We sell all the top brands. I wish we carried Kings Down, as I love their products, but they are a bit of a problem brand. What we have is really well groomed to have no issues. I will spend some time on the new "choice" from tempur today, right in the middle, and give you my thoughts. I hope I sell so much I don't have much time on it, but I suspect it may be slow since yesterday was bonkers.

Long term you would. Since we are all friends to a degree I will say it. Sleep number blows. They are unsupportive and have some many long term problems that they don't cover it is insane. I don't talk bad about them in my shop, but I wouldn't want a friend to buy one. Tempur just came out with a mattress with the adjustable sides like sleep number. I think it is a bit embarrassing that they did that. Personally it is tough for me to love, so I spent a day on it, and what I can say is that it's construction is a million times better than the other guys and they don't have that hard bar down the middle that you hate. It also has real tempur material. It is different than other viscoelastic/memory foams. For what ever reason no other company uses anything that comes close in feel.

I know of 2 people who bought sleep numbers, and both returned them. When I got sick I was bed ridden for months, and we bought a TempurPedic. I can't sleep on a traditional mattress anymore. Tempurpedic is probably the most loved of everything we sell. They do a fantastic job. The massively feeble and elderly sometimes have problems because they cradle you so well. It makes it harder to get out of for them. That is really about the only problem. The other advantage is they can be put on an adjustable base better than any other brand. For some people the adjustable base is more important than the top mattress. People with sleep apnea, poor circulation, diabetes, RLS, acid reflux, spine/neck fusions or compressions or any problem really. I would rather get them into an adjustable base and then find a mattress. Tempur makes the most sense though.

Sorry to turn the HOP into a textile and bed sheet discussion board. I have just got a bunch of questions about the bamboo lately at work. Now I can say they are at least good enough for my buddy Nem. I usually just say 350 minimum pima, supima, or Egyptian. If they are fancy fuckers then higher thread count and double check that if it says Egyptian it is ELS Egyptian and not what usually ships out.

Linen bro....linen. :-) Made from god for the sweatiest of bros.

I'd say they are pulling heads or the engine. It takes longer to yank the cab than it does for me to do a plug and coil change on one of these... It is typically and hour and a half job. Fuck that. I sleep on flannel sheets all year round. I hate the feeling of most sheets. Cotton? Flannel is usually just a sturdy weave that gets napped to make it softer. Sometimes napped twice. It does make it super soft.

Crazy shit. It is basically rayon, from my understanding. Cellulose turned into thread then woven. Not saying they are not awesome, just a new trend I haven't heard about. I have always liked extra long staple cotton or linen.

800 thread count is pretty lux.

Best feeling sheets to most people are sateen. Basically cotton that took a lye bath then neutralized with a quick acid dip. Makes it more awesomer. Mercurizing or some shit.

Rubbing your face in the sheets eh? Tell him not to be so rough. LoL

No way, spend way too much energy and $$ ironing.I have had some that don't need any ironing. It just depends on how they make the fabric.I've taken a shit that didn't stinkThe wrinkle factor of linen is over hyped when discussing sheet linen. Maybe I don't care about wrinkles as much. It also has to do with how long it sits and how dry you dry it. You know about laundry you know this man.

I do also know way too much about textiles in general. I can't hang with people in the industry but I know enough to pass for a fashion designer to those not informed.

are you gay?Just the one time on the boat when you tricked me with the cloudy wine coolers. Seriously, people ask me this shit. More so now that tempurpedic pushes some "bamboo" sheets as awesome.

Linen is be far the most eco friendly, and still available.

Does it come with panda meat? LoL that would be awesome. The whole bamboo thing is weird, because I understand bamboo to be rayon when a fabric. Maybe not all bamboo fabric is rayon. It's just some buzz is my guess. Puma cotton or really nice linen is great, but this whole bamboo thing is weird.

Any of you guys try bamboo sheets or towels before?

I wish I had that for when I changed mine!!!

Looks like a lunch buffet Teo.

Thank you. I did mean the sealant. Just didn't know the right word.

Tons less water last night. That is with the whole seam unprotected from water at all. I'm going to slope the corner with some more mortar when it all dried up outside and then use a waterproof pain to seal around the foundation and at the edge of the driveway.

Well........ It didn't happen for 2 years until the silicone started to warp. It will get tested tonight... A couple inches in a few min with 50mph winds..... I am stuck in a parking lot as it hit while I was driving to the bank.
