This is what $3,000 looks like

Our Tempur-pedic mattress was delivered today, it all it's rock-hard glory:

What does $3,000 smell like?  Well, it's less 'Chanel' and more 'chemical spill.'  Let's hope it airs out soon.  Also, check out my old mattress looking ashamed in the hallway:

Yes, old mattress.  You should be ashamed.  I will review this massive purchase after we get a couple nights sleep on it.  You know, when it softens up and doesn't smell like a latex factory.

  5. Mrs. Chic - it's the same headboard, but no pillows are blocking it in these pics. My super crafty mom made that tufted headboard for me a few years ago, isn't it rad?

  6. So jealous! We have a bed with a couple inches of tempurpedic on the top...it's heaven! I can't imagine having a whole bed made of it! Have you tried febrezing it to get the smell to go away?

  8. Ew, sorry to hear about that odor... looking forward to hearing the review, though! I agree, Febreze or some type of fabric refresher might help.

  10. Well, it looks like a well worth purchase. It looks like your old mattress is lerking in the background. :-P

  11. Too funny. Hope it stops smelling like chemical spill soon. I just replaced our shower liner and the bathroom is reeking with that yucko plastic smell, so I can relate. Ha.

    I'm cracking up at the mattress "looking ashamed" in the hallway.

  12. I never knew a mattress post could be so funny.

    Off-gassing sucks. Hope the new mattress works out in time.

  13. OK, excited to hear how the mattress turned out AND I LOVE the tufted headboard! I have a soft spot for all things tufted! Can I please have your master bedroom? It's everything I want!

  16. Hi Sara!

    I just found your blog and love it! I've been reading through all your old posts.

    I was just curious, now that you've slept on your new mattress for a couple months, what do you think of it? Was it worth the price tag? My husband and I are in the market for a new mattress so I'd love to hear a review of the Temperpedic.

    Thanks!
