Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I see. Only thing it's a big hassle to take it to the recycling place here, not sure it fits in our car and no tow bar either. I did find out that it's only $30 for Heathcotes to do old appliance removal if I buy through them though.

Haha I have heard before you can get the Ecosa mattresses cheaper by looking for the returned ones at salvation army stores. Not sure if that's still the case. Anyway I'd prefer full latex vs memory foam type which we've had for a long time already. I don't know I feel kind of bad to give an unsupportive mattress away to someone knowing they'll be waking up with sore backs sooner or later 😂

Honestly I think you'll likely pay $20-30 regardless so if you aren't paying extra to buy through them then that's probably a pretty good deal.

Different people like different mattresses. It might be their jam. Or might be for a guest room that doesn't get slept in often. Or they might be young, young people can sleep anywhere and not even notice.
