People spend a ton of money on mattresses, when, in reality, you can get a great mattress for much less. Consumer Reports has done an extensive report on mattresses. The magazine states that there is no perfect mattress out there for you. But you want to try out a mattress for at least 15 minutes before buying it. Clark bought a complete king mattress for about $500 and it’s turned out to be perfect. Just make sure you buy from a reputable dealer or warehouse club, which is where Clark buys his mattresses.
