As Jeff mentioned on his blog, it became very apparent that our bed was causing some of my neck discomfort which contributes to my vertigo problems. We received a flier in the mail from Levin furniture for a sale and decided to check it out. After an hour or so, we walked out the proud new owners of a Stearns & Foster mattress set plus some extras. These extras were part of the sale - 2 luxury pillows, $500 worth of free groceries, and a free 19" HDTV.

They presented us with the pillows on the spot, but they were down feathers and since I'm allergic we're waiting for the latex ones to come in. The "free" groceries are a bit more complicated and if I weren't taking care of this, I'm sure Jeff would have abandoned the endeavor within the first 2 minutes. You have to enroll in the program online, keep track of your receipts from month to month and send them in with an online voucher each month in order to get a $25 gift card to the grocery store of your choice. You have to spend $100 each month at the store in order to receive the gift card. So, for $500 - I'll be mailing in receipts for the next year and then some. We'll see if I keep up with it. The last freebie was the TV. Actually we can buy anything we want with the gift card that they'll send for BestBuy. I'm sure we'll find a use for that.

We don't take delivery of the new mattress set until July 7th. Can't wait to go to bed that night!!!
