that sucks! hope you're able to get a new mattress soon!

Already replaced the mattress with a $600 one that is not as good as the Denver Mattress but at least it doesn't smell of cigs.

No, No, I'd try to recover some of my money by reselling it

It's out there in the garage right now. We're thinking to put it up for sale disclosing the cig smell and hoping someone takes it off our hands.

I have never tried this, but I subscribe to a mailing list which features home cleaning tips where this comes highly recommended, even for smoke....

Regarding the poll, I would never buy a used mattress - just the thought of other people's oils and ####### all over the thing....*shudder*

I guess I've been a college student too long. We buy and sleep on used mattresses, couches, floors, sleeping bags, blow up beds. To me buying a lightly used quality mattress is like sleeping on a mattress at a hotel when you travel. If that is so gross and nasty what do you all do when you travel or stay at a friend or families house?

I've been to college too. I never purchases a used mattress.

As for hotels - yes, you're right. Those aren't brand new either. But I'm not in hotels every day, or even close to it. And besides, those used mattresses don't end up in my house.

Friends and family - if they're the kind of people who's homes I'm willing to stay in, chances are very good I trust their sense of cleanliness.

Good ol CL strikes again! If it is not some pervert selling VHS Gay Porn tapes out of his apartment, then there are felons lurking to take you for anything they can. I do feel for the OP in getting taken. But like buying a used tooth brush, I have NEVER heard of anyone buying a USED mattress. I mean, you have NO idea, where that mattress has been, or what hanky panky spanky has taken place on it. OP, time to cut your losses now, and go out and buy yourself a NICE new mattress. Too many people skimp on their mattress. Imagine, and place that you spend one-third your life, and you dont want it to be the most comfortable and restorative it can be. Peace be with you.

You have now. VJ is full of weirdos.
I suspect Hopp has never even been within a block of a thrift-store. There you can find used:
  • furniture (such as desks, chairs--and also beds/bedding)
  • appliances/utensils
  • clothing (including---undergarments)

(the ones i bolded, IMO, should have been tossed--but the fact that thrift-stores will sell them implies there are buyers for such, majority probably NOT on VJ).

That's sick. Sounds like the kind of place sick weirdos like to shop.

A mattress is one thing I would never buy used. Never ever ever.

I did lay down once on a hotel mattress only to discover it was soaked with urine. :blink:

Definitely agree with the first point.

second point, :blink:

Seriously? I would be getting some serious comps from that hotel chain...for years to come.....
