Denver Mattress LOOOOO
recycled mattresses for the win!!!
that's not a mattress disaster...try drinking 24 beers and then passing out on your girlfriends bed...
There was an investigation once here in S.A about mattress stores selling used mattresses and selling them as new. The news channel bought a few or something like that and then would open them up and look inside the mattress and notice all kinds of stuff like bed bugs, trash, hair, and etc.
No crap! We had something similiar happen here in Baltimore as well. The local news channel tried to talk to the Mattress store's owner and of course he declined.
:vomit
What store did you by it from?
Refurbishing old mattresses is a very common practice. I think it was 60 Minutes that did a piece on it a few years back. It's perfectly legal and supposedly every manufacturer does it. They said about the only thing you can do is ask them if you are buying a new or refurbished mattress and by law they have to tell you. Pretty gross.
Serves you right for being a lakers fan.
Maybe next time you'll choose your team more wisely.
The problem with this, of course is that a retailer may be told by the manufacturer/dealer that they are new when in fact they are refurbed. So they may think they are actually telling you the truth when in fact they are not. Or they could be flat-out lying and just trying to point fingers. It is really easy to pass the buck in retail.
This boggles the mind if true.
Best Buy sells you a refurb TV or PC but only has to tell you if you ask?
Car dealer sells you a refurb car but only has to tell you if you ask?
etc
dunno why the rules would be different for matresses ...
I didn't mean they only have to tell you if you ask. I meant that's about the only thing you can do to protect yourself from it.
I did not see that newscast until after I bought my mattresses. I have not had any problems though. Thank God.
One time (in band camp) I stayed at a Holiday Inn near Minute Maid Park in Houston. Well, we checked in in the early afternoon and just laid are bags down and went to go get something to eat. We came back and got ready to go see the game. We came back and fell asleep. We woke up the next morning and saw all these bed bugs at the foot of the bed. We jumped out of that bed really quick and showered. We headed down to the front desk and complained and didn't pay jack for that night. That was gross.
You can sue!
Employee sues Fox News over 'bedbugs'
Posted Fri May 30, 2008 8:06am AEST
A Fox News employee who says she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after being bitten by bedbugs at work filed a lawsuit against the owner of the Manhattan office tower where she worked.
Jane Clark, 37, a 12-year veteran of Fox News, a unit of News Corp, said she complained to human resources after being bitten three times between October 2007 and April 2008. She said she was ridiculed and the office was not treated for months.
Beacon Capital Partners, which owns the tower in midtown Manhattan, said in a statement that it had not been made aware of the problem and that it was the responsibility of tenants to manage infestations.
"As a prudent step, we are bringing in outside, independent experts to review the situation," the statement said.
The suit did not say how much Ms Clark was seeking in damages.
Ms Clark, who says she has been diagnosed with PTSD and can no longer work, has filed a separate workers compensation claim with News Corp, and the company is paying her medical bills and lost wages. A News Corp spokeswoman declined to comment because News Corp was not named in the lawsuit.
"They made a lot of mistakes," Ms Clark said through tears at a news conference at the office of her lawyer, Alan Schnurman, who said he has brought numerous bedbug cases.
"I didn't want my baby to get bitten. I was terrified of bringing it home," Ms Clark said.
She said she believed a colleague who used her work station on weekends, and who no longer works for Fox News, brought the infestation to the office. Ms Clark's home was never infested.
Ms Clark says she suffers nightmares and keeps a flashlight at her bedside so she can check for bugs during the night.
"It's their obligation to the working public to provide a safe environment," Mr Schnurman said.
@ the band camp part. I haven't heard that one in awhile. I assume you have the American Pie movie collection?
About to buy a new mattress…I had no idea refurbished mattresses existed. Glad I saw this thead.
Oh, and by the way... These matress disasters only happen to non-Spurs Fans.
I'm not sure if this is the news story I saw, but take a look at this; it's scary

So basically, he bought his bed and now ought to lie in it?
Good one.
What's hilarious is there are bugs living not on in your mattress, but your clothes, socks and undies.
They are called microbugs. And when you say the magic word they transform from bugs to ceiling fans.
That makes my skin crawl.
Speaking of bed bugs, have any of you guys seen that show Verminators? That's horrendous.
YES!!!! Oh no, the one where the baby's crib was infested!! OMG that was soooo bad!That makes my skin crawl.
