Last year's closeouts may be your best opportunities. Fur cryin out loud.... Have your wife sew a large bag out of canvas. Stuff it full of straw. About 2 bales are needed. Tie it shut, and put it on your bed to enjoy! Total cost is about $25. The biggest cost is the canvas. This should last you many years. If the straw breaks down, just replace it. It only costs about $2 a bale. |

It only costs about $2 a bale. We bought one of Costco's memory foam mattresses ~8 years ago. Lovely mattress. In addition, it's fun watching it expand when you take it out of its package. One problem, though -- no handles to move it around, so if you need to rotate it or turn it or move it I suspect that running some ropes underneath it (possibly by attaching them to a long stick) may be the only way to do it. -- Cheers, Bev ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmph. I used to have snow tires. Never again. They melted in the spring. I won't even start going on about my wood stove. -- websurf1 |

It looked like one of those old fashioned feather pillows, with the grey and white stripes. A couple of times a year she'd empty it and let the cover air in the sun- that's back when only dirty people got bed bugs. I thought that was the best bed ever! Huge! And she had a down feather quilt. And feather pillows. Have we really advanced? |
