Ok I dropped the air bed thing and now looking at getting a Simmons Backcare bed. Don't exactly know the brand name, egt in to that, but it has a pillow top and is around $1300 for the complete set up.

Ok, on the name. As I have found out, I guess the bed manufacturers have the market cornered as well when it comes to distribution. So I went to one local place, found the bed got the price. The next day I spent like a half day trying to get a better deal. The rest of the stores in my area either they didn't care Simmons or if they did then they only carried part of the line or they had things that looked similar but labeled differently or similar but different material. So basically I found it impossible to find the exact same bed in a totally different store. That way there they never have to do the we will match thing and if someone put the product on sale they don't have to. They also can keep the prices as high as possible.

Damn dirty bastards!

You can't even check on line because you don't know what the name of the mattress is that you tried in the store to match to the online versions.

When I did find something that I thought was close to what I tried, the difference in price was not worth the online hassle, usually only a hundred or two.

So needless to say, later this week I'll probably go ahead and order the Simmons Backcare pillow top from the local place I tried it.

Any way to get a better deal fromthe store?
