We spend such a huge part of our lives sleeping on our beds, it's important that we get the best mattress possible, right? Sometimes it's a bit hard to afford an amazing mattress. Luckily I have compiled some tips for the terrifying task of finding a mattress on Craigslist. About a year ago I asked How Do I Make a Futon Work as a Bed? Hilariously enough, you all told me to never try and use a futon mattress over a regular mattress. Last year I purchased a dingy futon off of craigslist for $50 and struggled through back pain (hey, I'm only 23!) and sleepless nights.
I feel as though I may have to apologize to you, my trusty readers, for not listening to your advice. I'm always trying to save money and do things the cheapest possible way. I now know the importance of owning a great mattress, but what if I can't afford one? So, it's time to look to Craigslist again. I think everyone is a little wary of buying something like a mattress of of Craigslist. Might as well be purchasing someone's used tighty wighties right? Well, I've come up with a list of tips to make your Craigslist mattress search much easier! Look for honesty: You want to seek out the listings where the seller is completely honest. It's okay if they mention some minor wear on one of the corners. The best option is when they state how old the mattress is, what brand or manufacturer, or an explanation as to why they are purging. Look for personality: Find a seller that seems to give a little personality into their post. You want to interact with a seller that is going to be personable.
That way you can feel more comfortable asking questions and hopefully they'll be nice enough to give you answers! Quality of photographs: This one is super important. Look for the posts where the mattress is well photographed. Never go for a mattress where the image is clearly the stock photo taken off a mattress store website. Bonus points if the seller takes a photo of the minor damage or label of the mattress. Search "By Owner": If you select "By-owner" rather than "By-dealer" you won't get those cheap looking ads that almost always look like a scam. Yes, they are trying to sell you brand new mattresses, but usually from a warehouse or back alley. If you've had experience with the "by-dealer" option, let me know in the comments. I've always been curious to see if these mattresses are authentic. I would personally rather buy my mattress from a real person who can tell me the history of the mattress. Watch grammar: A lot of bots that post spam on Craigslist use weird grammar or throw in sentences that don't make sense.
Unfortunately, you may just be looking at an ad coming from someone with terrible grammar. Be wary of bed bugs: Check the mattress for tell-tale signs of bed bugs — small red or brown spots and other signs of the little critters. If you see even the slightest indication, run the other way!

Now they will not let me return it even though I didn't sleep on it. Would you exchange this for me ? Hi Franc, Thank you for the question! Need new foam for this pillow I've had mine since 09 I'm trying to replace the inside foam but I do not know where I can purchase it Hi, Thank you for the question! At this time we do not offer the foam inserts to be sold individually. We recommend replacing your Performance Pillow every 12-18 months. What is the loft height on this pillow? Hi KimC, Thanks for the question!
The Aspire Advanced Performance Side Sleeper Pillow is 7 inches in loft. Is there a break in period? Hi, Thanks for the question! Our Performance Pillows do not have a break in period. They are ready to use as soon as you get them. My pillow has a strange smell, smells like plastic and I just bought it few days ago from Brick so please help as to what I can do as I love the pillow but not the smell.Due to the nature of memory foam, some pillows can hold an odor. Please allow your pillow a few days to air out and the smell should dissipate. We would definitely recommend another 5-7 days for your pillow to air out. We would even suggest letting it air out outside! I am 5'10" 175, very average build. I bought the side and back sleeper. Both have profiles so high that I can't sleep on my side with either one. I don't think my head's particularly large. Is this a common complaint? Hi James, Thank you for the question! This not a common concern. Its sounds like you may need a lower profile Performance Pillow.
Like a 1.0, or if you like your pillows really flat, you may want to try the 0.0 profile, which is called a Pillow Pad. I have the pillow for a while and was wondering how to clean it.All of our pillows can be spot washed with a gentle soap. Our Performance Pillows cannot go into the washer because they can absorb a lot of water making it hard to dry. Moisture trapped in your pillow can create mildew, so it's healthiest to just "touch-up" the pillow as needed and to use a Dri-Tec pillow protector if you want to best protect your pillow investment and have a removable, washable cover. For the past 5 months I have been sleeping on a Temperpedic Breeze Adjustable bed and using a Aspire Side pillow and I LOVE BOTH. I want to get the firmest pillow. I am female 5'4", 225 lbs. Which of the many pillows that you carry would you recommend?Thank you for the question. We are all made differently and have diverse sleep profiles (Side, Back, and Stomach sleepers).
