Childrens
Foam Chairs Pillows Memory Beds
Just 4 years
ago I bought a Childrens Foam Chairs set from a major department
store and paid beaucoup bucks for it. After just 4 years,
for some reason, the mattress sags towards the center. I had
a pro-rated 10 year warranty on the set, but I just didn't
want the hassle of dealing with a department store on warranty
issues. I ordered one, as
the price was just $190 plus shipping. Now - shipping is where
they really get you for a steep amount. UPS shipping was $48,
but then again I didn't have to pay any sales tax so the total
price wasn't bad. Did you hear that right - UPS SHIPPING?
Yes, these mattresses come from Dalton, GA rolled up like
a jellyroll and they fit into a regular cardboard box.
The
box measures approximately 65 inches long by 18 inches by
18 inches. And it's fairly lightweight as mattresses go. You
can easily slide it down the hall and into the bedroom. If
your bedroom is upstairs, it's still easy to maneuver if you
have someone to help you. You remove
the Childrens Foam Chairs from the box and lay it on your
box spring or platform. It's covered with cellophane wrap.
Carefully cut the two strips of cellophane and it unrolls
and starts to expand. In just a few minutes it will expand
to 90% of its size, and within 24 hours it is fully expanded
and ready to sleep on. This version is one of the lowest
cost from this company. So don't expect
much in the cotton-polyester cover. It's off white in color
and pretty blah, not damask.
Underneath the cover one side
of the mattress has cotton ticking for a summer side, and
wool ticking on the reverse side for winter. There is a label
on the Childrens Foam Chairs telling which side is which. But to be honest,
I kept mine on the summer side until I got my featherbed.
Now I flip it over once a month to keep the mattress even.
It's very lightweight - one person can do it easily. Getting
used to sleeping on a foam mattress does take awhile. Took
me around 2 weeks, but after that learning curve, it is pure
heaven. I don't toss and turn anymore, and a lot of mornings
when I wake up, I don't believe I've moved all night. It does
take more effort to actually get out of bed, as there are
no springs in this mattress to help give you a boost.
