Assuming this is true, then Costco just moved up another huge notch in my book.<\/p>\n<p>We will be getting the mattress this week or so, but will not be setting it up for a few weeks as we have to paint the bedroom. As soon as the new bed arrives from Crate and Barrel, and the paint is up, then we will be setting up the bed and trying it out. I will report back then!<\/p>\n<p>Here is a summary of all of the posts I have written about beds.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodyabcs.com\/bwp\/2007\/12\/hunting-for-the-perfect-mattress-costco-vs-sleep-number-vs-temperpedic\/\">Hunting for the perfect mattress<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodyabcs.com\/bwp\/2008\/01\/the-bed-affair-continues\/\">The bed affair continues<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodyabcs.com\/bwp\/2008\/03\/the-costco-version-of-the-tempurpedic-sleep-number-bed-constructed\/\">The Costco Bed Constructed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well after much online mattress evaluation I ordered the Cal-King Nova Form Infinite Comfort Memory Foam Mattress from Costco.
