 I bought my current mattress and box spring from Woodwards in Edmonton
in 1986. Its a Sealy Posturepedic and I think that it cost me about
$700. I've never had a single problem with it. My motto is to stick with
the major brand names, don't look for bargain basement prices from
manufactures I've never heard of and finally, expect to pay full or near
full price for quality merchandise. The old adage that you get what you
pay for is still true today.
