Most people’s first apartments had floors lined with raw oatmeal, a repurposed Twister mat for a bed, and a showerhead that intermittently drizzled viscous, jet-black fluid and liquid police sirens. Now that you have the pad of your dreams, pick up some pad padding with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $125 toward any full-, queen-, or king-size mattress set at Best Mattress in West Columbia.

Best Mattress manufactures and stocks a snooze-inducing spread of hand-crafted mattresses, which are individually bench built by a single craftsman and then packed with raw materials such as genuine latex foam and Lura Flex innerspring units to provide durable cushioning and good night sleeps. Papa bears hibernate on firm Elegance Orthopedics ($274 full, $309 queen, $399 king) while Goldilocks enjoy just-right slumbers on the medium-firm Ultima ($499 full, $549 queen, $749 king). Browse the website for a full list of products and pricing. Like pizza and singing fish heads, Best Mattress mattresses can be ordered online, in-store, or over the phone, and free local delivery is included with today's deal.
