I'm curious about his heuristic- did you think you'd like it before you took it home?

(For anyone trying to aggregate opinions, I have the exact same mattress and enjoy it.)

Yes; I tried it in the store several times before buying it. Why would I spend $3000 on a bed if I didn't think I'd like it?

I now have a spring mattress that I bought at a garage sale for $10, including delivery. I like it better.

It could have been someone else's purchasing decision, or you were reluctant until you laid down on it. I was pretty sure the answer would be yes but wanted to check.

Two people commenting on LessWrong both own a Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme, queen size!? Is that a very common model in the (I assume) US?
