I try, Dotsie! Mom just gave me her and Dad's bedroom set that I've had refinished. It is done and waiting for me to pick up. That will be the great finishing touch to my bedroom. The set is vintage danish modern manufactured in 1959. Mom actually still had the pages for the set out of the store product catalog,a typed page describing the finish and the original price tag so I got that, too!

Sheets...hmm...I like pretty. But I have found that the Ralph Lauren ones seem to last longer and even their pillows are my fav's...

Can I include another topic here?

Let's talk mattresses...for one thing, they are on sale every day of the year. Have you ever noticed that?

But would someone tell me how you KNOW which brands to buy? I need new ones for two beds in my house. Stay with me a sec. When I visit the casino's, I get the best sleep of my life. The mattresses are heavenly. I went so far as to inquire about them and it seems they are pillow-top and I forgot the brand name. Anyway, anybody here bought any new ones lately? Ones where you didn't have to sell a kidney to pay for them? How the heck do you determine soft, hard, medium, etc...?

Your question reminded me of the fairy tale Goldilocks, where the bears were describing the beds mattresses, one was to hard, one too soft and the other if memory serves me right was just right....Know any bears to take shopping??? LOL
No seriously JJ, the pillow tops are the best and most comfortable, all the major Casinos here use them too. Not sure wat stores you have there but as you say they all have sales.

JJ, We use to have a pillow top mattress. I think it was more like a pillow top and a pillow bottom with a mattress in between. It was very thick mattress and very comfy! The brand was Simmons Beauty Rest. We had it fot pert'ner 20 years too. The only problem was finding sheets to fit that thick of a mattress, and Landsend was the only place I could find those sheets. Now, we have a therma pedic mattress that we replaced the old beauty simmons with a number of years ago. I don't like it as well as the beauty rest. It is not as comfortable.

Did it cost you an arm and a leg? I'm not asking for the price, just if you thought it was reasonble...and WHERE you bought it? I hate making these types of purchases...

The pillow top we bought at Montgumery Wards(sp?) and paid around $700.00. The Therma mattress we bought from a local mattress factory store and paid close to $1000.00, which I thought was waaaaay to high. I hate it when you save for months to buy something and then are disappointed. I guess the reason I don't like it is because it feels too warm to me after I lay there awhile. I don't need to be warm at this time of my life! But...Alot of people like the therma and won't have anything else once they sleep on it. My husband likes the therma and says its comfortable to him, but didn't think it was worth the extra money we paid neither.

for a quick pillow-top mattress:
our mattress is worn out, too, but we can't afford a new one right now so I bought one of those memory foam mattress pads - about 2 or 3 inches thick. It was $150 but well worth the money - I'm sleeping much better and didn't have to pay for a new mattress.

How smart! Where do you get those Flipperjo? Wal-Mart? K-Mart? Sears?

Have any of you bought the feather beds for the top of your mattresses? We've purchased a couple for two of our college aged kids at Linens and Things. They seem to make a difference. The kids like them.

JJ, I got the topper at Herbergers. I think I've seen them at Target, too. Actually, I think most places have them by now.

Dotsie, we had a feathertop, too. It was really comfortable but after a while I had to "fluff" it every night because it got so packed down. It wasn't the best one on the market, but not the cheapest either.

Someone mentioned sheets for thick mattresses. When I used the feather topper I had a case for it, like a big pillow case - that on the topper and the duvet on the comforter served as our sheets. I kept a fitted sheet on the mattress and when it was time to change the sheets, I would just flip the feather topper. When both sides were soiled I washed both the cover and the fitted sheet. Sounds like a lot of hassle but it really wasn't and making the bed was a snap.
