Our Fiona

Can you tell how elated I was to be getting a new mattress? Its a Stern’s a nd Foster Fiona from their Estate Collection.  Sounds all fancy schmancy doesn’t it? Haha!t It must have been fate that it has Fleur De Lis embroidered into it.

The fiance is quite fond of it too! 🙂

Our old mattress was basically a pile of foam with stone rocks embedded into it. Well at least that’s what it felt like when we would wake up in the morning. So when we decided to purchase a new one the fiance insisted on having a Stern’s and Foster because he’s had one before and loved it. Until now I had never had a REALLY good mattress and he made the point that its at least a ten year investment. Plus I have Fibromyalgia so I decided to trust his opinion. That is until I saw how much these suckers costed. Even on clearance they are something like $2500!! Woa. Time for some Cheap Diva action. We went to a liquidation type place similar to the one were we got our couch for super cheap and we found the perfect one. With the mattress, box spring and delivery it was only around $1300! At this particular place the mattresses have been bought but only kept for a minumun amount of days and sent back. I know your thinking what I was thinking. Ick right? But the sales guy explained to us that they put the mattresses in a “mattress oven” to disinfect them and then put them through a rigorous inspection. Plus we got the same opportunity to bring it back if we didn’t like it.

Never being the sheepish enough to just take people’s word for the quality of something I examined the mattress myself once we got it home. By that I mean I first looked it over… and then I slept on it. Well let me tell you, not only did it look brand new but I had one of the best nights sleep that I’d had in YEARS! Yay for sleeping cheap!
