At first when I saw the price I was amazed and doubtful. I should have listened to my inner self. I never do. I’m very bad at being intuitive.

Normally six hundred bucks, a Sealy mattress for three hundred was a steal, it had to be. I placed the order franticly, as I assured myself the sale would end any second and I had none to waste. Foolish.

Once submitted and confirmed and printed I puffed up my chest and marched to see my woman, print out in hand. Look at me provider, hunter, gatherer, enjoy my presence. Her smile was enough but the hug and kiss was great as well. I had filled my manly duties for the day.

The mattress was scheduled to arrive on Saturday morning, between 11:15 and 1:15. Two phone confirmations later from Sears automatic confirmation system I was good to go, and Saturday arrived quickly.

Then at 1:07pm and 1:09pm I receive back to back calls from Sears letting me know they would be late, no later than 2:15 guaranteed. I got upset, and demanded a refund of my delivery charge, because I was supposed to be somewhere, and they waited until the very last minute to call and push me back further, for no reason other than traffic conditions and slow delivery drivers. After three phone support techs and one supervisor I received my refund and one very sincere (I think) apology.

Unfortunately, at 3pm when the Sears delivery arrived, I was not very happy to say the least. Then to top it off the mattress is a complete hunk of shit, and the wrong size. so three hundred bucks and 4 hours of waiting around later I have a very expensive, time consuming cot mattress that doesn’t fit the foundation of my original old bed AND they took the old mattress with them. OH JOY!

I need to research things better before buying. Really I do.
