Queen size mattresses

My husband and I have been able to afford comfortable homes throughout our marriage. We have upgraded each time we moved to have bigger rooms and more amenities. Our first home had a large master bedroom, but the two guest rooms were very small. We had twin beds in each room and that did not leave much room for anything else. When we moved to a larger house we up graded to queen size mattresses in the guest rooms. We have always had queen size mattresses for our bed, and it seemed easier in buying sheets and bed spreads, to have all the same size mattresses.

There are many grades of mattresses to consider when buying one. We did not have a great deal of money to spend on the queen size mattresses in the spare rooms. We wanted to make sure that guests were comfortable, but we did not think it was necessary to buy top of the line. The sales person at one of the stores we went to was very helpful in pointing out the features and advantages of each grade of mattress. We explained that the queen size mattresses in the spare rooms would have occasional use only. We estimated four nights a month, which is probably much higher use estimation than we will really have. The sales person showed us two queen mattresses that they had in the warehouse on clearance sale. The manufacture has changed the fabric of the mattress covers for the new models so the old ones are discontinued.

There is still a warranty on the mattresses; the only difference is the color of the fabric cover. The sales person let us know that we could get these two higher quality mattresses for less than the next lower grade. He was willing to include new sheet sets for both beds, if we were willing to take both. The queen sets came with a fifteen year warranty, and that was if you were sleeping in them every night. We figure that with the occasional use these will get, we will not have to purchase new mattresses for many years. When you are in the market for new beds, especially if they are for guest rooms, check out the clearance items. We also found that you get higher quality and better prices if you look for mattresses at stores that specialize in them verses a furniture store or department store. Also most mattress dealers are willing to take your old mattresses when they deliver the new ones.
