I wash mine alone, that seems to help. My first set got very pilly, but they were washed with other stuff (I think including towels).

You are correct. But she was taking oxycodone w/ APAP, which means "with acetaminophen." My bad for being lazy on the typing to save time.

The two drugs are both generic Percocet. One worked; the other didn't.

I have to comment on this!!!!!

Me and my wife bought a $1250 Sealy pillow top bed and it is basically ruining my life. I awake with my back hurting, I can't lay on my stomach or my side or my back if I use a pillow (I have to sleep without a pillow a lot of times), and it doesn't offer any sort of support when you lay on it. The problem is that it's so squishy that my neck is at an extreme angle when laying on a pillow. The sales guy told us that Sealy didn't make non-pillow tops anymore so we bought it without wanting a pillow-top because my wife's old Sealy has lasted like 15 years with no aging at all. Biiiig mistake. $1250 mistake actually. Pillow top is terrible!!!! Even if you have a firm mattress, the pillow top ruins it and makes you feel like...well, like you're sleeping on pillows.

I know this is completely subjective but damn I am so miserable with this bed. We don't want to throw away a $1250 mattress but I don't know what else to do. Some people like firm mattresses, some people like softies. I'm a firm mattress type of person and I didn't realize it until now. :(

I will also never buy another pillow top mattress - ever. The pillow top part of it wears out and depressions form within a year or so, and it is never included in the mattress's warranty.

If you wear boxer briefs, Under Armor are great for support, and 2(x)ist is great for showing off your package (it's basically marketed toward gay men, but nothing says us straight guys shouldn't be able to show off.)

I'm definitely not a pillow-top fan. lurkette has us buy the softest, squishiest thing we could find, and so we did, but we both wake up hurting now. Stella, by contrast, has a very firm bed, and whoever sleeps on it wakes up feeling great. Sometimes when lurkette's back is hurting her (a chronic thing that flares up occasionally), she'll send Stella to sleep with me, and spend a few nights in Stella's bed. Does wonders.

I'll never buy a mattress for softness again.

The best thing to do for a mattress, if you like the pillow top concept, is to buy a regular mattress, and cover it with a memory foam topper. It should fit under the mattress pad or fitted sheet; they come in thicknesses of 1"- 4". Same effect; except when the topper wears out in 3-5 years, you don't have to buy a whole new mattress - just buy another topper. They're all over ebaY.

We bought a Sleep Number bed, and the only difference between the one we bought and the next higher model (another $1000) was a 3" memory foam topper. We bought one on ebaY for $125.
ps - great beds, but the remotes don't last long. Both our LED readouts don't work. Luckily for me, I like it at 100 anyway, so I just keep hitting the + button till it stops.

:lol:

Boy, am I glad we didn't buy a soft mattress. We got a GREAT deal on a Simmons Beautyrest (a must because my guy is an incredibly restless sleeper) that had been a floor model at a furniture store that went out of business. It is incredibly firm, but because of the pocketed coils, it supports your body quite nicely like a softer mattress would.

I love that bed. Even if we had paid full price...I still woulda bought it!

^^ You people are weirdos! All of you!! My mother would have us all sleep on the floor had it been all up to her.

Put me in for the softest mattress possible. Now that I switched beds, sleeping on a queen is not very appealing.
