Question
We dont want to pay 139.74 shipping. Is there somewhere we could pick up ES2-7363Inner-Spring Mattress - Extra Firm with Foam Toppe

Answer

Dave,

The reason the shipping is so high is due to the fact this mattress must be shipped via truck. All innerspring mattresses cost a great deal of shipping charges. If you purchase a FOAM mattress, the shipping charges should only be about $24.95. Innerpring mattresses can not be folded, foam can. Let me know if you will like to take the foam mattress instead.

Question
How heavy is the mesh. Our old carts have vinyl covers and we are looking for something thicker - not sheer.

Answer
We have two color options available, both of which are made of vinyl fibers, one would be the "mesh" which is the lighter of the two but it does have pinholes as any standard mesh would.  The other option is the "sure check" which is also a vinyl material but it is solid with no pinholes and in turn is a bit heavier, but only comes in Pink, White, Brushstroke and Mint.

Question
My son hurt his satorius muscle during a soccer game. he is senior. and wants to play. which brace would you recommend he wear when he plays and what he should wear while he is healing. or would this brace work. thanks

Answer

Dear Mr. Vann:

Thank you for your inquiry.  If your son has not yet seen a doctor, we would recommend doing that first and then contacting us with his findings.  Being a lifelong soccer player myself and having played at various levels, I can assure you that getting advice from a good specialist first will prevent reoccuring injuries and extensive time in rehab or on sidelines.
