Costco's Bed Memory Foam: A dream come true?


Here's the deal. A couple of months ago my sweetie and I stayed at a cool apartment down by the beach. It had a bed that can only be described as velvet chocolate. Yeah. I mean, you can melt away there. Honestly. We had the best sleep of our lives there. We came back rested and feeling wonderful. Yes, the nice view helped, the sound of the ocean sure was nice... but that bed, oh... that bed.

Anyway, we came back talking about buying an expensive bed. Should we or shouldn't we? Damn. A good bed costs a shitload. Should we buy it before we decide on what house to move? Should we save up and leave the new bed for the new house? Suddenly a pseudo easy decision on buying a bed becomes an adventure.

Cut to one wonderful weekend. We're at Costco. The place that makes Walgreens look like it has a smaller penis. If you buy unnecessary shit there, imagine what you do at Costco. I have bought myself a iRobot to mop the house, for God's sake. So we're talking and shopping for things we definitively don't need and suddenly we come up to one strange memory foam.

"It does wonders for your sleep!", it claims. Price tag? Around 150 bucks. Hm. This can make do until we move and get a bigger house...

DUDES AND DUDETTES OUT THERE. Drive to Costco. GET THAT SHIT NOW. It's like good imitation velvet chocolate. Not the real thing, but damn close. For a reasonable amount of money you can "pretend" that you have a $1,000 bed!

This shit can make you go fast asleep than any other sleeping pill. I for one woke up hundreds of times during the night and since I got this amazing piece of... foam? I am sleeping hard core. Dreams every night hard core. REM hard core. I bet that someone can shoot someone right next to me while I'm fast asleep and I won't even notice.

So there, if you are longing for an expensive bed but you'd rather spend it traveling or doing something else... Costco is the place to go.

Sweet Dreams! Me.

Costco is my drug of choice.
And yes, we bought that memory foam last year and it holds up pretty well... Even our little girl has one, and the pillow version, too...

A friend of mine works at Costco and has every Costco gadget imaginable. They love their memory-foam bed--except they went into overkill and got about 3 layers of the stuff. She said it was like sinking into a marshmallow. SOunds nice but hard to crawl out of.

Three layers sounds EPIC!

Most memory foam beds are actually the same thickness of memory foam as a standard topper, with a base of standard foam. Because of this, if you still have a structurally sound and firm mattress, you're often better off just getting a 3 or 4 inch topper. Too much memory foam, like one of the other comments said, means you start to sink in deeper than is comfortable.
