  • This video shows you exactly how I turned my cheap mattress from Amazon into a mattress that is more comfortable than a Tempurpedic.
    I searched high and low for mattresses and was shocked at how much they were!!
    I really wanted a mattress that felt like a high-end hotel bed and honestly, I figured out a way to do exactly that for a fraction of the cost.
    Here's exactly what I bought:
    14" MATTRESS - amzn.to/3eyrTef
    EXTRA THICK MATTRESS TOPPER: amzn.to/2K7HGCG
    SHEET SET: amzn.to/3euDWJ9
    SILK PILLOWCASES: amzn.to/2Vy4IYK
    COMFORTER (I bought 2 so it was extra fluffy): amzn.to/2VfZQZl
    DUVET COVER: amzn.to/2XGkuU3
    MATTRESS PROTECTOR: amzn.to/2KdMWVn
    PILLOW PROTECTORS: amzn.to/2xpfkBb
    VELVET PILLOWS (in cream white): amzn.to/2VNCSIb
    ANTELOPE PILLOW: americanschoolofcharm.com/
    Want to see where I got everything for my first apartment? - bysophialee.com/first-apartme...
    That's the exact things I used to turn my cheap mattresses into something I look forward to getting into every single night...hahaha seriously.

    Unfortunately, I never write reviews especially negative ones. Here's the thing. If this video provides financial compensation by having us click recommended links, be transparent and let us know. I purchased all the products recommended in the video and they are VERY low quality. Thank goodness I am using this for a guest room. If you're going to use these products daily please know they will NOT provide the quality of comfort specified in this video. I bought all these products and my guest room queen mattress feels the same. The mattress pad is flat like a pancake. If you're on a budget purchase at your own risk. The tips to add layers are of quality the recommended products are not. I hope this helps someone.

    @desertdweller8683 3 года назад +5

    Old vid I know, but I wanted to say thank you, thanks to your suggestion I got the mattress topper. We love it. I was actually looking for a way to improve our mattress...it's memory foam and not soft at all...this was a great pad..soft AND actually stays on the bed! This was useful information for anyone that wants a softer feeling mattress.
    I personally don't care for micro fiber sheets though...I know they are super popular right now...but...to me they sleep hot, and just feel....not quite right. I prefer a really nice all cotton set. However, the micro fiber can be a good budget option, no wrinkles, and probably hold up well, just not my preference..

    • @GooshawnXD
      @GooshawnXD 2 года назад +1

But I put the electric fleece blanket on top of the topper and then the mattress protector on top of that to protect the electric blanket? I do have another layer like a bedding sheet underneath all this. That’s a really good deal for a mattress.
