Matresses

[wopphil]

Do people still get box springs like it's the 80s?

I agree with the pics that were posted. You don't need one with today's mattresses.

We had to. I think Macy's said the mattress isn't warrantied without one.

Does Kohl's sell mattresses? If so, I'm sure they're regularly priced at $10K but discounted 87%

cool

i have a crazy badass bed from RH, and it requires a boxspring given how its built.

but i got a thinner boxspring so you dont need a rope ladder to get in bed.

normal size 9" boxsprings are comical when pillowtop mattresses these days are like a foot and a half tall.

And get Kohls Cash if you buy at the right time.

I just gave away that there are females in the house.

Perhaps this should be posted in the AW After Dark forum so that Victor's mom can chime in with her opinion.

i'm not sure chuck has enough bandwidth for here to cover all the mattresses she's experienced.

In Kohl's defense, at least they've become predictable, One deal and your getting screwed; two and your paying a reasonable price; three and your getting a good deal (as long as you come back and follow up spend)

 

Yeah, Kohl's sucks.

It is just a smaller version of JCP.  Same quality clothing.  I pretty much see all clothing retail as a rip off.  Markup is 3.5x cost on all of it.

I sold big and tall men's clothing in the late 1970s. Our markup back then was 100% or more. If you knew the code, you could tell from the tag on the item what the store paid for it. The salesmen weren't getting rich either. My commission was three percent of everything over $8K for the month (this was at 1977 prices), plus a $500 monthly base salary.

So when I buy a t-shirt at Kohls on clearance for $2, I'm getting ripped off?

 

No, the guy who paid $45 - 30% sale discount got ripped off. 

 

The guy two days before you, paid $45 - 30% - 25% scratchoff discount, - another 10% for putting it on a Kohls' card and received $10 in Kohls' cash. He got a fair deal. You got a good deal. Unless of course, the shirt is so hideous you will never wear it outside of your house.

 

It's not that hard if you keep it simple.

This thread man. I'd sleep on a block of concrete with a hoody on if it wasn't for women.

I worked as a consultant designing a POS/Inventory system for a guy that owned Traffic (very high end clothing store) in the Beverly Center as well as three Hugo Boss franchises.  Part of the inventory system was to enter the cost and the retail multiplier.  I think the smallest I saw was 2.7(sunglasses) and almost all were 3.5.

 

I only was there for three months getting the system up and running but my girlfriend at the time loved it because I could get those Seven jeans for 35 bucks.

Looking for an affordable mattresses for guest rooms.  Any new experiences out there?  

[Jason]

Costco has some reasonable prices

[Glen]

Wife and I got the Zinus Memory Foam mattress a few months ago, king size, for under $300 on amazon.  We love it.

[Blarg]

Get an inflatable bed since no one is probably sleeping there more than 10 nights a year.

Or tell them to stay in a hotel, and then everyone wins.

Plus if you buy at the right time, you get $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend.

I just gave away how often that we wind up there.

We bought a Serta Observer Super Pillow Top from RC Willey last August. Very happy with the mattress. Ours required a foundation (what they are calling box springs these days, I suppose). Cost $1,275 for the mattress and $225 for the foundation.
