Still No Internet...(and Keetsa!)

I'm about to kill someone at AT&T DSL. Hello? It's been THREE WEEKS since I first called to activate service. Sure, they have all these excuses about how they're backed up and it was an unforeseeable problem (one which still hasn't been clearly described to me) but c'mon. Who waits three weeks for DSL in this day and age?

Anyway, bottom line is I have no internet at home. The topic today: THE KEETSA CLOUD.

Keetsa is a new company we stumbled upon while mattress shopping around Harrison and 4th. I know what you're thinking: "Pei, let's talk about food, eh?"

Well, get this: Keetsa mattresses are stuffed with green tea. That's right, I'm sleeping on green tea. Most of the mattress is still foam filler and memory foam, but the materials aren't as heavily treated with potentially toxic chemicals, and there is green tea in the core. In a nutshell, Keetsa is a company that's been developing eco-friendly mattresses that are made with non-toxic, sustainable, recyclable materials, and one of the things they use is green tea for its antibacterial properties. After all, mattresses can be breeding grounds for mold and mites.

In addition to being all green and tree-huggy, Keetsa mattresses have a 20 year warranty, a 30 day money back guarantee, and come in a box small enough to fit in the back seat of a Prius. GASP! Yes, they vacuum pack each mattress so that even a small person like myself is able to roll one home and drag it up a few stairs all by myself.

But, and this is most important of all, the Keetsa is comfortable. We bought the Keetsa Cloud, which is their memory foam answer to Temperpedic's more famous mattresses. The Keetsa Clous is firmer, cheaper by hundreds of dollars, and more eco-coscious than the Temperpedic, which literally helps me sleep at night.

So even though I want to rip someone's head off over at AT&T, at least I'm getting a good night's sleep on a dream mattress.

have you looked into fios? that would bypass all the difficulties with the unused phone lines.

Evil AT&T! The mattress sounds so interesting -- so if I ever get thirsty, all I need to do is pull some tea out and brew?

They actually do give samples of the tea with their brochures, but it's understandably pretty low quality. But better than some tea I've had in restaurants!

Umm...what happened to your face in the picture? It's as if someone or you scratched it off before put it online.

Hi,

Here is an alternate view of the Keetsa Cloud. We have had ours for a couple weeks. The mattress cover includes some memory foam strips that do not go all the way across the mattress. (See the picture of the cloud on the Keetsa web site) The foam strips reduce the size of the bed because you tend to fall off if you get near the edge.
Our queen size bed was no longer big enough for the two of us.

This is a bad design! Why not extend the strips all the way to the edge? We took the cover off.
