Mattress on Layaway


As I posted a few weeks ago, I looked at the Sleep Number bed. However, I find that particular bed to expensive for my budget. So with that in mind, I went to Hometown Mattress Company here in Topeka (also located in 2 other Kansas towns --- Clay Center and Paola).

The store had just opened up in the same shopping center that I work in and I thought, I would see what they have. Upon entering the store, I looked at the memory foam mattress. It, like the sleep number bed, was about $900. Again to expensive for my budget. So I moved towards the nearly $400 foam encased mattress and then looked at the cheapest hotel/motel style mattress. The cheapest one, while fitting best in my budget was also the most uncomfortable.

I left, to go to work and think about the possible purchase. Later, during my lunch hour, I returned and put $100 down, to place the foam encased mattress on layaway. It is my hope to have a real bed by the end of February, so that I will no longer have to sleep on a futon and in my sleeping bag.
Though, I am not "America's Cheapest Family," perhaps I might be considered America's Cheapest Dude.

  1. So did you comparison shop when making the decision on this store? I'm just curious. I'll actually be moving to Topeka in June and am looking for good places to get a deal. I've really enjoyed reading your blog these past couple days. :)

  2. yes, I had checked a few places. In no way did I check every place, but a few.
    I think it is great that you are moving here to Topeka. I am also expecting a friend to move here in June. if things work out, I will be asking her to marry me shortly there after.
