The property is being sold to D Noblin Furniture. So Gluckstadt loses a garden store & gets a furniture store. Downgrade in my opinion.
OT update on Calloway Garden Center closing.

Yes. It's owned by Danny Gray. His middle name is Noblin. Danny is a good guy. His son's own the local Mattress Firm.
He owns a furniture store right across Airport Road from the Miskelly superstore in Purl. Danny seems like a good from the little time I've spend around him,
Never buy a mattress at any of these mattress warehouses or any furniture store that isn’t an authorized dealer for whatever brand you are buying. Trust me on this one.
Lot of shady stuff goes on in the cheap mattress business. Buy from a reputable dealer.
I only buy my mattresses used from the University Inn.
I don't like it but I think it may work . I have a hunch his basic plan is to become a "Miskelly's North" covering a wide variety of budget$ with a big inventory and constant "sales" taking place .
Man... so now I want to hear about all the corruption in the mattress industry! Somebody spill the tea....
I don't think there's any doubt it will work. Huge market up there and with so many houses still going up they need furniture. I'm sure they will do well. I'm kind of surprised Miskelly didn't jump on that.
I went to school with the older son through eighth grade at Hillcrest, I told him as long as they stock Ferti-lome products at the new store we won't have a problem.
What do you think happens when a furniture company delivers your new mattress and picks up your old one for free? What do you think happens when a hotel chain buys “ new” mattresses? There are factories in NE Ms right now that cut the covers off old mattresses and put new covers on them and repackage them for retail sale. New covers with name brand tags. It’s illegal but unenforceable. The police don’t care. If legit manufactures get lawyers involved then the factory closes in this town and reopens in another town under a different name. It’s unethical but highly profitable.
Memory foam mattresses. The original memory foam mattresses were 80%-95% latex foam with small amounts of polyurethane added for rigidity and structure . Latex foam is naturally occurring from tree sap. It’s extremely heavy and extremely expensive. A real latex mattress will weight 300-500 pounds and cost upwards of $5000-$10000. Regular furniture foam is polyurethane foam. Here’s where it gets sketchy. There is no regulation for how much latex has to be in a mattress to be called “ Memory Foam” so a foam manufacturer can use 25% latex and 75% polyurethane and still call it memory foam mattress The only way to determine is to check the label and see the % of latex. It’s a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Netflix should produce a show called.. "Lying in Verona: Kings of the Mississippi Mattress"
Im in the market for a new mattress currently....not a rush....who should i buy from and what brand should i be looking for?
Every bed we own has a Sleep Number mattress on it. One of which is over 25 years old. If a mattress is cheap you can bet it’s cheap. Being extremely expensive doesn’t always translate to quality but the odds are in your favor.
I’ve had a purple mattress for several years. I really like it a lot. I will say though, I’m not super picky. I don’t have any back problems or anything like that. So, no idea if it’s good for people that have back problems or need a super firm mattress.
But on a serious note:
I finally broke down and bought the best tempurpedic mattress last year. should’ve done it years ago.
Same here about 4 years ago. Paid $3,000 for a TempurePedic hybrid mattress with box springs and pillows. Could have easily paid half as much or twice as much. But very happy with this mattress.
One thing I'll never do again is buy a mattress that you need a dam forklift to handle . The one we have now (Stearns and Foster I think) is ridiculously heavy and not that great.
Wait til yall learn about the dark side of waterbeds**
That is what my wife and I currently have....but i bought it in 2008....it's been a good ride, but it is getting close to time for a new one....may go that route again.
If they don't put a merry go round in the lobby ill never stop by and eat their popcorn or hot dogs while I test mattresses to price compare online later!
I got a nectar medium firmness. It’s the right soft/firmness level for side sleeping. A few years and I still like it.
Kids today will never know the feeling of waking up in a waterbed that the heater went out about midnight.
