We finally have a new bed!
I got the replacement PayPal card in the mail yesterday, we immediately left to go to the bed place. We got there 30 minutes before they closed and the owner was there. We told her we were there to pick out a king sized bed and we were told that they had a bunch starting at 250. Well, she immediately was like, I don’ think so, our Kind sized beds start at 600!! I about cried, I was like but we were here 3 months ago and the lady that worked here showed us a ton, just like the ones in here now for 300 and under. That we had been saving for 3 months and were promised a nice bed. She said the lady we were talking about was fired last week for under pricing everything. I decided that it would be a better idea to get ’sad’ rather than ‘mad’ and I went with it, I got teary and was like she told us that we would be able to get one for 300. It worked, she said she was sorry the lady did that, but she had been young once too, so she took us in the back where all the beds were that had not been put into the system yet, we found a king sized sealy posterpedic, huge pillow top, with just a bunch of scuffs and such on the end (it it a factory outlet- dirty and damaged new beds get sent here)
She was so nice, she gave us that bed for 321.00 including tax. We also got the box springs but no frame, so I have gotta call around to see how much a frame will be. Lesson learned: It is much better to be nice no matter what you want to tell someone, than to freak out and get angry!
We got the bed home and set it up, along with the new sheet set and 4 new pillows we picked up on sale last week (600 thread count!) Oh my goodness- it felt amazing! I slept sooo well last night! I am so glad it worked out, I would have just lost it if she had not honored what her employee said. We have waited so long for this bed! We are going to take the old queen sized bed to the CARC - (the center for people with disabilities- dont know what it stands for, but thats what it is) they have a little store, and that is where I found my wedding gress for 65.00 when the first dress didnt work out. I am so glad we are able to ‘give back’ something now! They saved our wedding, my first dress had an alteration problem- 2 days before the wedding! And they sold me a beautiful dress with a train and everything for only 65! Whew!! They deserve everything we have! LOL

Congrats on the new bed! We just got a new one as well, but didn“t have your luck with the underpricing. Instead, we are paying on a monthly plan. :P But it is worth it to be able to sleep without getting stabbed in the leg with a stray spring!

Congrats on your new piece of mind! Boy, didn’t that come off as a salesman pitch or what!
Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bit!
Good night
