen. My husband has health problems so we discussed it at length and finally decided to get a tempurpedic mattress. WOW! The first night I fell in love with it. My husband is a light sleeper and it took him several weeks to adjust, but now we are both hooked. We actually hate traveling or visiting my parents because we only want to sleep in our own bed. It is amazing how comfortable it is. Word of caution though: The foam traps your body heat and can make it seem like it is hot. If you don't like to be too warm when you sleep, this might be an issue for you. In an effort to keep the electric bill low We keep our house rather cold during the winter (62-64deg) so the mattress helps hold in our body heat and makes us feel warmer, but in the summer when we are trying to restrain ourselves with the AC, it makes things quite warm. We slept only with a sheet most of the summer because it was so warm (the dog wouldn't even sleep on the bed it was too hot for him). But all in all, we both agree that it was the best thing we have purchased since getting married (above even our house!). Good luck and best wishes,

| Thanks for sharing your memory foam experience. I have read a lot of reports, and none of them have been a mix of the good (it being so comfortable) and the not so good (being so warm due to sinking into it). I now think I want to give it a try, more than ever. If it is too warm in the summer, I'll just move it to the spare room, and any company I might have, will have to deal with it. Sue |
