    *I was in the verge of buying a new mattress because I was having so much shoulder **MyseIf.Furniture** lower back, and hip pain. I decided to buy this mattress topper thinking alright we will try it out and see if it works, but totally expected to be buying a new mattress when all was said and done cause I didn’t have much hope. Boy was I wrong! It’s been three weeks using it and I wake up pain free! I now enjoy going to bed knowing I’ll be getting a good night sleep and waking up pain free. It may be a bit pricey, but worth every penny! Highly recommend!*

    I can’t stop laughing. I don’t know why. I just find this so funny but so admirable as well. Many would just throw it. The companies know mailing it back or even bringing it back the store is a pain in the A. But this guy and his two buddies are gonna get their money back. Lol. Cheers!

    Thank you Ken and the team for putting up this valuable information. This made my life sooo easy. Not to forget it saved me a lot of money 👍👍😊
    I have two 6 inch twin xl Inner Spring mattresses and with the above method I was able to vacuum pack and roll them up in just 1 minute each. I used my home vacuum that is Shark Navigator Liftaway 352 and it worked like a charm. Got the plastic mattress bags from Walmart. Thanks again... I am so so happy 😁😊
    Just for others like us... If you want a Shop vac, as Ken mentioned it's available for rent in Home Depot in $15 for 4 hours. That was my backup plan if in case my home vacuum didn't work 😝

    .... If you place the mattress on the floor and walk all over the mattress from the far end to the vacuum.. this will help flatten it to about an inch and a half ... This will allow it to fit in shipping box ...

    Very cool method.
    However, in the absence of a thick-mil mattress bag and a shop-vac, you can also use clean, carefully-used ratchet straps, then packing tape, then roll-plastic; works adequately.

  • @chardee82
    @chardee82 Před 6 lety

    Ken can you tell me what I'm doing wrong. I sealed up everything except the corner of the mattress and as soon as I turn it on the shop vac starts sucking in the plastic wrap which blocks the air flow from being pulled from the bag. I've spent over an hour messing with this thing and you made it look so easy.

    • @KenHightower
      @KenHightower  Před 7 lety

      Only if it's a foam type mattress, most spring mattresses have hard edge wire and if you bend it it will ruin the mattress. You could also just fold it in half if it's a foam mattress

      @@KenHightower My point was, we shouldn't have to purchase a return bag. If companies stand by t heir product, they should include a return shipping bag just in case. They've known this for a long time from customers griping on Amazon specifically whose customers purchase from all companies on their platform. Their major gripe is, the hassle in returning. If a bag is already provided, then it's up to the consumer to already have a cheap shop vac, or borrow one from a relative.
