I enjoyed your review but this heading mattress glossaries is not the place for this review.
I am sorry to rate it OT but it is a review of your experience buying a mattress from a certain store. If you update to product a review on mattress glossaries then please send the url and I will be glad to read/rate again.

Now thats funny (Reply to this comment)
by eh2zed
I myself am a manager of a major furniture chain and when I read your ordeal I laughed at its wittiness but also because I knew exactly what was happening. It doesnt happen very often but occasionally it happens where a sale just does not want to go right. Your situation seemed to be one of those times. Unfortunately for Seamans it happened to someone with an apparent working knowledge of HTML. I hope in 10-15 when you buy your next bed it will go much smoother.

Sir,
I was talking about a different kind of homophone for 'Seamen,'--you know, seemin', as in this evasiveness of ours is seemin' pretty silly. Thanks for your kind words.

What will we do without the water? Good question. For one thing, we wake up without our backs being sore . . .
Thanks for the comment.

Too bad you didn't get that reinforcement crossbar. Whatever will you and the Mrs do now you don't have the solid feeling of water beneath you?

Re: I+used+to+wonder (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
As committed as I am to the shameless plugging of anything (for any reason), I have to confess that your information is of little avail to me. If you think I'm cancelling my order at this point in the hope of having my money returned to me, you've got a heck of a different thing coming.
O frabjous day, calloo, Calais!

I used to wonder (Reply to this comment)
by kboo
how you could be so prolific here at Epinions. Now I know it's because you didn't have a bed to sleep in!
Sorry for your pain.
Shameless plug:
We bought our king size bed from
Maple Corner Woodworks

no worries, no delays...

Re: It+IS+a+conspiracy! (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
Something tells me you and I would get along just fine. I move toward threats like that automatically, but Mrs. Sloucho always tries to make things work with her charm. The things she gets companies to do for us with a single phone call are simply amazing. Anyway, if I make that threat, I'll be following through on it by myself. Thanks for the comment.

Re: ...+must+avoid+Seaman's+joke... (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
It took just about every reserve of fortitude I had in me to resist that joke, which tempted me at every turn. Thanks for the kind words, sir. Your generosity means ever so much more to me now that you have been validated by the epinions algorithm. Or maybe it's just coz you're a witty guy, who can say?

Incompetence? Or a sinister plot to undermine consumer confidence in an effort to pave the way for an anarchist revolution? You decide. But don't decide loudly; they may be listening.

Re: ..+You've+got+"Seaman's"+on+your+Headboard+.. (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
Sir,
Wizzbang ain't the half of it. Every time I found myself wondering what had become of you, I moseyed over to your profile page and invariably found myself involved in that nifty little Pong game you had so considerately set up for us. Glad to hear you're back, even if you didn't quite stick it to the man like he deserved.

by Sloucho
Iris,
Do I need to put a call in to social services? This is the second time that I can recall you referring to sleeping with your child as a threesome. What kind of shenanigans are going on in that seemingly innocent household of yours?
Glad to hear you're comfortable, even if the buyer's regret hasn't completely vanished. Thanks for stopping by.

Re: A+ticked+off+slouch? (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
Oddly, you've stumbled onto the one thing that bothers me even more than sleeping in an unfinished bed, which is WAKING to the sensation of a tick nesting on my body. Our dog can't help picking them up in our yard, and even though we inspect him nightly, a tick occasionally gets through.
The moral: A ticked off Sloucho is infinitely more agreeable than when a tick is on Sloucho.
Thanks for the comment.

Re: It's+not+just+Seamen's... (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
Thanks to the comments from you and Shalott, I know I am not alone. I don't know why delivery services 'do me like that' unless it is because they want me to keep thinking of a certain Tom Petty song. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

It IS a conspiracy! (Reply to this comment)
by Shalott
When I lived outside of Chicago, my husband and I had the same thing happen. I can't remember the name of the store, but it was a department store, not a bedding store.
Anyhow, after 2 months of putting us off, (and we were at that point sleeping on a hide-a-bed), I threatened to bring my sleeping bag and my husband and toddler and sleep on the beds they have set up on their sales floor. It worked.
Try it!

... must avoid Seaman's joke... (Reply to this comment)
by sundogg99
Besides, even if I yielded to temptation, I couldn't come up with anything as funny as you've already written here.
Another classic, Mike. Thanks for sharing. My condolences to Mrs S -- life has got to be weird for her, given her choice of domestic associates.

.. You've got "Seaman's" on your Headboard .. (Reply to this comment)
by Christoff
Yeah, i suppose i'm back. I was away on business mostly, but i also have some problems with Epinions. Due to the wizzbang HTML pong game i placed on my profile page, neither myself -or- Epinions is able to edit it. No changes. i.e no contribution.
But, alas, my plan that conscience objection could somehow rouse the Epinions programmers to action has fallen deftly.
I have to come back, your troubles always amuse me too much.

We bought a new king-sized bed... (Reply to this comment)
by theeye
last Sunday, from Sleepy's ("for the *rest* of your life"). It was delivered on Monday, an hour and a half after the 6 hour window they had given me expired, but once they arrived they had it in the apartment, in the room and set up remarkably quickly.
Haven't yet decided whether the buyer's regret that hit me as soon as we left the store was justified. Haven't yet come up with a really good hook to write an epinion on (though the etymology of the "Aireloom" name will certainly feature prominently).
I will say this: it's really nice to have a bed big enough to comfortably accomodate our now frequent threesomes. Me, hubby and the baby. What else did you think I meant?
Sleep tight. :-)

A ticked off slouch? (Reply to this comment)
by Suzer
Oops, sorry about what you've gone through.
I hope your nights are more restful now. I
am ambling over to ugetheard.com myself right
now to complain about the verizon wireless
hopelessly frustrating service (nope, no review
yet; too ticked off).
Great job. Sounds like Seaman's made their own
bed, so let them lie in it, so to speak.

It's not just Seamen's... (Reply to this comment)
by levda
I have a feeling that all bed delivery people are in cahoots to make our lives miserable. I had a very similar problem with the Bedding Experts in Chicago. I knew the phone number by heart and the store manager would answer the phone (ostensibly after looking at the caller ID) "Hi Dana, no the bed's not in yet". It's a vast conspiracy out to rob us of good sleep so that we won't be coherent enough to realize what's going on...
Just my theory,
Dana
