Buying a bed.

So, for just over a year I've been sleeping on a futon mattress that has no frame. Just a mattress, on the floor, like an animal.

I've decided as a technical adult I should perhaps invest in something more bedlike.

I spend far too much time yesterday looking into this shit. It seems a Latex mattress is the way to go, but, I read nothing but fantastic reviews about this Casper mattress, which is a latex over memory foam, over a solid foam core. Here is the sitehttps://casper.com/mattresses

Now, it's super fucking obvious they have an insane PR department. On top of that, they have a gimmick where anyone who buys a mattress and refers someone else gets $50, and you can get it as much as you want. I honestly wish this wasn't the case, as it makes every review entirely suspect to me. "Best mattress ever! The only problem you will have is the constant blowjobs and free money you're going to get if you buy it! Here's my reference number!"

All that being said, I've found several reputable places that seem to praise it as well... so hopefully it's not all smoke and mirrors? It seems like a great mattress, and it's $850, which from my research seems like a solid price. Anyone have thoughts?


Now, on top of that, I need an actual bed frame. I also spent hours looking at frames, and 99% of them I just go "Well thats plain and boring, I'm not paying $500, $1000, whatever, for that."

I "think" I like the look of this one? Seem's like it could be a good for watching movies, reading, or whatever too, something I currently never do, as I don't find sitting for long periods on my bed comfortable. So this next part is just a "You guys like this bed?" if not, have some suggestions?

I think you also want a footboard so that the Dog can't see what you're doing up there. You have to preserve some mystery between the species.

Pet free, for life if I can help it.

I don't really roll out of the bed ever, but one of the drawbacks of Latex mattresses is they don't really have stiff sides, so sitting on the edge of the bed to put shoes on or something doesn't work too well. I thought that might actually help with that. And if I'm being honest, I thought the firm edges, sloped footboard, and padded headrest might all be worked into sex stuff at one point or another.

Well fuck. Now all I see is racecar bed. I wonder if that was the subliminal appeal. God damn it Iannis.

We have a Casper in our apartment, I dig it. Our house has a much more expensive Sterns & Foster normal spring mattress, I prefer the Casper.

I'll warn you though, it's fairly firm. I prefer a firm mattress personally, but if you're into the super pillow top type of mattress you may not like it. The nice thing with Casper is they offer no questions asked 100 day full refund, they even have someone come and pick it up if you want to return it.

Edit: forgot to add, the Casper still has nice bounce for sex. May sound silly, but I know of people who don't like sex on a memory foam mattress due to no bounce.

What's your referral number thing? Like everyone sad, the hundred day return policy thing that's apparently super easy kind of makes it a no brainer to try it at least. If I'm hooking someone up with 50 bucks it might as well be someone from the board.

I'm still up in the air about the race car bed thing. I still really like it, and I showed it to a few people who liked it as well, but now I'm leery. Blarg.
