I need a new mattress. I've found a Tempur-Pedic that I really like at Miskelly. But I see that the Avacado Green is very highly rated. Only catch is they don't have a showroom anywhere near here. So, I'd have to order and then have I think 3 or 4 months to return it if I don't like it. But it seems to me it would be a huge PITA to box up a mattress and foundation and return it. Plus I think most companies charge a fee of a couple hundred for a return. Any advice from the board?
OT - Has anyone ever returned a mail-order mattress?

- Start date
I did this a few times with purple, Casper, etc. I think I tried 4. Didn’t like any of them! Ha. Anyways, contact them in the 90 day period and they send a goodwill store out to pick it up. It was funny that they sent the same store every time and the pickup lady was like awesome, thanks for another one.
Up until the last word, I thought I was about to open a very interesting thread.
Buy a Sleep Number Mattress and be done with it. It’s infinitely adjustable so it can be whatever you want, soft, firm, and anywhere in between. I have three of them.
They won't take it back if it's got pecker tracks
I purchased a Natural Form Mattress when I shipped my 1st sleep number back for leaking air, the 2nd for not being delivered as promised.
it was 1/3rd the price and twice as comfortable. It is an air adjustable mattress that doesn’t use motors. You set it to the comfort you want and it stays there.

I have the Euro version. The sales people were simple to deal with.

Brooklyn Bedding sent me a new one replacing a slight sag on the original almost a year after order. Asked me to donate old one to charity which we did. Since bought another for daughter and will continue to do business with them in the future. They are CR highly rated. Wait for 25% off sale around major holidays if you’re ordering from any online.
I misread the last word and was looking forward to the discussion. A mail-order mistress sounds better than a mail-order bride to me....
The next time one of you wahoos has Goodwill pick up a $10K mattress that you farted on for 6 nights please let me know the store location.
If you don't like it, I'm sure the Godfather will take it off your hands just in case... **
No. But I have a Nectar. If you are a side or back sleeper, it’s awesome.
I only buy my mattresses second hand from Motel 6.
Something you might want to consider is a mattress topper. I bought a 3” high density memory foam one from the below. Made my bed feel like a new one. I found it on Amazon on sale(Queen) for about $120. Many brands to pick from including Tempur-Pedic. I just put one on my mattress at my condo. Sleeps great.

I bought a Saatva mattress and kept it for almost a year. There was nothing wrong with it, but I called and complained about it just for the hell of it. Their customer service sent me a brand new mattress free of charge within a week of my complaint-I told them that the mattress was “sagging” even though it wasn’t. They sent me a brand new mattress and told me to “dispose” of the old one. I moved the old mattress to the duck camp even though there wasn’t really anything wrong with it. Later, I told them that there really wasn’t anything wrong with the old mattress but they didn’t care about that-they sent me a new one anyhow. I offered to pay for the new one but they didn’t care. I felt pretty bad about that, but they didn’t care. I guess they care more about their reputation than anything. At this point I can’t say anything but good things about Saatva…
You're right about the mattress topper. Unfortunately for me now, that's what's gotten the last 8 or so years of life out of the old mattress. It's to the point now where even if I bought a new topper, it still wouldn't be nearly as comfortable as that TempurPedic I tried out last week. It's kind of expensive (but you could easily pay double), but I figure over the life of the mattress, it works out to about 50 cents per night.Something you might want to consider is a mattress topper.

If you buy a Mattress from one of those Mattress Depot or Mattress Warehouse type stores, that likely what you are getting. There is a business near me that takes old hotel mattresses and trade in mattresses and puts new covers on them and ships the out to those discount mattress places.
