Dennis and I did some mattress shopping on Saturday. Eleven years ago we were encouraged to buy an Englander mattress. The salesperson promised us that this mattress would last forever and that it was the best mattress out there and that we would sleep like babies on it and that we would win the lottery and that....
The salesperson was wrong. It wasn't the best mattress, we didn't sleep like babies on it and we didn't win the lottery.
Over the years we put up with the mattress. I was bothered with morning back, neck and shoulder pain much more than Dennis and so the female nature in me chose to just put up with it.
Well I'm tired of putting up with it and we are now shopping around for a new mattress. What a fun chore. How can I believe anything the web or the salesperson has to say about a mattress? How can I tell how this mattress will feel after laying on it for 7-8 hours, when I lie on it for 10 minutes in the store and the salesperson is yakking at me while i'm laying there?
What a difference in prices. We can spend anywhere from $800-4000 on a mattress set.
