Buy a Sleep Number bed at the Q, or any place online. That is a huge amount of money to me, and I would expect it to be set up also.

Buy a large screen TV from the Q. They used to have some great sounding deals, but wonder how they turned out?

Who's next?

We have had a sleep number for twenty years.  You can't beat the comfort (and it indirectly affects your health), it doesn't have to be turned like conventional mattresses nor replaced from sweat, ect.  Your choice is actually more expensive in the long run.

I would Never say Never!  I have and it didn't work out so well when I had to eat my words.  LOL  Hi @Mama Mia. 

I prefer to "check" out a bed before I purchase and I prefer to catch sales on big purchases, but some people don't have the option to do so.  That's why the Q and other places allow you to purchase on line.  Never know what "helps" some.

Hey Preds, long time no see. Of course you are right and those words don't taste so good!! How do I get this dark print off?????

...say 'never'.

Or always. As soon as I say those words, something happens that turns me into a liar.

Do you believe that the mattress you lie down on in the store is the one they ship to your home?

Do you have any idea how long it has been sitting there and how many people have been on it?

What's the difference?  What is delivered is "pot luck"!

I agree; I buy a lot of tbings from QVC.  A lot.  But I draw the line at tv's, mattresses, beds. I don't buy those things often, so going out to shop for them is not a problem and they are very expensive and it must be a nightmare if you want to return them.  There are certain things in life that I just have too see before I buy.

She didn't say she wouldn't want a Sleep Number bed, she said she wouldn't buy one *online and/or from QVC.*

I wouldn't buy beds or other furniture from QVC. There are some things that I want to try out first hand without blindly buying what some salesperson is trying to push. Lol, I 've slept on Sleep Number beds elsewhere before and prefer my regular bed at home.

The main reason I wouldn't purchase anything large or heavy online from anyone is because of possible return issues. Who is so good at re-packing (never mind the PIT* it is to do at all) that they get everything properly back in the box so it closes? And then have to schlep it somewhere to send back - heavy, awkward...no way! A mattress, never, but a TV maybe - except for the return issue if it arrived malfunctioning, screen cracked, etc. for that reason alone, no.
