The mattress listed go in like an hour. We found a place in oxnard...the mattress warehouse that sells sets brand new, cheaper than the goodwill. So I think I'm going there. i’ve seriously been sitting on craig’s list for like a week. The mattress listed go in like an hour.

You can pick up some $1.50 wine and knick-knacks while you're there too. :-) Big Lots sometimes has mattresses- and, yes, they are cheap!

I don't know about your kids but my kids don't know the difference of cheap or not. Did you check Craigslist? I don’t know about your kids but my kids don’t know the difference of cheap or not.

Pretty comfy, and it takes a lot less money to just replace the pillow top after a couple years than it does to buy the more expensive mattress in the first place. Three days a week I sleep on our Coleman air mattress and that is comfy too- at the amazing price of $60. But I would love to have a select comfort mattress. It's my wish, maybe in like 10 years.

As long as it is functional, looks good and is priced good what does it matter that <em>you</em> know it's fake? I thought we were talking about mattresses?

One is better. Right? There can be a difference. Whether the markup is justified, probably not, but there is still a difference.
