Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
I'm a pretty thrifty guy but a good mattress is something I absolutely refuse to cheap out on. What else do you use 8 hours a day every day of the year? Yeah, but there ain't no reviews in a mattress or department store. Mattresses have HUGE markups and the way they use different models at differen...

I liked Spiderman the most when I was a kid. Mostly because he was such a wise ass. I've been down on Superman ever since I got old enough to realize that he was essentially infinitely powerful and therefore boring.

I bought mattresses for our condo on Amazon Prime and they've been great. I got memory foam for both of my kids and a memory foam-topped one for me and my wife. They came rolled up in very heavy boxes. Pretty awesome and WAY cheaper than from a mattress store. They actually all had free returns, but...
