So for the last 6 months, I have slept on a frankenmattress. It started life as a soft side waterbed with tubes. About a 2 years into its life, all the tubes began to leak. Replacing the tubes even with a warranty prorate cost about as much as a new mattress, so i chucked the leakyness and cut up some foam to fill the void.
I used the foam I had sitting around the house, and the results have been less than satisfactory. Cut to today, i am cruising mattress stores, going from one liquidation closeout sale to another factory return closeout...... i get to a place that i can tell the moment I walk in i cant afford stuff here.
I am greeted by a very friendly woman, and she goes over products and pricing. They sell organic all natural cruelty free vegan bedding.... a queen costs more than my first car. I am about to thank them for their time and be on my way, when the owner’s daughter comes in with a super nice doxie. She and the saleswoman have a convo about my situation and she says come with me.
We go to the storage area and she pulls out 4 slabs of foam two high density and two plush, says these were from a return, and we cant resell it. And gives them to me.
If any seattle area oppos want to know where to go to get the worlds most awesome customer service, or a really spensive but toxin free fancy people bed, the sleep store cannot be more highly praised for helping out a stranger in need.

That’s really cool!
There’s something to be said for really good customer service. I bought my wife’s engagement ring at Tiffany’s. I showed up to this super fancy store after school, still covered in saw dust. They treated me like gold. I don’t buy my wife jewelry very often, but when I do, it’s there and it always will be. And I tell everyone to go there.
There’s a kajillion mattress stores out there, even high end ones, but you found one that seperated itself with friendly people and great non-judgemental service. Here you are telling people to go there, and I guarantee if you can ever afford it, you’ll be buying some fancy vegan bedding there in the future.
I wish more companies understood that.

Its natural latex. Apparently a big part of the cost is treating them with special flame retardants. If I had 2 grand lying around, would totally consider it.

Me too. The current model of srewing everybody and everything for another fraction of a penny is annoying and shortsighted.

Indeed it is.
Judging a potential customer based on how they look is too. I tried to buy a cheap wedding band for myself at Macy’s. Stood at the jewelry counter for 12 minutes while four clerks talked to each other, and never so much as said hi. Gave up and left, never went back.
