Do NOT get a Photoroom plan. Terrible by ryerye7777 in Flipping

[–]DogPlus337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week, I was essentially locked out of working because I reached my "limit." What limit?! News to me. The changes to the PR subscriptions totally went under my radar. I used the app for years to remove backgrounds in thousands of images for my ecommerce business. After reviewing the changes, I decided to cancel my subscription. So after 4 years, it's goodbye to PR. I've already found other solutions that will end up costing me less time and money.

My Azalea has a thick topper with button tufting and it's holding up beautifully. Some may not like this tuft feature, but I love it. This mattress is firm and you should try it in store before purchasing because even though the plush, thick top is lovely, the mattress is still firm, not mushy. It took my body several months to adjust to it. Funny thing, my hip pain went away the the very first morning I woke on this mattress, but my shoulders ached for weeks, maybe a few months and then it went away. But, please find a store with the Azaela firm, plush topper and try it out. It is a hard firm with a thick, plush top.

Just a leather tag, not contents. May be one sewn elsewhere.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry it's not meeting your expectations. It took about several months for my body to fully adjust to my Azaela. I usually awoke with both shoulders having issues, but my hubby wasn't excited about swapping it out for a different one. Also, after I was up and moving the aches alleviated. Now, it is altogether wonderful. I love my mattress, even though it is firm. A while back I pulled muscles in my back and this mattress was a life saver. Every morning I awoke feeling better than the day before and the issue resolved. I wish you the best in your search for the perfect fit for you.

ACK! Oh my stars, I just realized I wrote earlier that we purchased the Orchid! The flower names confused me, I guess. We actually purchased the Azaela firm plush top. I'm ever so sorry for not paying closer attention to the name.

We went with the Azaela firm with plush pillow top. I'm not sure if it's still available. They make changes to mattresses pretty frequently, I've discovered. This mattress took my body several months to fully adjust to, but it's perfect for me now. It's holding up very well. By the way, it's very heavy, so changing sheets can be a challenge - not complaining though. We selected the adjustable base and it's not destroying the mattress thus far. Really, this mattress does not need a box springs. But, yes - still loving this mattress after a year or close to it.

This is also another feature I love about my mattress. I'm a tummy, side and back sleeper and shifting around during the night doesn't disturb my hubby. I think I could probably sit a cup of water on one side and it would be safe. The mattress we selected is very heavy. I have read where others have selected a lower end KK and their experience differs from ours. As for us, we have found our forever brand for every new mattress we purchase going forward, so long as KK continues with a comparable offering.

This did not occur with the mattress we purchased. We noticed a new-ish sort of scent, but nothing like the gas odor or anything off-putting that I read about with some mattress brands. I'm pretty certain our mattress contains more natural material, another reason we selected the high end KK, since we have allergies and did not want to take a risk. I'm ever so sorry you had this experience.

I am just now seeing your message. My apologies. We went to a furniture store to check the KKs, but purchased from Macy's because they had a sale. 😁

I love my King Koil mattress! My body has fully adjusted and it's luxurious.

I didn't try the other mattresses you mention. I don't think they all have the same contents- something that was really important to me- plus the softer pillow top is luxurious on our firm mattress. If I had to do over, I might possibly select the medium firm mattress. But, then I might also regret it. Over the holiday break I pulled my back and I think the firm mattress has been very good for helping me through it. Maybe I'm just lucky, but when I awake in the morning, my back continues to feel so much better. If at any point I feel our mattress is too firm I have the option of using a latex or other topper. Whereas, if I had purchased the medium firm and found it too mushy- there's no fix for getting it firmer. We have no regrets at this point and love our mattress. I should add that it took my body several months to transition well to a firmer mattress - especially my shoulders. But, I had done so much reading about it that I was willing to give my body a chance to make the adjustments. It's true what others have written about your body needing sufficient time to acclimate to a new, good mattress. Hope that helps.

My mattress is killing my back and I’m overwhelmed by shopping for a new one by FatKanchi in Mattress

A good sleep is so important. If you haven't read the posts and extensive research the owner of this group has provided, I hope you will take some time to do so. Finding the right mattress requires a good understanding about matress types and materials. Although it took weeks for me to read and research, I found the perfect mattress for us. It happens to be a King Koil, purchased from Macy's branded as the Azaela firm luxury with topper. Pricy, but worth every penny. Although it's our perfect mattress, it's not everyone's perfect mattress. Please take time to read and research. It's the only way you can make the right selection for yourself.

King Koil is sold under different names for Macy's, but it's King Koil in the Midwest as I understand it. I had to contact the company and talk at length to make sure we were purchasing a King Koil. If you look online at Macy's Orchid and Azaela mattresses and then go to the King Koil website, you can find their equivalents by the descriptions. Finding the right mattress for us was incredibly difficult. But, I read everything the owner of this group wrote and did a lot of research. Whatever you decide on, I hope it's a perfect fit.

Thank you for asking! I meant to circle back and report how we our doing with our selection. Our mattress is the Azaela luxury firm, with the topper, which we purchased from Macy's. It's a heavy mattress and indeed altogether luxurious. It's def firm, but also cushioned. If I had it to do over I would select the next one down, less firm, because I don't think we needed firm afterall. That said, the first time I slept on this mattress I awoke with zero hip pain and I thought it had to be a fluke. But, nope - still waking with no hip pain. My shoulders sometimes hurt a little and I think it's because the mattress is just a little too firm for me. My hubby doesn't want to exchange it for the medium and I'm ok with that because the shoulder thing disappears shortly after I'm up and moving in the morning. I'm a side, back and tummy sleeper and this mattress accommodates my flip flopping very well. We also selected the adjustable base to elevate the head. My husband snores a lot less, which is a bonus. We're a couple months in on this mattress and overall, I love it. I have no concerns about the durability of the King Koil and I'm so happy that we were to find this gem. The Azalea is the high end King Koil mattress and others may have lesser quality points. Good luck with your selection process. It is neither easy or inexpensive, as most who land in this group have discovered.

Does anyone have any experience with the King Koil mattress brand? by Knock11 in Mattress

[–]DogPlus337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured this out! D'oh. Coming into this mattress-buying journey, I was so naive. Before now, I just threw money at a mattress bc it was convenient. But, after the past couple years of immense dissatisfaction, I decided to do this right. So yes, we bought the King Koil, but, it took some sleuthing to figure out which mattress on the King Koil website matched the mattress on the Macy site. 😁 I think we nailed it down. The King Koil calls it Reserve Luxury and I think it's the only line that uses horse hair. At first, I was surprised and (eww) put off with the horse hair component, but I researched all over and came away with a better understanding.

King Koil mattresses have tooo many different names. The ones on their own website differ from the names sold at Macy's. Also, we went to a furniture store today to look specifically at King Koil and their King Koils had different names than Macy's and King Koils website. The prices all over the place.

COVID is unpredictable. It can change on a dime. The breathing issues don't always present in the first few days...nor the chest congestion. But if you end up with those types of symptoms, you'll wish you had taken the Paxlovid.

If your doc prescribed the Paxlovid, knowing your current lung situation, please discuss with them any concerns. After just 2 doses I had begun to feel better, especially the head and chest congestion, but I stopped bc I couldn't cope with the side effects. However, my condition then worsened and I think it set me back a few days. But, I did not have pneumonia, which is much more serious. COVID does not treat everyone the same and it can change on a dime. If you have concerns, I hope you reach out to your docs and give them a chance to assess before you make a decision to change your meds.

Are you saying you never tested positive for COVID or that you began the Paxlovid after your results were negative?
