Thanks!


Re: what brand/style mattress for full/twin bed?
We really like DS's mattress. We got it from PBK when we got his bedroom set but PBK mattresses are Serta.
When shopping for a twin sized mattress recently the sales person (who works on commission) told me to go LOW end for small child's mattress.
He explained that the lowest end mattress right now is about what a high end mattress was 10 years ago.
They're small and don't weigh much.
They don't put too much wear on a mattress so he recommended going cheap now and planning on replacing it in 10 - 12 years when he'll weigh enough and it will be old enough that it will matter and be time to get something better.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
DS will soon be outgrowing his toddler bed as well. When it's time, I'm going to get a twin from The Original Mattress Factory (their most basic kind). I like the "flip-able" mattresses and their box springs really have a "spring" to it unlike what's mostly out there now.
They had a mattress (two sided) and box spring for around $200. I just have to buy the frame. Can't beat that.
