If you lift one side up, the other side comes down and it forms a couch.  Of course, that&#8217;s the only up and down action that futon bed has ever seen since I&#8217;ve owned it.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I picked up the Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress, or <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Daily_Show_recurring_elements#NAMBLA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NAMBLA<\/a> for short.  I ended up with a full sized version because it was the only clearance model left and I expect my bachelor ass to be sleeping alone for a very long time.  <\/p>\n<p>::tear::<\/p>\n<p>Its original price was over $2,000, but the salesman said he had to get rid of it to make room for the new Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress II, or <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Daily_Show_recurring_elements#NAMBLA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NAMBLA<\/a> II for short.   So I ended up getting an 83 percent discount on it and paid $342.93 for it, not including the box spring, delivery, and the bed frame, which brought the total to about $530.<\/p>\n<p>I REALLY wanted a bed shaped like a heart that rotated and vibrated with red and black tiger print silk sheets on top of it.  However, I realized that I should have something practical.  Although, a heart-shaped bed that rotates and vibrates with red and black tiger print silk sheets is actually practical&#8230;but only when making sweet, sweet lovin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been sleeping on the Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress for the past four days and it&#8217;s definitely an upgrade from my previous bed.  But then again, almost ANYTHING would&#8217;ve been a step up from my futon bed, like a hobo&#8217;s flattened refrigerator cardboard box or the multiple-body-fluid-stained mattress of a three dollar crack whore.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a REALLY comfortable bed and probably the best one I&#8217;ve ever slept on.  The Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress is even more comfortable thanks to the 300 thread count sheets I bought for it.  <\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t slept on 300 thread count sheets and still are sleeping on your 1980s Transformers or My Little Pony bed sheets, I&#8217;d suggest you definitely upgrade.  High thread count sheets feel really good, just as good as red and black tiger print silk sheets.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the major reason why the Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress is so comfortable is because it&#8217;s FRICKIN&#8217; THICK.  The mattress itself is 13 inches thick.  Add the box spring and the bed frame and the total height of my bed is 30 inches.  My roommate&#8217;s bed is only 20 inches tall.  <\/p>\n<p>If only my bed was 63,330 inches taller and I could find a woman willing to make sweet, sweet lovin&#8217; with me, then I could join the Mile High Club.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty inches is a little too tall and I have to admit that I do have to jump a little to get onto my bed, but that&#8217;s not the real problem about my bed&#8217;s height.  The real problem is when <a href=\"\/images\/sealybed.mov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this happens<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/quicktime\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quicktime<\/a> required).<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Sealy Posturepedic Sapphire SE Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $342.93 (Mattress Only)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Sears<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  4 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  REALLY comfortable.
