Not sure who was making this one? Thanks to Goddess for doing the last couple.

    Mattress salespeople are absolutely insane.

    Kept feeling like I was a hot chip surrounded by seagulls.

    I’m amazed we made it out of Nunawading alive

        We’re really just dipping our toes in the water to see what we like.

        If they’d been a bit more chill we would have stuck around and bought something.

        But each area felt too staked out. We had 6 different salespeople try to get us at Snooze.

        Massive turnoff. Just wanted to get out.

          Ick. That’s a large part of why I ended up with a mattress-in-a-box instead, I really didn’t want to deal with all that. And I’ve been pretty happy with it - plus they are sending me a new mattress topper which the Koala matresess all come with now (but didn’t when I bought mine) so it might even get better when that arrives!

            I’ve tried floating the idea to Mr Smeg before but he’s very insistent on try before buy.

            So I feel there will be more pushy salespeople to deal with in my immediate future.

            Might try the FTG store next time

              I liked that you could try out the mattresses and return them if you didn’t like them for a full refund - most allowed around three months. Just lying on them in store isn’t the same as actually sleeping on them for a full night. I figured worst case scenario I didn’t like any of them and just bought myself some time to make a final decision. But I was happy with the first one.

                I love the concept but Mr Smeg is a NO person by default.

                For the same reason I wasn’t able to convince him on certain couches only available online that were the perfect fit for our tiny loungeroom.

                If it’s not in a physical store it doesn’t exist to him.

      You should have laid down on the mattress and when they ask “Can I help you with anything?” you reply “A cup of tea would be great thanks”.
