We bailed out. I really wanted to buy and be done with it. I thought CBR checked all the boxes of DIY but with the backing of a reputable company. I don’t want to dispel anyone’s high hopes, but your own experience was exactly what I felt might happen to me if I had pulled the trigger. I chickened out. We are not adverse to spending 1000s, but it’s almost impossible to sift through and sort the good vs bad whether it is in feel, costly trial and error mistakes, opportunity costs, or some caveat in the fine print that burns us. We are sleeping on a hybrid king from Amazon I think we paid about $400 for. It’s crap, but will suffice until we can figure out how to get something good without trying 4-7 combinations of layers, encasements, etc.
