We all shudder at the thought of bedbugs invading us. I must warn you before you proceed...if you already have trouble sleeping, this won't make it any easier. People have been wondering----how can their formerly clean home and bedroom be infested with bedbugs? Why are they covered with bites in the morning, even though they just purchased a brand new mattress from my old buddy Art Van? Allow me to explain...or at least allow me to post an explanation from one of Art Van's loyal but disgruntled delivery truck drivers. You understand, of course, that he wishes to remain anonymous, but I do not.
Here is how it works: A homeowner or apartment renter in Detroit who is less than fastidious purchases a mattress from Art Van Furniture or one of his mattress subsidiaries. They opt to have it delivered. The truck drivers do so. Upon delivery, the purchaser opts to have the drivers remove the old mattress...but the old mattress is INFESTED with bedbugs! How does this affect you, pray tell? Simple. Your NEW MATTRESS is on the SAME DARN TRUCK, waiting to be delivered later in the day! Perhaps it is not your new mattress...maybe it is your new sofa or chair. The old mattress rubs against your new item...or all of the jostling dislodges several hundred bedbugs and they fall to the truck floor, finding themselves in immediate need of a new home. Your new mattress is convenient, so they HOP ON!! Oh Yeccchh! So you see, Art Van delivers more than just a bunch of empty promises about quality and value. With every purchase, you get dozens of new pets!! Happy shopping and sweet dreams!
