HEY!! I love coming to your blog and checking out all of your cool stuff and see how Nugget is doing.
I too just got the Sleep Innovations mattress about a month ago! Buzzing around Amazon, looking at reviews, settled on this company and HAPPY I did. Yes, insane how they get that monster rolled into a tube and packaged in a sturdier than wood box. I had the pleasure of setting our king size. 12″ bad boy, all by myself. I think sweat was involved, but I did it!!

I’ve heard that some of these memory foam mattresses can be really hot… do you find that?

We got our memory foam mattress off of Amazon. The great thing about memory foam is that so long as you know what density and thickness you want, the different models really are comparable. There’s no need to pay Tempurpedic prices. The memory foam mattresses coming in a box is standard – only feasible way to ship them is to compress them! We’ve had ours for about 5 years and it’s just like new. It also cost $400 instead of $2000.

Seeing this, I can’t help but giggle, and have to share my memory foam story.
I got a new memory foam mattress (our first new in a new new, not new-to-us way)earlier this year, from a local overstock type dealer, and since it was a great price, comfortable, eco-friendly, and manufactured semi-locally (about an hour away) I got it, without the hubs, because he thought it was a great idea to put ME, the super indecisive I-can’t-even-decide-what-I-want-to-eat part of this duo in charge of one of our biggest purchases to date. Imagine the look on his face when he showed up to get our new, and super talked-up, bed, and it was in a box no bigger than our 7 year old! Oh, the lecture I got!
He decided to just take the lesson (you know, don’t make the indecisive one make a choice, or she’ll just totally buy into the salesman’s spiel and be done with it) and opened it up, and, since I had to work third shift, I have to take his word for it, but after I left for work, and he tucked babies in their mattresses for the night (did I mention we were moving?) he sat on the mattress, and apparently fell into a deep coma of heaven until I woke him up the next morning!
We still make jokes about how it seemed like the little mattress that wouldn’t, but is one of the best things we own! Of course, I just realized we put it down upside down, which explains why the zipper top is impossible to get off!

Which mattress did you get from Sleep Innovations. Was it the 14″ memory foam model? I’m looking for a matress to get up a small stairwell so this sounds like a great option. Thanks!

Hope the mattress is better, way better than it’s advertising video. One minute of a dancing as an intro to a two minute video is shameful. I hope they got a deal on production. Or maybe the CEO’s daughter is a dancer and come up the the idea. Sheesh.

I just bought one of these bad boys from Costco a few months ago and it’s so comfortable. I love it! Best mattress I’ve had, not that I’ve had many to really compare it to besides old hand me downs.
