-Giving back to the Augsburg community
-Helping someone transition to Augsburg College
-Skipping lottery by signing your contract early

Subject: Luxurious THOMAS O'BRIEN MATTRESS from M. Fields
Submitter: Stephanie Malone, Director of the Augsburg Fund, Development

Message: Practically brand new! This plush, luxurious Simmons Thomas O'Brien KING-SIZED mattress & box spring is a PREMIUM Simmons Beautyrest Exceptionale (SIMMONS VERY TOP OF THE LINE) mattress from Marshall Fields.

Beautiful taupe damask fabric cover with well-stitched wavy quilted pattern. Low profile, split box spring included with sale of mattress.

PRICE: Asking $1,000 for this practically brand new mattress. (Originally paid $3,000 at Marshall Fields.) Still has Nine Years left of original warranty.

MATTRESS CONDITION: Only a year old. The entire time it was used, it was completely covered and extremely well cared for. From a non-smoking, pet-free, odor-free home.

WHY I'M SELLING: Moved from a very spacious 2BR apt to a much smaller 1BR loft. Otherwise, I would keep this luxurious mattress.

ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER:
The Thomas O'brien name is used within the Simmons Beautyrest Exceptionale line ("EXCEPTIONALE" IS SIMMONS VERY TOP OF THE LINE CATEGORY OF SIMMONS MATTRESS). Thomas O'brien designed the fabric for this particular line, hence the name.

The Exceptionale line offers even more motion dampening benefit than a regular basic Simmons Beautyrest mattress. The Exceptionale line also ensures longer use than a regular Beautyrest mattress: encased edge support provides enhanced durability and support.

FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS: Please e-mail me if you're interested. Also, you must pick up the mattress. (Sorry, delivery is not an option.) But, I can help load the mattress set with you!
