Ruby plush

We went on a gut feel and decided to go buy the mattress after all. We do not know much about mattresses in the first place, but I do not think for one second that we walked away with a bad deal. I talked to my mom (and a couple of other friends) about it, and my mom did agree that the deal was rather good, the fact that it came packaged like that.

So, right after service today, we went down to Harvey Norman to look see the mattresses and compare for ourselves the sort of mattresses we went. May, long ago, suggested the Sealy Posturepedic mattress, she claims superior comfort and excellent back support on this brand. Harvey Norman is packaging the deal with a bedframe which, in our opinion, would probably cost just as much as the mattress for a good one. So it was 40% off the listed price and an additional 10% off on top of that for early delivery. For some reason, the sales person who served us was very nice to suggest that we should arrange for an "early" delivery so as to make use of the additional 10% discount. He even gave us the assurance that he will help us push the date back as long as we needed to. God's favor? I would like to think so.

Nonetheless. The whole deal came to a little over 2 grand for the mid-range Sealy Posturepedic (of 5 levels of plushness) mattress named Ruby which includes a headboard bedframe in the color of our choice, which is black, for the sake of easy matching with other furniture and stuff. We put down a little over 200 bucks as a deposit. The rest, we pay as when as we like before or on delivery. Oh yes, this might be totally irrelevent, he gave us a plush toy sheep with the number 91 on it. How cute. :) Psalms 91 perhaps?

Email from Kevin regarding the sheep:

Hey love,

I was told that you know the sheep that they gave us? They used it in commercials and apparently those commercials were made by the same people who gave you Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run :) No wonder the bulgy eyes looked familiar. :)

Just to add, it's a Serta Sheep, nothing to do with Sealy at all. Sales guy was just being nice, and thought that he got us a nice number as he stirred around the bag full of sheep for this particular one.
