Mrs. Bean dropped a bomb on me this morning over coffee.

I've been on more planes and stayed in more motels than everyone on this board combined.
Ooh…a travel dick measuring contest - I guess with my handle I have to respond, plus we have pilots that post regularly.

I am quite certain you have not been on more planes than me. I’m at 2.8 million flight miles on United and close to another million on American - not to mention all the other carriers I have flown on.

You probably have stayed at more motels than me though.
 
1. Probably the Sis in Law wore all the mattresses out when Bean was out of the house.
2. Can't imagine why all of them would need to be replaced. If you held on to 3 or 4 of them and the new one sucked at least you could swap back out to the old one.
3. Mattress game seems to have changed over the last few years. The purple mattress and all the other ones seem to have revolutionized the mattress game. I haven't bought one since this happened so curious if these are all a bunch of BS or not.
4. Thread title indicated a Cleveland Steamer and some folks will be leaving this thread disappointed. That's not my kink - but I'm sure it's someones.

I had to check out Urban Dictionary to know what #4 was all about.

I suggest a nice set of rubber sheets

We have five beds in our home. About three years ago she bought each bed a new fangled super duper mattress. Now she sez she is over them and out they are going to go, all five of them. She tells me the new ones are "self cooling" will have a ten year warranty....which leads me to this question - how often do you guys buy a new mattress?
I always wondered how these mattress stores stayed in business. Thanks for the insight.

Right, the old “Someone here might be interested in a pile of shit on their chest, but that’s certainly not me!!” line.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we’re all getting a bit sick of your lies!
 
I agree with you in principle. But, my wife has a household budget, she knows to the penny how much she has at any given time. I don't stick my nose in.
You have your wife on a strict budget? For me, I am reminded of the old joke: "My wife had her credit card stolen but I haven't cancelled it yet because the thief is spending less than she did."
 
A used mattress?

It's not ideal, for sure, but if you don't have a lot of money it's likely far nicer than what they are sleeping on currently. Of course, it doesn't take long for those mattresses to get trashed too but it's nice for a little while at least.

If my wife dropped a bomb on me each morning in bed, then I agree new mattresses are in order.

I can't come close on the number of miles flown - even when I was traveling a lot it was only 1 flight every week or two. I did have a run where I was staying >200 nights/yr in hotels. That's when I found out that Starwood had an "Ambassador" level - where you got a dedicated phone number that rang to a person (the same person each time), who would take care of whatever you needed, and get you the best upgrade wherever you stayed. They also would have gifts like wine, candies, etc waiting in the hotel room for me, or sent to the house on holidays: I really miss that part of traveling!

You just gave Trad a hard on

Hardly ever, add a pillow top or memory foam pad to top it with. You two must have money to burn

This just came to me, you threw us a softball and it took way too long for me to make the connection:

I think there are circumstances where a used mattress could be pretty gross (pee stains, etc), and others where it's a non-factor. I bought new beds when we moved into the house in TX. As soon as they were installed we put on anti-microbial mattress covers. No one will ever sleep directly on that mattress - or sweat, or pee, or "finish", etc. When we eventually swap them out down the road, they'll look exactly like the day we got them. In that case, why would someone who doesn't have a bed care about getting my old one?

Ours is 15 years old and I think it might be time for a new one. I’m waiting for the CE0 to respond formally.
