Sorry about the typo. The mattress cost $1,400, not 14,000. I had talked to all the local mattress dealers, but the product price at ShopNBC was about 500 bucks cheaper than anywhere around here for the same product. I would not have benefited by spending the extra bucks to receive this Serta product since it is Serta that is ripping me off.

Another example of that shop at home crap that they're trumping on TV. With our aging population, everyone is coming up with a new "miracle" mattress. Lyndsey Wagner touting the number mattress? "Shipping is free". It isn't free, they just add it to the already inflated cost of their mattress. "This set would not be constructed until I purchased it". They have hundreds sitting around in seta's warehouse already made, they just dropship for shopnbc. It's not cost effective to make one mattress at a time. "Could divide the cost into 4 easy payments". Most or all mattress/furniture stores offer 12 to 18 month no interest payments. "...this company would donate a portion of the profits...". While a noble gesture, for the inflated price of their inferior mattress, them donating a couple of dollars , to get your business, is a pretty big scam. You would have been better served to buy a mattress locally, where you and your husband could have "tested" it for 30 days and donated the money directly to the foundation of your choice. They still print that "under penalty of law" disclaimer on pillows and mattresses. I wish you and your husband the best of luck.

You don't expect us to believe that you spent 14K for mattress, do you? The 'tag' on the mattress specifically states that it cannot be removed by the store, only by the purchaser. File a small claims case against them, since I believe you meant to say $1400.00. If indeed this mattress costs 14K, then you can afford a lawyer!
