A. Highly doubt it, unless there is a promotion going on or something
What would be the proper etiquette for this situation?
Q. So, my husband and I are going to look at a bedroom set off Craigslist this afternoon. It includes the mattress. I want to try the mattress out and everything but I don't want to look like a weirdo considering it is in their private home. So, since I've never done this before, I was hoping for some words of advice...Should I just feel the mattress with my hand? Ask permission to lay down on it? Just *hope* it's comfortable and wait until I get it home to try it out? Please Help!!
A. I'm with Therese and Suri (1st poster)--
IF you can at all afford it right now, grab a new mattress; or, alternatively, one from places that have fumigated the still-good used mattress and vacuum-packed it-- (often agencies dealing in social services know of such places)-- But-- with all the knowledge we have of diseases--viruses, we have no idea who is carrying what--and not to sound gross or nasty-- but let's be real-- how much clothing is worn during sleep (never mind other possible activities), so how much skin cells (ie-- bed-bugs, tiny microscopic nastiest) are filling the mattress.
BUT, if you're bound to purchase this bed;
Ensure you SEE the mattress--itself-- box-springs and top--- no bedding-- you need to see what you're really getting-- do you want something that might have stains (and who knows how they came to be there?) on it: then know forehand-- Never forget-- in private deals like this-- it's "buyer beware" !!
Without being rude, do tell the sellers you want to lie down on the bed, (but have a flat-sheet tucked into your purse-- DO put it on top the mattress before you lie down; it's a subtle way of playing with their mind-- they'll pipe up and say something to defend why you needn't worry-- which provides you with an opening along the lines of "oh, so it's been professionally steam cleaned and you can guarantee I can sleep naked on the mattress? Then watch their faces-- listen to any catches in the voice-- that's body-language telling you if they're hiding something and about to lie-- If they hedge-- ask for proof-- and then toss in something along the lines of being willing to overlook that if they drop the price 150 bucks-- :-)
Make sure you check the framing too-- no hidden cracks where it'll give when you sit/lie. As regards the actual night stands, chest of drawers and dresser, do a thorough check on the smooth workings of the drawers and hinges-- check the backs of things to see if there are any cracks-- look at the levelness (or lack thereof) of the inside of the drawers-- (the bottom--heavy items will have warped the drawer, a pain to open and close for you, right? )---- check for any black or white flecks of something-- it could mean some small bug droppings-- which means-- eggs.
DO payattention to the overall way the house is kept, that'll give you an idea of how the bedroom suite/mattress has been kept-- ask if they still have the receipt for the mattress, so you get an idea of how much life there still is in it.
When you settle on a price-- do get a steam cleaner from the grocery store-- clean the mattresses and buy a mattress cover, just to be on the safe side. All the best ~~

When you buy a bedroom set does it come with the Matress too?
Q. I am looking online for a bedroom set and it does not say anything about a Matress included.. I need to know if i need to save money for a matress too.
A. usually the mattress and box springs are sold seperately from the bedroom set. make sure when you purchase the mattress, you are getting the set.
i don't recommend buying a mattress online. this is a product you need to see, touch and feel before buying

A. Many of those stores will have complete bedroom sets that will hit your 3000.00 budet. Go shop and find the one that appeals to you. If you are confused as to which company is best then check them out on the BBB to see how they service their customers. http://www.bbb.org/
