I find the firm Ikea mattress very comfortable and it's less than 300, is it considered odd to buy them for someone who's in the 30s?

No. Nobody needs to know. And invest some of the savings in high quality cotton bed-linens and good pillows

My wife and I have one of the IKEA mattresses (I think a $500 one?) and it’s been great. Had one of the ones you might be describing before and had no issues with it either. Save the money! No shame!

Just lie to the people in the store and say you are buying it for a college dorm for your nephew.

I wouldn’t sleep well knowing that it’s from Ikea but I’m super picky when it comes to mattresses.

The next million dollar wellness trend will be sleeping on the floor on wooden matts, you just wait.

Are you the one sleeping on it? If so move on and buy it. We all get lucky with some things, you apparently get lucky with cheap mattresses :)

Are you buying it for a guest bedroom? Stop and purchase a medium mattress and have a mattress topper for it - all can be from ikea.

I gave away my $6k temperpeudic (5 years old )to my house cleaners daughter and got $400 IKEA mattress and I’ve not slept better in the last 6 years . All Memory foam is the biggest scam , go for hybrid . Also my reason for IKEA was repeated great sleeps at sisters house who has IKEA mattresses (she is a college professor) .

I hope you are going for Morgedal mattress from ikea! It’s the best.

Tired of all the respectability politics. Just once I want to write what I really mean in an email or tell a client what I really think of them when they ask.

Who's doing that for me at work? Nobody.

Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
