11 Do & Don'ts for Mattress Shopping From Danny SeoIt might be your mattress. Apart from a couch, shopping for a mattress can take a large chunk out of your home furniture budget but it's a smart investment in your life. To learn how to get the most out of our money, we went mattress shopping with Danny Seo a few weeks ago to check out Natural Care, his new mattress line, and to learn some tips about getting a good mattress at a good price. And we also learned some things we wish we hadn't. Be prepared to be grossed out! DO lie down on the bed you're thinking about and curl up for a few minutes in the position you like to sleep in. Get yourself comfortable with a few pillows. Hey, you'd better like it; returning a mattress is nearly impossible. DON'T buy a mattress on Craig's List. When you buy a new mattress, you put your old one out on the street to have it picked up, right? Well, it may not be picked up by the trash man but by folks who take those old mattresses, slap on some new fabric, wrap 'em in plastic and sell them to you on Craig's List or at close outs.
DO consider the fabric the mattress is covered in. While you'll likely cover it with a mattress protector of some kind, it's possible you'll feel the texture through your sheets. Danny's new line is covered in a plush super soft fabric; you almost don't need a sheet! DON'T waste your time trying to find the same mattress at another store, thinking you can beat the price or get a price match (as some places advertise). You'll never find that same mattress at another store. Turns out that every store orders unique names for their mattresses. DO bargain with your salesman. You may be able to get a few dollars off. DON'T buy the floor model. C'mon, think of how many people have laid down on it. With their shoes on. DO consider buying your mattress at a store like Dream at HD Buttercup in Culver City. The sales people don't work on commission. They're genuinely interested in selling you a great bed. DON'T believe that firmer is always better. What you want is a mattress that cradles your body.
DO put a piece of plywood under your mattress if you'd like it firmer. This is a good compromise for couples who often have different idea on how firm they want their mattress to be. Put a piece of plywood just under one half of the bed. DON'T be talked into believing that you need to buy a mattress and the matching box spring. A box spring is not always necessary, especially with modern platform bed. DO consider a new mattress if you have allergies. At least consider a mattress protector. DON'T assume all latex mattresses are created alike. Danny's new Natural Care line from Simmons is made from a thick core of natural rubber tree-based latex and soy-enhanced base foam. The holes make it breathable so it doesn't get hot, a complaint with many other latex mattresses.

New order total reflects discount. What are the best offers at Macy's? Macy's offers discounts on clothing, furniture, handbags, kitchen appliances and cookware, mattresses, jewelry and more.
Hands down, the best Macy's coupons you'll find for these items are their $10 off $25 printable coupons or sometimes even a $20 off $50 discount. These offers are usually only available for part of the day because they're considered exceptionally good, but lately Macy's has been offering it all day long. Their most common top deal is their 20% off coupon code or in-store coupon. The best offer for Macy's that we've seen are their occasional pop-up flash sales. These sales last only a few hours and are always announced the day they are live, but it's the only time Macy's releases a 50% off coupon code. Macy's sends an email notification regarding these sales and you can sign up for alerts here. You can shop their clearance deals every day and save up to 80%, however at least once every month, Macy's takes an extra 25% off online clearance on the weekend. This is usually during their somewhat frequent one-day sales with limited time specials, coupons, and other offers. Online or Macy's Stores.
Is there a difference? It may seem like Macy's is the same online as the store, but it's actually not the case. Here are a few reasons why. More Selection - Macy's has online-exclusive deals on popular brands which means you can shop from a whole inventory of items that can't be found in stores. On the other hand, you may find clearance items that are unique to your Macy's location. Same Promotion, Different Deals - Macy's will often release a site wide coupon that applies to everything online, but the same coupon will only work on sale items in stores. Make sure you read the promo terms on your printable coupon to verify this before you shop in stores.- Macy's offers free shipping on your order of $99 or more, which can be a steep threshold depending on what you're ordering. They do offer free in-store pickup on any purchase unlike some department stores - the only catch is that the item must be in stock at your nearby Macy's to qualify. Compare to Kohl's which does not offer in-store pickup at all and JCPenney which charges for in-store pickup on orders under $25.
