Olympic Queen Mattress

[l2alphmacchio]

Like any other freshly graduated college student, I bought a mattress right after leaving college. I bought one of the "clearance" higher end models from Homemakers and put it on the floor in my apartment as I spent too much on the mattress and couldn't afford a frame. Fast forward 15 years, a wife and three kids later. We now have a nice bed frame that fits the same mattress. It is time to get a new mattress, but the wife wants to stick with the Olympic Queen size as the normal Queen is too small, and a King is just too big (insert plenty of innuendos). Problem is, I cannot find anyone who sells these things. Anyone out there in CF Land been able to purchase an Olympic Queen mattress in the last couple of years?

I've never even heard of that size until this thread.

Wish I could help. I'm very happy with my Helix Midnight Queen I got online.

Yeah, I did a lot of mattress shopping a couple years ago, and didn't see that size at all.

I've never heard of them but you sparked my curiosity.

Options are limited, even on the internet. Found this though. https://restrightmattress.com/product/12″-organic-cotton-supreme-2-memory-foam/

I have one of these from a long time ago. You’re the first person I’ve ever encountered that also owns one.

When you finally upgrade to a king it's life changing.

King for the win. Wife was initially against it, but I won in the end. Now she's a believer.

I like the king as well, however when we “upgraded” from our queen sized bed, we didn’t purchase a TempurPedic. Oldest daughter got the hand-me-down. I miss my TempurPedic

One of best things about a king is you can go to bed steaming mad and never have to accidentally touch your partner. Passive aggressive is my favorite kind of aggressive.

"Dang, I wish this bed was smaller."

Could you just buy a king, tell her it's an Olympic queen, and then scratch your head and tell her that they must have changed the specs on an Olympic Queen when she finds out your sheets don't fit?

First of all, this is the kind of marital deceit that I come to CF for. Thank you.

However, your plan has a fatal flaw. Guys are historically terrible at telling women that things are smaller than they actually are.
