- Welcome back to what's inside.
I'm Lincoln, this Dan.
- Today we're here in my master bedroom,
with our master bed that we've had for 10 years.
This thing cost us $3500.
- We've had so many requests to cut in half the mattress.
So today, we are going to do it.
- You might think I'm a little crazy getting rid o
of a mattress that cost that much money,
but the truth is, over the 10 year,
we had three kids and during that time
they jump on the bed, they throw the pillows off the bed,
they come in with their sippy cups full of liquid
that spill milk and water and juice all over the bed.
We walked into that mattress store in Arizona
very naive for the process,
wandered around, tried the different beds
and just laid on a bunch of them
and after a while every bed feels the same.
The problems with just going
and laying on a mattress at the store
is that we got the most comfortable one
with this big pillow top that was really cozy,
but if you see, I like roll down.
There's one little spot that it makes
you sink into and you're stuck here.
And this happened about a year into having the mattress.
We wanted to do a more scientific approach
to getting a mattress this time.
I decided to go to helixsleep.com
and the nice thing is they customize your bed for you
based off of a series of questions that you answer.
And they have a 100 night sleeping warranty.
And the cost of it is anywhere from $900
to a $1000 for a king.
Awesome, here comes our bed.
How's it going?
I've been waiting for this.
It's a bed. We just ordered a bed from the internet.
- Probably never going to get it back in that box again.
(laughing)
Alright now.
- Cool.
Now to the moment that we've all been waiting for.
- Let's cut this mattress.
(upbeat music)
- The Sawzall does a nice job on the pillow top,
but it doesn't do a good job on the actual fabric.
It's pretty think, so I'm going
to cut it with this razor blade.
Just make a line all the way through it.
(upbeat music)
(ripping sound)
- Ha, oh my.
- What are these guys. These funny little springs.
They're all individually packaged.
- Wow.
(scream)
- Ah!
(laughing and clapping)
- Yeah!
(screaming)
- How's it look Lincoln.
- Awesome.
I love these like whole...
These...
Wow, look at that.
It's looks like a bees nest how there's
like holes and holes and holes.
But it's fluffy.
And then these ones are like...
Kind of like some of them are triangles, stuff like that.
And then here's a pink layer.
Woohoo I like pink. And then...
- Feel the bottom of this thing.
- Some more of those and that's kind of...
- And another one of the same one.
- Yup, and then yellow.
- And then what else?
- Then the springs are next.
- Tons of springs.
(laughing)
- Now look at the bottom.
- Look at that. Look how many springs there are
in there and that's only half the mattress.
- Crazy.
- And then there's some more layers of this foamy stuff.
- And then your new home. You're new cave.
- Oh boy, this is...
Aw!
- How's your new cave? Hello?
- Hi!
(laughing)
You get a tour of our house while we're going down.
- Oh this is so much easier than the whole mattress.
- Mattress number two bringing downstairs.
This is called riding down the stairs in half of a mattress.
- You ready?
- Whoo-ee!
(yelling)
- It's crazy to think that inside of this box
is a kind sized mattress.
(upbeat music)
Check this out, it's wound so tight
that no wonder they could fit a whole mattress in there.
It's like air tight.
(upbeat music)
- It's the bed.
- Woops, uh oh. Under penalty of law
this tag is not to be removed except by the consumer.
Good thing we're the consumer.
Check this out. The bed is personalized for me.
Here's the different things that I like
based off of the survey that I took.
Oh that's cozy.
(sigh)
