They are more reasonably priced than you imagine and if you sleep on ^ one for a single night, you will not be without it for twice the price we ask. When you consider how much of the time you sleep and how much sleep means to you, you will readily agree that [our invitation to inspect these mattresses is well worth your consideration. JS.
