When i went to pick up my son's new bed today, i realized that we had forgotten to purchase a mattress! oops! We bought the bed from Big lots,and so i looked at their mattresses. Their twin mattress was $99 and not that great quality. I wen then to BJ's and their mattress was $99 and much better quality. Then on a hunch, i went to a furniture store popular in new England (Bob's) and checked them out. Their basic mattress was $99 and not good quality. But then i went into their "pit", where they sell discontinued or damaged furniture at a very discounted price. JACKPOT! i found a twin size bob-o-pedic (their version of a (tempurpedic) mattress for $125! it retails for $250! The problem with it: there was a little bit of dirt on one corner from the truck interior! Are you kidding me??!!! My 12 yo ds had just said that he wanted one of those "squishy mattresses", at which point I told him that would likely never happen. when he arrived home from school today and I told him what happened he was sooo happy! I love when i can give them something special that they want!
