Mattress and Box Spring Purchase: Follow-Up

Last year, I purchased a mattress and box spring and soon after I wrote about the entire process. Slate published a commentary about cutting through the marketing gimmicks and making a smart mattress purchase.

After reading the article, I still feel confident I made the right decision. After four months with the new mattress, my sleep has greatly improved. That's all that matters to me. The price was also pretty good. I don't feel a penny was wasted, as long as I don't consider the fact that all mattresses are overpriced. Speaking relatively, I'm happy with the deal I got.

The article at Slate is a good introduction to shopping for a mattress and helps the new shopper cut through the heaps of BS the salespeople will try to feed you.
