OK, so I just bought a house last week. On moving day, the movers go to take my queen sized box spring up the stairs of my bungalow home, and bam... long story short, it wasn't going to go. This being stressor number 9,999,991 in the home buying process, I just shook my head and stared blankly. The movers suggested that I either chainsaw my box spring in half (for real) or go get a split queen. Even though we've been basically hemorrhaging money during this whole process, we opted to save the chainsaw for another day, and get a new box spring.
We just got in the car and drove up Woodward, figuring we weren't going to have any luck, since split queens aren't too common.
We took a chance and pulled into Mattresses and Beyond. The sales lady, Robin, is very friendly and greeted us right away. I asked her if she happened to have any split queens and she asked "did you just buy a bungalow" when I just laughed and nodded, she asked "Berkley, or Royal Oak?".
I knew that I was in good hands.
Since this is a common problem in the area, Robin told us that they always keep one or two on hand. Excellent. She also told us that she could have it delivered in less than an hour. Amazing (since we'd spend the following days waiting for cable men, plumbers, and various delivery men with windows spanning from 4-6 hours).
Not only were they there with the box spring in under an hour, they were courteous and polite.
Just when my fiance and I were talking about how lucky we were to find the box spring and have it delivered on our first try and within an hour, there was a knock on the door. The delivery men came back to take the mattress up the stairs for us! SO NICE! The mattress still has another year or two left in it, but when it's time for a new one, I wouldn't even consider looking anywhere else, and I wouldn't recommend you do either!
Oh, and a sidenote. They don't take back old beds because they don't want to contaminate new beds being delivered with bedbugs from old beds. That made me feel very, very good. read more
