Get a sleep number bed, then you can each have it as firm or soft as you want

73 degrees 24/7 in this house, and 9c/kWh

Meh. Encountered a sleep number bed in a hotel once. It had lots of numbers, and they were all too soft. 😂

Today, in central LA at 3pm it is now 95 fahrenheit.

Your dog would not be happy unless you had your AC working full belt.

At the 3,000+ quoted on their US website (so 4,000+ in CAD) they are well beyond our budget.

I have never seen one in a store here, not sure if anyone sells them. Their website doesn't show any nearby stores in Canada, closest one is somewhere in Washington state.

I thought the OP had chinchilla's?


Dogs for the most part if given shade and water can handle 95F, lots of people in So. Cal have dogs without any a/c and the dogs survive just fine.

Lots of older houses have no a/c still. I never had a/c when I lived there, nor does my sisters, or dad and they all have dogs too.

It's not so bad if you're by the coast and can leave a window open so a breeze can blow through, but not many people are that fortunate.

I wouldn't want to leave an animal inside at 95 degrees in So Cal... doesn't seem fair :(

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

The dogs I know there have access to the outdoors via a doggy door so they are not kept inside, so figured most have doggy doors...lol

I just don't know anyone in the San Diego region with a/c even in east county, but they all have dogs but they are not left locked in a house, windows are open all the time, and doggy door access.

My dad has a mastiff and keeps a kiddie pool filled in the summer, she loves it.

I suppose if you go to the wealthier area's a/c might be more common. The peeps I know are in Chula Vista/El Cajon/Escondido and Spring Valley. But they are all old school residents born and raised well back in the day, a/c was the norm, we never had it growing up.

We bought our sleep number bed in Calgary back in 2007. I think it was at a Sleep Country Store, and it was $4,000+:eek: but we love it.

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

I wouldn't be able to sleep if I had spent that much on a bed. :unsure:

Lindsay Wagner is (was?) a 37 :nod:

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

I think they only sell them in their own stores :unsure: You can just buy the mattress and not the frame, and it's cheaper then.

We bought one last year, best money we've spent in a very long time. Strange thing is, we've both been uncomfortable for a long time, hubby insisting he needed a firm mattress, so it was like sleeping on a plank. We can now make our own settings and he actually sleeps on a softer setting than I do.

To link back into the actual thread, you can also get one with a cooling setting, might be useful for the chinchillas in LA ;)

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

Come now. We spend 1/3 of our life asleep. So why not spend good money on it? We spent around $6k on our King Mattress from Naturepedic (Latex).

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

If you have it, spend as much as you want, for the rest of us we have to stay realistic and within a limited budget.



Aside from price of the sleep number, we live in a small town with exactly 1 place to buy a mattress, initially tried Ikea since they had ones we could take home, but it didn't work out, sold it for what we paid, and bought a normal mattress but it's still not to my liking, also being a small town the show room has only 2 or 3 on display and only the 1,500+ models.

Our budget was 500-600 so we don't get a huge variety, my wife likes the mattress though and sleeps fine on it.

Re: Hourly Temperatures in LA
 

Funny, isn't it? Everyone's different. In my case, my favorite matress ever cost $300 new. The ex-wife hated it, which was convenient. 😂
