We are looking at getting a new mattress. We like the Simmons BeautyRest BLACK series, but different stores have different names for the same mattress (I think). We are in Colorado. The 2 mattresses are the Simmon BeautyRest Black Tatiana and Dafne. Are these the same mattresses, just given a different name to make it seem exclusive for that store? Thanks for the help!

Which mattress will work better? I know electric no battery but is the electric mattress better quality. I ask because an example coleman mattress battery operated .00 and Electric .00 or higher. Why such the price difference surely pump can’t make that much of a difference. Which mattress would you choose and why?

How long does it take for bed bugs to infest?

I was exposed to bed bugs a little over 2 months ago. I have zero signs of them except one series of bites I got last night. I checked the box spring and mattress and sheets thoroughly but there are no signs. I am still paranoid. How long does it usually take after an exposure for you to see signs if you have them?

temperpedic vs. sleep number?

I need a new mattress and have read a few brochures on both the sleep number beds and the temperpedic beds. I was wondering if anyone who has one of these beds can tell me first hand whether or not they like them and why. thanks:)

How not to take bed bugs along when I move?

I have some bed bugs that I recently have picked up from an hotel or two, and am usually bitten once a night. But i’m moving soon, and since I know they could be just about anywhere, what should my strategy be to make sure that they don’t hitch a ride with me? I’m junking the mattress.

There is a huge lump across my mattress?

The mattress is 5 years old, Its a pillow top serta, it’s still just like new.
It got the lump from transporting to our house when I first got it.
It looks so ugly! I can’t even put nice blankets on it, because either way it still has a huge lump in it. There’s no hiding it. I’ve tried getting it out myself, but it seems al the fabric is bundled up.
I’ve thought about making a cut in it so i could get it out.
Any other options?

My fiance was taken advantage of?

Ok so, Im in a long distance relationship right now. I love my girlfriend with all my hart and shes te same. We have been together for two years now. So my girlfriend went camping with her mom and her moms friends last month and she was drinking….a lot. Now her mom went home because she had to work in the early morning. My girlfriend stayed with her moms friend. One of the friends brought one of their own friends that she did not know. He was very nice to everyone. Anyway I told her I didn’t like her being there with strange people drunk who are also drunk. I kept texting her that night and we always talk on the phone before she goes to bed every night. She fell asleep around 2AM and I hung up and went to bed because I thought she would be ok in the camper with her aunt. She calls me in the morning and tells me that the guy came into the camper and woke her up. He asked her if she was single(which he knew she wasn’t because she told him she was talking to me her boyfriend on the phone earlier.) She is hysterically crying at this point and she tells me first off that he DID NOT rape her. She tells me he was holding her down while kissing her. Now I heard how drunk she was on the phone and she was pretty shit-faced and her aunt took her to the camper. Anyway he held her face and was kissing her. I asked what else. She hesitates and answers that when she wouldn’t kiss him he grabbed her by the hair and shoved her down on him. She tells me he made her do it twice and she pulled away and tried to get off the mattress. But he was too strong so he kept her on the bed and took her by the throat and took her hand and did it with his hand. When he was done he went onto the camper couch and she ran out and cried then fell asleep on the lawn chair by where the fire used to be. She texts me in the morning and says that she was fine and when I asked if anything happened she told me. While she was telling me I was balling my eyes out crying. I don’t drink smoke or do drugs because I had a bad past and she promised she will go straight with me. I find out that she was not going to tell me until she asked her friend and she said she should tell me. I learn that and I feel like she lied to me, this makes me wonder if the story she told me was true. I wonder if it didn’t go like that like if she wanted it and if they did have sex and she cheated on me. The story she told me I do not consider cheating. After she told me that I left work took off the next couple days without telling her and came straight to her house and she cried on me all night.
This was a week after I asked her to marry me so shes my fiance not my girlfriend. I knew I couldn’t put her down about this I just needed to be there for her then…But now I don’t know what to do.
Im not looking for the answer to a specific question Im just really lost right now and I need a good overall opinion on this.

My parents are having a big garage sale next weekend and they are selling some decent stuff (i.e. furniture, etc.), so it should bring in a decent crowd as far as garage sales go. Anyway, I have a mattress and box spring set that’s been in my storage unit for 3.5 years and I’m going to put it in there. I think I paid 0/650 or so for the set when I bought it. I slept on it for a year and then put it in storage, so it’s about 4.5 years old. It’s queen size by the way.

How much should I list it for?

I’ve also got an older TV, which is about 27" in. What do you think? ? ?
