Looking for help in this great community. I’ve been an occasional service sub for a woman for a few months. In those few months I’ve served her about 6 times. Cleaning, laundry, help with her car, moving boxes, returning items, etc. I wasn’t ever perfect but she really appreciated the service and was thankful.

Recently I messed up a few things and she got mad and we both sort of decided that we would mutually end the arrangement. It seemed to end peacefully. Suddenly though, the next day she messaged me accusing me of damaging something in her home while cleaning the last time I was there a few days earlier. I told her I did not even touch this item. She began berating me and verbally attacking me. I told her I twice how I am now uncomfortable and to please stop. She refused saying she “dont give a fuck that you’re asking me to stop”. She told me the item that was “damaged” was sentimental and this is extremely upsetting to her. She also accused me of throwing part of the item out. I told her I absolutely did not and would never do that.

I feel like I may be being set up for extortion now, as she has a whole history of texts from me with many intimate things about me. She also knows my name and address. She does not know where I work. She’s always had a bit of a minor attitude , but I am in shock over these turn of events. I am desperately seeking advice now as it is clear I am dealing with someone who may be uncontrollable and damaged. Never trusting anyone again with my information. As of right now the conversation has stopped for the moment. Anxiety currently through the roof.

I am doing a repost of this thread as I foolishly deleted it after thousands of views and many comments of support after I was contacted by a rep from Helix who nicely explained that if I contact their customer support, they would be able to assist me and figure out a solution. Pleasantly surprised, I removed the thread before contacting Helix as I felt a bit bad about the post already. Now though, I am leaving this up for everyone to see and will not be removing it again as Helix's support said they could not help me as I didn't buy the mattress directly from their site. I pleaded with them but was still turned down.

The thing is, long story short, mattress shopping has been hell for me and I did TWO exchanges with a mattress retailer (nightmarish couple of months) before landing on what I felt was finally the perfect mattress. Not too soft, not too firm. The somewhat luxurious Helix Midnight Luxe for a whopping $1800 out the door(discounted price there, by the way) and my absolutely final exchange. Shelling out all that cash and looking at the Midnight Luxe as what I felt was a solid high end mattress is what made me feel confident.

After just two weeks or so however, I began noticing a dip by my hips. This is the same type of thing I noticed in a previous mattress as well, after just a few weeks. Welcome to the modern day mattress world, I suppose. Not too long after this realization of the dip though, it got worse. We are talking a borderline complete lack of support in that area now. I moved to the other side of the mattress and it was like paradise again. Full support the way it should be. It is also at a point now where I can push down about halfway into the entire 13.5 inch mattress at the hip area, which shows a dramatic breakdown of support in such a short timeframe. Mind you I am a thin guy at only 140 lbs. Basically, the mattress is overrated and must not be great quality after all. A surreal thing for a mattress that retails for over TWO GRAND. I would advise anyone looking at this mattress to think long and hard before you shell out big money.

They don't make mattresses like they used to and today it seems like many companies just rely on strong marketing. I was never fully against a "bed in a box" but now I will stick to something else. I cannot go back to the retailer I purchased this from as I was told this was my very last mattress exchange which I totally understood.

I've had this mattress for 2.5 weeks and it's been amazing so far, but the last couple of nights I've noticed that my hip is sagging a bit. When I move over to the other side where I've yet to sleep on, the mattress feels firm again and my body/hip is fully supported. Is this just normal "break in" or is this $1800 mattress already starting to sag after just 2.5 weeks?
